Teaching Procedures:

Step 1 Play a guessing game

Show students some photos of famous persons and get them to guess who they are.

设计意图: 从学生熟悉并且感兴趣的名人着手, 玩猜猜看的游戏, 由美国总统布什的滑稽造型引出本单元的重点句子: He is running.

Step 2 Lead in

Show students a picture of Yao Ming and ask them “what is he doing?” and get them to answer “He is playing basketball.” Then do the same with pictures of Bill Gates, Li Yuchun and Yang Liping.

设计意图: 从学生所熟悉的名人出发, 用现在进行时态的句子进行问答, 不必要求学生说得非常正确,只是让学生对现在进行时态的句子有一个初步的认识.

Step 3 Practice

Show more pictures and get students to practice the pattern: what is he/she doing? He/She is …. And at the same time teach some new words.

设计意图:在这一步骤中, 要尽量引导学生说正确的现在进行时态的句子, 在不断的操练中熟悉句型.

Step 4 Listen and read

Listen to the dialogue in Activity 3, and before they listen ask them to think about 2 questions. 1) Where is Betty calling? 2) Why is she there? After answering the 2 questions, get them to read the dialogue in pairs.

Step 5 Match

Match the people and the actions. Then get them to write full sentences using names. For example: Betty is talking to her mother.

设计意图: 在这一步骤中,让学生从说转移到写上, 这对以后的两个单元的学习会起到很好的帮助.

Step 6 Play a game

把全班学生分成3大组分别写一些短语, 第一组写主语,第二组写正在做什么, 第三组写地点. 然后每组分别叫一个同学上来, 把他们的短语组合成一句句子.这样组合起来的句子肯定非常滑稽, 让同学们在轻松愉快的氛围下把当天所学的知识加以巩固.在游戏中结束了第一单元的学习.
