Teaching Procedures
Tips
Step 1 Warming up&Lead-in
Warming up
Ask students to watch a video about a famous bear, and then ask them two questions about it:
1. Do you know the bear in the video?
2. What do you think of its life?
T can teach these expressions to Ss: colorful, interesting, unexpected...
Then lead to the topic sentence: His life is full of the unexpected.
Lead-in
Brainstorm
Do you remember any unexpected situations in your daily life?
T can lead students to say these phrases:get up late,fall down,leave the key...
Step 2 Listening &Presentation
因为这些时间状语都是已经学过的,但时间又相隔较远,所以教师适时地唤起学生记忆就变得尤为重要了。
PPT 中的视频里的对话内容就是书本1b的听力内容,通过视频可以让学生更直观地感受听力中Mary身上发生的事, 可以帮助学生缓解部分听力压力。
Retell的设计旨在检测学生对于听力部分内容以及重点词句的掌握,同时对与学生口语表达能力和逻辑思维能力也有一定促进作用。
