Unit 8 Once upon a Time Section A (1a-pronunciation)课件2025-2026学年人教版英语七年级下册

该初中英语课件围绕“Once upon a Time”单元，聚焦童话词汇、句型及ch/ph/sh/th/wh字母组合发音规则。课堂导入从学生熟悉的童话（如Little Red Riding Hood）和看图识故事入手，通过听力活动（狮子和老鼠、农夫与马的故事排序及问答）搭建学习支架，衔接词汇语法学习与语言输出。 其亮点在于融合语言能力与文化意识，通过中外童话对比（如狮子和老鼠与塞翁失马）培养跨文化交际意识，听力问题引导学生独立分析（如“农夫为何保持平静”）提升思维品质。采用发音分组练习、故事复述等方法，助力学生语言运用与自主学习，教师可借助结构化活动设计提高教学效率。

Look at the pictures. Do you know what stories they are about? A poor fisherman caught a magic goldfish. The goldfish begged for freedom and promised to grant wishes. The fisherman freed it. His greedy wife asked for a trough, then a house, and even to be a queen. In the end, her greed made her lose everything and return to poverty. Once upon a time, a little mouse was running around when it accidentally woke up a sleeping lion. The angry lion caught the mouse and was about to eat it. The mouse pleaded, “Please, Mr. Lion. If you spare me, I might be able to help you someday.” The lion laughed at the idea but let the mouse go.Later, the lion got caught in a hunter's net. Just as he was struggling hopelessly, the mouse came along. Using its sharp teeth, the mouse gnawed through the ropes and set the lion free. From then on, the lion realized that even the smallest creatures can be of great help. Long ago, Zhang Sengyou, a great painter, was asked to paint dragons on a temple wall. He painted four lifelike dragons but left out their eyes. People were curious. Zhang said the dragons would fly away if he added eyes. No one believed him. Finally, he dotted eyes on two dragons. Suddenly, thunder roared, and the two dragons flew into the sky. The story shows details matter and Zhang's amazing painting skills. Once, an old man's horse ran away. His neighbors pitied him, but he thought it might be a blessing. Later, the horse returned with another horse. When everyone congratulated him, he remained calm. Soon, his son got hurt riding the new horse. But this saved his son from war. Listening Listen to the first conversation.
