My cat
My cat has soft fur,
And loves to purr.
She can jump really high,
Way up into the sky.
She has a pair of blue eyes,
And likes to run after butterflies.
Sometimes she climbs a tall tree,
But never forgets to come back to me.
When I'm lonely, she's always there.
She can't speak, but does care.
When I need a friend or feel sad,
She is always by my side.

What does the dog usually do?
The dog is _______.
He runs after a ball.
He can do wonderful tricks.
He loves to collect sticks.
Time is up! The first Q: What does the dog do?
Here I give you some pictures as a hint. You need to look at the picture and tell me what does the dog do.
The first pic: run after means? 追赶,the dog runs very hard to catch the ball.
The second pic: hunt means? Can you use a phrase to explain it? =look for/search for
The third pic: build…out of… Can you put the sentence in another way? He uses sticks to put up a tent.
From the dog’s behaviour, can you use some adjective to describe the dog? He is ? Clever, smart, naughty, energetic, playful…
Hunt=look for/search for
图片没有camps
Use sticks to put up a tent* (can you show me “sticks”?)
Smart/clever/naughty/sloppy
出声读
All these examples help support the main idea “the cleverest animal of all”.
Cleverest-run after, hunt, build
举例和诗眼是呼应的
如果我举别的例子:
为什么不写小狗的别的行为?
Feature?不用出单词也可以,自然生成
Clever, playful, energetic
上一步是让学生把表格填了,主要是理解意思。这一步让学生对着图像说出图片对应的behaviour,检验学生的运用能力。
在提到这些单词的时候,问问他们如,hunt是什么意思呀?Look for sb.;build camps out of sticks means? Use sticks to build camps

Who can read the three lines with strong feeling?
可以和学生打个比方:What if your parents say “You are the cleverest kid in the world!” They must feel very proud of you, right?
Now we’ve figure out [what] the poem is about.
We know the writer often writes a poem to show his/her feelings, right? Love, pride, care
Let’s see what are the writer’s feelings about the dog? How do you know? You can circle some key words that show the writer’s feelings!
①回答的出来就继续引导
②回答不出来就可以have a discussion再引导
*如果提到all, never等表示强调的词
All: My dog is cleverer than monkeys. The dog is the king in his heart. He is the best/top one in his heart!
Never: His dog is always friendly! Always kind to others!
Why does the writer use he?
Here the writer uses personification. He thinks the dog is just like his friend, family member.
So from these key words, we can feel the writer’s love and care for the dog.
