宁波市北仑中学 郑静君

Warming-up 展现在学生面前一幅中国地图，图中标明邻国、邻海、邻岛，要求学生运用英语中方位的表达方式来谈论不同位置。让学生在情景中进行语言操练，激活学生已有的相关知识以此达到较好的热身效果。

　　

　　Listening ---- 是一篇听力材料，涉及“ 鲸鱼岛”。材料信息零散繁多，共呈现了：鲸鱼岛的位置，地貌，气候，城市，交通，农业及旅游。为了降低听辩的难度，听前设计了一份列表，以增加学生听力信息的汲取量，提高信息的准确率。

　　Speaking ----　旨在通过有关出生地的方位的对话来巩固“ Expressing location and direction”的语言功能。该部分在设计上留有空间，因此在课堂上进行适当地拓宽，使学生在真实的情景中提高口头表达能力和丰富学生有关描述“方位”“景点介绍”等的语言。

　　Reading ---- 是一篇介绍太平洋岛国 --- 新西兰的文章。文章共分四部分，即新西兰的地理位置及城市，新西兰的气候特征，新西兰的旅游及鸟类资源，居住者及毛利人的历史。通过 Pre-reading, While-reading & Post-reading 三个步骤，循序渐进地培养学生各项阅读技能。同时渗透有关新西兰风土人情、社交礼仪、生活习惯等方面的知识，

　　Language study--- 分词汇和语法两部分。词汇部分设计了六组描述“ land ” 的名词与形容词的配对练习，并在此基础上造句。旨在要求学生注意英语构词知识：名词转化成形容词加词根（后缀）的构词法；培养学生准确使用修饰语的习惯及能力。语法项目是有关“ It ” 的使用。在语法训练中，即要注意加强学生的合作学习，又须使机械操练带有一定的情景性和生活化。

　　Integrating skills---- 分为读、写两部分。学生通过阅读另一篇有关新西兰人文生活的资料，要求通读全文找出段落大意即文章框架。旨在让学生根据运用所学知识进行写作，写一篇介绍某个国家和地区的文章。该操练旨在提高学生写作结构多样，信息内容密集的介绍地点的文章的水平。

　　教学重点与难点▲重点：1. 掌握英语中方位的表达方式 , 2.“It ” 用作的用法，尤其 it做形式 主语的用法。 3. 学习及拓展与新西兰相关的词汇和知识 ▲难点 : 运用所学知识，恰当写作介绍某个国家 或地区的文章。
