Unit 1 Where’s your pen pal from?
一、单元教材分析
本单元的中心话题是pen pals。主要语言功能项目是talk about countries, cities and languages。语法结构为 Where…from; Where…live and what language…speak。先以Activity1复习语言与国家的配对练习入手，Activity2a, 2b一个综合的听力训练来展示学生的听力能力，并以听力内容为基础，通过Activity2c中假设的两人对话操练来培养学生的交流能力，同时也引导学生多沟通与多交流。Activity3a是一篇email形式的阅读文章，并有相关问题由学生在阅读后进行回答Activity3b 是根据提供的信息进行填空的写作练习，Activity3c是一篇模仿写作，让学生给自己的笔友写一封关于本人信息的email。我在各课时教学中设计各种各样的小活动，通过Discussion，Classifying，Guessing等不同方式让学生掌握本单元的知识点，用学会的知识与外国的笔友自如的交谈是学习本单元的目的。

五、教学过程设计
The First Period

Teaching procedures:
Step 1.Lead—in (1a&2a)
First greet the students. Then teacher begins the topic with the Spring Festival. Do you have a nice Spring Festival? Do you go to many places? I do. Then use the fresh pictures through computer to teach the students names of countries, cities. Divide the students into groups, then show the flags and pictures, let them guess the names of countries and cites. At last finish 2a on
page2. 通过这个环节，教师完成本单元的新单词的导入，通过提供给学生每个国家的地图，让学生猜出国家名称及相应的城市，学生能有意识的记忆国家及城市的名称，并为整节课任务的完成奠定最基本的词汇基础。在看图片时学生能够做到精神集中，并能激发学生的学习兴趣。
Step2.Practice(1c&2d)
①Teacher says: I goes to many places during the Spring Festival, so I have many pen pals from different countries. One of my pen pals is Sandy. She is from the UK. She lives in London. Ask the students: Do you have a pen pal? Some say yes, some say no. Then go on with “Where is she/he from?” and “Where does she/he live? Ask some students to stand up and practice with teacher.
②With these sentence structures, ask students to practice them in pairs. ③Make a Survey to understand your classmates better. Name
上面这些句型的操练都是为了最后一个任务作铺垫。操练的过程中可以及时纠正学生的错误。然后让学生填写调查表，了解全班同学的笔友分别来自哪个国家以及居住在哪个城市，同时让学生认识和了解一些国家和城市相关地理文化知识，拓展学生的视野, 激发他们的兴趣。在完成任务的过程中运用where…from和where…live引导的特殊疑问句, 综合运用目标语言, 询问并回答人们的国籍和住处。
Country City Step3.Listening comprehension(1b,2b&2c)
After practice, do a lot of listening exercises. Finish 1b on page 1 and 2b & 2c on page 2.在口头练习的基础上，在他们熟练掌握本课时句型以后再做这些听力应该是不难了，这样可以增加他们学习英语的信心。并且这些听力材料的设计也是层层递进，由易到难，充分考虑到了学生的层次，起到了很好的巩固作用。
