6. Practice ( 1c)
T: Today a new student named Tom comes to our school. He doesn’t know the school rules, please tell him the rules from 1a. Let’s work in pairs.
Move around the class while they are practicing and offer any help they need. Then ask several pairs to present their conversation to the class as following:

【教学反思】
1.本节课的主要内容是规则。教师让学生列举教室规则,学生讲出了很多的实用的规则。让学生主动提出各种规则,便于后期班规校规的实施。
2. 教师让学生分组讨论如何制定班规,巧妙地运用了合作学习法,不但培养了学生探究问题和自主解决问题的能力,而且也培养了学生的参政议政的意识。 同学们以主人翁的身份,提出了种种解决方法。
3. 老师因势利导,请他们回忆一下,以前有否做过违反班规校规的事情。其实是英语课与政治课的整合。在这么和谐,民主、激动的气氛中,同学们毫无顾忌,畅所欲言,纷纷讲述了自己以前的不文明表现。当老师问他们以后还会做这种事吗?他们很真心地回答“ No ”。自然恰当的德育渗透,起到一箭双雕的作用,使活动达到了高潮,并且顺势讨论规则的重要性,让学生明白没有绝对的自由。
总之,整个过程,教师不是在“教教材”,而是在“用教材教”。教师根据学生的实际情况和生活经验创造性地使用教材,从学生熟悉的知识入手,创建一个个与学生生活密切相关的问题情景,让学生带着问题思考,寻找解决问题的办法。真正体现了《新课标》的精神——“在发展语言能力的同时,发展思维能力,激发想象力和创造力。”
《新课标》说;活动不应该仅限于课堂教学,而要延伸到课堂之外的学习和生活之中。同学们回忆自己的不文明行为,作自我批评,是活动的高潮,是自我教育,提高环保意识的最有效手段。当时,教师应该趁热打铁,利用同学们的这份热情,让同学们利用课余时间,用英语采访同年级的别班同学,让同学们在同龄人面前很自然地回忆自己的不文明行为。然后,以此为依据,让本班同学用英语向全校同学发一份以“保护环境”为内容的倡议书。这不但会在全校兴起一股学英语的热潮,还会使环保意识深入人心。这是实实在在的任务型教学,体现了学中用,用中学的《新课标》精神。让学生在实现任务的同时,感受成功,以形成积极的学习态度,促进英语语言实际运用能力的提高。这才真正符合《新课标》的理念。
