Teaching refection
本课时是整个单元的第一课时，主要教学目标是通过本课的学习，让学生学会用英语进行简单的谈论天气。针对本课的教学目标，我分别确定了本课的教学重点、教学难点和教学关键。本课的教学重点是希望通过本课的学习，让学生学会并使用表示天气状态的形容词及现在分词：sunny, cloudy, windy, snowing, raining。本课的教学难点是让学生通过本课的学习学会并使用表示天气的句型：How's the weather It's sunny.和What's the weather like It's raining.教学关键是通过学习本课的单词和句型，让学生能够熟练的汇报各地方的天气情况。 根据本课的重难点和关键，我设立了五的教学步骤，在实施教学的过程中，有效果非常好的地方，也有没有处理的十分理想的地方。我对教材和学情事先进行了深入的分析，设计时根据新课程标准和培养学生核心素养的要求，较完整的完成了教学任务。本节课的教学内容贴近现实生活，学生有较浓的学习兴趣。本课新句型的难易适当，逐层深入，让学生非常快乐自然的掌握了语言并能在交际中综合运用。在课堂上，能让不同层次的学生参与到不同的活动，让每位学生都在课堂上找到自己的位置，以学生为主体。我在这节课的练习设计上我花费了大量的时间，设计了各种符合学生情趣的练习题。学生既感兴趣难度又适中，而且层次性较强，难度是一点一点加深的，大多数学生是完全能够跟的上的。首先，在单词的练习中，我采用的是上学期地理课上学生们学过的有关天气的标志，当屏幕上出现这些有趣的、形象的符号时，同学们的积极性一下子就提高上来了。其次，就是在我设计的表格练习题时，学生三人一组，通过问答，通过汇报，三个人就把不懂或者学习时的缺憾相护校政、弥补上了，小组的合作性学习的成果也就凸现出来了。学生们对于答案的准确性的提高，就决定了他们想表现自己的欲望，所以他们都争先恐后的向汇报自己小组的学习成果。最后可取的一点，就是对于《The Weather Report》的笔头练习。这既是生活中的场景，也是本课知识的升华。学生写英语作文有困难，成型的作文更是不可多得。本节课，我通过给出学生们一个优秀作文得开头和结尾，让他们把在口头联系中的简单的句子填进去，一个好的作文就出来了。这也时为学生打个一个很好的例子，以后只要遇到写天气的作文，就让他仿造这篇文章去写。学生们害怕的难题解决了，我的这节课的目的也就达到了。 总而言之，认真的研究教材，合理的拓宽教学内容，全面的培养学生的能力，是我对自己的基本的要求。只要功夫深，铁杵磨成针，教学需要的是持之一恒的尽头，这只是一个开始。
