Step 2 Reading 1. Read fast and answer: How was Lisa’s weekend Ask ss “What are we talking about ” Guide ss to get the main idea by reading the title and get them to look at the picture to guess something. Then ask ss to read the passage quickly and answer: How was Lisa’s weekend 设计意图:通过略读的方式,让学生掌握文本的大意和线索,并通过看图片对要读的文章产生预期。 2. Students read Para 2 and Underline the topic sentence and list the things Lisa’s family did during the camping. Ask ss “Which is the topic sentence ” to guide ss to get what they did. Then ask “What are they doing Where did they go ” to check the answer, show the map of India, asks “Where is India” . Then ask “What did they do there ” to let them know these activities about camping. Ask “What does camping mean in Chines ” to check if they can guess the word by the these sentences. At las ask “ What do you think of their first day Why ” 设计意图:通过寻找主题句及列举活动,帮助孩子运用怎样利用上下文理解文本中的生词,帮助学探究文章结构和上下文之间的逻辑关系,最后询问他们对第一天的感受及原因,呼应文章主题句。 3. Students read Para 2 and answer the questions. 1. What was the surprise 2. What did Lisa and her sister do 3. What did their parents do 4. What did they learn Ask students to check the questions and lead ss to think over step by step. Eg: Was it a good or a bad surprise When Lisa and her sister shouted, did the snake move When her dad jumped up and down, did the snake move What do you think of their second day Why 设计意图:通过引导学生回答这些问题,并让学生把主要的两个动作shout和jump up and down表演出来,让学生明白按照事件发展的顺序叙述一个故事,通过每个问题之后的深入提问,引发学生的深入思考,探究出蛇没有耳朵但能感知物体的移动,以及远离蛇的结论。最后问学生对第二天的感受,呼应文章主题。4.

Step 3 Retelling& Summary First students retell the passage with the teacher and then retell in pairs. 设计意图:首先通过师问生答,然后生问生答的方式,既用文本的结构串起文本的内容,又问下文输出活动中的调查进行了形式上的示范。
Step 4 Group-work A Weekend to Remember 1. Make a survey about their weekend to remember in groups using the questions on the blackboard. 2. Choose the most interesting or special one to make a report together. 设计意图:要求学生运用本文所学的结构先在小组内就已过去的周末进行调查,然后选出最有趣或最特别的一个周末群组一起进行汇报,既运用了文本的结构,又在内容上有所创新。
Step 5 Homework You should do: Write a passage about your weekend to remember. If you can: Try to find out how students spend their weekends in different countries. 设计意图:作业分为必做和选做,照顾不同层面的学生。必做作业是把课上的口头汇报完善写下来,巩固本课所学,选做查找不同国家的学生如何度过周末,延伸了课内所学。
