Unit 4 Why don't you talk to your parents
第四课时 (Section B 2a-2c)
一．教材分析
1. 本节教学内容源自人教版八年级下册第四单元，本节是一节阅读课，内容较长，生词也较多，讲授本篇课文时，通过引导学生对文章个别生词的猜测，激发他们的求知欲和好奇心，并根据学生的已有知识水平，以思维导图形式设计了不同层次的阅读活动，从而启发学生的思维，明晰了文章脉络。
2. 本节课是一节说明文，以“learn to relax”为话题，通过中美的共性问题为切入点，阐述了孩子们的压力之大，又以两个不同美国母亲对是否参加课外补习班的不同意见以及科学家的观点来批判太多的压力会抑制孩子发展，最后指出快乐孩子要比成功孩子重要。
二．学情分析
1. 本节课授课对象时八年级学生，英语基础虽差，但是通过几年的英语学习有一定的基础，他们学习兴趣浓，愿意和老师共同学习。
2. 学生都是农村学生，多数孩子并没有像城市孩子那样有太多的补习班，所以应特别指出城市孩子生活的繁忙。
