Step11 Homework
(设计意图：作业兼顾了优良中差学生，分层布 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )置，分必做和选作，有巩固和预习，对于听力原文的处理，可让生课下反复听磁带，跟读且做到能英汉互译，进一步形成良好的英语语调和语感。对学有余力的同学，可进行用英语讲诉古老的神话故事。)
教学反思：
在本节课导入环节中，我采用Free t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )alk ,问：If you have too much pressure, what will you do Do you like listening or telling stories Have you ever heard these stories 句型引出话题，也自然引出本节课讲故事的目标语言，利用图片反复操练基本句型。听力任务的设计由简到难，凸显层次性，2a的听力再设计，改编成短文填空。听前进行听力指导，学会抓听关键词，学生能根据教师提供的情景，在教师指导下，顺利完成听力任务，为下一步进行语言的输出，打下基础。
本课亮点;
1.本课的导入。采用学生熟悉的古老 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )的神话故事图片引入话题，能让生产生共鸣，产生一种想说的愿望，让学生在轻松好奇的氛围中自然引入本节课的目标语言。
2.听后活动的设计凸显层次性，特 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )别是2c复述故事，有图片及提示语言，既巩固了本课所学的目标语言，又开拓了学生的思维，使学生的思维跳出了课本。
3.图文并茂，从多个方面进行知识的输入，充分调动学生的多种器官，参与学习。
不足之处：
听后活动中“Interview”环节中 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )，由于学生程度参差不齐,参与度不够广泛，在今后的教学过程中要多关注后进生和中间生，提高他们学习英语的兴趣和学好英语的信心。
使用建议：
1、听力训练中的任务设计较为详细、全面，教师可根据实际合理选择地使用。特别是“Interview”环节。
2、在翻译探究活动中要注意让学生观察句型结构，在语境中感知语法和语言规律，不能让“合作探究”变成无效的活动。
