Teaching Reflection【教学反思】
Advantages【亮点】本节课由国宝熊猫引出泰国的濒危动物大象，最后在情感教育中把学习的知识运用到生活中，教育学生要爱护并保护动物，既巩固了知识，又激发了学生保护动物的热情。在阅读环节中一段一段利用问题和表格来激发学生的阅读激情，在读后环节中划出短文中的所有介词，让生体会介词的使用语境。最后在找同学复述整个段落时，一段一段的由易到难，学生不会产生畏惧心理。
Disadvantages【不足】在核对答案的时候，学生说出或写完答案后，应让学生切实把自己出现的错误及时订正过来。应充分利用小组加分环节调动学生的学习积极性。
Teaching Advice【教学建议】本课内容设计环节较多，容量大，要做好课前预习工作，充分发挥学生的主观能动性。事先给学生分成若干个小组，便于课堂教学活动的开展。
