At 6 p.m., Tina and Tom reached the forest. They heard some voices speaking a strange language, so they hid behind some bushes and kept quiet. Then they saw an alien! It was tall, with a round head and a silver body. It was standing next to a long spaceship. The spaceship was damaged because of a crash.
The children were frightened. Suddenly, another alien appeared from the bushes in front of them. It discovered them and made a terrible noise! The children ran away in fear.
The next morning, Tina and Tom told their parents about the strange creatures. “They were very ugly. They had some hair, but they didn’t have any feathers,” said Tina.
“There was something written on the spaceship,” said Tom. “It looked like this. I wonder what it means.” He drew some lines on a piece of paper.
But Dad said, “Since no one else saw these aliens, I refuse to believe you. Now go to school!”
The children spread their wings and flew to school together.
Dad looked at the piece of paper with the strange marks on it. “It looks strange,” he said, as he looked at the word “EARTH”.

学情分析
（一）自然情况 本单元围绕“未知的世界”这一话题，开展教学活动，学习《外星人到来》、《不明飞行物》、《科幻小说》等未知世界的故事。符合Module 4 Discovery这个话题的内容探究，以及八年级学生对知识的汲取需求。 （二）已有基础 (1)学生对“未知的世界”的话题比较熟悉，对外星人的故事着浓厚的兴趣，并愿意分享。 (2)学生已经基本掌握了课内词汇并能理解because,as,since引导的原因状语从句和用because of陈述理由。约有70%的学生可以准确表达含有because,as,since和because of的句子。 （三）存在问题
《外星人到来》属于The unknown world这个话题，涉及的知识面非常广，学生虽然在小学和七年级上册涉猎了一些，但是比较浅显，涉及的知识面也不够广泛。本单元的教学内容应该站在一个更高更宽广的角度去理解。 （四）解决措施 1.鼓励学生在课堂上积极踊跃发言，尊重每个学生的想法，并给予客观公正的评价，而不是期待唯一的标准答案。 2. 培养学生思考如何描述外星人和地球人相遇时的有趣故事。 3. 在教学过程中，以学生为中心。创设让学生合作交流的学习情境，一起探讨、讨论，共同完成学习任务。并鼓励学生将所学内容与家长进行分享。 4. 教学方式灵活多样，根据学生随堂掌握情况，及时做出调整和改进。 5. 从多角度多维度对学生进行多方位评价。
