Unit7 It's raining! Section A(1a-2c)教学设计
仁寿县龙正镇初级中学校 陈文立
一．教学主题
本单元的中心话题是 Describe the weather 。这节课是一节听说新授课。运用How ’ s the weather ？或 What’s the weather like ？及描述天气的词来谈论不同城市的天气状况；由于讨论天气这一话题与我们的日常生活相关，所以有助于提高学生的学习兴趣，提高学生的英语口语能力，此外，对于他们理解现在进行时也是一个极大的帮助。
二．教学内容分析
本单元增设了一个日常生活中重要的情景Talking about the weather 。通过本单元的学习，使学生掌握描述天气的基本词汇及对天气的提问，学会准确地表达自己对某种天气的喜好并说明原因，能够识别一些基本的天气符号并且学会做天气预报，还要学会叙述在不同的天气背景下做什么。 Section A 主要是听读说和基础语言运用，为目标句型提供分步示例和指导性练习。 Section B 知识拓展，新旧知识的运用，循序渐进的练习所学的语言，完成各种任务，使学生能够对已经学过的目标句型运用自如。
三．教学对象及特点
刚刚步入初中的学生，其英语基础知识和听说能力普遍较差。大部分学生虽说在小学阶段学过英语，但其应用能力十分薄弱，所以一定要做好中小学的衔接工作。同时，七年级学生表现欲强，好奇心强，对英语学习兴趣很高，尤其是对新话题，他们更乐意去学习，更乐于接受“玩中学，学中玩”;本班的学生有比较明确的学习目的，能够在小组活动中互相帮助，积极与他人合作，敢于用英语进行表达。本课时谈论天气，话题内容贴近学生、贴近生活，学生们较为熟悉。加之，之前通过 Unit6的学习，已经对现在进行时有了初步的了解，所以本节课对他们来说难度不高，教师应该尽量创设情景，拓展思路，必要时帮助学生用英语进行准确表达。
