整体 设计思路 本单元的主题为人与自我——生活与学习，涉及的具体话题是交 通方式。选择合适的交通方式是贯穿整个单元的核心问题，如何解决 问题，使学生的日常生活或假期出行更便捷，是本单元设计的着眼点。学生对交通出行的话题比较熟悉，有一定的生活经验和知识积累，便于设计真实情境和开展真实任务。 本单元情境从学生生活出发，U1讨论上学时交通方式的选择；U2过渡到选择国外旅游的交通方式；U3引导学生在情境中分析总结 如何运用形容词、副词的比较级和最高级，在学习和运用语言的过程 中，逐渐培养学生发现问题和解决问题的能力。在开展单元整体教学的过程中，本设计借鉴了问题解决的IDEAL五阶段原则(Identify, Define, Explore, Anticipate, Lookback),从U1对话中感知问题，从U2论坛回答中逐阶段分析问题，从U3语言知识运用中解决实际问题。过程中兼具了语言能力、文化意识的培养，在问题解决过程中不断反思，达到思维品质和学习能力的提升。 本单元由三课时组成，内容如下: 本单元的第二课时，语篇是论坛发帖和回复。网友Mike要从伦敦去阿姆斯特丹，在网上发帖咨询最佳交通方式及需要花费的时长，特别提到想了解乘火车和乘船的情况。“最佳回答”的作者从自己的经验出发，提供了四种交通方案，分别是火车、汽车加轮船、大巴和飞机，作者将每一种方案在时间、花费和舒适度三个维度上分析了其特点，并有针对性地提出了自己的建议，最后表达了对提问者旅途的美好祝愿。
教学目标 本课结束后，学生能够： 1. 通过预测和阅读，获取回帖者提供的从英国到阿姆斯特丹旅游的四种交通方案及其优缺点； 2. 通过比较和分析，归纳概括出选择最佳交通方案时应考虑的要素（如时间、费用、舒适度等）； 3. 基于Mike—家的出行需求，为他们设计最佳的出行方案；站在不同的角度思考解决问题的方式和方法，通过平衡不同的需求做出合理的选择。
教学重难点 教学重点： 通过预测和阅读，获取回帖者提供的从英国到阿姆斯特丹旅游的四种交通方案及其优缺点。 教学难点： 归纳概括出选择最佳交通方案时应考虑的要素，为Mike一家设计最佳的出行方案。
