学情分析
本课时所教授的学生为八年级的学生，整体上基础不是很好，但大部分学生学习热情比较高，学习积极性尚可。由于部分学生对英语学习有一定的困难，尤其是语法和写作，向来是学生们学习的难点，因此在课的设计上注意有一定的梯度，即由简到繁，由易到难，层层递进，让绝大多数学生都能学有所获。如何使用过去进行时及使用when和while引导的时间状语从句是本单元的重点内容。学生七年级下册就学过现在进行时，掌握了如何使用现在进行时来描述日常活动，而且掌握了一些日常活动的短语，有利于他们学习过去进行时。由于本课时为本单元的最后一课时，学生在前面的学习中对本课时的语法项目和目标语言都有了一定的了解，本课时是在学生理解的基础上的运用。
为了降低难度，使用不同的教学组织模式，让学生能总结规律、抓住特征、模仿操练，在学习语法并的基础上进行写作的练习，这样学生能恰当使用过去进行时描述过去某个时间正在发生的事情，并能加强英语语感的培养。

效果分析
根据本课的内容和学生的认知规律，为了实现本节课的教学目标，我在教学设计时进行了有针对性的任务。通过视频、图片、声音、文本等形式教授了知识目标1和2中的语法项目和句式结构，本目标的达成度在90%以上。
对于写作目标的实现，通过前期的铺垫，一直以past event为主线，贯穿整堂课的始终，在练习对话、自主学习、合作探究、归纳总结、讨论的基础上再进行写作，大部分学生能够有话可说，能够准确地运用目标语言描述过去正在发生的事情，以及对这件事情印象深刻的原因。本节课以学生为主体，让学生自主地完成学习任务，使学生在积极、愉快的课堂气氛中提高自身写作能力，从而提高自己的认识水平，达到预期的教学效果。

课后反思
本节课为一节语法写作课，语法和写作，既是教学重点，也是教学难点，培养和提高学生的写作能力是写作课的主要目的。根据课标和学生学习语言的规律，即有输入才能有输出，这节课本着素质教育的理念，注重学生自主学习、合作学习，注重拓展学生的视野，以贴近生活的素材和话题为依托，培养学生的语言实际运用能力，尝试创设和谐、民主的课堂氛围，以past event为主线，贯穿整堂课，让学生对本节课有一个整体的认识。
课堂教学的每一步都离不开学习策略的指导。授人以鱼不如授人以渔，所以在教学中要充分进行适当的学习策略的指导。学生在进行语言输出时能够描述过去正在发生的事情，并解释原因，有效提高了学生的语言实践能力。
但是通过本节课的教学，我也深刻认识到自身的不足，在调动学生方面还存在不足，课堂机智不够完善。有的小组学生的合作意识淡薄，有的学生习惯当听众，很少甚至从不发言，今后应多关注学困生的学习，给他们创设一定的时间和空间，鼓励他们参与到活动中来，注重培养每一个学生发言的习惯和兴趣。
总之，在今后的语法写作课教学中，我需要不断学习，积极探索，把创新观念运用于教学中，提高课堂教学效率，注重对学生写作技巧和策略的指导，切实提高学生的阅读能力。
