教学效果
通过本节课的教学，我觉得比较好的有以下两点：
一、关注了学生的认知起点，温故知新。
在教学中让学生把学过的旧材料换用另一种新的方式进行语言操练活动，达到以新带旧，以旧促新的教学目的。通过热身活动组织教学，把学生的注意力和兴趣吸引到本课教学活动中。另外，通过师生的问答，复习巩固本单元目标语言。
二、关注了学生的学习过程，把发现问题的权利教给学生，提高学生的综合能力，

[教学反思]：
本节课作为一节阅读课，老师设计合理的教学活动，让学生参与其中，顺利地，轻松地学习。改变由老师单纯传授知识，避免了死记硬背。在阅读活动中，老师注重了读前预测阅读内容训练，同时能够注重自主学习和合作学习相结合，充分发挥学生的学习能动性。学生通过课堂的学习，可以在课下运用所学知识与他人交流，就达到了任务型教学的目的。但是家庭作业的设置缺乏分层要求。

在欧美一些国家，这一天，人们以多种方式开周围的人的玩笑，上当者当被告知是愚人节时，才恍然大悟，所以这一天总是能够引出许多笑话，不过某些玩笑也会因开得过大而引起人们的恐慌，或改变形势衍生成为谣言。但是，玩笑最晚只能开到中午12点，这是约定俗成的严格规矩。2b Read the passage quickly. Match each paragraph with the main idea.Paragraph 1

【教材分析】
本课是一节阅读课，是本单元的重点。首先通过2a读前活动，引导学生了解愚人节。为理解2b的阅读内容做准备。2b是读中活动，第一个问题检测文章的主旨大意；第二个问题涉及文章的具体细节。了解不及时做某事而造成的危害，培养学生养成良好的行为习惯。2c活动为读后任务，但训练的侧重点有读过渡到写。本课是本单元的第四课时，在整个单元中起着话题的拓展和提升的作用，丰富了语言的输入。因此课堂任务应侧重培养学生的阅读理解能力和以读的形式获取信息的能力为下节课写作做准备.
