运用白板拖放、幕布、flash小插件的多种功能辅助教学。
【设计意图】：以序数词在十二生肖中的用法过渡到与二月份相关的节日等内容，十二生肖属于中国传统文化一部分，通过练习渗透学生文化知识，通过公历年第一天是新年，农历年第一天是春节，既能帮助学生记忆节日的具体时间，也能使学生了解公历、农历的差异，进而体会中西节日文化的不同，此外要求学生以小组合作的方式仿照一月份制作二月份思维导图，在学习新知的同时培养学生利用思维导图拓展话题的能力，提高逻辑思维能力。本课教学尝试利用思维导图教学方法进行教学，以期学生学会将已学知识与谈论话题相结合，这也符合新课标提出的语言的学习应该具有连贯性，同时要培养学生结合实际情境学习语言运用语言的能力。

八、布置作业
Homework supermarket(作业超市根据英语学不同程度选择适合自己的作业)

Lesson20
January is the first month of the year.
February is the second month of the year.
十 、评价方式：学生回答问题后奖励与一月二月相关的活动图片和单词，提供一些提示性图片和单词便于学生在最后小组活动时能更好地制作思维导图时，同时激发学生主动参与课堂活动的积极性。
