Unit5 It must belong to Carla
一、教材分析
本单元围绕“物品的归属”这一话题,让学生学会运用“must may can ”等词进行推测。这个话题是学生与他们生活实际联系,是他们很感兴趣的话题。所以每位学生都会愿意参与讨论。
Section A 以“推测谁是物品的主人以及作出推测的根据”这一话题来进行课堂教学和语言实践,为目标句型提供分步示例和指导性练习。(1a-1c)展示了重点词汇和目标语言,通过听说训练,让学生初步领会must表推测的含义和用法。(2a-grammar)在前面的基础上更明确了“must might could can ”等词的不同。同时附以练习,加以落实。(3-4)让学生通过阅读文章,推测词义的方式,让学生体会“学以致用”。
Section B 是在Section A的基础上,对话题的拓展和知识的延伸,使学生能够对已学过的目标句型运用自如。(1-2c)让学生发挥想象,运用推测的句型,讲述外星人追逐一个人的故事。(3a-4)阅读短文,谈论奇怪的幻想和噩梦,自如地运用推测的句型,寻求原因。
Self Check 使学生对自己的英语水平有明确的认识,其中的谚语使学生受益非浅。
