Unit 8 Is there a post office near here?
Section A (1a-1c)
教学反思：
通过本单元本课时的学习，大部分学生已经掌握了there be 句型的基本用法以及如何用介词表示方位，可以说本节课的目标已经基本实现。本节课课堂氛围较活跃，学生能够快乐的学习讨论。但同时我自身还有一些不足之处需要改进。例如，本节课的内容相对较少，考虑到了大部分学生的接受程度，但还有极少数尖子生可能会感觉内容过少，今后还需改进。
Unit 8 Is there a post office near here?
Section A (1a-1c)
教材分析：
本单元的话题是The neighborhood，学生在学习完本单元后能够做到在街上问路并为他人指路。学生已经学过询问地点的表达方法Where is… ? 在此基础上，本单元又加入了There be 句型，在复习巩固的基础上又学习了新的知识，温故而知新。本单元section A 部分的1a首先通过主题图片展示了各种社区设施和街区环境，呈现了相关词汇如restaurant police station等，很自然地将学生引入问路的情景中。1b设计了三个简短的对话，让学生通过听来了解如何询问和描述各种地区设施的地理位置，同时呈现there be 句型。1c 则要求学生模仿对话中的there be句型和答语进行问答练习。
