教材分析
本节课围绕“动物园里的动物”为主题，要求学生通过学习能通过听、说、读、写的形式描述动物及表达自己的喜好。
学习用单词、短语描述各种动物的特征，熟练运用What、Why、Where引导的特殊疑问句询问和表达喜欢的动物是什么、为什么、地点在哪里。通过学习，能掌握表示动物的名词和描述动物特征的形容词，学会使用情态动词can、must、一般疑问句、否定疑问句和祈使句来表达动物的外貌特征、习性、面临的处境和正确的做法，学会用能自主的去搜寻关于珍稀动物的资料，提高学生关心动物和爱护自然的认识。
课后反思
本节课由潜入深，教师带领着学生一步一个脚印，渐渐进入任务，让学生非常自然的领会本课的知识点。通过图片导入1a的学习，借助图片为句子练习做准备;利用已有资源，培养学生的听大意和听细节方面。以漏词填空的形式，进一步检查学生对听力内容的理解和掌握。结合人类与动物世界的关系平衡的重要性;通过观察发现了解、讨论、自主学习，同时发挥小组学习的优势，培养学生发现问题，解决问题和合作学习的能力;充分利用现有资源，结合助学，对本节课所学内容进行检测，检查学生的学习效果，以利于及时的进行查缺补漏。
但是由于词汇过多，学生训练的频率不高，讲多练少；此外还要通过对学生进行情感教育，以此激发学生学习本课的兴趣。尽管学生的言语表达还不是十分完美，但是学生参与本节课的热情非常高。
