Module7 My past life
Unit1 Iwas born in a small village教材分析
童年生活充满了很多美好的回忆，谈论小时候以及小学的事情是学生之间经常交流的话题，也是他们非常感兴趣的话题。本模块选择“过去生活”作为话题不仅仅是因为学生对此感兴趣，更重要的是介借此话题向学生介绍不同国家同龄人的童年生活，从而帮助学生开阔视野，了解不同国家的文化、教育以及生活等。
本单元主要介绍了有关“过去生活”的表达，文章内容适合七年级学生去学习和使用含有动词“be（waswere）”的一般过去时的句型。这是学生第一次接触英语中的过去时态，在教学中，教师应将重点放在培养学生对英语的语言认识上，让学生意识到英语在动词时态上与汉语之间存在很大不同，为学生掌握好英语的过去时打下良好基础。
本单元的任务是让学生和朋友一起谈论过去的生活。学生可以和朋友们共同回顾彼此的童年生活，这样的讨论一方面能帮助学生巩固刚刚学到的时态知识，让他们马上就能用到所学的内容，另一方面也能增进同学之间的相互了解，提高沟通交流的能力。
课后反思
本节课对学生听力及口语的训练到位，设计的环节比较多。由于教师对教学任务的精心设计，学生对活动一直保持高涨的热情。学生的课堂参与度、交往度和思维度都有较好的表现。教师在教学中也应用了“支架教学”的理念，在学生用语言来做事前在语言结构方面给学生做了足够的铺垫，因此学生在对比两座城市时基本没有语言上的障碍。教学取得了预期效果，不同层次的学生在语言知识、语言技能、感情态度、学习策略和文化意识上都学有所得。
尽管总体来说本节课的参与程度较高，但也存在小组成员发言机会不均匀的情况，小组活动时教师很难顾及到每个学生。再就是由于一部分学生的胆怯害羞心理，他们说话比较轻，以至于部分同学听不到或者听不清，从而造成课堂的暂时紊乱。
