八年级上册Unit 10 I’ve had this bike for three years. Reading :Hometown Feelings 教材分析
1.教材内容
本单元呈现了话题“讨论你的周围所有物” 和目标结构“现在完成时表示持续性动作或状态”用法。本单元的语法项目是初中阶段必须掌握的八种时态之一，既是重点之一，也是难点之一。
本单元Section A主要是围绕着“自己所有物”为话题，巧妙地练习了带有for和since的现在完成时态。使学生通过Section A学习，掌握表达日常生活用品，及对这些物品的感情。在Section A基础上，Section B 是进一步拓展到 “周围环境的变化”，使学生能够描述对周围事物的感情，准确表达恰当的感受，能掌握延续性动词的用法，并在具体情境中加以运用。能在写作中运用现在完成时合理地描述自己对身边事物的态度，培养学生关心周围事物与帮助他人的意识。两部分既有联系又有独立的话题，教材内容的合理安排有利于学生对知识的掌握和运用，也符合学生的认知规律，由浅入深，循序渐进。
2.教材处理
