Unit 7 It's raining !
Section A（1a~2c）教学设计
【教材内容分析】
本课的内容是人教版七年级下册Unit 7 I’t raining！的第一课时SectionA（1a~2c）。教材采用任务型教学模式，贯彻以人为本的教育思想，培养学生的创新精神和实践能力。本部分作为本单元的第一课，起到承上启下的作用，即可让知识具有延续性，作为后面知识的载体，又可为后面的学习内容扫清语言和文化障碍，为进一步及教学提供话题和语境，为后面的教学做好铺垫。
本科的主要学习任务是让学生在复习并灵活运用上一单元的现在进行时的基础上，学会和掌握表示天气的一些词汇，同时还要学习和掌握询问天气状况的句型“What’s the weather like today?”“It’s raining/snowing.”等等。另外，本科还涉及Moscow，Boston等城市的英文名称。谈论天气是英国人见面时的普通话题。因此，本课的学习在英语学习中占有非常重要的地位,不仅让学生学会了如何询问天气状况和描述天气状态，而且让学生了解了中西方的文化差异，让他们提高对中外文化异同的敏感性，而且提高跨国际文化交际能力。
