(3)Why does Jenny like spring?

☆教材解读☆
1.The temperature can be as low as -15℃,but it can also reach 15℃.?
as…as…意为“和……一样……”,用于同级之间的比较。其基本结构为:as+形容词或者副词的原级+as。
I gave him as much as he could eat.
他能吃多少,我就给了他多少。
【拓展】　(1)as…as…的否定形式为“not as/so+形容词或者副词的原级+as…”,表示“不如……,比不上……”。
(2)as…as…结构中可以使用以下修饰词(组):just,exactly,not quite,half,twice等,并且这些修饰词(组)必须置于第一个as之前,而不能置于其后。
2.We probably won’t see any flowers until May or June!?
until意为“直到……为止”,引导时间状语从句。until用于肯定句时,主句的动作必须是延续性的,表示这一动作或状态一直延续到until所表示的时间为止;用于否定句时,主句的动作一般是非延续性动词,强调表示动作或者状态直到until所表示的时间才发生,构成not…until…结构,表示“直到……才……”。如果主句使用一般将来时态,则从句必须用一般现在时态表示将来。
The bus won’t start until everyone gets on.直到每个人都上车,公共汽车才会开动。
【拓展】　till 是连词,意思是“直到……之时;在……之前”,通常用来表示时间,相当于until,只是语气较弱。
They waited here till ten o’clock.
他们在这儿一直等到十点。
3.We had to wear our jackets and boots,but it was fun.?
had to是have to的过去式,意为“不得不”,后接动词原形。
We have to stay at home.
我们不得不待在家里。
　　【辨析】　have to,must
have to与 must均有“必须”的意思,但must强调人主观认为必须做某事,而have to强调客观情况迫使人不得不做某事;且must只用于一般现在时中,没有人称和数的变化,而have to可用于多种时态中,并且有人称和数的变化。
We must go to school on time.
我们必须按时上学。
She has to look after her baby at home.
她不得不在家照顾孩子。
4.Spring is a time to look forward to flowers and fresh food from the garden.?
look forward to意为“盼望;期待”,其中to 是介词,后接名词、代词或者动名词。
I’m looking forward to visiting the Great Wall.我盼望着去游览长城。
[设计意图]　学生通过阅读课文内容,了解重点内容,并且通过回答问题来巩固对课文的理解和掌握;学生反复朗读课文,完成填空练习,加深印象。
StepⅥ.Complete Let’s Do It!
Ask the students to read the letter and answer the questions in No.1 and fill in the blanks in No.2 by themselves.Then ask the students to finish No.3 in groups.
[设计意图]　Let’s Do It! 部分中的No.1重点是阅读训练教学,包括了课文的大部分内容,No.2训练文中出现的重点词语,No.3则是培养学生对整体课文的把握。
StepⅦ.Task
GROUP WORK:Let’s Do It! No.4
Ask students to come to the front of the classroom,and some start walking towards others as the teacher says “go”.They must stop as the teacher says “stop”.Then they can make up a new group and share what they do in spring.
[设计意图]　No.4的重点是口语练习。同学们通过随机组合来完成小组合作。以“谈论春天可以做的事”为话题,提供了一个语境完整、内容丰富的话题,自然呈现本单元的核心句型,为学生进一步输出语言提供了口语示范。
StepⅧ.Exercises
T:Now,look at the sentences with some missing words.Please use proper words to fill them.
1.The temperature is so l　　　 that we have to wear warm clothes.?
2.Children of four and b　　　 can go to the zoo for free.?
3.Water turns into ice at z　　　 degrees Celsius.?
4.I didn’t go to bed u　　　 my parents come back.?
5.It has so much f　　　 to make syrup.?
【Keys】　1.low　2.below　3.zero　4.until　5.fun
[设计意图]　以学评教、强化落实。当堂检测主要是由本节内容组成的形成性评价,利用已知的信息,让学生补充,让他们得到充分的训练。
StepⅨ.Homework
1.Practice the letter with your group members after class.
2.Copy the new words twice.
[设计意图]　口头练习和单词记忆相结合,复习、归纳,注重语言知识的操练与积累。
