本课文章思路清晰。对于Reading部分的两篇文章，采取了分别处理，不过在处理方式上有所不同，对于第一篇关于Beijing的文章，由于文章结构和层次比较清楚，文章主要采取的是让学生找出每段大意，以及根据段落进行detailed reading，之后通过读课文的填词，对文章总体进行把握和巩固。而第二篇文章讲的是桂林，但是文章侧重于桂林山水的美景与奇特。在于欣赏与品读，通过listen and judge来对文章细节进行了解，同时，因此我更倾向于选择一些图片，让学生欣赏桂林的魅力之处。
此外，本文也注重一些细节上的理解，比如emperor，raising，watchtower,hang down, point upwards, stand in different shapes, 通过放在具体语境中，并采用图像结合，让学生更深刻地理解其含义。在理解课文过程中，最后通过一个competition，争当导游来进一步加强学生对本文的活学活用。鉴于本文容量较大，因此需要对时间有一个很好的把握。
文章对语法的处理也渗透到文章中，让学生先从文章找相似的含有it的句子，然后让学生对这几个It的含义进行分类。最后让学生参考课本，找出It的用法，并进行相关练习。使得学生更深入的理解It的用法。
