教学反思：
Unit 12 What did you do last weekend?
教材分析:
本单元的语言训练重点是互相询问如何度过周末，并对已过上一周的周末进行评论。Section A 主要是听读说和基础语言运用，为目标句型提供分步示例和指导性练习；Section B知识扩展；新旧知识的运用；循序渐进的写作练习；运用所学的语言完成各种任务使学生能够对已经学过的目标句型运用自如；Self Check自我评价，词汇知识的评价，语言应用能力的评价.
教学目标:
１.认知目标:
·能熟知课文主要内容，掌握相应的语言知识
（单词、习惯用语、语法和功能用语）。
·能结合所给任务，综合运用新、旧知识完成任务。
2.技能目标
·能培养良好的听、说、读、写的能力，能正确使用动词过去式进行准确的描述。
·通过观察、想象、模仿和表演等熟练、生动、有创造性地从图片或文字材料中获取有效信息，拓宽视野，围绕“上一周周末活动”进行交际。
·能在日常生活中恰当理解这单元话题范围内的单词和习惯用语，在真实的语言环境中体会语言，运用语言，感受语言的真实价值，品味语言的实际意义，从而获得运用语言的实际能力，运用所学知识进行创造性地发挥应用和积极主动地用英语进行交流。
3.情感目标
·合理安排自己周末的学习、运动、休息、娱乐等活动形式，过有益义的周末。保持愉快的心情，以积极的姿态，精神饱满地面对生活与学习。
·保护和引导学生对英语的好奇与探求心理。克服学习过程中的畏难情绪，勇于追求对学习的自我完善和自我奖赏。
·激发成就感，强化竞争意识。
·献爱心，见行动。加入the Heartwarming Project，服务社会，关注社会。树立正确的人生观和价值观。
教学策略
·巧引妙导，挖掘教学内容和教学方法的新颖性和艺术性，激发学生学习英语的兴趣。
·采用互动的课堂模式，提倡开放式教学。
·倡导“任务型”教学途径，让学生“做中学”或“用语言做事”。“学”是前提，“做”是目的；“学”是为了“做”，“做”又促进“学”，两者缺一不可。
·面向全体，因人因材施教。
·建构民主氛围，营造宽松和谐的课堂教学气氛，合理利用评价方式，捕捉学生亮点。
·正视个体差异，倡导过程激励，以多层次、多角度、多主体的结果与过程并重的评价方式激励进步。
学习策略
·树立正确的“以人为本”的学习观，倡导自主学习、合作学习与探究式学习，发展主体性，培养独立学习意识，养成良好的学习习惯。
·明确“熟能生巧”的原理，积极参与课堂活动。在学习活动中讨论weekend activities或参加课堂上的才艺表演（Talent show），创设语境，猜测周末活动，乐于探究，勤于动脑动口。
课后访谈调查，读写摘记，重视语言运用。
·掌握科学的学习方法，通过不同的活动形式（小组活动、配对活动、班级活动等）共享资源，互助学习,在合作中取长补短。
文化意识:
Self check阅读部分中讲到old Henry因失去his cute dog而悲伤不己，写到He has no dog and no family。借此向学生渗透在西方，狗备受宠爱和青睐的文化。有关狗的词汇不像在汉语中，如：“狐朋狗友”“看家狗”“痛打落水狗”等都含有贬义。拓展一些词汇，如：lucky dog（幸运的人），big dog(大亨)，clever dog聪明的小孩，伶俐的小孩子）。Every dog has his day（人人皆有得意时）。
教学重点和难点:
单词：beach, pool, visit, stay, cute, test, cook, spend, mountain, practice以及不规则变化行为动词is, do, go, have, read, see, write，sit的过去式形式was, did, went, had, read, saw, wrote, sat
短语：go to(a place),go shopping, go for a walk with……,visit (a person)，watch sb do sth，It is time to do sth，read a book about(history),see an interesting talk show，study for the(math)test。
语音：掌握动词过去式规则变化中动词词尾所加的-ed的三种不同的读音规则 (| t | | d | | id | ) 。
语法：掌握一般过去时表示过去发生的动作或存在的状态。通常由动词过去式表示，与表示过去的时间状语连用。
日常交际用语:
⑴ What did you /your friend/he/she/they do last weekend?
(2) How was your weekend?
(3) It was great!/It was OK./It wasn’t very good.
（单词的词义/词的搭配和它们在一般过去时中的用法是难点）
