2、教材的地位及其作用
本单元的教学主要内容是：学习“问路指路”的常用表达方式 ，该话题与学生的日常生活紧密联系在一起，容易唤起学生的学习兴趣，这对于提高学生的综合能力很有帮助，特别是说的能力。
本单元仍在继续学习一般现在时，这是一个生活中离不开的时态，也是最基本的一个时态。新课程标准要求学生重点掌握一般现在时，这在英语中使用频率很高，学好这一时态的用法对以后其他时态的学习和交际有很大的帮助。
二、学生分析
学生现有的能力与已掌握的知识：
学生在上学期已经学过词汇：big, small, old, new,
句型： Where is…? It’s in / on / under/…
指路问路对地点特征描述都可以用到上述的词汇和句型。经过上半学期的学习学生已经积累了一定的词汇，掌握了一定的目标语，已经具备了一定的听说读写能力。
教学目标
1、语言知识
词汇：A、重点掌握表示建筑物种类的名词, 如post office, hotel, bank, supermarket, street, pay phone, avenue,
B、掌握如下描绘性形容词及方位副词，如clean, quiet, dirty, busy, right, left, down, along,
C、方位介词,如next to, across from, in front of, near, between, behind
D、短语，如 turn right, turn left, go down, go straight on, walk along, go along,

2、 语言技能
1）、能看着图片说话出建筑物的名称；
2）、能运用一般现在时询问街道上某一场所的位置；
3）、能够运用所学语言为他人指明 某一场所的路线；
4）、能够描述某一场所各建筑物之间的位置关系；
5）、能够利用地图向他人介绍自己所居住的社区；
3、学习策略
1）、利用老师所提供的图片做出简单的判断，学习相关方位介词以及描绘性形容词。
2）、通过与同学交流，学会使用问路指路，对地点特征做出简单描述的句型。
4、情感态度
1）通过各小组的对话练习培养学生的合作精神；
2）通过学习本单元，教会学生礼貌待人，建立和睦的邻里关系；
重点难点
1、want的一般现在时的用法;
2、want的一般现在时的疑问句，及其肯定，否定回答;
3、第三人称后动词的变化
五、教学手段
1、导入课堂教学时用VCD或投影仪来吸引学生的课堂注意力，使学生在VCD的电影片段中学习电影类型的单词，并对本单元的内容有了初步的意识。
2、多方位使用VCD画面和电脑多媒体的动态效果帮助学生学习归纳不同类型的电影的特征，以及对电影的简单谈论。
3、利用学生对自己的喜好的表述进行一般现在时的教学，以及不同人称时动词的变化。
六、理念与思路
1、教法
1）采用多媒体进行直观教学，在不同类型的电影片段的展示中进行名词与形容词 的教学。
2）通过问卷调查，让学生在采访的过程中练习本单元的主要句型。
3）让学生在转述的过程中学习第三人称下动词的变化，以及连词的用法。
4）学生在课堂教学过程中口头训练应成为本单元教学的重要内容。
5）新知识的练习在本单元的学习最终以笔头练习加以巩固。
2、学法指导在已经学过的like句型表示喜好的情况下，学习want的一般现在时，仍要注意两个问题。一是动词第三人称单数的问题，二是行为动词疑问句和否定句中助动词的使用。
电影是学生很熟悉的话题之一，学生在平时的生活中应加以注意，看看电影广告的写法。同时，多看有意义的影片，增强自己的对不同文化的了解并适当地做出评论。
七、教学流程 （分五大块）
1、对不同电影类型的认识（单词的学习）
2、个人的喜好（句型的练习）
3、不同电影的特征（形容词的学习与电影的简单描述以及个人的理由）4、对自己喜爱的一部影片进行简单的介绍并为其制作广告 5、制定个人周末计划

展示：利用多媒体呈现不同类型的影片片段，先让学生说出这些影片的名字，在归纳这些影片分别属于哪种类型的电影，逐个呈现新单词的中英文形式（学习新单词）
3、听录音：放一段录音（旁白，对白，音乐），让学生判断该影片的类别（反复练习和巩固新单词）
4、练习对话：Do you want to go to a movie?
Yes, I do. I want to go to …5、课本中的听力练习
第二块的教学步骤：
1、教师介绍自己对电影类型的喜好（呈现出在这一课时中主要学习的句型what kind of movies do you like? I like …）
2、教师与个别学生的对话（进一步加强该句型对学生的耳濡目染，即输入）
3、问卷调查：以小组的形式表述个人的喜好和询问他人的喜好（句型的练习）4、报告调查结果：
1）、不同类型影片和京剧的总体喜爱情况（名词复数的变化和应用）2）、具体个别学生对影片的喜爱情况（第三人称单数动词的变化和应用）
1、呈现第一部分中的影片片段，在此基础上增加影片的数量，让学生归纳出不同类别影片的特点（学习本单元中的重要的形容词）,然后指出其中用于描绘的形容词
2、分组（喜爱同一类型影片的学生为一小组）讨论，归纳出喜欢该类型影片的理由并以小组为单位给出所有的理由（in English briefly）（为下一步做铺垫）
3、阅读理解（2C与3A），教师设置问题，学生通过回答问题，理解两篇短文，并划出短文中的形容词（做铺垫）学生模仿2C的格式，写自己的情况，尽可能使用学过的和课本中的短文里头的形容词
第四块的教学步骤：
1、教师呈现并简单介绍自己喜欢的一部影片，包括影片的名称、类型、主要演员以及喜欢的理由（给下一步学生介绍自己喜欢的一部影片提供模式）
2、教师与个别学生对话，通过问答的形式，提示学生在介绍时应该涉及的内容（做铺垫）
3、教师将问题呈现在黑板上，学生根据自己的实际情况回答问题，最后将自己的回答组成短文的形式（让学生更清楚该怎么做，降低难度）4、学生精简自己的短文，将其短文变成广告的形式，注意文中的形容词的运用（尝试，初步了解，为下一步做铺垫）
5、小组制作出一张该组最喜爱的一部影片的广告,然后将其展示
1、教师将本单元前几课时中呈现的影片进行回放，让学生欣赏（同时复习所学过的名词和形容词）
2、教师引出本单元开始的主要句型：Since all of you like movies and different students like different kinds of movies, if you were free, do you want to go to a movie? What kind of movie do you want to go to? And when?
3、教师引导学生制定出自己近期的计划---Go to a movie(包含有时间，地点，电影名称，主要演员)
小结设计
1、以多媒体展示的方式：A、再现关于电影类型的名词； B、复习关于不同类型影片的特点的形容词
2、通过图片上人物的动作来复习主要句型I/ She/ He like/ likes …, and I/she/he like/ likes…与I/She/ He like/ likes…, but I don’t/doesn‘t like …，以及连词的用法
3、利用学生制作的广告来复习电影广告中的主要要素
八、评价
形成性评价与终结性评价相结合：
形成性评价：1、学生的课堂回答
2、问卷的调查统计和汇报
3、学生写的小短文和广告

1. Listen and read the conversation:
2. Read the conversation again and answer some questions:
3. Role play the conversation:
4. Language points:
1. across from 意为“在……对面”
The bank is across from our school.
【拓展】 across 作介词，意为“从一边到另一边；横过”。
Can you swim across the river?
2. in front of 意为“在……前面”（在某范围之外）
There is a car in front of the house.
【辨析】in the front of “在……前面”（在某范围之内）
There is a table in the front of the classroom.
3. next to 意为“紧靠着；紧挨着；贴近”
The little boy is next to his mother.
【辨析】next to与near的区别
从空间讲near 只表示“在……附近”；而next to有“紧挨着”之意；next to比near靠的更近。
Peter sits next to Mike. 彼特紧挨着迈克坐。
Peter sits near Tom. 彼特坐在汤姆附近。
4. How can I help you? 需要我帮忙吗？
表示向他人伸出援手，主动提出帮助的意思，此句还可说成：How can I help you?或How may I help you?
类似的句子还有：
May I help you?
Do you need any help?
Is there anything I can help (you) with?
What can I do for you?
5. I’m new in town. 我新来此地。
town 表示 所居住的地方或城市里的闹市区; 城里, 为不可数名词。
Is there a good place to eat here? I’m from out of town.
6. Is there a bank around here?这附近有银行吗？Yes, there is.是的，有。
There be ...句型表示的是 “某处有(存在)某人或某物”，其结构为There be (is, are, was, were)+名词+地点状语。例如：
There are fifty-two students in our class.
There is a pencil in my pencil-case.
There be句型否定句式的构成和含有be动词的其它句型一样，在be后加上“not”。也可用“no”来表示。即：
no + n.（名词）= not aanany + n.（名词）
There is an orange in her bag.
→There isn’t an orange in her bag.
→There is no orange in her bag.
There be结构的一般疑问句变化只需把be动词移到句首，再在句尾加上问号即可。例如： There is some money in her handbag. → Is there any money in her handbag?
(疑问句和否定句中，some改为any, something改为anything.)
There is something new in today’s newspaper.
→There isn’t anything new in today’s newspaper.
→Is there anything new in today’s newspaper?

12. 他们在邮局与图书馆对面。 _____________________________
2) Teach “there be” structure and do some exercises:
1、基本概念：There be 句型常用来表示客观存在，意思是“某地/某时有某物/某人 ”
There be（is/are）＋某物/某人＋某地/某时。
There is a pencil on the desk.
There are two pens in the pencil case.
3.There be 句型中is, are的选择
is，are的选择取决于“某物/某人”的单复数。 即单数可数名词或不可数名词时用is,复数可数名词时用are.
B.某物/人有多个时，谓语动词be要和最靠近它的那个名词的数保持一致，即就近原则。
There is a pen, a pencil-box and some books on the desk.
There are some books, a pen and a pencil-box on the desk.
4.否定句句型结构：
A. There be（is/are）＋not＋某物/某人＋某地/某时。
注意：原句中如有some一词，也应改为any.
There is a bird in the tree．树上有一只鸟。
-----There isn't a bird in the tree．树上没有鸟。
There are some desks in the room．
-----There aren’t any desks in the room．
B.另一种否定结构是在be后no
There is no + 单数可数名词/不可数名词
There is no book in my bag.
----There isn’t a book in my bag.
There is no water in the cup.
----There isn’t any water in the cup.
There are no + 复数可数名词
There are no pictures on the wall.
----There aren’t any pictures on the wall.
5.一般疑问句句型结构：
Be（Is/Are）there＋某物/某人＋某地/某时？
There are some birds in the picture.
Are there any birds in the picture?
对疑问句的回答：
如果是肯定的， 答:Yes, there is.
或:Yes, there are．
如果是否定的， 答: No, there isn’t.
或: No, there aren't．
6.There be 句型的特殊疑问句主要有how many, how much做引导词两种情况：
How many 提问可数名词的数量
There are 48 students in my class.
How many students are there in your class?
How much 提问不可数名词的数量
There is ￥ 100 yuan in my bag.
How much money is there in your bag?
7.There be 句型与have的区别
There be句型表示 “存在有”, havehas表示 “拥有”、 “所有”, 两者不能同时使用。例如:
桌子上有一架模型飞机。 _____ __ a model plane on the desk.
我有一架模型飞机。_ _____ a model plane.
