1、学习有关人物特点的单词：tall, thin, short, heavy, calm, wild, long hair, short hair.
2、学习人物比较的重要句型：
（1）Pedro is taller than Paul.
（2）Sam has longer hair than Tom.
3、掌握语法点：形容词的比较级
［学生分析］
1、利用多媒体课件上英语课，学生视听感受明显，表现出极大兴趣，在欣赏和享受中学习，学习效果很明显。
2、 描述人物特征在七年级已经学过，通过问答“What do they look like ”，复习旧知，学生能自然而然进入新课学习。
3、学生以前接触过形容词的比较级和最高级，如good-better-best, many-more-most, little-less-least，这为本节课学习奠定了很好的基础，理解起来更为容易。
［教学重点］
学生能够对人物外貌进行描绘，个性进行比较。
［教学难点］
形容词比较级的规则变化和不规则变化；
形容词比较级的用法。

［教学过程］
Step 1: Warming up
1.Greetings and brief introduction
2. Chant (Good , better , best)
Good, better, best,
Never let it rest,
Till good is better,
And better is best.
（课前热身，活跃气氛，轻松学习。）
Step 2: Lead-in
Show a photo of the twins, and learn the word “twins”. Then ask students to read a small article by Lucy and guess who Lucy is .
Hello, everyone . My name is Lucy and my sister’s name is Lily , Lily is older than me ,We are twins but I am different from Lily.
First ,I’m more outgoing than Lily. Second, Lily is more serious than me. By the way, I like smile. Can you guess who am I
Repeat the words “older”“more outgoing”“more serious”. Tell the students that this class we will study how to talk about personal traits and compare people.
(由双胞胎的图片引出关于人物性格特征的形容词及其比较级，导入本节课学习，为呈现新课做铺垫。)
Step 3: Revision
Revise the adjectives describing people’s appearance and personalities. Show some photos about famous persons, ask and answer “What do they look like ” to review the words “tall, short, thin, heavy, long hair, short hair”.
Then look at the pictures of Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang to learn the new words “wild”and “calm”.
（通过观看潘长江、刘翔等名人图片，找出图中人物不同点，复习已学过内容，自然延伸到新课学习，起到承上启下的作用。）
Step 4: Presentation
1. Using the pictures to learn the comparatives, like:
Yao Ming is taller than Jordan.
Zeng Zhiwei is sorter than Liu Huan.
Fei Mao is heavier than Liu Huan.
Sun Yanzi is thinner than Lin Xinru. etc.
2. Get Ss to have a summary and introduce the rules of the comparative degree of adjectives.
3. Give some more words, ask Ss to change them into the comparative degree.
smart; strong; quiet; funny;
small; big ; early; late
4. Compare your classmates with you using the comparative degree of adjectives we have studied this class. For example: I’m shorter than Ran Shilin. I’m funnier than him.
（通过对比强烈的图片学习形容词比较级，易于理解；及时总结规律，并紧接着练习加深印象；比较自己和同学，比较级的应用，口语锻炼，巩固所学，也让同学们认识到自己的优点。）
Step 5 The key vocabulary
Ask students to open their books and turn to Page 31 , Focus attention on Activity 1a , get students to read the words loudly and match each word with its opposite. For example, tall and short. Ask students to do this activity individually. Then check the answers.
(词汇练习，检查学生掌握情况。)
Step 6 Listening
Show the picture on the screen, and ask “How many people are there in the picture ” ( Nine ). Tell students that maybe they are having a concert and there are three pairs of twins in it. Get several students to read their names to the class. Then say “ Twins are children born at the same time to the same parents. Sometimes they look exactly alike, but not always. The twins in this picture do not look exactly alike.” Now let the students listen to three conversations about the people in the picture. Ask them to listen carefully and number the pairs of twins (1-3) in the picture.
Play the tape for the students and ask them to do this activity. The first time, only listen. The second time, listen and number. The third time, check the answers.
Show the listening materials, and ask students to read them loudly.
(语言实践，听力训练。通过本节的听力训练，让学生了解如何对双胞胎兄弟或姐妹的外貌特征及性格特点进行比较。再给出原文，大声朗读，加深印象。)
Step 7 Pairwork
First ask two students to read the sample conversation to the class. Then point to Pedro and say a new conversation with a student. Students work in pairs. As they talk, move around the room monitoring their work.
Ask a few pairs of students to say one or more of their conversations to the class.
（语言的学习就是为了交际，在这个环节，我课本图片放大，让学生根据图片内容进行对话，加强学生对人物描述的能力从而培养学生的交际能力，发展他们的思维能力。）
Step 8 Harvest and homework
Give Ss a chance to sum up what have learned in this class.(Ss can talk about it freely.) And then fill in the blanks of “My harvest”. At last the teacher makes a brief sum-up.
Tell them the homework.
Compare your brother / sister / friend…with you. Write five sentences at least.
( 让学生来做课堂小结，抓住了学生“敢于开口说英语”的心理，突出主动学习的重要性；教师作综合陈述，犹如给学生一颗定心丸，给学生增添了信心。设置作业，贴近生活，强化练习，进一步巩固本课所学内容。)
