4.http:///english/课件教学设计思路
——What’s the weather like in spring
【总思路】
本课件以清新活泼的风格为主，通过音频，图片，游戏等环节为学生呈现了天气和气温的表达法,让学生通过轻松的语言环境掌握本课的重点和难点。
【教学目标】
掌握英语天气和气温的表达法。
学习构词法。
情感目标：谈论四季的天气及气温，引导学生更热爱生活。
【具体步骤】
此课件的最开始以一曲轻松惬意的Seasons in the sun带领学生走进本课的主题。第一张幻灯片，我根据课文标题的需要自己组合图案，起到引入的作用。第二张幻灯片呈现的是复习环节，以男女生竞赛的形式贯穿整堂课。我设计了两个倒计时，旨在让学生清楚地看到他们比赛的时间。倒计时的设计使得比赛的气氛更加激烈。
本课的一大重点是学习天气的表达法。所以我在第三张幻灯片时就直接把sunny一词拿来导入，我使用字体加粗且更改颜色以表强调，告诉学生我们今天要学习的重点——构词法。紧接着在第四张幻灯片中把描绘天气的词全部呈现出来，启发学生观察找出规律，旨在让学生学习新课前先解决单词问题。在呈现完单词后，我在第5张幻灯片中设计了一个游戏环节，通过猜图的形式再次巩固构词法。这是我的思路！
由于天气是生活中再普通不过的话题了，为了不落入俗套让学生在课堂中保持浓厚的兴趣，我大量引用了学生所熟悉的QQ天气，手机天气，电视天气预报等不同的形式再次巩固单词。在巩固单词的同时，我在第18张幻灯片时设计一个问号，引入课文第二大难点的学习——气温的表达法。从数字到摄氏度的表达，从单词到句子，从句子到对话，最后到文章，通过竞赛的环节，环环相扣，达到很好的操练效果。
引入课文2a部分后，由于前面的大量经过细化的操练，学生对课文的内容已基本掌握，这个时候训练听力的时候到了。从中文版的天气预报到英文版的weather report，学生容易接受，过渡自然，效果很好。当然，为了使学生更好的进入状态，我还特地下载了天气预报的背景音乐，音乐一响起来，学生的注意力马上集中起来，兴趣燃烧了起来，对于本课的难点也就再次得到突破了。
到第26张幻灯片就是本课的总结部分了（Sum up）。到这里可能时间已剩3分钟，学生难免开始注意力下降，这时，我用了一个较欢快的声音效果，起到提醒的作用。提醒学生们，总结的时候到了！再次让学生检验这堂课是否掌握。
最后便是作业的环节，没有特殊的加工，简洁明了地让学生知道今天的作业。
