Reflection 整堂课用两个大组进行比赛形式贯穿始终,有Polly says游戏和宾果游戏开头,朗读比赛在中,猜词比赛在后,课堂气氛热烈欢快。单词处理原则是低起点,小步伐,强记忆,快反馈,并得到的很好的效果。课文在听力练习中掌握文章大意,在朗读比赛中不仅练习发音还能因为多次朗读而充分了解文章内容,阅读后的判断正误和填空练习检验阅读理解程度,并能用老师提供的例句和句型表达表格内容,为后面自己表达输出英语做准备。最后用英语仿写介绍OK这个手势达到了预期目的。但有一点不足,就是在Presentation环节中,对单词的讲解还应更细致,体现单词记忆规律,还应让学生多接触例句,也可以把词汇和歌曲结合,寓教于乐。
