The themes of this part are “Talk about how to become an astronaut” and “Talk about life in space”. As Neil Armstrong said “Mystery creates wonder and wonder is the basis of man’s desire to understand. Space is difficult for human to reach, therefore, humans are full of wonders about it. However, if wanting to achieve the dream of reaching the Moon, some of our human should work hard to be an astronaut at first. Part A(Talk about how to become an astronaut) is a radio interview in a radio studio, where the host asked the Chinese astronauts about his story how to become an astronaut. Yang Liwei told his dreamed to be an astronaut since childhood. Then he worked hard to get into college at 22. The next 10 years, he gradually became an experienced pilot. At the same time, to be an astronaut, he had to study hard English, science and astronomy and trained hard to keep in good physical and mental health and to practise using space equipment. Part B (Talk about life in space) is also an interview with the astronaut Brown, who is back on the earth. The host Max asked about his space life, such as his emotion about going back the earth, the eating, shower, brushing, hobbies and his work. Part A and Part B are interviews.

Everybody wants to get wealth.In today’s material world,making money or becoming wealthy symbolizes a person’s success and capability. Many people just make every effort, pay any price to attain greater wealth. With money,they can buy nice, large apartments in nice neighborhood. With money they can own luxurious cars. Wealth seems to bring all happiness in life.But is wealth the only road to happiness? Not really. There are many things in the world, which are beyond the means of money, such as friendship, love, health and knowledge. People are so preoccupied with struggling for money that they have no time or would not take the time to form or maintain friendship. What happiness can they feel living as lonely miserable creatures without love or friends in the world even if they accumulate tremendous wealth?In my opinion, people can’t do anything without money, but money is not everything. What money will bring you depends on your personal belief and goal in life. If you are kind enough to help others, especially the poor, money is a good thing to you. With it, you can do much more for the benefit of people and your country, and it will add to your own happiness. If you want money just for your own needs, you’ll never be satisfied or happy. In a word,you should have money spent for more people. Only then can money be the source of your happiness.Step 8 Homework4 students in a group, one acts Roderick, one Oliver, one servant and the fourth one acts Henry Adams, then listen to the tape, pay more attention to the difference between American English and British English in pronunciation, stress, tone.

This happens because the dish soap molecules have a strong negative charge, and the milk molecules have a strong positive charge. Like magnets, these molecules are attracted to each other, and so they appear to move around on the plate, taking the food coloring with them, making it look like the colors are quickly moving to escape from the soap.Listening text:? Judy: Oh, I'm so sorry that you were ill and couldn't come with us on our field trip. How are you feeling now? Better?? Bill: Much better, thanks. But how was it?? Judy: Wonderful! I especially liked an area of the museum called Light Games.it was really cool. They had a hall of mirrors where I could see myself reflected thousands of times!? Bill: A hall of mirrors can be a lot of fun. What else did they have?? Judy: Well, they had an experiment where we looked at a blue screen for a while, and then suddenly we could see tiny bright lights moving around on it. You'll never guess what those bright lights were!? Bill: Come on, tell me!? Judy: They were our own blood cells. For some reason, our eyes play tricks on us when we look at a blue screen, and we can see our own blood cells moving around like little lights! But there was another thing I liked better. I stood in front of a white light, and it cast different shadows of me in every color of the rainbow!? Bill: Oh, I wish I had been there. Tell me more!? Judy: Well, they had another area for sound. They had a giant piano keyboard that you could use your feet to play. But then, instead of playing the sounds of a piano, it played the voices of classical singers! Then they had a giant dish, and when you spoke into it, it reflected the sound back and made it louder. You could use it to speak in a whisper to someone 17 meters away.? Bill: It all sounds so cool. I wish I could have gone with you? Judy: I know, but we can go together this weekend. I'd love to go there again!? Bill: That sounds like a great idea!

能力目标:培养学生听,做,说,读,写的能力,增进身体各部分的协调能力,语言表达能力。情感目标:让学生通过运用语言来完成学习任务,感受成功,从而引发和培养学生学习英语的内在动机,最终使他们形成英语学习的积极态度。同时培养学生要爱护动物。2. 教学重难点本课的教学重点是让学生能听、说、认读六个有关动物的词汇。教学难点是学生能将这六个有关动物的词汇运用到简单的英语句子中表达,突破重点和难点的关键是结合低年级学生喜欢游戏的特点,通过玩游戏,使单调的知识溶进生动的活动之中,让学生在听,做,动的过程中,掌握知识,并灵活地运用。三.说教法1.教法设计为了顺利完成以上教学目标,更好地突出重点,突破难点,按照学生的认识规律,我采用了讲读、直观演示、愉快教学相结合的方法,层层递进,激发学生的学习兴趣,充分调动他们学习的积极性,保持他们强烈的好奇心和旺盛的求知欲,进而促使他们由兴趣发展到产生要学好它的志趣。
本课教学从激发学生的兴趣入手,引导学生由词到句,循序渐进地达到学习目标,整个教学体现全员参与,体现合作探究,体现生活实践,在活动中开始,在情景中操练,在运用中创新,充分发挥学生的自主性,创造性。在整堂英语课堂教学中最大限度地激发学生的学习兴趣,使小学生在一节课的时间里始终保持高昂的学习状态。产生事半功倍的效果。 三、说教学手段 小学生的形象思维在其认识过程中占主导地位,三年级学生刚刚接触英语,学习一般靠直觉和体验,不善于把握语言规律,以直观的形象思维为主,对语言记忆以机械记忆占大多数,这就要求教师采用多样的教学手段,使课堂教学生动活泼,吸引学生,寓教于乐。1. 在小学英语课堂教学中要尽量多的采用实物情景进行直观的教学,这样做既符合小学生的认知规律,又能吸引他们的有意注意。
教学设计理念:英语课程标准明确指出,学生的发展是英语课程的出发点和归宿。小学英语课的主要目标是培养学生用英语做事情的能力,同时重视学科内容的有效融合。新课程提倡任务型教学,让学生在教师的指导下通过感知、体验、实践、参与和合作等方式完成教学目标。本着这一理念,我在设计本课时从激发和保持学生的学习兴趣入手,精心创设生活化语言情景,开展丰富多彩的活动,让学生在我的指导下进行语言交流,感受用英语交流的乐趣和成功感,从而培养学生用英语进行交流的能力。教学目标:1. 情感目标:关注学生的内在需要,在活动中培养学生的协作精神和竞争意识,培养学生学习英语的积极情感态度。2. 知识目标:能运用所学语言进行交流。3. 能力目标:通过本课的学习,学生能在实际生活中用英语进行问候;培养学生在课堂上进行自主评价的能力;培养学生根据情景猜测语义和在尝试中自我修正的学习策略。
教学过程:1.热身/复习(Warm-up/Revision)(1)教师用肢体语言表示出字母,让学生猜出字母,并大声读出。(2)出示字母卡,学生认读,并提问学生回忆以它开头的单词。(3)放A部分Let’s chant的录音,学生有节奏地跟唱歌谣。2.新课展示(Presentation)(1)出示字母卡学习Dd,再单独呈现大写或小写,反复教读。用同样方法教读Ee。(2)出示以这两个字母为首字母的单词图片,问学生:What’s this ?回答:It’s a duck .教读duck,dog,egg,elephant。注意egg是an egg,不是“a egg”.(3)放Let’s say部分的录音,学生跟读。3.趣味操练(Practice)(1)呈现大写或小写字母的趣味图片,让学生认读。(2)让学生发挥想象,说出这些字母 像什么。(3)教师按笔顺书写字母,让学生观察后按笔顺书写字母。(4)游戏:找朋友游戏:看谁站得快学生手执卡片,听教师发令后,产成一排,下面的学生边读边检查。
