Step 2 Presentation
T: When is my birthday? My birthday is March 12th. And when is your birthday? You may answer it in Chinese.(引出12个月的单词的教学,可用12个月的图片或幻灯片进行教学。)
T: There are 12 months in a year. They are January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November and December.(逐个教学后,然后听、跟读 ,直到学生能流利地朗读。)
生日除了讲月外,还要有具体的几号,我们已经学过基数词one, two, three 到thirty-one。那么我们是否就用这些基数词呢?No.我们还有把这些数词稍微改变一下。然后引出序数词的学习,教学日期的表达法。
a. 复习from one to thirty-one。
b. 教学序数词,再教学生几句基数词变序数词的几句口诀,以便学生记忆。
基变序,有规律,
第一、二、三单独记。
-th 从四加起,
八去t来九去e。
遇到ve, f替,
-ty变为tie,
后跟-th莫迟疑。
若想表示几十几,
只变个位就可以。
c. Listen and repeat 2a(Section A)
d. Do some practice about the date
e. Practice(每组派一个同学到黑板上写出四个你喜欢的日期,然后让另外小组的成员用英语说出你写的日期,每个同学说一个,如果错了,就让同一组的同学纠正,看看哪一组同学能一次就说正确,那么就是获胜者。)
f. Ask and answer : When is your birthday? My birthday is….
Step 3 Practice
a. Listen and repeat 1a 2b 1c
b. Pairwork
A: When is your birthday? B: My birthday is …
c. Ask some pairs to act(目的是看看学生对日期的表达有没有问题)
Step 4 Interview
One may go out of your seat to interview anyone you like, Then do a report.(做这个task课堂看上去会有些乱,但学生们喜欢这种活动,会激起他们说的欲望。)
Step 5 Task after class
1. 了解家人出生的具体日期
2. 了解一下明天班里有人过生日吗
3. 查寻Self check 3里人物的出生日期
Teaching postscript:
1. 这节课的词汇容量比较大,12个月份的单词也比较难记,对于基础较薄弱的学生来说全部掌握有一定困难,但是假如他们记住了自己出身的月份,家人出身的月份及好朋友出身的月份,那么对于他们来说目的也就达到了。
2. 我把1-31序数词的学习也放在这节课里,因为基数词1-31刚在前一个单元学过,所以对学生来说困难不会很大。
3. 对学生来说在一节课内要把月、日流利的说正确可能回有一定的困难,主要是学生会经常把“日”的表达用基数词。)
