Unit Four How do you go to school?
一、Analysis of the Teaching Material：
本单元是新目标英语《Go for it》八年级第一学期内容。本单元讨论的话题是交通运输方面的，是非常具有实用性的内容。学好本课，学生不但能够加深对一般现在时态的理解和运用，也可以用英语来和别人讨论到达某地的最佳方式。
二、Analysis of the Students：
对于出二第一学期的学生来说，他们在经过初一一年的英语学习后，已具有了相当的英语基础，同时也具备一些运用的语言知识的能力。在这样的基础上，学生对于讨论跟他们生活息息相关的行的相关内容一概很容易产生兴趣，老师应在这一教学过程中教育学生要自觉遵守交通法规。
三、Design the principle：
新目标英语强调的是任务型教学，强调学生要成为教学活动的主体，而老师只是从中起到协调引导作用，因此在我的教学设计里，比较重视学生活动。充分调动起学生的积极性，让他们成为学习的主动者。本节课是本单元的第一课时，主要让学生掌握交通工具和基本句型“How do you……？”

（强化交际能力，检查复习学过知识)
Step Two: New words
Show some pictures of the new words on the screen. Ask students to try to read these words.
bike, train, subway, car, ship, boat, bus, airplane
Maybe there is only one new word for students---subway, so the teacher only correct the pronunciation of these words.
There is a words game.( Ask students to look through the new words quickly, then check how many they can remember. Give students some pictures about the new words and some word cards. The teacher show the new words or the pictures of the new words on the screen. If the teacher show the word “train” to the students, the student who got the picture of the train should stand up quickly and say “I’m here!” And so on.)
(通过多媒体屏幕向学生展示所学单词,图文并茂，非常直观地向学生展示了新单词.简单的单词游戏既调动了学生的学习积极性又强化了单词记忆。)
Step Three: Listening
Ask students to look at the picture in their books. Ask them some questions about the picture.
Show the questions on the screen.
What can you see in the picture?
How many people are there in the picture?
What are they doing?
After this, play the recording for two times, ask students to finish Activity 1b and write down the phrases of the transports.
takes the train, takes the subway, takes the bus
For the third time, ask students to repeat the conversation and check the answers together.
The teacher give the correct answers on the screen.
(通过听力让学生对于本课的基本句型有了一个初步印象，并且让他们自己从听力中领悟怎样表达使用某种交通工具。)
Step Four: Structures
Phrases
take the bus, take the train, take the subway, ride a bike, take a car, take the airplane, take the boat, on foot
Show the pictures to students and read these phrases , ask students to repeat.
Then show the pictures to them and ask them to say each phrase one by one.
（2）Structures:
The teacher show the pictures to students and ask students to answer the question “How do you go to school?” one by one.
Then do another exercise. The first student say “I go to school by ……or I take……to school.”，then the second student say “He/She goes to school by……or He/She takes……to school.”
（让学生通过图片来记短语，生动形象。句子接龙能引起学生的注意，让他们既要考虑自己怎么说还要注意听别人怎么说，而且在这一过程中充分训练了单三人称的句子）
Step Five: Pairwork
Ask two students to read the dialogue in the speech bubbles to the class.
Then ask students to work in pairs. Ask and answer how students get to school in the picture.
As they work, move around the room, offering language or pronunciation support as needed.
Finally ask some pairs of students to present their conversations to the class.
（通过对话让学生更好的掌握所学的句型。）

Interview ten students how they get to someplace, make a list.
十、教学反思：
本节课上完后有如下感觉：
a) 多媒体教学使课堂生动活泼，增加了教学容量，使老师更好的利用课堂45分钟。
b) 基本按照新课标的要求让学生成为课堂的主体，让他们多说多练，教学效果较好。
c) 随堂的几道习题帮助学生更好的掌握了所学。
d) 由于学生较多，所以设计的活动有些进行得很仓促.
e) 对于基础较差的学生来说，课堂容量较大，很难进行完。
