Unit3 Weather教学设计

一、教学背景

1.   教材分析

本课的教学内容选自人教版《英语》四年级下册Unit3 Weather第二课时词汇课。该教学语篇主题为weather report,文本的功能句It’s...in...能为学生介绍不同地方的天气提供句型框架。本节课的目标词汇为cold,cool,hot,warm,此类词汇的掌握有助于学生描述天气状况。此外，Let’s chant环节不仅可以用于巩固操练核心句型，还能丰富话题内容，提供穿衣建议，体现人文情怀。

2.   学情分析

四年级的学生经过一年半的英语学习，已有一定的词汇积累，在教师的指导下，能够借助已知词汇的拼读规则学习新词汇。他们知道如何进行小组合作，并乐于参与小组合作学习。然而，大部分学生没有学过衣服类单词，编歌谣与发微信消息的活动对于他们会有难度，但是小组成员可以相互帮助，共同进步。

二、教学目标

1.   语言交际目标：

（1）能在语境中理解weather report的意思，并正确发音；能听、说、认读单词：warm,cool,cold,hot,并能在语境中正确使用功能句It’s...in...来介绍不同地方的天气状况。

（2）能在图片的帮助下听懂并跟读歌谣；能够替换关键词创编新的歌谣。

2.   思维认知目标：

（1）通过对比跟读单词发音，提升判断分析能力。

（2）通过同桌合作学习、小组合作学习等方式，提高学生的协作策略。

3.   社会文化目标：

了解中国天气状况的分布特点，关心日常天气状况，并根据不同的天气给予他人不同的穿衣建议。

三、教学重难点

1.   教学重点

能掌握词汇warm,cool,cold,hot,weather的音、形、义，并正确运用句型It’s...in...来介绍不同地方的天气状况。

2.   教学难点

能根据给出的不同温度区间，判断cold等描述天气的单词词意，并用功能句It’s...in...介绍不同地方的天气状况。
