2016年秋八年级英语上册 Module 2 My home town and my country

Unit 1 It's taller than many other buildings.
A new term begins. Have you changed a lot? Maybe some of you become taller. And some may become more beautiful. Can you tell me your changes?
导入二图片导入
向学生展示一些有关上海与香港的图片，先让学生描述一下自己眼中的这两座城市，然后引导学生说出上海与香港比较有名的建筑物，如：Jin Mao Tower与Bank of China Tower，从而导入新课。

T: Boys and girls, please look at the two photos carefully. Then, tell me something about the two cities in the photos.
S1: The city in the first photo is…
T: Good. But how do you know it is…？
S1: Because I can see its famous building…
T: Wonderful. Then, what city is it in the second photo?
S2: It is…，because I can see…
导入三情境导入
创设场景，让学生与同桌比较各自的自行车，如：颜色、大小、轻重、舒适度等，对比较级的部分可以用汉语说出，教师在黑板上用英语写出这些比较级，从而导入新课——比较级。

S1: My bike is 更重 than yours.
S2: My bike is 更大 than yours.
…
T: OK. Look at these words: heavier, bigger…
活动一Group work教材Activity 2(教学目的：初步了解形容词的比较级) 1．引出城市：小组内以问答的形式描述自己对深圳与香港的印象。

Do you know Shenzhen/Hong Kong? Where is it?
Did you go to Shenzhen/Hong Kong?
What do you think of Shenzhen/Hong Kong?
What's the population of Shenzhen/Hong Kong?
Which city is newer/busier, Shenzhen or Hong Kong?

2．总结比较：各小组长在黑板上至少写出一个有关两座城市进行比较的句子。

Group 1: …is a newer city than…
Group 2: …is bigger and busier than…
Group 3: …is cleaner and wider than…
Group 4: We think…is as clean as…but it's much busier.

3．加深印象：学生大声朗读含有比较级的句子，为进一步学习形容词的比较级做准备。

活动二Practice教材Activities 5－6(教学目的：形容词比较级的理解与运用) 比较深圳和你的家乡，在表格中记笔记，如：两地的位置、规模、人口、主要建筑等。

注意：尽量使用形容词的比较级形式来对两者进行比较，对已学知识进行实践和应用，提高学生的表达能力。

Activity 1
1．根据图片及所给词汇对两座城市有直观认识；
2．根据设置的题目听录音，提取短文信息。

突破二听说教学教材Activity 2
1．仔细听对话，了解城市由过去到现在的变化(听)；
2．学习形容词的比较级并且用比较级描述城市的变化(说)。

如：
Shenzhen was a small village about thirty years ago, but now it's a very big city. It's a newer city than Hong Kong…
突破三口语交际(听、说) 教材Activities 4－6
1．Play the tape in Activity 4 twice and ask the students to pay attention to the speaker's stresses. Then, let the students practise the sentences in pairs. (教师可以为学生指出：句子的重音的功能——体现句子的节奏感和韵律感，突出重点) 2．Ask the students to think of some words to describe the differences between their home town and Shenzhen first. Then, complete the table in Activity 5.
3．Ask the students to talk about the differences in pairs, using the adjectives and their comparatives. (教师可以在黑板上写出比较级的句型：A is…than B．)
形容词的比较级(一)
Step 1观察及探究
【观察】
So it's a newer city than Hong Kong? 这么说它是一座比香港更新的城市？
Some day it will become as busy as Hong Kong, I'm sure.
我相信有一天它会变得和香港一样繁荣。

Its streets are much wider and cleaner too. 它的街道也宽阔、干净得多。

【探究】
1．形容词比较级的基本句式：主语＋be动词＋形容词的比较级＋than＋比较成分．2．表示两者性质相等或程度相同：…be＋as＋adj.(原级)＋as………和……一样……
3．为了加强语气和说明程度，可以在形容词的比较级前加much, a lot, a little, even, still等词。
