八年级英语 unit5 If you go to the party,you'll have a great time.教案 人教版
Unit 5 If you go to the party,you’ll have a great time. Period 1 Section A 1a,1b,2a&2b教学指导思想和理论依据:一任务型的教学。
它是一种以人为本的,能体现语言价值的、先进的、有效的教学途径;任务型教学就是以具体的任务为学习目的,以完成任务的过程为学习过程,以应用为动力,以应用为目的,以应用为核心的教学途径。
我把任务型语言教学理论应用于英语教学,并依据课程的总体目标,创造性地设计了许多贴近学生实际的任务型教学活动,贯穿于英语教学的各个环节,既深化课文、活化教材,又使英语课堂生动有趣,学生通过亲身体验、实践、合作与探究等方式学习和使用英语,学习效果特别明显。
在整个课程中,我遵循任务教学的几大原则。
做到:(一)以学生为主体原则。
创造性地设计贴近学生生活、学习经历和社会实际的任务活动,能引起学生的共鸣和兴趣,激发全体学生积极参与的欲望。
(二)言语、情景真实性原则。
语言情景、语言形式等要符合交际的功能和规律,反映学生的现实生活。
使学生在一种自然、真实或模拟真实的情景中体会语言、掌握语言的应用。
(三)阶梯型任务链原则。
任务的设计应由简到繁,又易到难,层层深入,形成由初级任务到高级任务并由高级任务涵盖初级任务的循环。
在语言技能方面,应当先输入后输出,遵循先听、读、后说、写的设计顺序,使教学阶梯式地层层递进。
二反馈控制原理。
只有对教学过程进行有效控制,才能使系统有序,保证其组织性,及时纠正学习出现的偏差,采取补救的措施,直至达到预期的教学目标。
教学过程系统的控制主要通过教师与学生之间的信息联系,并以反馈为基本方式来实现的,是根据过去的运作情况调整将来的行为的一种方法。
根据此原理,我在本节课中,安排了造句比赛和句子接龙。
请学生通过小组合作的方式完成并用书面形式表达出来。
既训练学生的口语表达和沟通合作能力。
又训练了书面表达的能力。

I think I’ll ride my bike. If you do, you’ll be late.2. I think I’m going to stay at home. If you do, you’ll be sorry.四. 重点语法: 由if引导的条件状语从句if用做连词时,可以表示“如果;假如”,用来引导一个条件状语从句。
Unit 5 If you go to the party,you’ll have a great time!
语法小结1. if条件句2. 现在进行时表示将来的时间一. if条件句1. if条件句:条件句用于陈述语气,表示假设的情况可能发生,其中 if 是“如果”的意思。
2.(1)条件状语从句通常由连词if引导,意为“如果、假如”,主句不能用be going to表示将来,而应该用shall,will。
If you leave now, you are never going to regret it. (错误)If you leave now, you will never regret it. (正确)(2)if “如果”,引导条件状语从句,if从句则用一般现在时,主句用一般将来时。
如:If it rains tomorrow, I shan’t climb the hills.If I go to college, I will never become a great soccer player.注意宾语从句中的if与条件状语从句if的区别。
宾语从句中的if“是否”相当于 whether,引导宾语从句,时态需根据语境确定。
I don't know if it will rain tomorrow. 我不知道明天是否会下雨。
二. 现在进行时表示将来的时间1. 用be doing表示将来:主要意义是表示按计划、安排即将发生的动作,常用于位置转移的动词,如:go,come,leave,arrive等,也可用于其他动作动词,如:We are having fish for dinner. 我们晚饭吃鱼。
We are moving to a different hotel the day after tomorrow. 后天我们会去另外一个旅馆。
这种用法通常带有表示将来的时间状语,如果不带时间状语,则根据上下文可表示最近即将发生的动作。
A: Where are you going?B: I am going for a walk. Are you coming with me?A: Yes, I am just coming. Wait for me.2. 现在进行时表示将来和用be going to 表示将来意思比较接近,但是现在进行时更强调事先已安排好,即将去做的事情, 而be going to 一般只表示打算做某事,有做某事的意图。

If you share your problems, you’ll feel better.
Students these days often have a lot of worries. Sometimes we have problems with our schoolwork, or arguments with our friends. Perhaps we even worry about our parents’ problems.
“You’ll feel so much better if you talk to someone,” says Laura. For example, I once lost my wallet, and I worried for days. I was scared to tell my parents about it. I even walked three miles to school each day because I lost all my money. I just kept thinking, If I tell my parents, they’ll be angry! Anyway, I bet you can guess how the story ended. I talked to my parents and they were really understanding. My dad said he sometimes made careless mistakes himself. They got me a new wallet and just asked me to be more careful. I felt so much better after talking to them. I will always remember to share my problems in the future!”
What can we do about this ? The worst thing is to do nothing. Laura Mills a teenager from London, agrees. “Problems and worries are normal in life,” says Laura, “But I think talking to someone helps a lot. If we don’t talk to anyone ,we'll certainly feel worse.”
Even Mr. Hunt agrees that this doesn’t need to be an expert like himself. We can talk to our friends, teachers, or our parents. We often forget that our parents have more experience than us, and are always there to help us. The main thing is to know that if you look for help, you’ll find it.
Paragraph 4 this
the fact that I lost my wallet
Paragraph 4 it
help
Paragraph 5 it
my parents
Paragraph 5 them
our problems
3b GROUPWORK
Rewrite the sentences below using reference words. 1.I started working at 9 am. The morning was a very tiring morning. I started working at 9 am. It was a very tiring morning. 2.While the barber was cutting my hair, the barber told me about his children. While the barber was cutting my hair, he told me about his children.
Robert Hunt, a counselor from England, feels the same way. “In English we say that A problem shared is a problems halved. As a counselor, I have to agree with this. We should never run away from our problems. We should always try to solve them. Usually, the first step is finding someone we trust to talk to.”
