教学过程

四、教学过程

Step1 Lead-in and Brainstorming（5 mins）

1. 导入并揭题

T: As you can see in the title, in this unit, we are going t talk about the USA, a land of diversity. Now how much do you know about this land? Let’s have a look at a map, and try to recognize some famous places. Now open your books and turn to page 1. Here is a map of the USA. Please look at it carefully. Try to write on the map the names of the oceans, countries, mountain ranges, lakes rivers and big cities as many as possible.

以竞赛的方式，让学生对美国版图上一些主要地点加以熟悉。

[意图说明] 首先从单元标题入手，引起学生的注意。以竞赛的形式，迅速与班级同学建立联系，活跃课堂气氛，并用版图来促进学生对美国—— a land of diversity 形成一个具象的认识。

2. 头脑风暴

先请学生寻找California在地图上的位置。然后教师启发学生联想与immigrate有关的词汇，同时进行板书。

[意图说明] 以头脑风暴的形式，快速激活学生头脑中已有的图式；为导入新课做好准备。并启发学生联想，移民是否都是愉快的、开心的，为阅读文本做好情感上的准备。
