一.教学背景分析(Analysis of teaching background)
(一)教学目标和要求(Teaching aims and demands)
根据《新课程标准》关于英语课程总目标的具体描述,结合初一学生的实际和教材内容,本单元的教学目标确定为:语言知识目标、语言技能目标、情感态度目标、学习策略目标和文化意识目标五个方面。

<4> 学习策略目标:(Strategy)

<5> 文化意识目标:(Cultural awareness)

二、教材内容分析(Analysis of the teaching materials)
本单元的中心话题是购物,主要语言功能项目是谈论服装, 询问价格和表示感谢,语法结构为:How much 引导的问句以及回答,名词单, 复数的使用和指示代词这, 那,这些,那些的用法。语言技能和语言知识几乎都是围绕着中心话题来展开的。
①Section A先从呈现服装词汇开始,通过看和听的方式来输入信息,并引出本单元的语法重点:How much is…? It’s…. How much are…? They’re…. 接着出现颜色、形状、大小的形容词,来描绘服装的特点。然后教材又设计了一个pairwork 用来进行循环操练询问价格的主要句型,并突出本单元的重要语法重点和难点:How much is the red sweater? How much are these blue pants? 之后又通过一段购物对话引导学生初步综合运用所学语言,最后教材设计了一个Memory Game,以游戏的形式使学生在富有挑战性的游戏中主动运用语言,落实新知。
②Section B 是在Section A基础上的知识的扩展和综合运用。在Section B中先是以听说读写的形式展开了数字的学习,并设计了听对话找物品和pairwork等活动,以实现新旧知识的综合运用。导购广告引出了同步阅读,之后的写导购广告和小组活动,使学生从完成半真实的任务过度到了完成真实的任务,从而达到了创造性地使用语言的目的。
③Self check的主要内容是学生对本单元的重要词汇以及语言运用能力的自我评价。
综上所述,本单元主要是以购物话题为主线,围绕着谈论服装、询问价格和表示感谢等语言功能展开了一系列的任务活动。
(三)教学重点和难点
教学重点:1.掌握一些服装类、颜色形状大小的词汇以及有关数字的表达。
2.熟练运用数字.正确表示价格
3.在购物的情景中,熟练并正确使用句型:How much is…? It’s… How much are they? They are….
教学难点:
1.指示代词this, that, these, those的适当使用。
2.How much引导的问句以及回答,以及句中主谓数的一致
(四)单元学情分析
学生在前面预备单元的第3单元里已经学过了询问颜色的句型What colour is it?和一些基本的表示颜色的单词:red, yellow, green, blue, black, white;而在Unit 5和Unit 6里学生学会了如何谈论好恶的句型:I like… , I don’t like… , She likes… She doesn’t like… , They like… They don’t like…等。学生已经学会的这些知识对我们本单元学习“询问价格和颜色”的句型和谈论对服装的喜好和如何购物等都大有好处,有利于学生随心表达出自己心里所想要表达的内容。

关于教材的处理:
1. 创造性地运用和处理教材
(1)在单元内容的整体把握上把Section A和Section B分成四个课时,把Self Check里的练习分散穿插在其他的课时里。
(2)在第一课时的教学环节中,把Section B中3a部分的一些单词buy…from, sell, clothes, store的学习提前了上来,原因是在前面的第一、二,三课时中一些情景的创设都要用到这些词。
(3)在第二课时里把 Section A里的4.Game这一步提了上来,放在了2 c的后面,因为这样既延续了前面的Pairwork这一环节里指示代词this, that, these, those的操练,又由机械的运用这些指示代词衔接到让学生们在游戏中自然而然地创造性地使用这些代词。)
(4)在第四课时里把Section B中的4 Groupwork这一步内容和前面的3a中的导购广告衔接起来,设计了一个自由市场的买卖活动,也就为学生们提供了一个运用语言的生活基础,可以促使他们真正创造性地使用语言来进行交际活动。因为在学生们进行买卖之前需要先写出自己小组的导购广告,已经有了导购广告的笔头练习,因此Section B里的3b 部分的内容:(假如你在“华兴”旁边有一个服装店,给自己的服装店写一篇广告),处理为学生们的回家作业,让每个同学都有笔头练习写导购广告的机会。 Self Check里的3(读广告写标签)处理为第3课时回家后的阅读材料,以增加学生们课外的阅读量。
2.本单元的课堂教学我始终遵循任务型教学的理念,以学生为学习的主体,以任务为中心,以交际为目的,在运用语言完成各种任务的过程中来学习、体会和掌握语言。每项任务实施前,我都创设相关的真实或半真实的情景,使任务也具有相应的真实性。
