Reading --Secrets and lies & A friendship in trouble
教材分析：
“Secrets and lies & A friendship in trouble”围绕本单元的主题“Getting along with others”，以书信的形式，向杂志的专栏作家反映了交友过程中遇到的烦恼------与好朋友争吵，闹矛盾。该文章以一个平常的视角，列举了朋友相处过程中遇到的问题，同时，让同学们领悟书信的字里行间传达的感情。
文章以第一人称讲述，语言浅显流畅，多用短句，学生读起来会有身临其境之感。而且文中很多语言都透露出英语语言的美感，欣赏性很强。
学情分析：
英语学习的面应该扩展到英语国家的历史、文化、人文、地理等各个方面。教师任教的班级为理化班和物生班，班级中男生偏多，上课很有热情。两封书信的内容很容易在学生中产生共鸣。教师更关注激发学生探讨解决问题的具体可行的途径。
教学思路：
1. 老师通过安排阅读任务、解决阅读障碍的任务、以及读后交流心得体会的任务，让学生在小组合作过程中提高阅读理解能力、猜词能力和语言运用能力。
2. 引导学生进行自主性学习，善于发现问题，并且寻找解决问题的思路和方法。
3. 通过引导、启发式教学，对学生进行文化知识的渗透。
4. 电脑辅助教学以增加课堂容量。

教后感：
1、对于课文重要语言现象的处理虽然比较详细，但是缺少学生方面的操练和巩固。因此，阅读课中如何处理文章难点也是一个值得深究的方面。
2、学生阅读的时间还是比较少，虽然课堂上有快速阅读和精读的步骤，但是，这些还远远不够，因此要建议学生课后再重读文章，尤其课上讨论的复杂句式及语言优美的句子。
