Part 1

上課時可以用以前學過的句型問大家，What’s the weather like today? Is it sunny? Is it cloudy? Is it rainy?緊接著，教師拿出一些相關的天氣圖片給大家看，并對大家說，Now, look here.I’ve got many pictures.What are they?然后，讓學生一張一張地復習已會的單詞。在學生比較熟練掌握單詞后，拿出幾個新的單詞圖片說，Look, It’s drizzling.Do you know “drizzling”“?毛毛細雨”It’s drizzling.Now use this picture to answer my question.What’s the weather like in this picture?教師可以問幾遍，然后再學習新的單詞。如：foggy, dry, clear, humid, thundering 等。教師給出中文意思的時候，不必說整句話，只需給出某個單詞的意思即可。之后，教師可以教新的句型。Now listen carefully.Who can answer my next question? What was the weather like yesterday? Do you know “yesterday”? What was the weather like yesterday?說此句子的時候要特別強調句子中的was, yesterday.如果有學生舉手發言，就可以跟該學生進行問答。教師邊說邊把兩個問句寫在黑板上，然后用彩色粉筆標出不同之處，同時給出不同的答語。當學生能明白句子時，對學生說，Now I want you to practice the questions and answers in pairs.練習后，教師說Now which pair wants to do in class?

Part 5

目的在于擴大學生有關天氣的相關知識。教師在教此部分時，一定要以朗讀和理解為主，沒有必要讓學生記住文章中的所有單詞，特別是沒有必要逐字逐句翻譯成漢語。如有些意思不好用英語解釋時，可以適當給出該短語的中文意思。

Part 6

可以讓學生表演小對話。由于這一部分沒有太多難點，可直接讓學生兩人一組進行練習。

練習一可以讓學生以小組為單位進行競賽。先讓學生分組拼出單詞，然后將所拼出的詞寫在黑板上。每拼對一個詞給10分，最后算總分。Now let’s play a word-spelling game.We’ve got an apple tree here.On each apple there’s a letter.Work in groups and spell the words out.When you finish , run to the blackboard and copy them down.Later we’ll see how many minutes you’ve used and how many correct words you’ve got.Is it clear ? Now let’s begin.在學生以小組為單位拼寫的時候，教師可以在黑板上標出每個小組的地盤，準備讓每組的學生拼寫用。

練習二It’s a sunny day.A pretty girl is standing in front of a bus stop.Not far from her, there’s a bus coming.She is holding an umbrella.On the umbrella , there is a little bird sitting on the top.A young boy, who is next to the girl , wants to catch the bird.注：由于第三級涉及的內容較多，詞匯量較大，建議教師每單元用5個課時完成。4個課時之后，留一部分作為家庭作業或下次在課堂上繼續完成。

教學活動：

教學活動1

Make a telephone call.上課時，教師讓一個學生站到最前面，另一個站到教室的最后面，表示兩個人在不同的城市用“電話”談論天氣，可以使用所學過的有關天氣的單詞。教師要適當地給學生一些指導。比如，Hello, what’s the weather like in Shanghai today? What was the weather like yesterday? Do you want to go outside today? 等等。在學生表演的時候，教師可以讓學生復習地名、國名等。教師可以用英語這樣說，Now, let’s play a game.I want you to ask questions and answer the questions over the telephone.Let’s see what you are going to talk about.You may use the words we’ve learned today.Later you can also use country and city names.教學活動2

Let’s guess the word on the blackboard.教師事先準備若干個有關天氣的單詞卡或圖片。上課時，教師對大家說，Now I want you to play a game.Look, on the blackboard there are many words.But they’re facing down.One person can come to the front.After I say a word, you can decide which word needs to be turned over.If you turn the right card over within the next 30 seconds, you whole group can have one minute break in class.If not , you will lose one score by turning the wrong card.The first correct pick will be given 25 points./ The second correct pick will be given 25 points.The third correct pick will be given 12.5 points./ The fourth correct pick will be given 6.5 points.The fifth correct pick will be given 3 points.第一輪完成之后，教師可以將所有的卡片重新安排一遍，再繼續第二個學生。Finally we’ll see which group has got more points than others.課后作業：

1．Listen to the weather report every day and take a careful note.Then , draw a diagram to show each day’s weather report.2．Listen to the tape of Part 5, three times.And for the last time , you may close your books and listen to the tape to see whether you can remember each passage.劍橋少兒英語三級上 Unit 2 What's the favourite season?

教學目的和要求：

*使學生在掌握天氣的基礎上進一步擴大有關季節方面的知識 *使學生能用簡單的英語表達有關季節的內容 *通過閱讀短文鞏固和擴大詞匯量 交際句型：

What is your favourite season? Which season is it? It’s getting warmer and warmer.It’s not too hot and not too cold.交際詞匯：island, shining, swan, difference, possible, crops, ripe, club, compete, divide, enjoy, plant， sunglasses, field, boots, season

具體教學方式：

上課時可以用學生們較熟悉的內容來引出話題。Now let me ask you some questions.What’s your favouite colour? What’s your favourite food? What’s your favourite fruit ? What’s your favourite subject? 然后問，What’s your favourite season? 如果學生能回答上來的話，教師就可以繼續問幾個學生。如果學生不知道如何回答時，教師就可以問，Do you like spring? Do you like summer? 此時，教師還可以問一些相關的問題，How many seasons are there in a year? What are they? What’s your favourite season? 在學生回答問題的基礎上，教師可以讓學生猜謎語。教師說，Good!Now I want you to guess some riddles.Which season is it?教師可以分別說出第三部分的謎語，讓學生猜。猜完之后，可以讓大家聽錄音，并讓學生跟著錄音帶一起朗讀本部分的小短文。由于此部分沒有多少單詞，所以教師可以讓學生熟讀此段內容。在此基礎上，對學生說，I know that many of you like spring.Some of you like summer.Some of you like autumn or winter.Do you know what season I like? Ok.Autumn is my favourite season.Last year my friend and I went camping with the children’s club.After we got to the camping place?接下來將本單元第四部分的故事講完。講故事時，不要讓學生看書，同時盡量使用身體語言和手勢，使故事更加有意思。Now I want you to listen to the tape once more.Later you’re going to do some exercises.本單元為有一些用于朗讀的小段子。教師可以將這些內容分別處理。比如第五部分比較容易，教師可以讓學生直接朗讀。而第六部分，則可以讓學生每人試著讀。教師可以這樣對學生說，Now let’s read Part 5 together.This is not difficult.All of you know how to say it.Now let’s begin.Very good, this time I will leave you a new passage.I want you to read it loudly by yourself.I’m sure you can read it.If you don’t know.I can help you.Now you may begin.最后教師讓學生朗讀，然后再讓學生聽錄音，一起跟著朗讀。

本單元為學生設計了很多談話的內容，比如第二部分和練習

一、練習三。在適當的時候，教師可以安排學生兩人一組進行交談。練習四的單詞并不太難，學生可以自己學會該內容。教師關鍵在于把握好學生活動的時間與節奏，隨時進行調整。

如果時間不夠可以省去本單元的第八部分。第五、六部分也只限于朗讀為止。教師在課堂上沒有必要做過多的解釋。

如果學生的動詞短語詞組較少，教師就可以將事先準備好的動詞短語詞組拿給大家朗讀，并提醒大家這些短語的意思。

在此基礎上，教師就可以提出下一個問題。I have a friend.His name is Bob.Do you know what he did yesterday? Now let’s listen to the tape and see what he did yesterday.I want you to pay attention to the following times.教師將下列時間寫在黑板上。

Yesterday morning, / After breakfast, / Later on, / In the afternoon, / In the evening，What did Bob do at each time ? Now listen carefully.Do you understand? Do you want to listen to it again? Yes or No? 之后，教師根據黑板上提示的時間問大家，What did Bob do yesterday morning ? What did Bob do after his breakfast ?..在學生回答比較熟練的基礎上，教師讓大家打開書，自己大聲朗讀第一部分的內容。在學生朗讀的時候，教師可以把黑板上的句子變成問句，如下：

What did Bob do yesterday morning?

What did Bob do after his breakfast?

What did Bob see at the foot of the mountains?

What did Bob do later on?

What did Bob do in the afternoon?

Which comes third or fourth?......Who can come to the blackboard and rearrange the pictures?當某個學生到前面來調整順序后，教師問學生，Is it correct? Does anybody want to make some change?如果有人愿意調整，可以繼續。當調到正確位置的時候，教師說，OK..Very good.Now I’m going to tell you this story.Please listen carefully.You can find out whether the pictures are in the correct order or not.進行此或時，教師不要讓學生看書，直到活動完成為止。

如何導入教學？

單元教學活動1 Look, ask and write.a）上課后，教師拿出已經準備好的大掛歷，展示過后，教師說，“I?ve got some really beautiful pictures.Please guess, how many pictures have I got?”學生應能猜出“Twelve”.接著，教師再問：“How many months(板書)are there in a year?” 學生也能說出 “Twelve” 教師可以繼續說：“Ok, now let?s see what they are.”教師拿出第一張掛歷說：“Look, this is January.”教師結合掛歷上的內容簡單講一講，爭取提高他們的興趣。然后教師再問：“Who was born in January? Please stand up.Let?s see how many of us were born in January.”接著，教師用類似的方法帶出第二月，第三月，第四月等。等說完十二個月后，教師帶著大家讀這十二月的英語名稱。在熟悉這些詞的基礎上，教師說：“If you were born in January, you are January.If you were born in May, you are May.Do you understand? Simon says.?May stand up.? If you were born in May, please stand up.Now let?s begin.”教師帶著大家一起玩，并在給出幾次指令之后，請學生來給指令：“Who can come here and say this?”

b)下一步，教師可以帶著學生一起唱Happy Birthday Song.唱完后，教師問，“When is your birthday, who can answer? 等學生回答后，教師再問，“On which date?”并鼓勵引導學生說出答句，教師示范幾組對話后，觀察學生的反應情況，在學生都可以進行問答的時候，教師讓學生在書上的月份下寫上自己的名字。然后，兩人一組做對話練習。學生可以根據自己的實際情況進行替換。為了讓學生多說英語，教師允許學生下座位繼續問同學的生日時間，邊問邊把他們的名字寫在正確月份的蛋糕上。c)教師問：“Who was born in January? Please stand up.”讓該月出生的學生站起來后教師說：“Please go and stand in front of the blackboard.Who was born in February? Please go and stand at the door.Who was born in March? Please stand up and go to the window.”教師依次說出各個月份，并附帶上一些指示語言，目的是讓學生通過活動記住這些月份的英語單詞。

單元教學活動2 Read, look and choose 第二部分是閱讀，并為自己家里的人挑選生日禮物。在學生不看書的情況下，教師可以將書本上的話在說給大家聽，然后再讓大家打開書，分別給每個人挑選一件禮物。最好能讓學生說為什么要給他挑選手表或其他物品。學生先畫出連線，然后再兩人一組相互說自己為他們每個人選的禮物。教師可以引導學生這樣說：“ I choose the watch for my father, because my father works in an office.He needs the time very much.”在學生練習的基礎上，教師可以請一些學生說給大家聽。

單元教學活動3 A mini play 第三部分是有關生日的對話。在此部分之前，教師可以問學生幾個問題，以啟發學生思考，“What do you usually do to celebrate your birthday? What do you often do at your birthday party?” 這時可以先將一些生日聚會中的活動的英文表達方式介紹給學生，要求學生掌握。進入該部分時，教師可以先幫助學生檢查是否有不會念的詞匯。教師先采取A、B組的形式來對話，然后再采取男、女生的形式，最后讓兩人一組進行練習。如果有些學生很快就熟悉了，教師可以給他們做示范的機會

單元教學活動4 Listen, read and answer 第四部分是閱讀理解練習。教師可以讓學生自己閱讀并根據要求回答問題。教師要提醒大家回答的時候不要超過三個詞，“No more than three words”，越簡潔越好。最后，教師組織大家說出答案。

單元教學活動5 Read and write 第五部分是培養學生寫單句的能力。學生只需寫出一個比較正確的句子就可以了。可以模仿所給的例句寫

單元教學活動6 Listen and chant 第六部分是說說唱唱。由于本段的說唱比較容易，教師需多帶著學生讀幾遍，以達到背誦的目的。本題中的問題，也只希望學生能模仿句型，教師不需給學生解釋句法結構，只要學生照著說就可以了。說唱完之后，教師可以請學生兩人一組進行該句型的對話練習并表演。

單元教學活動7 Read, look and do 第七部分是讓學生根據所讀的句子要求做一個手工裝飾。學生既可以做秋天的裝飾，也可以做冬天的裝飾，只要能反映出主題及季節就可以。此活動可以在課下做，上課時進行展覽。

單元教學活動8 Listen and sing 第八單元是歌曲部分。教師可以帶著大家先說后唱，邊唱邊跳，甚至可以變換一些隊形來表演這段歌曲 知識擴展

January takes the name from Janus, a two-headed Roman god who guarded doors and gates.One of his heads was said to look towards the past, the other to the future February comes from the Latin Februarius, meaning “to purify”.The ancient Romans held a festival of purification to prepare for the year to come March is the month of Mars, which was the Roman god of war, always shown as a fierce, bearded figure clad in an armour and helmet and carrying a spear and a shield.He was also the god of farming.March marks the beginning of the season when war and farming, two of the most important activities in a Roman?s life, could start again April comes from the Latin word aperire, which means to open the thought of April as the opener of the year is a very apt one, for it is in April-after the wind and rain of March-that the year really starts to open, with the weather turning soft and gentle and all the leaf and early blossom unfolding on the trees May the goddess Maia gave her name to the month of May.She was not a very famous goddess, but she had a famous father, Atlas, who was supposed to carry the world on his shoulders, and a famous son, Hermes June some people think it was named after an old Roman family called Junius, but it is more likely that it was after the goddess Juno, the wife of Jupiter and queen of heaven, who rode about in a chariot drawn by peacocks July Julius Caesar, the great Roman general, gave his name to July.Among the many things Caesar did was to re-arrange the Roman calendar.This gave him a problem with the name of the seventh month.In the old calendar it had been the fifth month, and this was the meaning of its name Quintilis.Caesar realized that it would be silly to have the seventh month with a name like “the Fifth”, so he decided to call it after himself – and Julius became July August the Romans used to call August Sextilis, the sixth month.But when Julius Caesar reformed the calendar the name no longer suited it.Finally to Romans changed it to August to honour and flatter their Emperor Augustus, grand-nephew of the great Caesar September was the seventh month of the old calendar, and when it became the ninth the Romans did not bother to rename it.Its name comes from septem, meaning seven October, like September, bears its old name which is two months out of date.It means “the eighth month” but it is, of course, the tenth.The Anglo-Saxons used to call it “the yellow Month”

November, the eleventh month in our calendar, means “ninth month” – it is another name from the old calendar which has not been altered.Though its place in the year has been moved.November, to Anglo-Saxon ancestors, was Blotmonath, or “Blood Month”, when they killed off the animals they could not feed during the winter.December is another month whose old name has stuck.It means, literally, the tenth month.But to us it means much more than that: it means parties, chestnuts and turkey and toys – and Christmas
