教学对象：初一学生

第一课时

单位：中山市溪角初级中学

一．教学内容分析

历年以来，Weather都是广东中考的常考话题。作者根据七下Review of units 7--12教材内容，做了整合和拓展。因为天气影响到人们的日常生活的方方面面，由此切入，作者将天气和旅游活动两个中考常考话题相结合做为本节课的教学主题。这样的特定主题比较贴近学生的生活实际，容易与学生生活建立起关联。为了使课堂各环节间流畅自然，作者设置了“Paul”为“主角”。“Make a trip plan for Paul”是整个教学活动的主线，所有的教学活动都是围绕这条主线开展。在课堂导入环节，教师提前布置了任务：教师收到了Paul的一封e-mail, 他想来中国旅游，但不了解中的天气状况。对此，教师要求学生收看当天的天气预报并为Paul写一篇

weather report, 也可以选择为老师提供的天气预报视屏进行英文配音。语篇学习文章作者选取了一篇介绍美国旅游和天气的文章，非常典型。问题设置难度适中，更有开放性的问题讨论。最后的写作由国外引向国内，写出中国的旅游和天气。将学生所学的知识和现有的经验积累结合起来，拓展了教学的主题，达到了学以致用的教学目的。

Dear Amanda, I got a great passage for you. It’s about traveling in America. Most of the time where and when you will visit in America depends on the weather.

The US is a big country. It is about 3000 miles from the east coast to the west coast, so choose carefully the places to see and the time to go. Bring a map because you may want to travel around. New York and Washington D.C. are good places to visit in May or October, but in winter there is a lot of snow. The best time to visit New England is in September. The weather gets cooler, and the green leaves start to turn gold, then brown. Bring your camera so you can take photos of the autumn trees.

California is on the Pacific coast, and the weather is fine all year round. Take your swimming clothes because you might want to go swimming in the sea, even in December. In Seattle, in the northwest, it is not very cold but it rains a lot, so bring an umbrella. In Alaska the days are long and warm in summer, but may be cool in the evening. In winter, Alaska can be very very cold.

If you want to visit Alaska, you had better going summer. Do not forget to bring a warm sweater with you. In Texas and the southeast, it is usually very hot and sunny compared to other places. There are storms from time to time in summer and autumn. So when is the best time to visit the US?

It depends on the weather! Amanda, looking forward to your visit.
