Unit 7 Teenagers should be allowed to choose their own clothes. Section A 3a-3c Mom Knows Best 教材分析：

本单元核心话题为“规则”，以谈论允许做某事和同意或不同意做某事为交际功能，重点在设置的语境中学习和运用情态动词的被动语态。

本课时为Section A第三课时，围绕一首诗歌Mom knows best展开。诗歌不仅呈现了新的词汇，再现了本单元要求学习和掌握的should be allowed to do sth.的句型，更重要的是，它通过描绘孩子成长过程中与母亲的交流互动，利用细节的刻画引发读者的思考，潜移默化地对青少年进行情感教育，让学生学会理解父母对子女的关爱与教导。

英语诗歌这一文体为学生第一次接触，在本单元中主要承载着复习关键句型，设置学习语境，进而开展该单元话题下的各项教学任务。诗歌体裁有其独特的特点，但对诗歌体裁的教学并非本单元的教学目标之一，加之本篇诗歌不具备传统意义上典型英语诗歌的特点，而是一首散文诗，且考虑到学生学情——使用全英文或大量英语教授英语诗歌体裁非但效果不佳，且会影响本课时其他目标的达成。因而，在本课时的教学中，教师重点着眼于诗歌的内容，让其形式为内容服务，将本课型定位为本教材体系中传统的Section A 3a阅读课型。对诗歌特征的关注放在阅读过程中，让学生通过诗歌自身的韵律，如重读，升降调，停顿等，体会作者对母爱的感受及表达。

学情分析：

在前两个课时的学习中，学生已对本单元的重点语法结构should be allowed to do sth. 有较好的掌握，能够较好地运用已学，谈论允许与不被允许做的事情，能自然流畅地表达自己的同意与不同意。因而，本课时的重点在于，让其在掌握新词汇并复习已学语法结构的同时，体会作者成长过程中与母亲的互动，反思自己与母亲相处的点点滴滴，让其学会理解父母对自身的关爱和教导。
