Lead-in:Free talk

(1) How was your winter holiday? (2) Did you have a good time? (3) What did you do?

T: Great! All of you enjoyed yourselves during the winter holiday. Some visited interesting places and others just stayed at home and still had fun. Just as the saying goes, “East or west, home is the best.” Though we all think our own home is the best place in the world, we still have our dream homes. Maybe you love your home in the city centre very much, but your dream home is

in the countryside. Maybe your small flat is full of love every day, but you dream of living in a big house. This unit we are going to talk about our dream homes. I think it will be an interesting topic. 【设计意图：本课时是寒假过后的第一个新课时，因为第一单元的主题是梦想中的家园，从寒假生活开始聊起能让学生有话可说、有话想说，与同学分享各自精彩的寒假活动，能让课堂气氛很快热烈起来。然后再自然引入dream homes这一单元话题。】

Welcome to the unit Step 1 Part A 1. Presentation and learn.

Show pictures to learn about different countries: Japan, the USA, France, Canada, the UK and Russia,Japan. T: Boys and girls,I will show you some pictures of places, please look at the picture. What is this? T: Yes, it’s Mount Fuji. There is thick white snow at the top of the mountain all year round. The view in and around this mountain is really wonderful. Do you know which country it is in? T: That’s right. It’s in Japan. Mount Fuji is near Tokyo, the capital of Japan. Do you understand the meaning of “capital”?

T: What do we call the people who live in Japan? Yes, we call them Japanese or Japanese people. And “Japanese” also means the language that Japanese people speak.

Finish Part A on Page 7. 3. Finish a short passage..

T: We’ve learnt a lot about different countries and capitals. Now let’s read a passage, you need to fill in blanks. T: OK, let’s check your answers! 【设计意图：本课时的生词主要是国家、城市和名胜等专有名词，学生较难记忆和掌握。我设计了以图片的形式展示该国的名胜，以问题诱导的方式呈现国家、首都、语言、人民、名胜等信息，图文并茂从而吸引学生的注意力。】

Step 2 Part B 1. Listen and answer.

What do you know from the conversation? 2. Read together. 3. Make up similar conversations. 【设计意图：此部分内容比较简单，让学生通过听、读和对话，进一步熟练上一步骤中所学的内容，为下一步提高性活动做好铺垫和准备。】

Step 3 Practice

Guessing game T: I will invite you and your partner to come to the stage. One of you describe and the other needs to guess which country or city it is. T: Great! Most of you did a very good job. After class, I hope you can do more about the game. 【设计意图：一个比划一个猜的游戏不仅能够锻炼学生的口语表达能力，还能增强学生的合作意识，进一步巩固、强化所学知识，同时也是鼓励学生灵活运用所学。】

Step3 Language points. T: Read the comic together and learn the language points. (1) would like to do = want to do (2) live in a palace (3) live next to a restaurant (4) in town (5) the biggest one in Fifth Street

【设计意图：帮助学生学习梳理漫画部分所涉及到的一些重要的句型和词组，并引入本单元Grammar部分将会讲到的基数词和序数词的概念，为之后的教学做提前做准备。】

Step 4 Practice 1. Work in pairs and try to make a new story. 【设计意图：通过表演，让学生再构思一个新的对话，一方面可以锻炼学生的思维，另一方面也有助于学生口语的训练。】
