教學(xué)檢測(cè)設(shè)計(jì)點(diǎn)評(píng)： 

    我執(zhí)教的這堂課是JEFCBook2A的第八單元第30課。所面對(duì)的學(xué)生是初二的學(xué)生。粗看這課時(shí)，覺得困難不是很大，又是我比較喜歡的話題。當(dāng)我深入這課時(shí)，發(fā)現(xiàn)這課總體內(nèi)容比較散，包括了一篇“My uncle”的作文以及過去時(shí)態(tài)的復(fù)習(xí)操練內(nèi)容。而這篇文章的主要內(nèi)容是介紹了Lily的叔叔，一個(gè)商人的日常工作情況，第二段則用過去時(shí)態(tài)介紹了Uncle Mike去的不同地方。如何把這些內(nèi)容以一條主線串起來呢？我找到了一個(gè)切入點(diǎn)，以商人貫穿整堂課。

首先我運(yùn)用了最近的熱點(diǎn)，也是學(xué)生非常感興趣的東西（奧運(yùn)會(huì)的歌及冠軍的圖片）來活躍課堂氣氛，同時(shí)也能激起學(xué)生的愛國熱情。而這些內(nèi)容也是為導(dǎo)入部分做鋪墊。

我覺得導(dǎo)入部分還是比較簡潔的。通過一個(gè)猜人物的游戲，使學(xué)生產(chǎn)生濃厚興趣，而所猜的人物也是大家非常熟悉的劉翔，這樣就可以馬上討論到劉翔的職業(yè)－a runner。然后就可以自然的過渡到同學(xué)父母的職業(yè)。我開始預(yù)計(jì)所叫到的學(xué)生總有不少是商人，然而叫了幾個(gè)都是其他職業(yè)，所以我臨時(shí)加入直接詢問有多少人的父母是商人，這樣就完成了導(dǎo)課。然后再通過介紹Lily的Uncle，一個(gè)商人進(jìn)入到課文。我覺得導(dǎo)入部分利用大家耳熟能詳?shù)娜宋锛敖�期熱點(diǎn)能激發(fā)學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)興趣，這點(diǎn)還是比較有特色的。

對(duì)于文章的處理，我主要遵循了聽說讀寫的訓(xùn)練，同時(shí)貫穿了一個(gè)任務(wù)，即讓學(xué)生能夠帶著問題來看錄像，這樣比較有針對(duì)性。同時(shí)，為了了解學(xué)生對(duì)于文章內(nèi)容是否已經(jīng)把握好，我設(shè)置了一篇文章內(nèi)容填空題，原文是以第三人稱形式，練習(xí)我把它改成第一人稱，增加難度。

對(duì)于過去時(shí)態(tài)內(nèi)容的處理，我主要采用文字和圖片形式，引導(dǎo)學(xué)生用He was…來回答問題。而對(duì)于過去時(shí)態(tài)的操練，我還是以Uncle Mike為例，運(yùn)用過去時(shí)和現(xiàn)在時(shí)的對(duì)比來使學(xué)生加深印象，同時(shí)給學(xué)生一個(gè)任務(wù)，即以例句形式來造句。我覺得這也是比較有特色的一點(diǎn)。

課進(jìn)行到此時(shí)，我覺得還應(yīng)再拓展，所以我設(shè)計(jì)了一個(gè)小組活動(dòng)。因?yàn)楸菊n講到了商人，所以我想讓學(xué)生編一個(gè)關(guān)于商人如何做生意的對(duì)話。而以什么話題開始呢？我想到了前面所提到的人物－劉翔。學(xué)生對(duì)劉翔非常的感興趣，就讓學(xué)生扮成劉翔和商人編對(duì)話，結(jié)果學(xué)生積極性非常高，達(dá)到了我所想的語言交流的目的，同時(shí)所設(shè)置的任務(wù)也圓滿完成。最后一部分的群體活動(dòng)是最有特色的。

上課過程中，學(xué)生興趣濃厚，課堂氛圍好。課上到最后，我和學(xué)生都感到彼此心情愉悅。英語課的目的是學(xué)生通過英語學(xué)習(xí)達(dá)到愉快的師生間交流，這對(duì)他們將來的學(xué)習(xí)、生活有一定的指導(dǎo)意義，這也是任務(wù)型教學(xué)的導(dǎo)向。
