Part 1

上课时可以用以前学过的句型问大家，What’s the weather like today? Is it sunny? Is it cloudy? Is it rainy?紧接着，教师拿出一些相关的天气图片给大家看，并对大家说，Now, look here.I’ve got many pictures.What are they?然后，让学生一张一张地复习已会的单词。在学生比较熟练掌握单词后，拿出几个新的单词图片说，Look, It’s drizzling.Do you know “drizzling”“?毛毛细雨”It’s drizzling.Now use this picture to answer my question.What’s the weather like in this picture?教师可以问几遍，然后再学习新的单词。如：foggy, dry, clear, humid, thundering 等。教师给出中文意思的时候，不必说整句话，只需给出某个单词的意思即可。之后，教师可以教新的句型。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?说此句子的时候要特别强调句子中的was, yesterday.如果有学生举手发言，就可以跟该学生进行问答。教师边说边把两个问句写在黑板上，然后用彩色粉笔标出不同之处，同时给出不同的答语。当学生能明白句子时，对学生说，Now I want you to practice the questions and answers in pairs.练习后，教师说Now which pair wants to do in class?

Part 5

目的在于扩大学生有关天气的相关知识。教师在教此部分时，一定要以朗读和理解为主，没有必要让学生记住文章中的所有单词，特别是没有必要逐字逐句翻译成汉语。如有些意思不好用英语解释时，可以适当给出该短语的中文意思。

Part 6

可以让学生表演小对话。由于这一部分没有太多难点，可直接让学生两人一组进行练习。

练习一可以让学生以小组为单位进行竞赛。先让学生分组拼出单词，然后将所拼出的词写在黑板上。每拼对一个词给10分，最后算总分。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.在学生以小组为单位拼写的时候，教师可以在黑板上标出每个小组的地盘，准备让每组的学生拼写用。

练习二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：由于第三级涉及的内容较多，词汇量较大，建议教师每单元用5个课时完成。4个课时之后，留一部分作为家庭作业或下次在课堂上继续完成。

教学活动：

教学活动1

Make a telephone call.上课时，教师让一个学生站到最前面，另一个站到教室的最后面，表示两个人在不同的城市用“电话”谈论天气，可以使用所学过的有关天气的单词。教师要适当地给学生一些指导。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。在学生表演的时候，教师可以让学生复习地名、国名等。教师可以用英语这样说，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.教学活动2

Let’s guess the word on the blackboard.教师事先准备若干个有关天气的单词卡或图片。上课时，教师对大家说，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.第一轮完成之后，教师可以将所有的卡片重新安排一遍，再继续第二个学生。Finally we’ll see which group has got more points than others.课后作业：

上课时可以用学生们较熟悉的内容来引出话题。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? 然后问，What’s your favourite season? 如果学生能回答上来的话，教师就可以继续问几个学生。如果学生不知道如何回答时，教师就可以问，Do you like spring? Do you like summer? 此时，教师还可以问一些相关的问题，How many seasons are there in a year? What are they? What’s your favourite season? 在学生回答问题的基础上，教师可以让学生猜谜语。教师说，Good!Now I want you to guess some riddles.Which season is it?教师可以分别说出第三部分的谜语，让学生猜。猜完之后，可以让大家听录音，并让学生跟着录音带一起朗读本部分的小短文。由于此部分没有多少单词，所以教师可以让学生熟读此段内容。在此基础上，对学生说，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„接下来将本单元第四部分的故事讲完。讲故事时，不要让学生看书，同时尽量使用身体语言和手势，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.本单元为有一些用于朗读的小段子。教师可以将这些内容分别处理。比如第五部分比较容易，教师可以让学生直接朗读。而第六部分，则可以让学生每人试着读。教师可以这样对学生说，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.最后教师让学生朗读，然后再让学生听录音，一起跟着朗读。

本单元为学生设计了很多谈话的内容，比如第二部分和练习

一、练习三。在适当的时候，教师可以安排学生两人一组进行交谈。练习四的单词并不太难，学生可以自己学会该内容。教师关键在于把握好学生活动的时间与节奏，随时进行调整。

如果时间不够可以省去本单元的第八部分。第五、六部分也只限于朗读为止。教师在课堂上没有必要做过多的解释。

如何导入教学？

单元教学活动1 Look, ask and write.a）上课后，教师拿出已经准备好的大挂历，展示过后，教师说，“I‟ve got some really beautiful pictures.Please guess, how many pictures have I got?”学生应能猜出“Twelve”.接着，教师再问：“How many months(板书)are there in a year?” 学生也能说出 “Twelve” 教师可以继续说：“Ok, now let‟s see what they are.”教师拿出第一张挂历说：“Look, this is January.”教师结合挂历上的内容简单讲一讲，争取提高他们的兴趣。然后教师再问：“Who was born in January? Please stand up.Let‟s see how many of us were born in January.”接着，教师用类似的方法带出第二月，第三月，第四月等。等说完十二个月后，教师带着大家读这十二月的英语名称。在熟悉这些词的基础上，教师说：“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.”教师带着大家一起玩，并在给出几次指令之后，请学生来给指令：“Who can come here and say this?”

b)下一步，教师可以带着学生一起唱Happy Birthday Song.唱完后，教师问，“When is your birthday, who can answer? 等学生回答后，教师再问，“On which date?”并鼓励引导学生说出答句，教师示范几组对话后，观察学生的反应情况，在学生都可以进行问答的时候，教师让学生在书上的月份下写上自己的名字。然后，两人一组做对话练习。学生可以根据自己的实际情况进行替换。为了让学生多说英语，教师允许学生下座位继续问同学的生日时间，边问边把他们的名字写在正确月份的蛋糕上。c)教师问：“Who was born in January? Please stand up.”让该月出生的学生站起来后教师说：“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.”教师依次说出各个月份，并附带上一些指示语言，目的是让学生通过活动记住这些月份的英语单词。

单元教学活动2 Read, look and choose 第二部分是阅读，并为自己家里的人挑选生日礼物。在学生不看书的情况下，教师可以将书本上的话在说给大家听，然后再让大家打开书，分别给每个人挑选一件礼物。最好能让学生说为什么要给他挑选手表或其他物品。学生先画出连线，然后再两人一组相互说自己为他们每个人选的礼物。教师可以引导学生这样说：“ I choose the watch for my father, because my father works in an office.He needs the time very much.”在学生练习的基础上，教师可以请一些学生说给大家听。

单元教学活动3 A mini play 第三部分是有关生日的对话。在此部分之前，教师可以问学生几个问题，以启发学生思考，“What do you usually do to celebrate your birthday? What do you often do at your birthday party?” 这时可以先将一些生日聚会中的活动的英文表达方式介绍给学生，要求学生掌握。进入该部分时，教师可以先帮助学生检查是否有不会念的词汇。教师先采取A、B组的形式来对话，然后再采取男、女生的形式，最后让两人一组进行练习。如果有些学生很快就熟悉了，教师可以给他们做示范的机会

单元教学活动4 Listen, read and answer 第四部分是阅读理解练习。教师可以让学生自己阅读并根据要求回答问题。教师要提醒大家回答的时候不要超过三个词，“No more than three words”，越简洁越好。最后，教师组织大家说出答案。

单元教学活动5 Read and write 第五部分是培养学生写单句的能力。学生只需写出一个比较正确的句子就可以了。可以模仿所给的例句写

单元教学活动6 Listen and chant 第六部分是说说唱唱。由于本段的说唱比较容易，教师需多带着学生读几遍，以达到背诵的目的。本题中的问题，也只希望学生能模仿句型，教师不需给学生解释句法结构，只要学生照着说就可以了。说唱完之后，教师可以请学生两人一组进行该句型的对话练习并表演。

单元教学活动7 Read, look and do 第七部分是让学生根据所读的句子要求做一个手工装饰。学生既可以做秋天的装饰，也可以做冬天的装饰，只要能反映出主题及季节就可以。此活动可以在课下做，上课时进行展览。

单元教学活动8 Listen and sing 第八单元是歌曲部分。教师可以带着大家先说后唱，边唱边跳，甚至可以变换一些队形来表演这段歌曲 知识扩展

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
