《 9A Unit2 Main Task 》 教学案 课程分析：（本课的作用和学习本课的意义） When I reach the theme connected with coloring, I make a very fascinating discovery-- Colors take on a broad significance when used linguistically.

The current textbook Fun With English（牛津初中英语）, as its name suggests, should have been full of fun. But to my disappointment, it is not up to its users` expectations owing to its editorial principal of linguistic orientation.

Nowadays students of the new age who no longer care for kindergarten stuff, have a great need for good reading matters in authentic English.

The use of the supplementary reading, which is tailor-made, brings about breadth of view and thought. Finding the prescribed work dull, the writing unrewarding and the students` imagination blunted, I turn to the additional reading，one in a poem, the other in a prose, expecting the students to get a kick from. Fun with English is valued by its learners not only for the words and grammar that it might teach, but also for the fun that it gives. Therefore the study of English not merely is the learning of a foreign language but it means a necessary aspect of humanistic study.

English, as any other language in the world, is not just a grammatical structure or a lexical system, it is the outcome of a living form of expression. Linguists lay a stress on the need to see all the four skills as being complementary. The students can not learn to write well unless they are able to read widely and meaningfully. So the so-called passive skill of reading is essential to the development of writing. But writing is less easy to learn and teach.

Because they have used up all their accumulation of vocabulary and variety of expression，they can not advance a step further. In the group work, an individual student just writes short and simple sentences about the Task1 and Task2. Following suit, the others gradually lengthen their writings and make them more complex under the joint effort. Unlike Part1, the two tasks are set to explore their ideas and feelings, rather than just writing about facts. 问题设计 问题: Taking up the Main Task of this unit concerning reading and writing about color and mood, I confine myself to the following points: 1、 Why read? A wide range of reading is the solid basis for writing. When the students read, they can linger on the passages and derive the fun from both images that the pages provide and the artistic language that they can obtain. Insufficient reading of literary English blunts their English writing. 2、 What to read? As far as English teaching is concerned, I feel I am quite
informed of the students' level of English and their reading habits i am all for wide range reading. Not only should they have an enough dosage of text reading but an occasional dip Into poems and prose is necessary, for the latter can help to cultivate a sense of what is good English. And good English is no excuse for poor reading matter. Therefore I choose Mao's poem and Longfellows First Snow which share the common theme of the unit 3. How to read? As for the short passages in the text, I call for the art of skipping or fast read ing. I ad vocate a close reading for the Mao's poem and Longfellow First Snow in which no single word can pass without a grasp of the exact meaning Let the student get to know that the words, phrases and expressions in the poem and prose serve as stones and bricks for the construction of their writing 4. How to write? Read ing goes before writing. But they are closely related. I adopt two kinds of writing----expository and expressive. The partI and part2 of the textbook are mainly concerned with conveying information, and are therefore logical and rigid organized. While Maos poem and Longfellow's prose aim at conveying thoughts and feelings, so they employ figures of speech and make use of imaginative description. By ident ifying the mode of writing, the students learn to jud ge which particular skills are required and to adapt the approaches accordingly 教学构想及目标 知识目标 1. To know how colors are used to depict things and express moods 2. To write a report about moods and colors and what they represent 3. To present a report 能力目标 1. Cultivate the students'artistic taste in the context of the unit's theme 2. Poem-reading and prose- read ing broadens the students literary scope and they learn how Mao and Longfellow convey the theme( colors vs mood )in an creative language 3.

To know how colors are used to depict things and express moods 2. To write a report about moods and colors and what they represent 3.

A wide range of read ing and a new reading matter pose a challenge to some readers 教学方法 Task-based method with the aid of IT. a whiteboard is used to show colorful images and provide distinctive sounds. It helps to get the contents that the PPt carries across 2. A group-discussion is advocated. The students express their opinions and responses in a written form. It allows the teacher to help the students when necessary. The teacher can see who needs particular help in an interactive way. When discussing, one of the students in a group acts as secretary. He or she keeps full notes while the other students sort the lotes and make them better
