Unit 4 Why don’t you talk to your parents?
【教材分析】:
本课例选自新目标GO FOR IT八年级下 Unit 4 Section B3a-3b。由于教材中的写作任务是杂志社采访家长有关于学生课外辅导班的看法,让学生以家长的身份运用阅读文章中的语言写信表达意见。为了使写作活动更加具有实际意义,让学生有话可写,我把写作活动改编成学生根据自身的客观情况写信给父母或是朋友,针对课外辅导班表达自己的观点,使写作活动更具有语用功能。
【教学目标】:
1.学生能运用不同的句型陈述自己的观点和理由。
2.学生能正确使用could, should 表达建议。
3.学生能正确使用连词来连接上下文。
【教学重难点】:
1. 如何为学生搭建写作的支架,让学生有话可写,有目的地去写
2. 如何让学生学会使用不同的句型陈述不同的理由。
【教学过程】

T:what do I often do after work?

Step 2: Lead in
Task: Have a quiz about after-school classes
