八年级牛津英语 Unit 4 Wild animals 单元分析及课时教案
【教材分析】
本单元的主要话题是野生动物的保护。开篇部分通过Eddie和Hobo这两个卡通人物的对话，向我们暗示了野生动物们面临挨饿的境地，从而导入保护它们这一主题；接着展示了一些珍稀野生动物的图片。阅读部分主要介绍了大熊猫幼仔的早期生活以及它的成长过程，由于人类对大自然环境的破坏导致了它濒临危及的困境，教育人类要保护自然生态环境，不要捕杀野生动物，并要采取一些保护大熊猫的措施。词汇部分介绍了一些野生动物的名称以及有关动物的生活习性。语法部分仍然以保护野生动物为载体，讲解条件状语从句的两种情形，一是可能性的结局；二是对可预测性的结局，以及运用because 和because of 表示原因。综合技能部分通过听老虎和狼的情况，学习并运用描写野生动物外貌、性格、能力、食物以及面临危险的词汇和句型。语音部分着力培养学生对句子中升降调的理解。Main task 部分是先给学生阅读一篇有关国宝熊猫生存状况的文章，然后要求学生模仿写出类似的有关熊的文章，训练学生听、说、读、写的能力。本单元的check out主要进一步帮助学生掌握if 条件句，和because引导的原因状语从句以及表示野生动物的名词。

【教学重难点】
教学重点是掌握各种野生动物的名称以及相关的词汇和短语；正确识别并能运用条件状语从句谈论可能出现的情况；区别并能运用 “because” 和“because of “表示原因。教学难点是对大熊猫的成长过程及一些保护措施的了解和掌握，以及完成一篇有关介绍大熊猫的报告。
【学情分析和教学建议】
本单元的话题-保护野生动物是学生熟悉而感兴趣的话题，一些珍稀动物的名称学生也基本上学过，不过对于野生动物所面临的危险，学生还缺乏这个意识，或者是这方面认识还不全面、不深刻。因此教师在教学设计与课堂教学过程中要准备充分的材料，从而让学生提高保护野生动物的思想意识。
在教学方法上，教师可以采用Role-playing; Cooperating; Pre-reading; While-reading; Post-reading; brainstorming; listening for special information等教学、学习策略，正确利用好教学图片以及多媒体课件展开课堂教学体现教学过程中学生的参与活动work alone, Pair work, Group work, Discussion. 词汇教学可以通过图片或多媒体进行，以原有知识带动新知识，并在教学词汇是，进行必要的句子教学或小篇段教学，使词汇教学不孤立。Integrated skills这一部分在教学前要为听力活动做一些铺垫教学，明确听的目的,激发兴趣和欲望,熟悉话题,处理关键词，强调对主要信息的获取（input）和输出（output）。阅读教学主要强调整体教学，把握文章结构，复述、模仿描述为主。写作教学是这一单元的综合运用，可以先给学生理清一个提纲，再让学生进行口头表述，或填空造句，模仿写作等。语法教学要创设情景，模仿操练，在运用中总结规律。
