教材分析

“读与说”（Reading and speaking）部分介绍了一个出售特殊礼物、帮助发展中国家的网页。“听与说”（Listening and speaking）部分通过记者对一个无国界医生志愿者的采访，让学生更多地了解发展中国家和志愿者活动。

学情分析

1. 学生已有知识和经验：学生在日常生活中对志愿者活动有所了解，但对国外的志愿者活动和有关的网站较陌生，学生缺乏对志愿者活动有关话题的英语词汇表达积累，阅读能力和听力有待提高。

2. 学生学习方法和技巧：学会运用多种阅读技巧浏览、精读和信息匹配等，提高阅读能力。能听懂采访的大意和关键信息并进行话题讨论。

3. 学生个性发展和群体提高：积极思考问题，探讨问题，开阔视野，通过添加礼物的活动培养创造性思维。学会小组合作，积极发表看法，共同解决问题，培养团队精神。通过竞赛活动培养竞争精神。                    

 教学目标

1. 知识与技能：能使用有关帮助弱者、志愿服务、合作共享的词汇和表达。能掌握阅读文章结构、大意和关键细节。能听懂有关话题对话并进行话题讨论。

2. 文化与策略：通过学习课文、听采访等，了解到世界上很多地方特别是一些发展中国家依然很落后，知道有一些网站和国际组织的扶贫救困活动。

3. 情感与态度：懂得同情，学会分享。知道能通过各种渠道力所能及地帮助贫困地区的人们，培养学生扶贫救困的爱心和社会责任感，同时也感受到志愿者的苦与乐。

教学重点和难点

 Using Language是对Reading的延伸。通过阅读，参与“Give an unusual gift”的活动。  Listening and speaking通过听Mary Murray作为MSF的一个医生志愿者的工作经历这一话题展开讨论活动。教学重点是掌握有关志愿者活动、扶贫济困话题的英语口语表达和听力练习的完成。教学难点是个别长难的单词和句子对阅读理解和听力有影响，如何展开讨论活动。
