Homework

假如你的表弟名叫Jeff, 他今年上初一。请你用英语问一下他最喜欢的科目及原因、该科目的老师是谁、在什么时间上该科目这四个问题。并将你们的问答记录在作业本上。

  

本课时的主题是“谈论自己所喜欢的学科”，主要是学习学科的表达、表示品质的形容词、一周中星期一到星期天的表达方式；学习用because表示理由。在询问“对方所喜欢的学科和人物”、“星期几”时，要使用以前所学过的What、Who疑问句，再学习“询问理由”所用的Why疑问句。教师引导学生通过比较、对照的方法掌握所学疑问句的结构和使用以及回答。

采用自主学习、小组合作探究、Imitating and repeating，Practicing，Comparing和Role playing的学习策略，利用教学图片、幻灯片或制作多媒体课件来展开课堂Pairwork问答式的口语交际活动或调查活动，谈论各自所喜欢的学科或其它的事情并给出理由。通过互相询问和谈论，可以增进学生们与老师之间的了解，增进同学们之间的友情，并能形成学生们尊敬老师、团结同学的良好品质。
