I’m more outgoing than my sister. (Section A)

［设计理念］

在中学的英语课堂上，开展活动具有很大的挑战性，需要在实际操作中对教材进行重新整合，并要根据学生的环境和接受能力来开展行之有效的任务和活动。同时利用多媒体和网络技术，帮助解决教学难题。这样，为学生创设真实可视的英语学习环境，能激发学生积极参与的欲望，引起学生的共鸣和兴趣。

［教材分析］

    学习内容主要体现在以下3点：

1、              学习有关人物特点的单词： short hair, outgoing, quiet, funny, serious, smart, athletic, ect.

2、              学习人物比较的重要句型：

（1）    Pedro is funnier than Paul.

（2）    Tina is taller than Tara.

（3）    Tom is more athletic than Sam.

3、              掌握语法点：the comparative and superlative degrees of adjectives(形容词的比较级和最高级)

［学生分析］

1、              学生对单音节和多音节形容词的比较级和最高级的表达上总是出现错误。通过对本课的学习可以巩固所学知识，掌握用正确的语言结构表达人物特点和人物比较。

［教学目标］

1、              谈论学生感兴趣的话题，指导学生学习有关人物特点的单词、人物比较的表达及语法知识点“形容词的比较级和最高级”。

2、              学生根据班级的真实情况，采用“名人专访”、“公众投票”、“明日之星”的游戏，培养学生的想象力、自信心和合作精神。

3 培养学生的口头表达能力、阅读理解能力和写作能力。

［教学过程］

    Step 1 Lead-in

T：I have a sister. Can you guess what she looks like and what she is like? (Show them you are waiting.)

S：She is tall. /She is thin. / She has long hair./She is easygoing./…(Students use their imagination and express themselves freely.)

T：Let’s look at our photos. (Show them on the screen.) Please talk about us.

S：She is shorter than you. /She has shorter hair than you. /She is thinner than you. /… (Students get information from the photos.)

T：I’m more outgoing than my sister.（Lead in the class subject.）

利用学生的心理和想象空间，调动学生的学习兴趣。了解学生对已学过的形容词比较级和最高级的掌握程度，为下一步巩固学习做好铺垫。

Step 2 Revision

1 Revise adjectives describing people’s appearance and personality:

Divide the class into four groups and have a competition. See which group of the students can get as much as possible. Write down on a piece of paper prepared before class. (Students must collect them before class.)

2、  Show some photos about famous persons and talk about their personal traits, using description words, such as short hair/long hair, curly hair/straight hair, tall/short, heavy/thin, funny/serious, outgoing/quiet, smart/foolish, beautiful/ugly, intelligent/lazy, friendly/unfriendly …etc, on the screen.

［1、复习已学内容，自然延伸到新课学习。2、开展竞赛活动，既可调动课堂气氛，又可提高求知欲望。］

Step 3 Presentation

1、          Learn some new words about personal traits: calm/wild, athletic/weak，  using the pictures of 3 pairs of twins in Section A.

T: Who is calmer, Tom or Sam?

S: Tom is calmer than Sam. Sam is wilder than Tam.

Tom is more athletic than Sam. Sam is weaker than Tom.

2、          Get students to introduce the rules of the comparative and superlative degrees of adjectives.(Show them on the screen.)

［1、进行词汇教学，词不离句2、让学生归纳总结语法知识点

Step 4 Listening

1、  Listen to the tape and number the pictures in 1b.

2、  Listen to the tape and complete the chat in 2a. Listen again and fill in chat in 2b.

3、  Check the answers.

［听力训练既是对知识的巩固，也为下一步的任务输出提供了输入材料。］

Step 5 Practice

Task 1: Interview famous persons（Pair work）

1、Demonstrate the activity with one student. (Imagine he/she is a famous person. The teacher acts as a reporter.)

eg.T: Hello, Susan. May I ask you some questions about your family?

2、Get Ss to design their future and have a free talk.
