I、选择填空。
教学内容：Unit3 Why do you like koalas? 复习课说课
学生分析：通过Go for it七上的学习，大部分学生对why/what/where引导的特殊疑问句已具备较强的听说能力，而本单元围绕animals的教学活动贴近学生生活，学生有强烈的兴趣和好奇心，使他们产生了解的欲望，有利于引导他们自主学习。本单元的教学内容我是用了三节课完成，又用了第四节来复习。七班的学生大部分性格偏内向，不喜欢表达和展现自己，但大部分同学有一定的英语基础，通过教师的恰当引导，能完成教学任务。
教材分析：本单元的 topic是animals, 要求学生掌握一些新的动物名词，学会用表示性质和品质的形容词来描述动物，并能用Why do you like? Because. 来陈述喜欢的原因。通过讨论动物，让学生了解大自然，增长地域知识，增进对自然环境的情感;通过讨论自身的喜好及原因，提高学生的认知和思维能力。教材在第一、第二单元的基础上对已有的语言项目进行拓展，符合学生的认知规律，循序渐进。
教学重难点：根据本节课的教学内容和学生对知识的理解程度，结合本课的教学目标与学习目标，确定本节课的重点是在交际活动的过程中运用句型Why do you like? Where are they from? What do they like? 难点为重点句型的实际运用及why/what/where引导的问句的表达方式。
教学准备：教师制作ppt ; 课前布置学生想一想自己喜欢的动物，并简单陈述理由。
教学过程：
Step 1. Warming up
Play a song named Doremi.
T: Did you hear a kind of animal in the song?
S: Deer.
T: Yes, you are great. Do you like animals? Do you like to play with animals? Do you like to look after animals? Our zoo needs a zoo keeper! Can you be a good zoo keeper? You should first pass four stages.
设计说明：用学生熟悉的歌曲Doremi 引出动物。整节课设计成闯关游戏，成为我们动物园最棒的动物管理员, 最大限度的激起学生的兴趣。
Step2. Guessing
T：A good zoo keeper must be familiar with all kinds of animals. First, we want to know if you can name these animals. I/ll show you many pictures of animals, but its not a whole picture, only a part of the animal. Try to guess what animal it is.
T: Show the pictures of the animals to the Ss, let them guess. The eight kinds of animals are all listed.
设计说明：Stage 1 Can you name these animals? 第一关设计的是根据动物的某个部位猜测是哪一种动物，复习单元中的八种动物并要求学生spell it out. 学生们的积极性空前高涨，对于猜图游戏，有时他们比较熟悉的动物，即使班级中基础不是很好的学生也饶有兴趣，既可以训练学生的观察力和记忆力，同时又不知不觉操练了新单词，鼓励他们开口说英语。
Step2 Looking and matching
T: You did a very good job in Stage 1, maybe Stage 2 is a bit difficult. Are you ready? Lets go! In Stage 2, you should tell me where these animals come from.
设计说明：Stage 2 Do you know these animals come from? 第二关设计的是 你知道这些动物来自于那里吗?让学生操练两个句型，Where are they from? Where do they come from? 唤起学生对以前学的国家、大洲的名词的记忆。当学生完成一关的任务后，教师会让播放一段掌声，良好的评价更能激励学生们向前进!
Step 3 Asking and answering
T: In this stage, we want to know if you can feed the animals well. I think a good zoo keeper must give the right food to the animals, so look carefully and make your decision.
Ask the Ss work in pairs to make a dialogue about their favorite animals.
A: Whats your favorite animal?
B: ... are my favorite animals
A: Why do you like them?
B: Because they are very/kind of .
A: What other animals do you like?
B: I like ..
A: Why?
B: Because I think theyre .
设计说明：Stage 3 Do you know what they like? 要成为一名好的动物管理员，必须知道给动物们投喂正确的食物。 配对游戏培养学生的观察思维能力，学生眼、耳、脑并用，激发学习潜能。What do they like eating? 设计成chain practice, 把话语权还给学生, 学生是活动的主体。学生操练 what do they like ? What is your favorite animal? Why do you like them? What other aniamls do you like? 在这一活动中，待学生能熟练使用动物名词和形容词后，加入句型的练习，使枯燥的对话操练变得有血有肉，丰富多彩。
Step 4 An activity Help the visitors!
T: Its time to show youselves! If you were a really zoo keeper in the zoo, you should help the visitors. Make a conversation with one student as a model.
设计说明：这个环节联系上单元的asking and showing the way, 根据一张动物园的地图， 创设情境，让学生把知识融会贯通，用所学知识解决实际问题，培养他们在现实生活中使用英语的能力。
Step 5 Homework
Let the students discuss a good route to visit the zoo according to the picture the teacher showed in class.
教学反思：本节课用闯关游戏来贯穿，To be a good zoo keeper! 四关游戏都紧扣本单元和前几个单元的知识内容，精心设计的活动，积极创设能让学生主动交流的语言环境，把课本材料还原成活生生的交际语言，既紧扣了教材，又抛开了教材，然后再回到教材。 学生们在本节课上的表现也可圈可点，因为活动量比较大，课堂操练的面也较广，但因为涉及的内容都是学生比较熟悉和感兴趣的，在老师的鼓励下，即是基础较差的学生都愿意开口说，有话说。每个学生进入活动角色，积极用英语思维，通过各种活动形式，把书本知识内化为实实在在的语言交际能力。本节课任务与任务之间相互关联，并体现层层递进。随着课堂进程的发展，任务在其语言知识的难度上、内容的拓展上、能力的训练上、意义的启发上都体现了渐进性、发展性，使整节课教学任务一气呵成。
