教学过程

Step 1：Pre-reading

1.Greetings and free-talk

Hello,boys and girls!I’m your English teacher today.Nice to meet you.You can call me MissZhou.Iwantto know something about you.What’s your name?When is your birthday?And when is your mother’s/father’s birthday?

设计意图：由于教师是借班上课，在一开始通过简单的交流，拉近师生的距离，同时也复习了前两课时关于序数词的知识，为后面的学习做好铺垫。

2.Warm-up and lead-in

（1）brain storm

T:Here are the 26 English letters.Which is the first/seventh/fifteenth/twenty-third?(学生看图抢答)

设计意图：通过快速反应找出26个英文字母的位置，答对后，全班一起从第一个开始用英语数。通过快节奏反应进一步巩固了学生序数词的英文表达，同时激发了其学习兴趣。

(2)Watch a short video:

T:Let’s watch a short video:“The kittens growing”

T:What animals do you see?Can you remember?

T:We can see the cats,we call the baby cat kitten.Kittens will grow up into cats.Today,our topic is about growing.See how they grow.

设计意图：通过看小猫从出生到成长的过程，一方面激发了学生学习英语的兴趣，一方面让学生对小猫成长过程有一定的了解，并为学习本课内容做好铺垫，在一定程度上帮助学生理解文章。

Step 2：While-reading

1.Lead-in

T:Sarah likes animals very much.She has a cat.The cat has two babies.How do we call baby cats?

T:Sarah likes kitten very much.So she keeps diaries about them.

2.About dairy

Show the diary and read the dates.

T:These are Sarah’s diaries.There are four days,so can you read the dates?

3.Task1:Read the text quickly and choose the photo for every diary.

T:AndSarah often takes photos.For every dairy,there is photo.Can you arrange them?

设计意图：通过快速阅读Sarah的四篇日记，并给出相应的简单任务，让学生对全篇日记有大概了解。

4.While-reading

(1)The firstdiary（Listen and say）

T:Look at the first photo.What’s the date?

T:OnApril15th,what colour are they?Can they see?Let’s listen together.

设计意图：通过“听”引导学生找出小猫成长的关键词，检测学生对课文的理解程度以及培养其从文中获取信息的能力。

（2） The second/third/fourth diary

The second diary:

T:After some days,they grow up,so how old are the kittens on April 21st?

T:What do they do when they’re hungry?(播放猫叫的吵闹声，帮助学生理解生词make noises)

T:What are they like?(解释fur，并稍作实例解释)

设计意图：通过问答找出关于小猫成长的关键词句，既调动学生的思维，又很轻巧地解决了文中的难点。

（3）The third diary

Listen and follow(这一部分内容较简单，所以由学生听音跟读，自己体会)

（4）The fourth diary

Listen and fill in the blanks.

T：Time flies,the kittens are growingand growing,whatcan they do now?Please listen and fill in the blanks.

Eg:The kittenscan walk now.They can play with Robin.

设计意图：通过“听”，让学生完成短篇填空，可以轻松检测学生听的效果。

(5)Read and act

T：Let’s read the diaries after the tape.

T：Please read it by yourself.

设计意图：在学生理解文本内容后，让他们听录音跟读，并注意语音、语调和语速，这样有利于培养学生良好的发音习惯。之后让学生自由地读一读故事，选择一则日记声情并茂地在全班展示朗读，教师适当对学生的语音、语调进行指导，激发了学生的阅读兴趣。

Step 3：Post-reading

1.Writing task

T:Imagine today is October 15th,so how old are the kittens?

T：Yes,so what are they like and what can they do?Try to imagine and write a diary for today.

2.Show your diary

设计意图：让学生想象六个月后小猫的成长变化，教师给出图片提示，开拓学生的思维、发展想象能力并学着写日记。实现语言学习由输入到输出，学生既巩固了所学内容，又提升了写的能力。
