课程分析:这是一篇关于一个西方小孩帮助一个盲人老太太去找他的女儿家的故事。通过学习这篇课文，学生对英雄这一词产生全新的认。只要你有一颗助人为乐的心，只要你乐意帮助别人帮助，你就能成为一名英雄.

学情分析：设计这堂课时要着重从激发学生兴趣出发，采用灵活多样的训练方式.引导学生进行自主学习，合作探究，鼓励他们勇于开口大胆发言，进一步培养他们的听、说、读、写、译的能力。

设计理念：创设问题情景，引导学生动口说，动脑思，动手写，并不时的加以鼓励使学生克服不敢开口讲英语的恐惧心理，真正体现英语的交际工能，使学生真正成为学习的主人，让他们在使用英语的过程中去学习英语掌握英语从而真正提高学生的听、说、读、写、译的能力。

学习目标：

1.掌握以下词汇和短语：scary,slide, leave…behind, squeeze,disbelief, fling, melt into,something didn’t feel right, no problem。

2.能够结合本文内容口头表达个人观点，将课文内容编成小短剧进行表演，以达到实际交际的目的。

教学流程：

一、(Lead-in)

Introduce the topic of the lesson by asking the students the following question.Who is the hero in your mind? The students may give some examples of heroes such as Huang Jiguang、Dong Cunrui、Liu Hulan and so on.Of course, you are not heroes compared with them, and I am not a hero, either.So that is the topic we are going to talk about today.Do you want to be a hero？and what will you do to be a hero？

（点评：通过创设问题情景引出本文主题，把学生的注意力引到新课中来。同时又为学生设置了悬念从而激起了学生的兴趣和好奇心。）

二、Listening and fast reading

If you want to know how to be a hero, you will know the answer after learning the text.First I’d ask you to listen to the tape-recording of the text and read the text quickly and then answer the following questions:

1.What did the boy notice when walking home from school?

2.How did the boy know that the old woman was blind?

3.Where is the old woman going?

4.What did the old woman do while they walked?

5.How did the old woman’s daughter respond to the arrival of her mother?

6.What did the old woman’s daughter say to the child when he left?

7.Do you think the little boy is a hero?

（点评：通过听录音可以培养学生的听力，同时又可使学生纠正自己对某些单词不正确的发音。通过快速阅读和寻找问题答案，使学生能整体理解课文，培养学生的快速阅读能力和从文中迅速提取信息的能力。）
