张　芳

教学过程

Step 1.Warm-up

1.General greetings.

2.Free talk.

T:There are many famous Chinesestories.SuchasKong Rong and the Pear.Cao Chong weighs an elephant.The story of NanGuo.ThestoryofSima Guang.（PPT出示相应故事的图片）

T:Do you know the story about a rabbit and a tortoise?

Ss:Yes.

T:We know the rabbit is fast,the tortoise is slow.There was a race betweenthem.But in the end the tortoise won the race.Why?Who can try to talk about it in English?

S:Therabbitlaughedat the tortoise and they had a race.The rabbit felt tired and went to sleep.Sothetortoisewonthe race.

T:Verygood.Nowlet’s learn this story.

设计思路：通过谈论《孔融让梨》《曹冲称象》《南郭先生》《司马光砸缸》等学生耳熟能详的中国著名童话故事，自然引出本节课的故事《龟兔赛跑》，并鼓励学生大胆用英语对故事进行简单描述，营造浓浓的阅读氛围，激发学生的阅读欲望，让学生尽快进入学习状态，为下面的故事学习做好充分准备。

Step 2.Presentation

T:OK.Openyourbooks and read the story by yourselves.Afterreading,pleaseanswer three questions.

1.Whathappenedatthe beginning of the story?

2.Whathappenedinthe middle of the race?

3.Whathappenedatthe end of the race?

（PPT上出示三个问题，并附上阅读要求：1.选择适合自己的阅读方式：朗读或者默读；2.注意正确使用阅读技巧，例如抓住重点词或者重点句子。）

设计思路：学生们已经了解这个故事的中文意思，再给他们足够的时间去阅读故事，他们很快就能找出三个问题的答案。学生在读故事的时候，教师适时提醒学生注意正确使用阅读技巧，培养学习策略。

Check for answers.

（1）T:Whathappenedat the beginning of the story?

Ss:Therabbitlaughedat thetortoise.(Showthebig posters of rabbit and tortoise to the students.Stick them on the blackboard.)

板书：The rabbit laughed at the tortoise.

Studentsreadthesentence line by line.

T:So they had a race to the lake.This is a lake.(Show the big poster of the lake to the students.Givestudentssome letters and ask them to try to read.-ake,cake,make,take,lake.LAKE.)

（2）T:Whathappenedin the middle of the race?

Ss:Therabbitwentto sleep under a tree.(Show the poster to the students and stick on the blackboard.)

板书：Therabbitwentto sleep under a tree.

Studentsreadthesentence line by line.

（3）T:What happened at the end of the race?

Ss:Thetortoisewonthe race.(Show the posters of rabbit andtortoisetothestudents.Stick them on the blackboard.)

板书：Therabbitwentto sleep under a tree.

The tortoise won the race.

Readthethreequestions several times.

设计思路：改变之前“师教生学”的教学模式，在回答问题的过程中引导学生将难点各个击破，理解故事的主要情节，让学生在自己解决问题的过程中获得成就感和满足感。其中，新词lake以换字母的形式呈现给学生，不仅帮助学生理解了词意，而且对ae结构的发音规则进行了复习，巧妙夯实了语音知识。整节课的板书由四个大图，三个句子组成，让学生对整个故事一目了然。

Watchaflashandanswer the question:

T:Nowlet’swatchthe flash.Then answer the question:

（PPT出示问题）What did the rabbit learn from this story?

Ss:Being slowandsteady wins the race.

设计思路：“总分总”的教学方法到此环节一目了然，即通过整体自由阅读——设置问题理解——观看动画感悟，把故事完整地呈现给学生，动画能够吸引学生的注意力，让他们带着问题去听故事，巩固对本课内容的掌握。

Step 3.Drill

1.听音模仿，内化知识。

T:We know there is a dialoguebetweentherabbitand the tortoise.I choose some interestingsentences.Listenand imitate.(PPT出示对话)

Rabbit:You are so slow!

Tortoise:You are wrong,I am not slow,but I don’t like to hurry.

Rabbit:Oh,no,I slept too long!I’m sure to win.

Tortoise:I won the race!

Ask the students to perform theshortdialoguewithposters in front of the class.

设计思路：现场完整地表演故事对学生来说难度较大，因此教师只把有特点的几个句子拿出来，让学生细听、模仿，引导学生用心体会乌龟和兔子在说这几句话的时候，他们的心理变化和神态变化，之后让学生戴着头饰把对话生动地表演出来。这样的设计降低了故事表演的难度，更贴近学生的实际，让他们在尽量真实的语境中感知、体验、习得，逐步形成综合语言运用能力。

2.有序推进，引导复述。

Here is a quick way to tell thestorybyusingfirst,then,finally.

Readtheshortparagraph several times and try to recite.(PPT出示短文)

The Tortoise and the Rabbit

First,the rabbit laughed at the slow tortoise.

Then they had a race.The rabbitranfast,butsoonhe went to sleep.

Finally,the tortoise won the race.

Play a game.There are some words missing in the short para－graph,try to read them out.

The____and the Rabbit

First,______laughed at the slow____.

Then they had a____.The rabbit ran____,but____he went____to sleep.

Finally,the____wonthe race.

The___and the____

First,____.

Then,____.

Finally,____.

T:Now can you say something about the story you know?

Ss:OK.The rabbit laughed at the slow tortoise and they had a race to a lake.The rabbit felt tired and went to sleep.The tortoise walked and walked.So the tortoise won the race.

设计思路：学生在理解整个故事并完成表演之后，在教师的引导下能够用三个精要的句子来概括整个故事大意。在游戏环节中，教师用“香蕉引大象”的方式，有计划、有步骤地把小短文中的主要词汇慢慢去掉，让学生进行故事复述，直到最后课件里只剩下first,then,finally三个词……此环节中，学生记忆力得到了锻炼，口语能力得到了提高，阅读兴趣得到了提升。最后，鼓励学生用自己的语言来表述故事，在交流分享中练习口语表达能力。

Step 4.Show time

Discuss:

1.Ifyouweretherabbit,what would you do?

Ss:I would run fast.I would not laugh at the tortoise.I would not sleep under a tree...

2.Ifthetortoiseandthe rabbithavearaceagain,who can win?Why?(Give the students some minutes to discuss)

S1:Thetortoisewon.Because the tortoise took a taxi to the lake.

S2:Thetortoisewon.Because the bird helped the tortoise.They flew to the lake.

S3:Therabbitwon.The rabbit slept again,but he had a clock.The clock rang,so he ran to the lake.

S4:Therabbitwon.The rabbit slept again,but an apple fell down on his head he woke up,he ran to the lake.

...

设计思路：通过两个问题的讨论让学生展开想象的翅膀，发散思维，在问题的引导下创编新故事，为他们创造表达的机会进行情境交流，并借机对他们进行思想教育，即做事要端正态度，全力以赴，不能因循守旧，恃才傲物。以此发展学生的思维品质，使他们获得审美体验，实现文化意识、语言能力、学习能力的全面发展。

Step 5.Homework

1.Read the story by yourself.

2.Tellthestorytoyour parents.

3.Perform the story to your parents or friends.

4.Readmorestorieslike these.（用PPT为学生展示英语阅读推荐书目）

设计思路：分层作业能让不同层次的学生都在原有的基础上有收获、有提高。学生把课内故事延伸到课外，学困生可以读给父母听，学优生可以表演给父母看。此外，教师有意识地鼓励学生进行海量阅读，并提供参考书目。这样的作业既加深了父母与孩子之间的感情，又巩固了知识，真正让知识活起来、用起来。
