Step1 Warming up
Greet Ss by asking them: How are you today? Then I’ll tell Ss that I’m not feeling well today (Write the sentence on the blackboard and guide Ss to read it.) and get Ss to guess the reason freely. If Ss can’t get the answer, I’ll tell them that I didn’t have a good sleep last night. So I have a headache. (I say this by doing a gesture)
設計說明:通過師生間的問候,拉近彼此的距離,使學生快速融入英語課堂。要求學生猜測老師身體不適的原因,從而激發(fā)學生的背景知識,并為之后的知識輸入做好鋪墊。
Step2: Presentation of words about diseases
1. Show Ss a bandage and tell them there is something wrong in the place where the bandage lies. Then get Ss to guess the health problems. When I do an action, ask Ss: “What’s the matter?”(write it on the blackboard) For example, when I put the bandage on the stomach, ask Ss: “What’s the matter with me?” Help Ss say: “I’m not feeling well. I have a stomachache.” Then teach the other target words: fever, sore throat, toothache, sore back in the following way: Put the bandage on the other part of body and get students to ask: What’s the matter? Then get other Ss to guess the problem.
2. Use body language to guide Ss to guess another two names of diseases: cold, cough.
3. Show Ss pictures of diseases half hidden, and get Ss to guess the names of diseases: fever, sore throat, toothache, sore back, cold, cough.
設計說明:老師在課堂上出示醫(yī)療用具-繃帶,能充分喚起學生的好奇心,
使其積極地參與到教學活動中。通過繃帶所綁的不同位置和肢體語言,自然地引出有關疾病的單詞。這種教學單詞的方式簡單而且直觀,更易被學生接受。八年級學生喜歡猜測的活動,所以,運用半遮圖片可以讓學生鞏固所學的單詞。
Step3: Pair work
Put the bandage on the part of a student’s body and ask: “What’s matter?” and guide him to use the pattern: I’m not feeling well. I have a… Then ask Ss to work in pairs and talk about health problems by using the bandage given and using the target language: What’s the matter? I’m not feeling well. I have a …
設計說明:八年級學生的表演欲望強,所以,在結對活動中,為每一小組提供繃帶,這樣可以激發(fā)學生的參與性,擴大參與面,使更多的學生開口說英語。
Step4 Presentation of expressions of giving advice
1. Tell Ss that I have a cold/cough, ask them: What should I do? Ss may give different answers, collect their answers and help them to use: You should/shouldn’t do… Then show some pictures of other diseases mentioned before and ask them to give advice to each problem by using target language: You should/shouldn’t do… During this activity, some phrases will be learned: lie down and rest, drink hot tea with honey, see a dentist, drink lots of water, take some medicine.
2. Show Ss two bags. In one bag, there are pieces of paper with problems while in the other one, there are pieces of paper with advice. Have a competition between boys and girls. Take turns to get paper. For example, one boy gets one paper with problem, and one girl get one paper with advice. The girl should say: What’s the matter with you? The boy should answer the question according to the problem he got by saying: I’m not feeling well. I have a…If the girl got the right advice, she should answer it according to her paper: You should… If it is not, she should say: You shouldn’t, then give the right advice. The one who makes right sentence can get one point.
設計說明:向學生展現(xiàn)有關疾病的圖片,這樣不僅可以幫助學生復習新知,而且還可以自然地引入新的話題— 針對疾病給建議。然后,通過在男女間開展說疾病給建議的配對游戲,激發(fā)學生的參與熱情,并鞏固句型。同時,使學生增長相關常識,加強健康意識。
Step5 Making a conversation
Show Ss the picture in Section A 3a, ask them to look at the picture, and suppose they are the doctor, what they will ask the patient. Collect Ss’ answers and lead in the sentence: When did it start? Show the sample dialogue and ask Ss to complete it according to the picture orally.
A: What’s the matter with you?
B: I’m not feeling well. I have a _______.
A: When did it start?
B: About______ ago.
A: Oh, that’s too bad. / I’m sorry to hear that. You should/shouldn’t ________ and you should/shouldn’t ________...
B: Yes, I think so.
