Step 1. Greetings and warming up

Ss： Yes， we do.

T： Do you like having it？

Ss： Yes， we do. We like having an Art Festival.（Help Ss answer like this）

…

T： Do we have a Movie Festival at our school？

S1： No， we don’t.

T： Do you like seeing movies？

S1： Yes， I do.

…

（以學生的校園生活實際為素材，又能結合最近的電影節話題，體現了教學內容的生活化和新穎性，這樣更能引起學生的興趣。同時在復習已學句型的基礎上，自然引出本課時的話題。）

T： I also like seeing movies， so we can hold（舉辦） a Movie Festival at our school. But what kind of movies do you know？

T： I will show you some movie posters， and please tell me what kind of movies it is？

S2： Comedy.

T： Yes， it’s a comedy.（多媒體出現兩張同類型電影海報）They’re comedies.

Present other new words in the same approach： a thriller-thrillers， a documentary-documentaries， an action movie-action movies， a romance-romances， Beijing Opera.

（先讓學生自由發揮，說出已知電影的類型，然后再呈現補充新的知識點。每個單詞都以單復數形式同時出現，是為了下文的準確表達做準備。呈現單詞時，應以形象、直觀的方式盡可能加深學生的印象，并能關注單詞的使用。）

Step2. A memory challenge

Show the pictures of movies quickly one by one and let Ss say out what kind of movie it is in a sudden. After that， show the new words on the screen both in singular and plural forms.

T： I like comedies. What kind of movies do you like？

S1： I like thrillers.

S2：…

（及時復現所學詞匯，進行鞏固強化，并能結合句型進行初步操練。）

T： Well， people have different tastes on things. And I want to go to a movie this Tuesday. Do you want to go to a movie with me？

Step3. Pairwork

T： What about others？ Now work in pairs to make conversations like this：

Sample1

A： Do you want to go to a movie？

B： Yes， I do. I want to go to a movie.

A： What kind of movies do you like？

B：I like cartoons.

A： Well， let’s see a cartoon.

Sample2

A： Do you want to go to a movie？

B： No， I don’t. I don’t want to go to a movie.

（Sample1用到了本課時的兩個目標語言，既有一般疑問句又有特殊疑問句，讓學生能對比正確回答，同時在回答時再次鞏固詞匯，名詞的單復數形式都得以體現。）

Step4. Listening

T： My friends Ben and Sally also like movies. Do you want to know what kind of movies they like？ First let’s guess what kind of movies they like？

（Let Ss guess like this）

S1： I think she likes…

S2：…

（聽力前猜測策略的運用，能降低聽力難度，讓學生做好心理準備，并且再次口頭操練目標詞匯。）

T： You have guessed what they like. Now let’s listen and find whether you are right or not.

Let Ss Listen and work on 2a/2b.

Step5. Practice

After checking answers in 2b， asking：

T： What kind of movies does Ben like？

Ss： Ben likes comedies， and he likes documentaries. But he doesn’t like thrillers. （Help them answer like this）

T： What about Sally？

Ss： Sally likes documentaries， but she doesn’t like action movies.

Let Ss write down what they like and dislike. Then ask 2-3 students to tell out and let the third person to retell.

（以轉述形式，主要是復習鞏固動詞的第三人稱單數形式。在多媒體上著重顯示“like（s）… and likes…； like（s） …but doesn’t like…”句型，讓學生對連詞and 與but進行正確運用。在這里，以聽，說，寫的形式再次強化重點詞匯，讓學生在句型練習中，深刻體會詞匯的用法，且為下一個環節奠定基礎。）

Step6. Presentation

T： Thank you for telling me so much about yourself. For me， I like comedies because I think they’re funny. I don’t like thrillers， because they’re…

（在引出“funny”、 “scary”、 “sad”、“exciting”這四個詞時，借助QQ表情來介紹詞匯，這樣對學生的吸引力更強，學生對新單詞的印象也會更深。如果時間允許，還可以讓學生來示范相應的表情。）

Step7. Survey

T： Most of us like seeing movies and want to have a Movies Festival in our school. Now work in groups to make a survey. Ask your members what kind of movies they like and dislike， write down the reasons at the same time. Then each group chooses one student to make a report.

According to the report， we can decide（決定） what kind of movies we will show in the Movie Festival.

A： What kind of movies do/don’t you like？ Why？/why not？

B： I like/don’t like…because…

（通過這個環節，對目標語言進行綜合運用，體現英語學習“學以致用”原則。）

Step8. Summary

Can you classify the words and sentence structures？ Let’ try.

Structure（句型）

（以概括分類形式對本課時的重點內容進行測試，考查學生課堂掌握情況。）
