Step 1: Lead-in
1. Enjoy a song.
T: Good morning, boys and girls. Just now, we listened to a song—Long Long Ago. Can you tell me what tense is used in the song?
S: Simple Past Tense.
T: Good. As this is the second period of Simple Past Tense, I hope you’ll be able to talk about your weekend activities and express your ideas in real situations after this lesson.
【設(shè)計(jì)意圖】學(xué)生欣賞歌曲并跟伴奏學(xué)唱英文歌Long Long Ago,激活話題背景知識(shí)。利用熱身活動(dòng)激發(fā)學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)興趣和競(jìng)爭(zhēng)意識(shí),激活學(xué)生關(guān)于過(guò)去式知識(shí)的心理圖式。
2. Play a guessing game.
T: First, let me introduce myself to you. I come from Zhenjiang. As you can see from these pictures, it is a beautiful city with high mountains and clean blue lakes. And this boy, can you guess who he is?
Ss: Maybe he is your son.
T: Yes, you’re so clever. He is my son, his name is Hoven and he likes outdoor activities very much. Here are some photos I took last weekend. Looking at his smile, we can see he had a great time. Do you want to know more about Hoven’s last weekend activities? OK, let’s play a guessing game to see what he did and where he went. If you can guess, just stand up. Now the first picture, was he happy last weekend?(板書(shū)Was he...?)
S1: Yes, he was.
T: OK, let’s check. You’re right. He was happy.(板書(shū)He was...)For the second picture, were they at home last Sunday?(板書(shū)Were they...?)
S2: Yes, they were.
T: OK, let’s check. Were they at home last Sunday?
Ss: No, they weren’t.
T: They weren’t at home. (板書(shū)They weren’t ...)Where were they?
Ss: They were in a restaurant.(板書(shū)They were...)
T: Now the third picture, did Hoven ride a bike last Sunday morning?
S3: Yes, he did.
T: Good, you’ve got it. He rode a bike last Sunday morning. (板書(shū)He rode... )For the next picture, did Hoven’s aunt go running last Sunday afternoon?
S4: Yes, she did.
T: It seemed that she went running, but let’s see the whole picture. Did she go running?(板書(shū)Did she ...?)
Ss: No, she didn’t.
T: What did she do?
Ss: She flied a kite.
T: “flied” or “flew”?
Ss: She flew a kite.(板書(shū)She flew... )
T: Yes. Now it is the last chance for you to guess. Did we go camping last Sunday afternoon? (板書(shū)Did we ...?)
S5: Yes, you did.
T: Great, yes, we went camping. We also put up a tent and had a picnic.呈現(xiàn)生詞put up和tent。(板書(shū)We put up... )
【設(shè)計(jì)意圖】呈現(xiàn)鎮(zhèn)江的風(fēng)景圖片,教師自我介紹,通過(guò)談?wù)撝苣┥钸M(jìn)而開(kāi)展猜謎游戲。本環(huán)節(jié)通過(guò)簡(jiǎn)單的一般疑問(wèn)句問(wèn)答引導(dǎo)學(xué)生對(duì)話題有初步的感性認(rèn)識(shí),調(diào)動(dòng)話題背景知識(shí)和相關(guān)生活經(jīng)驗(yàn)的隱性思維,激發(fā)學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)興趣。同時(shí)通過(guò)圖片呈現(xiàn)一般過(guò)去時(shí)的肯定句、否定句和一般疑問(wèn)句及其肯定、否定回答。教師依據(jù)學(xué)生的回答適時(shí)介入,助其掃除語(yǔ)言障礙,理解put up和tent等詞匯。
Step 2:Presentation
1. Free talk. What weekend activities did you do on May Day?
T: Just now you knew about Hoven’s weekend activities. I’m also interested in what you did last week on May Day. Who wants to have a free talk with me?
T: Did you listen to the music last weekend?
S1: No, I didn’t.
T: What did you do?
S1: I went shopping with my mother.
T: What about you? What did you do on May Day?
S2: I played football with my friends.
【設(shè)計(jì)意圖】教師從貼近學(xué)生的問(wèn)題導(dǎo)入話題。在presentation第一部分,我使用本班學(xué)生的照片,與學(xué)生先進(jìn)行了一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的free talk,然后給學(xué)生模板A、B,兩人一組進(jìn)行活動(dòng),就上周末五一勞動(dòng)節(jié)的活動(dòng)操練一般疑問(wèn)句及其肯定、否定回答。
2.Pair work. (Students work in pairs and use either sample A or sample B to finish your dialogue.)
T: Please work in pairs and tell your partner what you did on May Day. Pay attention to your pronunciation of the past form of the verbs.

S1: Did ...?
S2: Yes, ... did.

S2: I had a picnic with my family in a park.

【設(shè)計(jì)意圖】學(xué)生在辨識(shí)并理解語(yǔ)法點(diǎn)后,結(jié)合自身知識(shí)與經(jīng)驗(yàn)積累,參照“觀點(diǎn)+支撐性理由或細(xì)節(jié)”這一語(yǔ)言形式,針對(duì)話題闡明自己的觀點(diǎn)。在此過(guò)程中,教師給出語(yǔ)言框架供學(xué)生進(jìn)行有序的表達(dá)。
3. Individual work. (1) Help Millie finish her report about their weekend activities. (2)Help Sandy complete the conversation. (Page 74)
T: Our old friends Millie, Simon, Kitty and Daniel also had a meaningful weekend. Please help Millie finish her report. Remember to choose the right words and use the correct forms.
T: Last month, Simon also went camping. Sandy is asking him about his trip. Please help her finish their dialogue. If you finish it, please practice your dialogue with your partner.
【設(shè)計(jì)意圖】本環(huán)節(jié)旨在使學(xué)生在語(yǔ)篇和對(duì)話中筆頭練習(xí)使用過(guò)去時(shí),獲得語(yǔ)篇結(jié)構(gòu)的整體感知,通過(guò)第一個(gè)語(yǔ)篇對(duì)第一課時(shí)的動(dòng)詞過(guò)去式進(jìn)行書(shū)面的操練鞏固,通過(guò)第二個(gè)對(duì)話對(duì)本節(jié)課的一般疑問(wèn)句和否定句進(jìn)行書(shū)面操練。……
