Unit 2 Travelling Around

Period 3 Discovering Useful Structures 教学设计                                       

教材分析

该板块的活动主题是“谈论你的未来计划”（Talk about your future plans）。在旅行话题中，人们除了会谈到去过的地方和感受以外，还会谈到旅行的计划和打算，这时常常会用到表达将来计划的语言结构，所以本单元将现在进行时表将来计划的用法与旅行主题有机结合。现在进行时表将来的主要功能是表达已经计划好的安排，如：“I’ve sent the invitations to my friend. We’re having a party next weekend.”。

教学目标 

1. 学生通过观察、分析与归纳，掌握现在进行时表将来的用法。
2. 能够区分现在进行时（be doing）和 be going to do以及will do表将来动作的异同。
3. 能够运用现在进行表示将来与同伴讨论周末计划。

2. I’m sitting on a rock near the river with my friends.

3. He is always talking big.

设计意图：引导学生总结现在进行时的用法，除了表示正在发生的动作以外，还可以用于表示将来的计划。

Step 3 Exploration

1. Work on Activity 2. Read the conversation and underline verbs in the present continuous tense. Discuss with a partner when and how these verbs are used.

Amy: Hello, Jeremy! What are you doing this weekend?

Jeremy: Hi, Amy! Some friends and I are going to that new water park on Saturday. Do you want to join us?

Amy: Sure, I’d love to! What time and where?

Jeremy: We’re meeting at 10:00a.m. at the bus stop near our school.

Amy: How about lunch? Are you eating at the water park?

Jeremy: Well, I’m bringing my own lunch. I think some of the others are eating at the park, but the food there is really expensive.

2. Work on Activity 3. Read the sentences and tick those that express future plans. Rewrite them in the present continuous tense.

(2)  Kate has been invited to a meeting in Iceland. She will apply for a visa soon.

(3)  A: Hey, are you free for dinner tonight?

    B: I’m sorry, no. I’ll have dinner with my cousins tonight.

4. Thinking. Why sentence 2 and sentence 4 cannot be written in the present continuous tense ?
5. Work on Activity 3 in workbook. Decide whether will do or the present continuous tense is better and fill in the blanks.
