【教学过程】

Step One:

1.    Greeting each other.
2.    Tell the students: Today we’ll talk about our hometown first.

T: My hometown is Guanqiao. Tell me what the name of your hometown was.

S: My hometown is ……. ( 学生模仿老师的句子).

The students practice between each other like this:

A: What was the name of your hometown?

B: It was ……..

After the students can speak this dialogue well, then tell them:

My hometown is Guanqiao, that means:

I was born in Guanqiao. (Let the students guess the meaning of this sentence)

Tell them the meaning “ was born” and why we use “ was” here.

be ------- was, were

3.    Let the students learn to say : I was born in …….

After the students are familiar with “I was born in …,”

T: Were you born in Guanqiao?

S: Yes, I was. I was born in Guanqiao.

   No, I wasn’t. I wasn’t born in Guanqiao. I was born in ……

(If the students don’t know the answer, we can help them answer).

Now the students can practice the question and the negative:

Were you born in……?

Yes, I was. I was born in ……

No, I wasn’t. I wasn’t born in…..

4.    T: Were you born in Guanqiao?

S: No, I wasn’t. I wasn’t born in Guanqiao.

T: Where were you born?

S: I was born in ……..

Then the students can make dialogues like this:

A: Where were you born?

B: I was born in ……..

（教学反思： 每个人都有自己的家乡，也都爱自己的家乡， 所以本部分从学生们熟悉的家乡入手， 容易引起学生的兴趣。 通过本部分的学习和操练，让学生掌握以下内容：

1）          What was the name of your hometown?

2）          Were you born in ……..?

Yes, I was. I was born in ……….

No, I wasn’t. I wasn’t born in ……..

3)                Where were you born?

I was born ……..

Step Two:

Now we are in a middle school. We are not in a primary school.

(Explain the meaning of “a primary school” )

So this is not your first school.

T: What was the name of your first school?

S: It was ……..

T: Who was your first Chinese teacher?

S: My first Chinese teacher was Miss / Mr. ……

T: Who was your first friend?

S: My first friend was ……..

T: Do you like your first teacher? /first friend?

S: Yes, I do. / No, I don’t.

T: What is his character?

(Tell them the meaning of “character” and show them some words to describe one’s character like this: friendly, naughty, nice, strict, and well-behaved)

T: Now tell me what your character is. 

What are you like?

S: I am………

T: What is he / she like?

S: He / She is ………

The students ask each other about their character.

T: Now you are friendly. Were you friendly at the primary school?

S: Yes, I was. I was friendly.

   No, I wasn’t. I was very naughty.

Now the students ask about their character when they were at the primary school.

Dialogue One: 

A: Were you …………?

B: Yes, I was.

No, I wasn’t.

Dialogue Two:

A: What were you like at the primary school?

B: I was …………

A: Who was your first Chinese teacher?

B: What was he like?

A: He was ………

(教学反思：本部分讨论的是同学们自己的性格，和他们的儿时的老师和朋友的性格。话题仍然是同学们所熟悉的内容。几个形容词的提出刚好是他们的需要，所以学生也会很乐意接受。第一和第二部分的学习是为课文的学习打下了基础。在熟悉了以上的内容，接下来的课文学习就变得容易多了。)

Step Three:

Now open the books. Let the students look at the pictures of Activity One:

Ask them the following questions:

1. T: Who is this?

S: He is Bill Gates.

T: What does he do?

Now match the photos with the sentences.

(第三部分讨论的人物都是世界上著名的人物，对学生来说也是比较熟悉。在复习前两部分的句型基础上，再学习部分新的单词。)

Step Four:

Now look at Activity Two: Listen to the tape and match the questions and the answers.

Activity Three: Answer the questions in Activity 2.

(书本上的 Activity 2 and Activity 3 的问题都是前面所学的内容，所以这两部分可以说是一边复习，一边巩固所学的知识。)

Step Five:

Look at Activity Four:

1.      First just listen to the tape without looking at their books, and answer the following questions:

1)              Who are the people in the dialogue?

2)              Where was Lingling born?

3)              Where was Tony born?

2.      Now look at their books and listen to the tape again:

After that, do exercise in Activity Five. Choose the correct answer to each question.

3.      Students read the dialogue, and remember some phrases:

1)              in a small village in Shanxi Province.

2)              be strict with sb.

3)              be friendly to sb

4)              be well-behaved / naughty

教学反思：本教案设计的主要思路是分散难点，逐一掌握本单元的重点和难点。所采用的素材也尽量采用学生所熟悉的，比如学生的家乡和身边人物的性格。
