Step 1 Warming-up

Look and say

A: What was / were + 主语 + doing?

B: 主语+ was / were +动词的现在分词 +其他.

2. Encourage some pairs to share their conversations.

【设计意图】通过两人一组看故事场景，编写小对话，练习过去进行时的用法，并在班级中表演展示。

Step 2 Pre-reading

Let’s learn

T shows some pictures and the sentences describing the pictures. Then learn the new words or expressions in the sentences as a whole class.

【设计意图】学习新单词，为学习本课时的内容做铺垫。

Activity 1

Ss look at the picture in Activity 2 and say what you think is strange.

【设计意图】通过图片导入故事，激活学生头脑中故事的相关情节，还可以帮助学生熟悉与话题相关的词汇，为后面的阅读做准备。

Step 3 While-reading

Fast reading

Activity 2

Work in groups and read the start of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and guess what happens next.

【设计意图】活动2要求学生既要理解故事又要充分发挥想象力，锻炼学生的口语表达能力、句子组织能力，有一定的挑战性。

Activity 3

Activity 4

1. Lead Ss to read the words and expression in the box and check if they understand them.

2. Ask Ss to work in pairs and ask and answer the questions.

3. Elicit answers to the questions from the whole class.

Step 4 Post-reading

Fill in the blanks and try to retell the passage.

Language points

1. Once or twice she looked into her sister’s book. 她偶尔看一眼姐姐的书。

once or twice的意思是“偶尔，一两次”。

2. “And what is a book for,” thought Alice, “without pictures or conversations?” “没有插图也没有对话的书有什么用？”爱丽丝想。

What … for? 表示“有什么用，为什么”。

3. She heard the rabbit say, “Oh, dear! Oh, dear! I will be late!”…她听到兔子说到：“天哪！天哪！我要迟到了！”……

hear sb. do sth. 意为“听见某人做了某事”或“听见某人经常做某事”。 

辨析：hear sb. do sth.与hear sb. doing sth.

4. She found that she was falling down a very, very deep hole.她发现她正在掉进一个非常非常深的洞里。

deep在此处作形容词，意为“（从顶部往下）深的”。还可以用于引申义，如指声音“深沉”、颜色“深浓”、感情“深厚”、问题“深奥”、性质或程度“深 (入)”等。

5. While she was falling, she was thinking about her cat, Dinah.当她往下坠落时，她在想她的猫，戴娜。

while在此处用作动词，意为“当……的时候”。

think about 意为“考虑” ，其后可跟名词、代词或v.-ing形式作宾语。一般指回想过去的事情或考虑某事、或某计划是否可行。

6. Suddenly she landed on some dry leaves…忽然她落在了一些干叶子上……

land on 意为“落到……上”。

2. Check the answers as a whole class.

3. Learn the Learning to learn.

Activity 6

3. Each group chooses one group member to share their story with the whole class. The group which writes the best story can get some prizes.

【设计意图】完成活动5的问句和答语匹配，然后根据活动5完成活动6续写故事的活动。通过这些活动，主要是培养学生思想观点的表达，而不只是简单的写作。
