一、教学目标
本单元的中心话题是physical appearance。通过本课时的学习,大多数学生能够通过人物的身高、体重、头发及其他细节谈论外貌。同时,大多数学生能通过同伴的描述,找出同伴描述的人物。
1.知识目标。
①重点词汇:hair,tall,heavy,thin,medium,height,build,like,always,curly等
②重点句型:What does he look like?He is of medium build.
What does she look like?She is tall.And she has...hair.
2.技能目标。通过描述和谈论人物的身高、体重和头发等,学生学会准确使用相应的形容词进行外貌描述。学生通过听,获得有关人物外貌的关键信息。
3.文化意识。学习描述人物的形容词及多个形容词修饰同一名词的词序,帮助学生了解中西方文化的差异。
二、教学重点
1.有关谈论人物身高、体重和头发的描述性形容词。
2.如何正确区分be动词和have/has的使用。
3.如何就人物的外貌进行问答。
三、教学难点及解决办法
1.如何使用“medium”对人物身高进行描述,其发音也是难点。方法:通过比较图片人物的身高数据,并配以解说He is not tall or short.He is of medium height.让学生猜测medium的意思。
2.学生可能在“is”和“has”的正确使用上有困难。方法:在2b听力结束后,总结be动词和have/has在描述人物外貌时的区别,然后通过练习巩固理解。
四、教学步骤

Step3 Guessing game
Ask one student to guess “Who is he/she?”,other students look at the picture and describe the person.They say like this:He/She is...He/She has...He/She wears...He/She likes...(教師事先选好班里特点较明显的学生照片,要求先描述外貌,再谈及衣着和爱好等其他特点,不允许谈到人名。每个学生只允许讲述一个特点。这样难度从低到高,让各个层次的学生都有机会参与)。
