【教学设计】

一、教学背景分析

学生之前使用的是《新起点英语》教材，现在使用的是PEP教材。作为山东省的一所名校，我们与多个国家的多所学校每年进行互访交流，我校学生对于世界各国概况和文化有强烈的学习需求。加之修订版PEP教材中“Around the World”的内容相对缺乏，所以选择了以《新起点英语》六（上）Unit 2 Around the World Lesson 3为脚本重新编写并补充到英语课程中，为更好地进行国际交流打好基础。本课（Traveling Around the World）是一节以旅行为话题的阅读课，教学内容包括英国、美国和澳大利亚三国的首都、城市及景点。

Step 4.Post-Reading阅读后（应用环节）
