B.掌握提出表示愚人节祝福的句型；2)能力目标:A.了解愚人节的来历和日期； B.学会简单地表达自己曾经的经历和愚人节祝福语。 3)情感目标:通过实践让学生体验集体生活的快乐，通过小组活动，练习愚人节及祝福的口语，提出不同的庆祝方式并了解风俗习惯。4、重难点的确立及依据 根据英语课程标准、本单元特点及学生现状，我将本单元重难点确立如下：1)教学重点：进一步巩固表达自身经历的口语练习。 2)教学难点：学会使用提出祝福语的句型，并能根据具体情况进行应用。在谈论在愚人节那天自身经历的同时，学会在团队中生活学习，感受集体力量中的快乐时光。二、教学方法分析 由于初二学生已经具备了一定的听、说、读、写能力，所以本节课主要强 调学生的小组谈论意识和角色扮演活动。教学环节中角色扮演的课堂活动，使学生在巩固所学知识的同时，理解课堂所学关于愚人节的知识，从而达到本节课的情感态度目标。多媒体辅助教学贯穿于整个教学过程，增加了直观性和趣味性，加大了课堂密度，也提高了学生的学习兴趣和整节课的教学效果。三、教学流程【具体教学步骤】 愚人节的来历 xx-03-3117:46 马上就要愚人节了。关于这个节日的有各种不同的说法，有人说与一群不愿接受公历纪年的法国保守者有关；也有人说它纪念丰收女神的女儿被诱拐到地狱；还有人说，这个节日始于英国一个名叫“愚人村”的天才村民；另一些说法则认为春天的天气变化无常，因此人们在春分前后可以选择某一日颠倒乾坤，以荒诞的闹剧来迎接春神的到来 以下关于“愚人节”的五种传说，其趣味各有千秋，至于哪种更为真实全凭您的亮眼一辨真伪喽！ Asitwascalledyearsago,AllFoolsDayisobservedinmanycountriesaroundtheworld.TheoriginofAprilFoolsDayremainscloudedinobscurity.Butwhatisclearisthatthetraditionofadaydevotedtofooleryhadancientroots.Aswelookbackintime,manyancientpredecessorsofAprilFoolsDayarefound.
