What do you think they will see?4.Show the picture in Part A, on Page 61, ask: What can you see in the picture? Answer with the students: I can see lightning. I can see some plantsplants life.(Show the new words and phrases in time.)5.Show the rest five pictures and give the following model to the class: A: What can you see in the picture?B: I can seeT walks around, gives help if necessary, write the new words and phrases appeared in this part: travel, Earth, moon, elephant, without, spaceship, sneeze, tiptoe.Teach the new words and phrases after the activity.6.Check the learning situation of vocabulary:Ss fill in the blanks with the given wordstravel Earth moon Elephants without plant sneeze the USA open (1)It takes about three days to _ from _ to the _ by spaceship.(2)A man in _ was 2.72 metes tall.(3)Fish sleep with their eyes_.(4)You cannot _ and keep your eyes open at the same time.(5)_walk on tiptoe.(6)There is no _ life _ lightning.7.Check the answers with the class.8,Turn to Page61Check the answers with the class.【设计意图】这部分我以图片来引入，让学生针对图片来讨论，生动形象，学生兴趣浓厚，这个环节的设置，既锻炼了学生的口语，又引出了生词，同时借助图片让学生对生词和重点短语的印象更加深刻。在书中练习之前，我还插入了一个选词填空的练习环节，所填的部分均是本课时的重点，这样更容易引起学生对知识点的关注。Step3:A game1.Encourage the students to make dialogues about amazing things they have seen or heard, work in groups of four., then try to act out their dialogues.Give the students an example:A: Do you know that?B: Really? How do you know that?A:Dont you think thats amazing/ interesting/ funny/ great/ wonderful?B: Yes, I do. /No, I dont think so. But do you know that?A:2.Several groups come to the front and act out their dialogues.(Judge which group makes the fewest mistakes and uses the least time, clap for the winners.)Rules：Each group in the class should give their dialogues correctly and quickly.Attention: The other members should listen carefully, point out the mistakes after each groups action.【设计意图】游戏是深受学生喜爱的学习活动方式，在教学中能将课堂导入环节和合适的游戏结合起来，学生便可以在轻松愉快的游戏氛围中积极主动地接受新的知识。因此，我以竞赛的形式安排了Welcome to the Unit部分的教学,这样不仅课堂气氛活跃起来了，更重要的是利用这种竞赛的形式，学生在短时间内自然、轻松而又不失紧张地进行了对话的练习，提高课堂了学习效率。同时，每个学习小组的合作意识与能力也得到了加强，而就整个班级来看，学生的竞争意识也更强了。Step4:Presentation1、Tell the students: Hobo and Eddie also see something strange in the sky. They are talking about it now. What are they talking about? Lets listen to their dialogue.2、Show the four pictures on Page60 and the exercise below:Hobo and Eddie are talking about something outside. Eddie wants to know_ _ _ .Hobo thinks _ _ _. Eddie says its_ _ _ , and he _ one _ .But Hobo still believe its _ _ , he asks Eddie to _ _ its _ _. Eddie tells him its only the _ on _ _ .But Hobo still thinks it _ a_ , because its _ _ .Ss listen to the tape again, then try to fill in the blanks.Check the answers with several students .3.Books open.Play the tape for the students to listen and repeat.4.Read in pairs, then try to act out the dialogue.Several pairs have a try.【设计意图】Comic Strips部分内容诙谐幽默而又浅显，适合学生做一些听力练习。因此，首先我设置了问题，让学生带着问题认真聆听对话。“罗马不是一天就造成的。”只有时刻将听力教学贯穿与课堂教学中，才能切实提高学生的听力水平。之后，针对学生阅读理解能力尤其是任务型阅读能力薄弱的特点，我设置了一个与漫画相关的填词练习，以练习形式进一步巩固了学生对漫画内容的掌握。Step5:ExerciseShow the following exercise to the students:Translation:（1）从我家到学校步行要花半小时。_（2）没有太阳就没有一切生命。_（3）当你离开教室的时候不要让门开着。_（4）小镇上的一棵树300多年了。_（5）我们骑自行车去上学。_（6）这只不过是月亮的光。_Several students write on the blackboard , other students write in their exercise books.Check the answers with the class.【设计意图】针对学生书面表达能力欠缺的弱点，我设置了这项翻译练习。句子内容都比较简单，且用到的都是课文中涉及到的一些知识点，既是对本课所学的内容进行的一次巩固练习，同时也是对学生本节课的学习情况的一个小检测，学生反馈情况较好。Step6:Homework1.Read the dialogue and the sentences in the b
