Period4Presentingideas本课时是本单元最后一个课时，共分为两个部分。第一部分为写作，要求学生从外表、栖息地、迁徙、食物等方面选择一种动物进行描述，内容可参考关于丹顶鹤的短文。第二部分为口语训练，要求学生从时间、地点、主要角色、角色关系、主要情节和故事背后的信息等方面分享一个自己看过的讲述人与动物关系的电影。两个部分都有明确的内容，因此学生可能并不会感到无话可说无话可写，但可能会比较混乱，其难点在于如何有组织地写出/说出正确的句子。教师在学生动手动嘴之前可以先做示范，引导学生去说，同时要充分利用好课本资源，如给学生提供的范文或有用的表达方式。1.语言能力目标写：按照提示写一种自己喜欢的动物；说：按照提示讲述一部自己看过的电影；学习本课时的一些重点单词/词组/句型。2.学习能力目标能够有意识地借助网络、图书、小组讨论交流等方式拓宽自己的学习渠道，获得自己所需要的信息，从而帮助自己学习。3.文化意识目标通过写作自己喜欢的动物和讲述自己看过的人与动物的电影，进一步反思人与动物、人与自然的关系，培养尊敬自然、热爱自然、与大自然和谐相处的优秀思想品质。4.思维品质目标学会观察和模仿；能够根据提示或按照要求逐步地展开话语，组织文章。1.重点写一种自己喜欢的动物；讲述一部自己看过的电影；本课时的重点单词/词组/句型。2.难点根据提示或按照要求逐步地展开话语，组织文章（使其具有逻辑性、条理性）Part1.WritingStep1ReadingReadtheparagraphaboutthered-crownedcraneandanswerthequestion1.Whatdoesthered-crownedcranelooklike?(Itsfeatherareaswhiteassnow,exceptforsomeblackonesonitsface,neckandwings,andithasbrightredskinonthetopofitshead.)2.Wherecanyoufindit?(ItcanbefoundinChina,Russia,Mongolia,JapanandKoreanPeninsula.)3.Wheredoesitmigrate?(Itmigratestoeast-centralChina.)4.Whatdoesiteat?(Iteatsfish,snailsandwaterplants.)5.WhatsymbolicmeaningdoesithaveinChineseculture?(Itisasymboloflonglifeandgoodluck.)(Observethequestionscarefullyandwecanfindthatthefirstquestionisaboutthered-crownedcranes’appearanceandthesecondonehabitat,thethirdonemigration,theforthonedietandthelastoneotherinformation,sowecanconcludethatthesefivequestionsareaskedinordertogetreadyforactivity2.Inotherwords,studentscanfinishactivity2andwritetheiressaybyimitatingtheparagraph.)Step2.Preparationforwriting1.What’syourfavoriteanimal?2.Makenotesoftheanimalyoulike.Animal:Appearance:Habitat:Migration:Diet:Otherinformation:(Ifyouarenotclearaboutsomeaspectsabove,askothersforhelporsearchbyyourselves.Youcanalsorefertotheparagraphaboutthered-crownedcranes.)(Notallaspectsisnecessarytowrite.)Step3.WritingWriteashortdescriptionofyouranimalandshareyourdescriptionwiththeclass.Usethenotesyoumadeandtheusefulexpressionsintheboxtohelpyou.Part2.PresentationStep1.Posteroffilms.Teachershowsstudentssomeposteroffilmsabouthuman-animalrelationships.Step2.Groupwork1.Thinkofonefilmoranystoryyouknowaboutrelationshipsbetweenhumanandanimalsandcompletethenotes.2.Practisetellingyourstoryinthegroup.Useyournotesandtheexpressionsintheboxtohelpyou.3.Tellthestorytotheclass.Voteforthebeststory.(Organizethisactivitywiththeformofgame.Forexample,dividetheclassintoseveralgroupsandtheneachgroupselectsonestoryandonepersontopresent.Voteforthebeststory,thebestnarrator,andsoon.)Step3.Homework课后练习Usefulexpressions:Thestoryisabout...Themaincharactersare...Ittakesplacein...Itstartswith...Itendswith...It’swrittenfor...It’stoldthroughtheeyesof...Usefulexpressions:Itis...tall.Itgetsitsnamefrom...Itsuniquefeatureis...Itsfoodincludes...
