Unit 1Where is your pen pal from?
教案設計：李益華
[設計思路]
本節課通過三個任務的完成引導學生運用be from和live談論人們的國籍及居住城市，在完成任務的過程中，綜合運用目標語言，并通過與他人的合作交流，相互學習和幫助，在思想和能力上得到提升。
任務一：我們的筆友來自哪里
這個任務讓學生填寫調查表，了解全班同學的筆友分別來自哪個國家以及居住在哪個城市，同時讓學生認識和了解一些國家和城市相關地理文化知識，拓展學生的視野, 激發他們的興趣。在完成任務的過程中運用where…from和where…live引導的特殊疑問句, 綜合運用目標語言, 詢問并回答人們的國籍和住處。
任務二：這是我的筆友
通過學生閱讀筆友來信了解筆友的國籍和住所, 根據調查表找出筆友的照片, 結合來信, 全面認識自己的筆友, 并向他人介紹自己的筆友, 在交流中循環目標語言和重點詞匯。
任務三；圣誕的問候--傳遞友誼
讓學生給筆友制作圣誕卡，并通過筆友來信寫一封簡短的回信。通過為筆友制作圣誕卡片，把這個單元的目標語言落實到筆頭上，并給學生提供了一個綜合運用語言進行交流和了解世界文化，傳播中國文化的舞臺。
總之，這節課是本單元的第一課時，這三個任務的設計從基礎開始層層遞進，讓學生在了解筆友的基礎上, 通過制作圣誕卡片傳遞友情, 學會同各國中學生進行交流, 增強對世界各國人民的了解，讓中國學生朋友遍天下, 讓中國北京走向世界。
