课题名称	Unit 9 Can you come to my party?
难点名称	通过体验学会用得体的语言出发、接受或拒绝别人的邀请，并能陈述自己的理由。
难点分析	从知识角度分析为什么难	在英语中情态动词can的用法比较多，正确区分和使用情态动词can及其应答语很有必要，因此如何正确使用can、must等情态动词正确表达发出邀请、接受或拒接邀请并陈述自己的理由对学生而言有些困难。
	从学生角度分析为什么难	发出邀请、接受或拒绝邀请是学生现实生活中经常遇到的生活场景。在本单元之前，学生已经学过了情态动词can的几种用法，在本单元中用Can you...?发出邀请对学生来说并不陌生，但如何运用所学知识对发出的邀请进行恰当的答复或拒绝并陈述自己拒绝的理由是什么对学生而言有些困难。
难点教学方法	1.通过创设真实的语言情境，让学生感知如何发出邀请、接受或拒绝别人的邀请，并陈述自己的理由。 2.通过图片学习重点词汇及短语，创设不同的情境让学生通过口语训练、游戏活动等运用所学知识正确表达如何向别人发出邀请、接受或拒绝别人的邀请，并能陈述自己的理由。
