【教学过程】

Step One

1. Greeting each other.

2. Tell the students: Today we’ll talk about our hometown first.

T: My hometown is Guanqiao. Tell me what the name of your hometown was.

S: My hometown is ……. (学生模仿老师的句子).

The students practice between each other like this:

A: What was the name of your hometown?

B: It was ……..

3. After the students can speak this dialogue well, then tell them:

My hometown is Guanqiao, that means: 

I was born in Guanqiao. (Let the students guess the meaning of this sentence)

4. Tell them the meaning “was born” and why we use “was” here.

be ------- was, were

5. Let the students learn to say: I was born in …….

6. After the students are familiar with “I was born in …..”

T: Were you born in Guanqiao?

S: Yes, I was. I was born in Guanqiao. /No, I wasn’t. I wasn’t born in Guanqiao. I was born in ……

(If the students don’t know the answer, we can help them answer).

7. Now the students can practice the question and the negative:

Were you born in……? Yes, I was. I was born in ……/No, I wasn’t. I wasn’t born in…..

T: Were you born in Guanqiao?

    S: No, I wasn’t. I wasn’t born in Guanqiao.

    T: Where were you born?

    S: I was born in ……..

    8. Then the students can make dialogues like this:

    A: Where were you born?

B: I was born in ……..

   （教学反思：每个人都有自己的家乡，也都爱自己的家乡，所以本部分从学生们熟悉的家乡入手，容易引起学生的兴趣。通过本部分的学习和操练，让学生掌握以下内容：

 1) What was the name of your hometown?

 2) Were you born in ……..?

    Yes, I was. I was born in ……….

    No, I wasn’t. I wasn’t born in ……..

    3) Where were you born?

    I was born ……..

Step Two

   1. Now we are in a middle school. We are not in a primary school.

   (Explain the meaning of “a primary school”)

   So this is not your first school.

   T: What was the name of your first school?

   S: It was ……..

   T: Who was your first Chinese teacher?

   S: My first Chinese teacher was Miss / Mr ……

   T: Who was your first friend?

   S: My first friend was ……..

   T: Do you like your first teacher? / First friend?

   S: Yes, I do. / No, I don’t.

   T: What is his character?

   (Tell them the meaning of “character” and show them some words to describe one’s character like this: friendly, naughty, nice, strict, well-behaved)

   T: Now tell me what your character is.

     What are you like?

   S: I am ………

   T: What is he / she like?

   S: He / She is ………

   2. The students ask each other about their character.

   T: Now you are friendly. Were you friendly at the primary school?

   S: Yes, I was. I was friendly.

     No, I wasn’t. I was very naughty.

   3. Now the students ask about their character when they were at the primary school.

   Dialogue One:

   A: Were you …………?

   B: Yes, I was.

   No, I wasn’t.

   Dialogue Two:

   A: What were you like at the primary school?

   B: I was …………

   A: Who was your first Chinese teacher?

   B: What was he like?

   A: He was ………

   (教学反思：本部分讨论的是同学们自己的性格，和他们的儿时的老师和朋友的性格。话题仍然是同学们所熟悉的内容。几个形容词的提出刚好是他们的需要，所以学生也会很乐意接受。第一和第二部分的学习是为课文的学习打下了基础。在熟悉了以上的内容，接下来的课文学习就变得容易多了。)

Step Three

   1. Now open the books. Let the students look at the pictures of Activity        

   2. Ask them the following questions:

   T: Who is this?

   S: He is Bill Gates.

   T: What does he do?

   S: He is the founder of Microsoft.

   T: Where was he born?

   S: He was born in the USA.

T: What does he do?

S: He is a professor of Cambridge University.

 T: Where was he born?

 S: He was born in England.

 T: What is he like?

 S: He is ……

 3. Now match the photos with the sentences.

 (第三部分讨论的人物都是世界上著名的人物，对学生来说也是比较熟悉。在复习前两部分的句型基础上，再学习部分新的单词。)

Step Four

 Now look at Activity Two: Listen to the tape and match the questions and the answers.

 Activity Three: Answer the questions in Activity 2.

 ( 书本上的Activity 2 and Activity 3的问题都是前面所学的内容，所以这两部分可以说是一边复习,一边巩固所学的知识。)

Step Five

 Look at Activity Four:

   1. First just listen to the tape without looking at their books, and answer the following questions:

   1) Who are the people in the dialogue?

   2) Where was Lingling born?

   3) Where was Tony born?

   2. Now look at their books and listen to the tape again:

 After that, do exercise in Activity Five. Choose the correct answer to each question.

 3. Students read the dialogue, and remember some phrases:

   1) In a small village in Shanxi Province.

   2) Be strict with sb.

   3) Be friendly to sb

   4) Be well-behaved / naughty

Step Six

   Activity Six and Activity Seven.

 (教学反思：本教案设计的主要思路是分散难点，逐一掌握本单元的重点和难点。所采用的素材也尽量采用学生所熟悉的，比如学生的家乡和身边人物的性格。）
