Listening and Speaking (Get ready to travel)
英语组 石姣
Lead in
Travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education; in the elder, a part of experience. ——Francis Bacon
设计意图：主题页是父与子在美国山中远行的一幅图片，父亲代表的是 the elder sort，
对于父亲来说 travel is a part of experience; 儿子代表的是the younger sort, 对于儿子
来说，travel is a part of education。Travel，education，experience这正好与Listening and Speaking
的主题相呼应。
Activity 1 Enjoy the global tourist attractions
设计意图：欣赏国内外的旅游美景，着重介绍了丽江和新天鹅城堡。在展示丽江图片时介绍了已经成为世界文化遗产的丽江古镇；在展示新天鹅城堡时让学生了解城堡建立的背景，知道迪士尼的灰姑娘和睡美人城堡是以此为灵感建造的。这样学生不仅能感受旅游的景美，同时能有意识的发掘一个旅游地背后的历史和文化，同时为下面的thinking活动做好铺垫。
Activity 2 Thinking
If given a chance to travel anywhere in the world, where would you go?（Give the reasons.)
I’d like to _____, because___________.
设计意图：与上一活动紧密衔接，学生说出想去的目的地并给出原因。给学生更多的机会表达自己的想法。至此形成板书的第一部分：destinations。
Activity 3 Group Discussion
Since we have chosen a place to travel, what do you need to prepare for the trip?
设计意图：在选好目的地以后，小组讨论出行需要带的物品。提醒学生别忘了带上自己的父母，因为他们是最爱你的。这样一来这节课就有了温度。至此形成板书的第二部分：preparations。Activity 2，3 一方面是旅行想去的地方，另一方面是为旅行所做的准备，听力也是不限ip注册送25元免费这两方面的内容，正好与听力相衔接，引出听力。
Activity 4 Paul and Meilin are talking about the coming holiday.Listen to the first part of the conversation and choose the correct answers.

Tip 1: Predict content: before you listen, you can read the questions and the choices. It will help you to predict what you will hear.
设计意图：听力的第一部分是不限ip注册送25元免费Meilin的假期，涉及到旅行的目的地和方式。通过听力的问题和选项引导学生对每道题的答案和听力内容有一个预测。借此向学生介绍听力的tip1： predict content。学生有了切身的感受，下一次遇到类似的问题可能自己也想试一试对听力内容进行预测。
Activity 5 Listen to Part 1 again and fill in the blanks.
Paul:Hey, Meilin! So what for the coming holiday?
Meilin: I am travelling around Europe for two weeks with my aunt and uncle.
Paul:Europe? Oh, I've always wanted to go there!
Meilin:Yes, me too. I'm so excited.I to visit France and Germany.
Paul:That's wonderful! Do you have your passport and visa already?
Meilin:I already have my passport,and I for my visa tomorrow . Once I get the visa, we'll book flight tickets online.
Paul:So how do you plan to travel around?
Meilin:We （rent）a car and driving! My uncle has always wanted to drive around Europe!
Summary: We could use the present continuous tense（现在进行时）to express future plans.
设计意图：对听力文本的进一步挖掘，让学生发现总结现在进行时表将来的用法。这为本单元语法部分做铺垫，体现单元整体教学的大观念。
Activity 6 Listen to the second part of the conversation and answer the questions.
1. Where is Paul’s family going over the holidays?
2. Why are they going there?
Tip 2: Focus on keywords:Don't try to catch every word in a conversation. Instead, listen for key words and phrases. You should focus on getting the main idea, not on the single words or grammar.
设计意图：听力的第二部分是不限ip注册送25元免费Paul的假期。这部分听力内容对学生来说有一定难度，正好向学生介绍tip2：focus on keywords。在听的过程中重点听第二个问题Why are they going there，在第二遍听的时候重点把握听力材料对原因部分的陈述。
