Step1 Warming up
Greet Ss by asking them: How are you today? Then I’ll tell Ss that I’m not feeling well today (Write the sentence on the blackboard and guide Ss to read it.) and get Ss to guess the reason freely. If Ss can’t get the answer, I’ll tell them that I didn’t have a good sleep last night. So I have a headache. (I say this by doing a gesture)
设计说明:通过师生间的问候,拉近彼此的距离,使学生快速融入英语课堂。要求学生猜测老师身体不适的原因,从而激发学生的背景知识,并为之后的知识输入做好铺垫。
Step2: Presentation of words about diseases
1. Show Ss a bandage and tell them there is something wrong in the place where the bandage lies. Then get Ss to guess the health problems. When I do an action, ask Ss: “What’s the matter?”(write it on the blackboard) For example, when I put the bandage on the stomach, ask Ss: “What’s the matter with me?” Help Ss say: “I’m not feeling well. I have a stomachache.” Then teach the other target words: fever, sore throat, toothache, sore back in the following way: Put the bandage on the other part of body and get students to ask: What’s the matter? Then get other Ss to guess the problem.
2. Use body language to guide Ss to guess another two names of diseases: cold, cough.
3. Show Ss pictures of diseases half hidden, and get Ss to guess the names of diseases: fever, sore throat, toothache, sore back, cold, cough.
设计说明:老师在课堂上出示医疗用具-绷带,能充分唤起学生的好奇心,
使其积极地参与到教学活动中。通过绷带所绑的不同位置和肢体语言,自然地引出有关疾病的单词。这种教学单词的方式简单而且直观,更易被学生接受。八年级学生喜欢猜测的活动,所以,运用半遮图片可以让学生巩固所学的单词。
Step3: Pair work
Put the bandage on the part of a student’s body and ask: “What’s matter?” and guide him to use the pattern: I’m not feeling well. I have a… Then ask Ss to work in pairs and talk about health problems by using the bandage given and using the target language: What’s the matter? I’m not feeling well. I have a …
设计说明:八年级学生的表演欲望强,所以,在结对活动中,为每一小组提供绷带,这样可以激发学生的参与性,扩大参与面,使更多的学生开口说英语。
Step4 Presentation of expressions of giving advice
1. Tell Ss that I have a cold/cough, ask them: What should I do? Ss may give different answers, collect their answers and help them to use: You should/shouldn’t do… Then show some pictures of other diseases mentioned before and ask them to give advice to each problem by using target language: You should/shouldn’t do… During this activity, some phrases will be learned: lie down and rest, drink hot tea with honey, see a dentist, drink lots of water, take some medicine.
2. Show Ss two bags. In one bag, there are pieces of paper with problems while in the other one, there are pieces of paper with advice. Have a competition between boys and girls. Take turns to get paper. For example, one boy gets one paper with problem, and one girl get one paper with advice. The girl should say: What’s the matter with you? The boy should answer the question according to the problem he got by saying: I’m not feeling well. I have a…If the girl got the right advice, she should answer it according to her paper: You should… If it is not, she should say: You shouldn’t, then give the right advice. The one who makes right sentence can get one point.
设计说明:向学生展现有关疾病的图片,这样不仅可以帮助学生复习新知,而且还可以自然地引入新的话题— 针对疾病给建议。然后,通过在男女间开展说疾病给建议的配对游戏,激发学生的参与热情,并巩固句型。同时,使学生增长相关常识,加强健康意识。
Step5 Making a conversation
Show Ss the picture in Section A 3a, ask them to look at the picture, and suppose they are the doctor, what they will ask the patient. Collect Ss’ answers and lead in the sentence: When did it start? Show the sample dialogue and ask Ss to complete it according to the picture orally.
A: What’s the matter with you?
B: I’m not feeling well. I have a _______.
A: When did it start?
B: About______ ago.
A: Oh, that’s too bad. / I’m sorry to hear that. You should/shouldn’t ________ and you should/shouldn’t ________...
B: Yes, I think so.
