Teaching key point: the usage of the past continuous tense Teaching difficulties: How to use the past continuous tense in the adverb clause of time leaded by “when”and “while”. The Analysis of Teaching Process Step 1 - - - Organization 1. Exchange greetings with the Ss. Duty report: It is between two students. They are having a dialogue. Enjoy a clip of film about the UFO Step 2 - - - Revision 1.Show four animation pictures on the screen After showing the pictures, ask: ----What is Peter’s mother doing? ---She is cooking. ---What is Peter’s father doing? ---He is watching TV. ---What is Peter doing? ---He is sleeping late. ---What is Peter’s brother doing?. ---He is getting out of the shower 教學(xué)設(shè)計說明 復(fù)習(xí)進(jìn)行時態(tài) 2. Lead the students into the real situations: Ask one boy student: What are you doing now? The student may answer: I am listening to you. Ask the whole class: What is he doing? The whole class answer: He is listening to you. Repeat this with one girl student. Practice with the whole class, trying to revise the tense with different personal pronouns. 教學(xué)設(shè)計說明 同樣復(fù)習(xí)進(jìn)行時態(tài)，不同的是從圖回到現(xiàn)實(shí)。 Step 3 -Leading in: introduce the past continuous tense to the students 1. Ask one student (student A) to leave the room and wait outside the door Then ask two students to do actions, one (students B) is writing on the blackboard and the other (student C) is drawing a picture. They keep doing it without stopping until I ask them to stop. 2. Ask student B: What are you doing? Student B answers: I am writing on the blackboard. (Write the sentence on the blackboard as blackboard work) Repeat this with student C, write: I am drawing a picture 3. Ask the student outside to come in and sit down. Then ask the two students who are doing actions sit down too. 4. Ask the first student who was writing on the blackboard. Ask: What were you doing when (student A) came in? Help him to answer: I was writing on the blackboard when he came in. (Wrtie I was wrting on the blackboard as the blackboard work) I say to the class: He was writing on the blackboard when (student A) came in. Ask the class to repeat this sentence. 5. Repeat this with the second student who was drawing a picture. (Write I was drawing a picture ) 6. Ask some other students the question: What were you doing when (student A) came in? Then students ask and answer in pairs: What were you doing when (student A) came in? 7. Point to the blackboard-writing( During my teaching above, I have written it on the blackboard step by step). Help them to find out the differences between the two pairs of sentences. Tell the students: Today we are going to learn a new tense ----the past continuous tense. Introduce the past continuous tense. I am writing on the blackboard. I was writing on the blackboard when A came in.I am drawing a picture.
I was drawing a picture when A came in..
教學(xué)設(shè)計說明：通過真實(shí)的情景引入過去進(jìn)行時態(tài) 8. ore practice about continuous tense. 教學(xué)設(shè)計說明 通過更多的圖片操練新學(xué)的時態(tài)。 9.

I was in… Step 5 Section A (1b). 1.In order to transit from 1a to 1b naturally. I say: Would you like to knohat the reporter was asking?

If one student knows the answer, he must stand up quickly before the second one stands up. If he gives the answer correctly, then his team can get one score. 教學(xué)設(shè)計說明：個比賽復(fù)習(xí)句型，效果更好。但務(wù)必要求學(xué)生說出整個句型。 Step 8 Who was the murderer?
