Unit 2 This is my sister.
一、单元教材分析
本单元围绕“家庭成员”这一主题展开听、说、读、写等多种教学活动。教学核心
是用英语介绍家人和朋友，通过本单元的学习学生应该掌握对家庭成员的称呼；通过谈论“家庭”的话题，使学生学会并掌握“介绍人物、识别人物”的基本句型，进一步体会一般疑问句的用法，学会运用指示代词介绍人物，学会运用人称代词询问人物。如：This is my sister。 Is that your brother? These are my parents。 Are those your brothers? 以及Who开头的特殊疑问句，一般疑问及其简单回答；运用名词的复数形式。能够用英语向朋友介绍自己的家人，从而让他们了解自己的家庭。
二、单元学情分析
从教材编排上说本单元是就第一单元认识朋友之后，仍接着学习用英语认知人，而与学生最为熟悉的人就是家庭成员，由了解同学们的名字很自然过度到了解对家庭成员的名字，以及对家庭成员的称呼，对学生们来说比较容易接受。以前学的your, his, her, my等形容词性物主代词，在本单元中扔是重点学习的任务；但在本单元要接触名词的复数形式，以及be动词的复数形式，且本单元生词较多，因此本单元的学习任务比较艰巨。
三、单元教学建议
本单元的学习应通过对人物个性化的描述，识别照片、图片，多媒体展示、真实情景表演等学习策略来掌握家庭成员的表达；学会指示代词、人称代词及Who问句及简单回答。为学生创设真实的学习情景，让学生以小组形式交流学习，并在课堂上循环训练。 通过介绍家人和了解朋友的家人，增进彼此的了解，建立友谊，从而更好地尊重对方，理解家人。
