Is it a monster?
【教学内容分析】
本课是外研社小学英语新课标三年级起点第一册第8模块的第一单元，课标要求学生在图片和动作的提示下能够听懂简单的故事，并能做简单的角色扮演。课文通过Sam和朋友在室外玩风筝，而风筝的图案吸引了路过的小朋友，他们通过Is it a ...? Yes, it is./No, it isn't.来猜测那是什么东西。他们最后认为是Monster，吓得抱头大喊“help”, 这时Sam 从树后面出来，那两个小朋友也看清楚了他们看到的东西是kite，而不是monster.
生动形象的多媒体资源为学生提供了比课本更生动更真实更丰富的资源，更容易引起学生的兴趣，因此有助于培养学生观察和判断事物的能力，容易激发与培养学生的想象力，使学生可以在生动活泼的氛围中进行创新思维。

【教法和学法】 在教学中，我尽量采用直观教学法入手，抓住学生兴趣。通过制作PPT和光盘辅助教学，创设一系列情景，让学生在具体的情景中学习新单词、新句型，听听、看看、说说、读读。运用于语言交流，使整个教学源于生活，又用于生活，创设了真实的生活场景，使学生学有所用，体验成功的喜悦。我具体采用“任务型教学法”、“活动性教学法”和“情境教学法”来完成教学任务。借助小道具，进行小组对话，全班问答。在会话教学中鼓励学生勇于说，有感情，有条理地说，培养学生口头表达能力。

【课前准备】
CD-ROM、PPT、单词卡片数张、礼物盒、笑脸与哭脸的牌子。

Free talk
T: All of you can sing it very well. So I want to give you a present. Look, there are 2 presents. Can you tell me what’s the difference between the 2 presents? (guide the students to say one is new, and the other is old.)
T: (show the word card"new")new,n-n-new.(T makes the students read one by one.)
T:Listen carefully and guess, what's in the present?

T: As we know, on Sam’s birthday party, Sam receives so many presents! Look!So many presents.(T shows presents on the PPT) Do you want to know what’s in the box? If we don’t know, we can say " I don’t know". (T shows the card “I don’t know” ) OK! Now let’s guess. What’s in the box? Before we guess, let’s learn it together ”Is it a…?”(T writes it on the blackboard, and prctices this sentence pattern by reading in indivisual, by pair, by groups.)
T: You read it so loudly. Look, this present is from Daming, can yuou guess what’s in the box? Is it a pencil? Is it a …? (guide the Ss to use “Is it a…?” to ask.)
S1: Is it a pen?
T: Yes, it is.(T writes “Yes, it is” on the blackboard.)
(T makes Ss guess Daming and Ms Smart’s presents.This is easy for them.)
T: This present is from Amy, Can you guess? ( This is a little difficult for them to guess)
T:OK. Let's see together.Wow, it's a kite! (T shows the word card and teach the word)
T:Look, so many kites, dog kite, cat kite, bird kite and…Look, this is a monster kite, (T teaches “monster”) if we see a monster, we should cry”help!”

T:All of you have a magic eyes!Today Sam takes his kite to the park, and an interesting thing happened,let’s go to have a look!
(T plays the CD-ROM for the first time.)

Ss:3
T: Good！Can you read it?
T:Now show me your finger, listen and point, and read after the CD-ROM. Pay attention to the pronunciation.
Step 3、Practice（8min）
