小学英语品质课堂教学研究之教材难点突破
PEP五（下）Unit 4 When is the art show?
A Let's try & Let’s talk微观难点突破
浙江省桐乡市实验小学教育集团人民小学 缪惠琴
难点一：在最新修订版的教材中，两个环节之间缺少合理的衔接：
在修订后的教材中，Let’s try环节的听力原文中，讨论的月份仍停留在April, 而 Let’s talk中的第一句由原来的There are some special days in April.更改为There are some special days in May。月份的不同，造成了原本连续的两个对话变得不连续了。难点二：这个对话的上下文不足以充分解释special的含义。故依据分类认知的原则，可以按照special year, special month, special day进行第一种分类；再按照“通常情况下的特殊(generally special )” (如festivals and holidays)和“具体情况下的特殊(specifically special)” (如special to me / my family / us / our school / good events / bad events等）进行第二次分类。
T: Boys and girls, let’s look at this picture.
SS: Mr Jones and Zhang Peng.T: What are they talking about? Can you guess?T: Yes! They are talking about the sports meet.T: Boys and girls, do you like sports meet?T: Zhang Peng is very strong. He often plays sports. He likes the sports meet very much! So he likes a month very much, too. Which month does he like best, March, April, or May? Can you guess?【说明】以图片导入，进行讨论。自由发散性回答 Mr Jones 和 Zhang Peng之间会产生的对话，教师都给予肯定和鼓励。紧接着联系学生自身的爱好转移至生活实际。通过枚举月份，使April和May同时出现，实现衔接。二、建立generally special days的概念的关键步骤T: Now, let’s listen and tick.SS: (work on the exercise)T: Right! Mr Jones and Zhang Peng are talking about April. April is a special month for Zhang Peng because the sports meet is in it. And he likes the sports so much! On which day will they have the sports meet?T: OK. (write: April 4th) Let’s read it: April the fourth. (write: 4th = fourth)T: So, this year, April 4th is a special day for Zhang Peng.And there are some other special days in the next month. What’s the next month?T: Do you know some special days in May?(SS say some days, like May Day and Mothers’ Day.T: There are more special days in May. Let’s look at this chart and say together:
These are special days for many people, for a school, or for the world. They usually happen in some months every year.【说明】根据听力文本，适当补充对话内容，以达到自然衔接到对话文本的目的。由月份过渡到具体的哪一天，引出五月里的一些special days，不仅再次实现衔接，而且建立了generally special days的概念。T: For the students in Zhang Peng’s school, they have two special days in May. They have a school art show and a reading festival.When are the school art show and the reading festival?Please read and find out.(After the students find out the answers, the teacher teaches the pronunciation of 5th/fifth. )【说明】：依据教材内容，让学生知道五月份该校也有special days，并让学生通过阅读找到具体日期。以此进入主体对话文本的教学。四、建立specifically special days的概念的关键步骤T: Children, May 13th is a special day for me! Do you know why?T: You are right. Our birthdays are always our special days. Some days are not our birthdays, but they are also special days for one person or one family.This June 4th is a special day for my son, because he got 100 in the English test. Do you have a special day like this? Why?T: Special days are not always good days. This year is a very special year. Do you know why?T: Yes, there is the Coronavirus. People are working hard to fight it. And March 8th is a special day for all women, but this year, March 8th was very special for me because my family bought a new house.(Show these two sentences on the screen as examples:This year is a very special year because there is the Coronavirus.March 8th of this year is a special day for my family because we bought a new house.) OK. Read together, please.Can you think of some special days like these?【说明】通过学生有亲身体验的或者熟悉的话题，理解specifically special days的含义，并借此机会开展语言运用。好消息！凌哥特别研发的英语书写便利贴，出新版本啦！
新版便利贴有什么变化呢？根据老师们的反馈，凌哥做了两个改变。黄色版适合三四年级的学生。四线三格的高度要大一些。初学书写的孩子们再也不用抱怨格子太小啦！比较上图就能看出。注意：图中的便利贴增加了薄膜包装（是厂家自作主张包上去的，以后的批次凌哥可能会要求去除包装，因为感觉有点不环保啊，您说呢？）
【1】专为英语学习而设计，可以随处贴、随处学。也可以用于听写，最多可以写15个单词。【2】特别设计的书写格，绿色贴中间格最宽(3mm)，第1格2.5mm，第3格2mm，让孩子专注于中间一格的规范性。黄色贴高度略微增加。这种不均匀高度，更加符合真实的书写需求。【3】第1线和第4线为虚线，第2线和第3线为实线，让孩子明确书写的位置。【6】最下方可填写“姓名”，防止学生之间相互搞错。“日期”可以用于记录书写、听写日期，还可以方便自己整理学习历史。【8】标准长方形便利贴（7.5CM*10.3CM），比正方形便利贴更方便书写英语。浙江大学、浙江师范大学、杭州师范大学、浙江外国语学院、云南师范大学、杭州电子科技大学、湖州师范学院、丽水学院、金华教育学院、温州教师教育院、嘉兴教育学院、陕西安康学院；小学英语教研员与名师国培班、湖南省小学英语骨干教师培训班、江浙沪三地小学英语教师联盟；杭州师范大学教师教育学院网络课程、腾讯课堂、一起云端教育论坛；广西南宁市、青海德令哈市、四川青川县、宁夏永宁县、安徽颍上县；杭州市（下城区、西湖区、拱墅区、江干区、余杭区、临安、富阳），嘉兴市（南湖、秀洲、经开区、嘉善、平湖、海盐、海宁、桐乡），湖州市（南浔区、德清县），绍兴市（柯桥区），宁波市（镇海区、江北区）；台州市（黄岩区、温岭市、仙居县）；金华市（婺城区、义乌市、兰溪市、东阳市）；丽水市（缙云、云和、景宁、松阳、龙泉）；衢州市（柯城区、开化县）；温州市（鹿城区、永嘉县、苍南县、泰顺县、洞头县）。中国教师研修网、中国教师教育网、唯佳未来教育科技、前沿课堂、杰尔特国际英语教学论坛、清瑞教育科技、一起作业网、弘育科技。上海外语教育出版社、浙江教育出版社、浙江大学出版社、浙江工商大学出版社、中国原子能出版社。《中小学外语教学》、《中小学英语教学与研究》、《小学教学设计·英语》、《英语周报》、《英语辅导报》、《浙江教育报》。
