　　教学反思：

　　一．环节设计思路：

　　本课以游戏形式的猜动物名称引入，首先让学生通过游戏中的练习，尽快熟悉各种动物的英文名称。然后导入到三个链状承接的任务上。第一个任务通过听力引入本课的第一组重点句型，即询问喜欢何种动物及其原因。然后在同学中做一个调查，看看大家都喜欢些什么动物以及喜欢的原因，为第二个任务积累资料。任务二是真实任务前的模拟，让学生从大家喜欢的动物中挑选两至三种安排小组去动物园的参观路线。真实任务是来源于对秋游的设想，打算组织学生去动物园，分小组活动，要求各小组有自己的参观计划，必须明确列出参观各种动物的顺序以及原因，并根据地图说出大致的方位。课堂完成任务后，课后任务对课堂的延伸和巩固，因此选择了学生较感兴趣的野生动物问题，同时兼有美术和生物学科的学习，一举多得。
