五、教学设计
1. 总体思路：
本节课是在多媒体的课堂教学环境下实施的大容量、快节奏的课堂教学.笔者先让学生简短描述父母以前和现在的职业,外貌,性格,爱好再欣赏英文歌曲thank you, dad. 导入，酝酿了一种感激父母的氛围，接着引导他们畅诉父母对自己的帮助的故事，然后让学生阅读短文，感受母亲爱的伟大。在阅读过程中，通过让学生看标题，预测课文内容、概括文章段落大意、根据上下文填所缺的句子，判断正误等各种方式提高阅读技能。最后，笔者提供关键词让学生复述课文，使其能熟练得掌握所学的重点词汇、短语和句子。阅读后，笔者抛出这样的问题让学生讨论：我们该用什么方式报答父母？培养学生反哺意识。最后通过写作，提高学生综合运用语言的能力。
