Unit 8 When is your birthday?

　Teaching and learning Goals

一．语言知识目标

1)3a-self check的主要内容是复习、巩固"节日和活动日期的表达"

2）学会谈论自己、同学以及朋友的日常生活与学习；并能以书写形式表达自己的喜欢与不喜欢的节日或活动。

二．语言功能

通过谈论一些中外节日的日期安排来复习"日期的表达，这一目标语言，也就是将这一知识灵活运用到日常的交际活动中 。

三．学习策略

利用教学图片、幻灯片、实物(课内外活动、日程行事历)或制作课件(反映课内外活动)等来展开课堂教学、问答式的口语交际活动或游戏等小组活动，复习、巩固"活动和节日"的目标语言。

四．情感态度

用节日进行训练，为后面的写作奠定基础,同时课内外的一些活动，非常贴近学生的学习生活。通过互相询问课内外活动的安排日程，不仅可以增进同学之间的了解和友情，而且还能学会合理地安排自己的作息时间，养成有规律地生活、学习的好习惯。每个人都有自己所喜欢的日子和理由，但理由也许各不相同，让学生将所学的知识在实际交流中熟练运用。
