【设计意图】

学语言的目的是为了交流，能够听懂并表达出来是语言训练的目标，通过地道的语言材料让学生体会被动语态的用法。

Step 5：Practicing

Activity1

对话练习目标语。

Please practice the conversations in pairs.

组织Pairwork，1c 根据1b 中的信息，结对做对话。

A: This ring looks nice. Is it made of silver?

B: Yes, and it was made in Thailand.

【设计意图】

运用所给材料和虚拟语境，进行控制性练习，强调语言的准确性，为后面的半控制性练习和自主运用目标语言奠定基础。

Activity 2

就身边的或常用的物品，与周围的五个同学进行问答练习。

A: What's your pencil made of?

B: It's made of wood.

A: Where was it made?

B: It was made in Shanghai.

【设计意图】

逐步过渡到半控制性练习，难度的增加，会让学生进一步体会目标语言的构成，同时对话操练的扩大，增强了语境的真实性和趣味性，更能提高学习积极性。

step6: Homework

　Make five sentences, using:

be made of...be made in...

【设计意图】

在熟练说出语言材料的基础上，落实到笔头，初步运用一般现在时的被动语态。完成练习。
