[设计意图] 从两个问题开始入手："今天谁值日？今天的天气怎么样？"再问到"昨天谁值日？昨天的天气怎么样？"让学生对一般过去时态有个初步的了解和印象。

2． OK. Before the class, let's enjoy an English song: "Old MacDonald had a farm" and have Ss find out the animals in the song (Get Ss answer like this: On the farm, there are some ducks, cats, chickens, cows pigs, dogs and horses. They are animals.)

[设计意图] 在学生欣赏音乐的同时，让他们找出农场中所出现的动物，这样既复习了以前所学过的单词chicken, dog, duck, pig, 又引出了本堂课关于动物的新单词：cow.与此同时也给学生创造了本堂课的情境：on the farm.

Step 2 Presentation （课程呈现）

1．Show a picture and tell Ss: This is also a farm. Last week Carol and his classmates had a school trip. They went to the farm. What did they do on the farm? How was their school trip? So at this lesson, we will talk about "How was their school trip?"

[设计意图] 由之前歌曲中的农场顺理成章的过渡到课本中的农场，这样既不会让学生觉得突兀，又会让他们对本节课的学习产生浓厚的兴趣，并巧妙的引出本堂课的主题："How was their school trip?"

2．Show some pictures again and try to get the past tense verbs expressions according to the pictures. Please follow me. （师带读，齐读，点名读）

went for a walk fed the chickens talked with farmer

took some photos milked a cow rode a horse

[设计意图] 本节课的重点就是需要掌握这6个动词短语，为了使学生能够正确运用它们，所以必须多花时间让他们以各种形式去读、去记忆。

3．T: Please follow me. Ask some students to answer the questions.

Q: Did he ride a horse?

A: Yes, he did. He rode a horse.
