ss: yes, i can. i think they will walk to the store.
t: what will li ming buy at the store?
ss: i think he will buy a t-shirt and something else.
t: summer holiday is coming. li ming will go to china for his summer holiday. what will jenny and danny do next? do you know? do you want to know?
ss: yes, i want to know very much.
引出课文教学part 1。
〔设计说明：free talk有意识地复习本单元课文中学过的内容并引出本课时教学内容li ming is leaving soon. because summer holiday is coming. jenny and danny will have a party for li ming to say good-bye. 这样，由free talk所作的导入，至此就完成了与本课题非常自然的衔接。〕
step 2：learn the new words
1. learn the new words: early, late, begin
在黑板上话一只钟表，钟表指向开始上英语课的时间8：00。面向钟表，在左侧写上before，在右侧写上after。在before下面画一个钟表，指针指示上课前的7：40;在after下面画一个钟表，指针指示上课后的8：20。引导学生进行如下对话：
t: we are learning english now. this is english class. when does english class begin? when does it begin? at 8:00. when does it begin?
ss: at 8:00
t: right! (叫起一名自告奋勇的学生李岭，让他站在单词before下面) look! here’s li ling! he came before 8:00. he is early. early. is he early?
ss: early.
t: right! good for you, li ling! you are early for english class. (叫起一名自告奋勇的学生姚珊，让她站在单词after下面) look! what time does english class begin? when does it begin?
ss: at 8:00.
t: right! here’s yao shan. oh, no! now it’s after 8:00. she is late. is she late?
ss: late!
t: right!( 向yao shan)please don’t be late for english class!
〔设计说明：本环节突破教材重点，即单词early, late, begin。通过学校上课时间8：00 引出单词begin，并安排两个学生分别站在7：40、8：20的钟表下面，表示一个early，一个late。通过真实情境，让学生理解early, late, begin，使学生轻松掌握了三个单词。〕
2. learn the new word: surprise
利用角色表演来演示surprise。找一名自告奋勇的学生，让这名学生站到教室外面去。在这名自告奋勇者的书桌里面藏起一件意外的礼物(一面旗子)。教师说：let’s give lin yu a surprise. this flag is a surprise for her.然后那名学生回到教室，引导如下对话：
t： (向自告奋勇者)i put something in your desk.(向全班)does lin yu know what’s in her desk?
ss: no!
t： very good. lin yu doesn’t know what i put in her desk.. it’s a surprise! a surprise. say it , please.
ss: surprise.
t： yes! (向自告奋勇者)there is a surprise in your desk. can you find it?
自告奋勇者: yes!
t： what is it?
自告奋勇者: a flag!
〔设计说明：本环节通过“意外”游戏，既增添了课堂的趣味性，融单词于趣味教学中，又使学生很容易地surprise的意思，学生很乐于接受这种教学方式，并取得了另人满意的效果。〕
3. learn the new word: party
用单词卡片演示party，并用课件显示插图p56，引出对话：
look! this is a party, a surprise party. li ming doesn’t know this party. but in this party, steven, jenny, kim, danny, mr. wood, and li ming are coming. i think they will have fun in this party. do you think so? read after me.跟教师读几遍单词party
step 3 ：play games: 爱“拼”才会赢
1. 先让学生找到本节课所学与以前所学的相似的单词
party ---park early---ear late---lake
让学生总结这些单词的异同，利用“比较记忆法”快速记住单词。
2. 突破begin，surprise拼写难关
教给学生“分音节记忆单词法”，即双音节或多音节单词，把它们按音节分成若干小部party来记忆，如begin分成be + gin，surprise分成sur +prise。
〔设计说明：本环节专门利用“爱‘拼’才会赢”的游戏，增强了学生拼写单词的能力。时尚又贴切的名字，学生很喜欢接受、也很愿意做这样的游戏，同时在游戏中轻松快捷地记住了更多的单词。因为在“比较记忆法”中能同时比较记忆最少两个或者更多的单词，效果很好。而“分音节记忆单词法”使学生记忆单词更容易了。
