28、ain clauses use Simple Past Tense. (Students may come to the conclusion through observation.) Then get the student to underline such sentences in the passage.STEP 5 Finding them outDuring the growth of Xi Wang, Xi Wang had many first-times Can you find them out.

29、tudents. 1.She started _(go) outside her home for the first time. 2.She began _ (eat) bamboo shoots and leaves. 3.She started _(look) after herself. In this way, the teacher directs the students attention to the use of to-infinitives after start and begin. STEP 6 Rewriting sentencesSay Sadly, it is
30、very difficult for giant pandas to survive in the wild. and write the sentence on the board. Then try to rewrite the sentence into the following sentences. It is dangerous for giant pandas to live on in the wild. They are in danger.These are some very important sentence patterns in the passage. Also
31、 it is necessary for the teacher to point out that live on has a similar meaning with survive. This may also help the students to understand that we can use be dangerous or be in danger to talk about a similar situation. STEP 7Finding out that why they are in dangerGet the students to find out that
32、why they are in danger. To make the task easier, the teacher can show the following before hand.

If people _ (find) baby pandas alone, they _(take) the
33、m away. As a result, the students attention will be easily drawn to the use of if-clauses. Guide the students to focus on the tense of the subordinate- clauses and main clauses. (I think it is OK for some teachers to use 主将从现 to make summary here. At least it may help the students to remember this p
34、henomenon.) Explain the phrases here killfor, cut down, have 7nowhere to live find sb. adj and takeaway.板书设计教学反思课 题 8A Unit 5 Grammar 课型 New教学目标 Using may for possibilityUsing verbs+to-infinitives教学重点 Using may for possibility, Using verbs+to-infinitives教学难点 Using may for possibility, Using verbs+to
