1、Unit 8 When is your birthday? 一、单元教材分析本单元主要学习日期的表达方式。本单元主要围绕“谈论日期”这一话题开展听、说、读和写的学习活动，学习序数词的构成以及运用序数词表示日期的方法；学会运用 when 引导的特殊疑问句询问日期；通过学习能掌握英语表达年、月、日的单词和句型，能够熟练地谈论各种有关日期的话题。此外，还要学习名词所有格 ( s 所有格 ) 的构成和使用；学习询问表达年龄的句型。能够询问及表达一些常见的节日的日期。21cnjycom二、单元学情分析本单元的主题是询问和谈论日期，围绕这一主题进行一系列的交际活动，使学生掌握日期的表达法，正确使用 whe
2、n 引导的特殊疑问句对日期进行询问。在学习日期的表达法时要先学习序数词的构成，学生在以前的课程里已经学习了基数词，对于两种数词之间的区别一定会令学生感到头痛，教师要引导学生运用对比的方法，找出构成规律，总结特殊变化，对比强化记忆。三、单元教学建议采用自主学习、小组合作探究、 Classifying ， Contrasting 和 Roleplaying 的学习策略，利用教学图片、幻灯片、实物 ( 大挂历、日历 ) 或制作课件 ( 反映月份特征，课内外活动 ) 等来展开课堂教学、 Pairwork 问答式的口语交际活动或游戏等小组活动，进行 “询问和谈论日期” 的课堂教学和练习。本单元的教学法建
