9、，南部城市Atlanta ），和西部大草原（ bison ）来了解美国， 感受美国的变迁过程Period 1 Warming up &speaking本节课从一个“猜猜她是哪个国家”的游戏导入。接着通过美国地图和一张表 格来了解她的概况。 然后是一组图片 （包括著名的城市和人物） ，目的是为听力和阅 读做铺垫，降低难度。再做一个对错小测试，增加学生对美国的了解。根据游戏的 做法进入口语部分。 要求学生写一小段文字描述一个场所， 用上 useful expression, 让其他学生猜猜是哪里。在写之前先造句，掌握常用句型Are there？ Thereis .i n the n orth .

13、学成就都很值得老师引 导学生去了解， 这对学好英语是有很大的帮助的。 尤其是能够体会领悟美国的社会 特征和人文特点，在学生阅读文章时就能够减少好多障碍。但是内容涉及很广，我 们不可能在一个单元的时间内让学生都了解，但是应当鼓励学生上网或去图书馆查 阅资料，自主学习。同时也应该提醒学生思考中国和美国这两个国家的相似的地方 和不同的地方，做一些比较四教学程序Teaching plan for Unit 16Period 1 Warming up & SpeakingGoals:1.
