教材简解
本单元围绕“谈论节日里所做的事”这一话题展开教学活动，其中出现了过去式的一般疑问句形式。学生通过学习，能了解中西方一些节日的时间，习俗和文化背景，并能理解运用新句式。
目标预设
1. 能掌握节日单词 Children’s Day、Halloween、Mid-Autumn Festival、Dragon Boat Festival和Spring Festival。
2. 能通过课前的信息搜集，课上的团队合作以及课后的自学，掌握以下节日：New Year’s Day、Easter、 May Day、 National Day 。
3. 能掌握四会句型：When’s…?It’s in…
What do people usually do at/on…?They…
4. 能了解一些国际节日和中、西方节日的基本知识、文化背景以及风俗习惯，使学生学的不仅是英语这门语言，还有英语国家的文化内涵，从而提高学生的文化素养和国际观 。
教学重、难点
能掌握所学节日的正确读音，尤其是 festival和delicious；能熟练掌握四会句型，并能灵活进行替换训练，从而进一步来巩固一般过去时的知识。
设计理念
《英语课程标准》指出，关注学生学习兴趣，倡导体验，实践，参与，合作与交流的学习方法和任务型的教学途径，发展学生的综合语言运用能力，培养跨文化交际意识。我认为，小学英语的学习，应充分利用多媒体教学优势，使学生在愉快自信的状态下，充分发挥自己的能力，培养学生的合作意识，使探究式和自主性学习得到最大的体现和融合。
设计思路
本着“创境、拓展、合作、自主”的原则，我做了如下设计。第一，灵活处理教材。将B部分9个节日单词分解为二：其中5个较难的由老师教授，另外4个节日由于有一些是复现单词，学习难度不大，由学生通过课前准备，课上合作，以及课后自学的方式完成。并且，在教授单词时采用分音节教学法、组词拼读法等多种形式活化课堂教学。第二，充分利用多媒体和网络资源的优势，优化课堂教学。根据教学内容，适当拓展一些节日知识，并播放英语歌曲和节日小故事，提高学生的学习兴趣，并向教材外延伸。第三，通过创设“打电话”这一情境，自然聊到中西方的一些节日，从而教授节日单词，以及了解相应的习俗，采用任务型的教学途径，力求通过多样化的操练和游戏活动，达到一定的掌握度。由学生自己通过观察和思考，发现并总结规律，以此来培养学生自主性学习的能力。
