Starter Unit 2 What’s this in English？
No. 110 Middle School by Cao Yi
課程目標
一、知識和能力目標
本單元的核心教學內容是“認物”。用英語確認周圍的常見事物比較符合英語初學者的實際情況。通過本單元教學，使學生運用所學句型，去熟悉周圍事物的名稱；教學生學會在實際生活中如何確認事物。通過辨認物體，學生學到一些生詞，并鞏固所學句型。
二、過程和方法目標
教師要盡量使學生對課文中出現的句型能夠熟練上口，這樣，學生才能順利開展比較靈活的對話。教師可以用手勢，表情，動作等示意，幫助學生聽懂課堂教學內容，但在實際操作中應盡量避免“明知故問”的傾向，應該采用應用性原則；如：遮蓋物品、顯露局部、辨認物體、完形識別、圖形辨認等方法。
三、情感態度和價值觀目標
目標在學生學習過程中的作用至關重要，教師要幫助他們建立起一個切合自己實際的目標，通過漸進的學習以及一點一滴的進步，使他們逐步建立起成功感。成功越多，自信心就越強。
學情分析
代詞this，that和it的用法。
this和that均指單數的事物。this指處于說話者近處的事物；that指處于說話者遠處的事物。而it則指代上文出現的單數的事物，也可指代上文出現的this或that。例如：
A：What’s this? 這是什么?
B：It’s a pen．這是支鋼筆。
c：And what’s that over there? 那邊的是什么?
B：It’s a ruler．那是把尺子。
