一、 教材分析
1． 課本內容分析
本單元的中心話題為“急救”，具體涉及一些緊急情況下應采取的急救措施，尤為詳細地陳述了“燒傷”的急救常識，并通過一個真實的第一時間對被刺傷者進行急救的故事闡明急救的重要性。語言學習的詞匯（詞性轉換與填詞）和語法（省略）以急救為載體展開，內容與形式相輔相成，學生在了解急救常識的同時掌握了與急救相關的詞匯和句子。
“熱身”（Warming up）部分呈現了急救的定義，并要求學生討論六幅畫里出現的緊急情況及應采取的急救措施。
“讀前”（Pre-reading）以圖片帶出“燒傷”的主題，要求學生討論“燒傷”情境下應采取的急救措施。“讀前”為“閱讀”部分進行了預熱和鋪墊。
“閱讀”（Reading）部分脈絡清晰，介紹了皮膚的作用、燒傷的起因、燒傷的種類、燒傷的特征及應采取的急救措施。
“理解”（Comprehending）部分設置了四個與閱讀相關的練習。首先是對課文內容的排序，其次是通過燒傷癥狀確定燒傷種類，再次是判斷所采取的急救措施的正誤，最后是與課文內容理解相關的問題。
“語言學習”（Learning about language）部分的“Discovering useful words and expressions”包括詞性轉換與填詞練習，涉及的詞匯均與單元主題“急救”相關；“Discovering useful structures”部分以與“急救”相關的句子呈現語法內容“省略”，操練的句子大多與“急救”相聯系，并通過簡化（劃掉累贅部分）和還原（寫出劃掉詞語）鞏固學生對“省略”用法的掌握。
“語言運用”（Using language）部分包括讀、討論、聽、說與寫。閱讀與討論部分以一個真實的故事突出急救的重要性，并通過學生的自主討論達到真正的領悟；聽、說、寫部分以急救常識訓練學生的聽、說、寫技能。
“小結”（Summing up）部分要求學生對急救常識（包括燒傷急救）、詞匯、省略及如何發出、書寫指令進行自評，以明確已掌握的和未掌握好的。
“學習建議”（Learning tip）部分以本單元閱讀文章的“First Aid Treatment”為例建議學生關注、研究真實文本。
2． 練習冊內容分析
練習冊內容與單元話題內容密切相連，涉及急救常識，如撥打急救電話注意事項、如何進行呼吸搶救、家庭安全須知等等，以聽、說、讀、寫不同的形式展開。語言練習部分的詞匯和語法均圍繞課文詞匯和語法“省略”展開，中心突出，目標明確，形式多樣。
“聽”（Listening）部分以一則家庭急救在訓練學生聽力技能的同時使學生掌握在撥打急救電話時應注意的各事項。
“說”（Talking）部分要求學生同伴以“聽”部分練習為基礎編寫并練習一則撥打急救電話的對話。
“單詞和習語的運用”（Using words and expressions）部分以字謎、朗讀、造句、填空、翻譯等不同形式復習鞏固本單元詞匯。
“語法結構的運用”（Using structures）以簡化與還原的形式練習操練本單元語法“省略”的內容。
“讀的任務”（Reading task）部分以“家庭安全知識”的篇章練習學生的猜詞、快速捕捉信息及綜合閱讀理解能力。
“聽的任務”（Listening task）部分以“如何進行呼吸急救”訓練學生“聽”的技能，也使學生掌握了新的急救知識。
“說的任務”（Speaking task）部分為急救常識小測，有利于學生充分了解和掌握一些基本的急救知識。
“寫的任務”（Writing task）部分以學生名義、書信的形式要求學校開出急救課程，是學生語言知識及急救常識的輸出練習。
“項目”（Project）部分要求學生同伴對家庭急救和必具用品進行整理與說明。
“自我評價”（Checking yourself）與課文的Summing up相呼應，是學生對本單元所學內容的自我評價，并明確努力方向。
