一、教材分析
主題公園作為人類文明的一大體現(xiàn)，作為當今社會人們主要休閑、娛樂方式之一，是一個非常貼近生活、具有時代性、可深度挖掘的教學(xué)主題。本單元以主題公園為背景，圍繞a world of fun 這一主題開展聽、說、讀、寫多種教學(xué)活動。單元語言素材涉及過山車、蹦極運動、自由落體車、賽車等娛樂方式及各類主題公園的不同特色，具有很強的時代氣息，貼近學(xué)生生活，有利于學(xué)生了解生活、運動與休閑，了解中外文化，增強世界意識，有利于培養(yǎng)積極的生活態(tài)度。
本單元的Warming up部分以圖片形式引入本單元的話題之一：amusement parks；并通過師生或生生自由問答，讓學(xué)生了解并交流個體各類活動方面的體驗、喜好及理由，從而引出話題amusement parks 和theme parks,為聽力部分和閱讀部分作必要的鋪墊。
Listening提供一個會議事例：在我市建一個主題公園的招標大會上，F(xiàn)un Fun Productions and Merry Rides Limited兩個不同特色公司的代表人發(fā)表演說表達各自優(yōu)勢以爭取承建權(quán)。在聽音之前需要作恰當?shù)膶?dǎo)入，聽時做課文1、2部分，聽后再作小組討論：選擇哪一家公司作為承建商及給出相應(yīng)的理由。這一話題具有社會性，時代性特點，在課堂上可以激發(fā)學(xué)生模擬真實語境進行創(chuàng)造性對話活動。
Speaking緊緊圍繞“問路與指路”話題： 課內(nèi)提供一張公園平面圖，學(xué)生根據(jù)出發(fā)點和目的地的聯(lián)系進行有意義的對話實踐。Post-speaking內(nèi)容擴展至生活實際情況。
Reading是一篇介紹主題公園的說明文。它包括主題公園的定義、特點，同時介紹了the World Park of China, the Ocean Park of Hong Kong, Disneyland in California三個不同的主題公園，引導(dǎo)學(xué)生了解和比較主題公園的不同主題，激發(fā)學(xué)生聯(lián)想主題公園的未來發(fā)展。Post-reading部分鼓勵學(xué)生自行設(shè)計主題公園活動，鼓勵學(xué)生積極想象、培養(yǎng)創(chuàng)新能力。
文章結(jié)構(gòu)思路如下：
1）What is a theme park? →
2）Know about 3 great theme parks:
The World park ---People can have fun and experience sth different.
The Ocean Park in Hong Kong ---People come for thrills and entertainment and know more about the idea behind the park.
Disneyland in California ---The theme is the world of Walt Disney and his characters. →
3）New theme parks are being built.
篇章結(jié)構(gòu)圖示：
What is a theme park?
Examples:
Three parks What do people
Themes, attractions experience and learn?
Theme parks in the future
課文線索內(nèi)容復(fù)述如下：
When you come to a wonderful theme park, you are sure to enjoy yourself. You can find a collection of rides, exhibitions and other attractions. They are based on a common theme. On one hand , people can have fun, thrills and entertainment. On the other, theme parks are designed to teach people something. Those who come for thrills will also know more about a certain subject, such as life in the ocean, the discovery of the ancient world, and life in the future. What’s more, you may imagine much new things if you think you cannot get enough of scary rides and exciting adventures. Then there will be new designs, and new theme parks will be coming.
