11) We must save the trees and not buy things made of ivory.
1.1.1.3 Grammar Focus
1) We are students from Thailand, and we want to save the elephants. (这是一个由并列连接词and连接的并列句,and前后两句是平行的关系,and本身没有涵义,只起连接作用,可以不翻译出来。前句中介词from表示“来自于……”,与Lions are from South Africa.中的from相同;后句中动词want之后常接动词不定式,表示“想做某事”。)
2) They can also draw.(此句中用了情态动词can和副词also,在Unit 1中我们学到情态动词后接动词原形;also这个副词表示“也”,用于肯定句,它在句中的位置与always, often等表示频度的副词一样,通常位于普通动词之前,be动词、助动词或情态动词之类的特殊动词之后。)
3) This helps them to live.(此句意思是“这个帮助它们生存”。动词help之后的搭配通常有help sb. (to) do sth.,用动词不定式作宾语补足语,其中动词不定式符号to可以省略,表示“帮助某人做某事”,若不需要动词,则用help sb. with sth.,如:“帮助我父母做家务”,以下几种说法都是正确的:help my parents (to) do the housework= help my parents with the housework。)
4)We must save the trees and not buy things made of ivory.(情态动词must与can一样,后面接动词原形,表示“必须做某事”,此句中连接词and连接must之后的两个动词,save the trees和not buy things made of ivory,表示前者是必须做的,后者是不可以做的。made of ivory属于过去分词短语,作后置定语修饰前面的things,表示“用象牙制成的东西”或“象牙制品”。)

2.0 Student analysis学情分析
2.1 Fundamental State基本情况
本课时是一节阅读课,文本是以一群泰国学生名义所写的关于保护泰国大象的倡议书。文本介绍了有关泰国大象的一些知识:它们能做些什么,它们的生活习性(这两项可以看成是本单元前面几个课时所学知识在语篇环境之下的运用),还介绍了它们目前的生存状况及相关数据,“选标题”和“填写思维导图”两个阅读任务的设置,可以较好地培养学生阅读能力。让学生在基本的阅读策略的教学渗透下也有情感上的引领,让学生有表达的愿望,实现“用英语做事”的教学目标。
2.2 Knowledge Reserve知识储备
通过本单元Section A 的学习和Section B第一课时的学习,学生已经能熟练掌握一些常见的动物的名称,能够使用描述性的形容词对各种动物进行描述,能够使用why, what和where引导的特殊疑问句进行问答,能够表达自己对动物的喜好以及说出喜欢或不喜欢的理由。所有这些为学生理解本课时阅读文本进行了较好的准备。同时,阅读文本所涉及的“保护动物”的话题,也是学生并不陌生的热门话题。学生感到困难的地方主要可能有两方面:一是生词和短语比较多,这会造成他们对文本理解的困难,识记和运用这些生词短语对多数学生来说也是一个不小的挑战;其二是选出正确的标题的阅读任务,这在以前的阅读教学中是较少涉及的。
2.3 Class data本班实际
本班学生学习目的明确,能够在小组活动中互相帮助,积极与他人合作,敢于用英语进行表达。学生在电脑方面的能力,可以让他们在本课时之前查找有关濒危动物的视频和图片并在课堂上进行分享;他们在思品课上所学的相关知识和参加环保征文所涉及到的知识也可以运用到本课时的学习中来。读前的视频分享和讨论交流,可以较好地为文本理解服务。在读中教师可以帮助学生理解文本所传达的信息,引导学生进行思考,通过思维导图进行有效的思维训练和记忆文本信息能力的训练。
