　　教學點評及反思：

　　一．環節設計思路：

　　本課以讀寫為主線，最后的中心任務也落實在寫。

　　首先以聽和看引入，主要目的在于：一、回顧第一課時的主要內容，復習過去時；二、營造較輕松的語言環境，緩解部分學生對于讀寫的畏懼心理。接下來，從看圖說話引入讀寫，給學生鋪墊知識的過程。讀寫并不脫離聽說，因為語言是交流的工具，因此，在讀的過程中適當穿插說，既練習口頭表達，又鞏固了讀的成效。最后，本課的中心任務選自于學生目前很感興趣的哈里波特，即是任務，又象游戲，最后的展示是以日記的形式，這一點是根據課文練習來設計的。課下任務承接課堂任務，讓學生自由查找神話故事，講給同學聽，是鞏固過去時的練習。

　　二．課后反思：

　　學生是活動的主體，課堂上大部分的時間交給學生，教師的引導是關鍵。如何一層層的導入，由易至難的階梯狀任務何時引入，如何引入都是關鍵所在。同時要注意的是，學生活動之前的范例一定要明確清晰，要每個孩子都知道做什么和怎么做，活動才會順利的開展，學生才能在活動中有所得。

　　在課堂設計上體現了任型教學的主導思想，以任務貫穿教師教學和學生活動的各個環節。學生活動的目的明確，每個步驟教師都給出了活動所需的語言知識內容，學生亦能準確的使用目標語言，在活動中學習掌握知識。

　　教案點評：

　　本課以讀寫為主線，最后的中心任務也落實在寫。首先以聽和看引入，接著從看圖說話引入讀寫，在讀的過程中適當穿插說，既練習口頭表達，又鞏固了讀的成效。最后，本課的中心任務選自于學生目前很感興趣的哈里波特，即是任務，又象游戲，最后的展示是以日記的形式，課后活動讓學生查找并講述神話故事，鞏固過去時的練習。
