Unit 22 A world of fun
一、教材分析
1、教材内容分析 在一定意义上，主题公园作为人类文明的一大体现，作为当今社会人们主要休闲、娱乐方式之一，是一个非常贴近生活、具有时代性、可深度挖掘的教学主题。本单元围绕a world of fun 这一主题开展听、说、读、写多种教学活动。单元语言素材涉及过山车、蹦极运动、自由落体车、赛车等娱乐方式及各类主题公园内容，具有典型的时代气息，有利于学生了解生活、运动与休闲，了解中外文化，增强世界意识，有利于培养积极的生活态度。
Warming up以图片形式引入本单元的话题之一：amusement parks；并通过情景对话，让学生了解并交流个体在文中所列出5类活动方面的体验、喜好及理由，以期扩展到其他活动内容。
Listening提供一个会议事例：在我城市建一个主题公园的招标大会上，Fun Fun Productions and Merry Rides Limited两个不同特色公司的代表人发表演说表达各自优势以争取承建权。在听音之前需要作恰当的导入，听时做课文1、2部分，听后独立思考，再作小组讨论：选择哪一家公司作为承建商及相应的理由。这一话题很具有社会化特点，可适当对发展性观点画龙点睛。
Speaking紧紧围绕“问路与指路”话题： 课内提供一张公园平面图，学生根据出发点和目的地的联系进行有意义的对话实践。Post-speaking内容扩展至生活实际情况。
Reading是一篇介绍主题公园的说明文。它包括主题公园的定义、特点，描述the World Park of China, the Ocean Park of Hong Kong, Disneyland in California 等主题公园；同时也引导学生了解和比较不同主题公园的特色，激发学生联想主题公园的未来发展，鼓励学生自行设计公园的主题活动，鼓励学生积极想象、培养创新能力。
Language study要求学生掌握和运用相应的词汇；了解分词的意义，学习掌握现在分词作状语的用法，区别运用分词的进行式作状语与完成式作状语结构。
Integrating skills阅读部分以rides为主题内容，鼓励学生创造、现象。写作部分主要引导学生写好对事物的描述材料。
学生在本单元的学习过程中，除了增长语言知识、提高语言技能外，更要拓展文化视野，发展跨文化交际的意识和能力；并且结合个人经验充分体验他人在个别主题活动方面的感受，加强合作意识、陶冶情操，提高自身素养。
