Unit 1 What’s the matter ? （Period 1 ）
学情分析：本节课的教学对象是八年级学生。
八年级在初中阶段起着承上启下的作用，学生已掌握了一些英语基础知识，但综合运用语言的能力和习惯还没形成，从英语文章中获取信息和用英语表达自己想法的能力还有待提高。
他们正处于由感性向理性的转型期，学习中他们依然喜欢从游戏或活动中获取知识。
教学中老师要根据学生这些特征，遵循循序渐进的原则，化难为易让他们轻松愉快地掌握知识。

教学思路分析：这是一节听说课，话题是谈论健康问题并给出建议，分为听前、听中、听后和输出几个部分。
听前是为听中做准备的，首先通过图片和游戏复习身体各部位名称，其次，通过图片和情境呈现目标语言What’s the matter ?和新单词fever，headache, sore throat等。
然后通过讨论书上的图片预测听力内容，激发学生听的欲望，为下一步的听做好充分准备。
听的过程中，分别设置由易到难不同的听力任务，训练学生的各项听力技能。
听后让学生根据听力内容编出自己的对话，然后再让他们运用所学单词和句型去完成一个新对话，达到学以致用的目的。
