Step 6 Inquiry into knowledge by translation
Ask students to look at the following sentences and try to summarize the language rules and fill in the blanks. The students can help each other and have a discussion after doing the following by themselves.
一、I was waiting for the bus when it began to rain heavily. _______________________________ 句中when引导时间状语从句，翻译成“_____________”，相当于短语just at this time。该句用while改写是：____________________________________
①我刚想出去，这时电话铃响了。______________________________
②我正在街上行走，这时后面有人叫我。_____________________________________ 二、……I didn’t see a car coming. ______________________________________
coming 强调的是正在进行的动作，作宾补。see后可以用动词 _____________ 作宾补，但表示该动作已经完成。
①Excuse me, do you see an old man pass by? ___________________________________
②The bike hit her because she didn’t see it coming to her. __________________________
三、So while you were sleeping, I called Jenny and she helped me. _________________________ while的意思是“________”，相当于单词“_______”，两者有时可以互换，但前者更重在强调动作在进行中。如：
①你进来的时候我在看电视。I was watching TV ________ you came in.
②你给我打电话的时候我正在洗澡。__________ I was having a shower, you called me.
（设计意图：本节课的翻译探究先让学生自己做，然后组内讨论。如果组内学生能把答案都讨论出来并展示，教师用语言给予鼓励表扬，若讨论不出来，看其他组有能解决的吗，最后老师再点拨。配有的句子可以帮助学生更好地理解知识点。）
Step 7 The end-of-class test

1. I was _______ (walk) home when you called me.

3. 我的闹钟没响所以我起晚了。________________________________________
4.离开的时候要确保关好窗子。________________________________________
5. 昨晚雨下得很大。__________________________________________________

Step 8 Homework
1. Read the tape scripts. (★)
2. Preview 3a. (★★)
3. Retell the boy’s story according t o the pictures in 2a. (★★★)
本课亮点：
1. 在热身导入部分，从学生熟悉的现在进行时入手，逐渐过渡到过去进行时。同时让学生认识到了现在进行时和过去进行时的区别，加深了学生对过去进行时的理解。接着，在感知的基础上，试着说出填空内容，再次熟练过去进行时。最后，让学生在现实生活中运用所学的过去进行时——过去进行时的特殊疑问句、一般疑问句及其答语。
2. 在听力练习时让学生根据2a中的图片和问题进行猜测对话大意，这样的听前预测，不仅仅是为学生接下来的听做好心理准备，更重要的是让学生提前思考如何有针对性地听取信息。在听后活动中注重培养学生们的口头表达能力，通过仿读、背诵、表演引导学生更好地内化语言知识。在课堂小结时给学生提供思维导图，为学生自己总结本课所学内容指明了方向。
3. 通过教师寄语对学生进行情感教育，教育学生养成早起的好习惯，合理安排时间，快乐地过好每一天。
不足之处：
表演对话对部分后进生来说难度较大，可以让他们看着译文进行表演。
使用建议：
1. 课前准备好上课所要使用的各种图片。
2. 根据自己学生的实际情况，哪些环节需要压缩或删除还需再考虑。
