thoughts on the design:
通过语法规则的阐述及附加例子的说明，让学生在观察、体验、讨论、合作、参与和探究的过程中充分理解并比较全面系统地掌握本单元的语法知识。练习设计尽量贴近学生生活实际或和本单元话题相联系。努力使语言学习的过程成为学生主动思维、大胆实践、从而形成自主学习能力的过程。
teaching aims:
after the lesson, the students will get a clear idea of the cases where future in the past is used. they will be able to use the tense in different forms. besides, they will improve their reading skills by doing a lot of reading with tenses like future in the past or future continuous tense in it.
teaching procedures:
step 1 warming up & lead-in
test the students’ knowledge of tenses by giving them a quiz.
tell what tense is used in each sentence:
1.many teenagers like reading adventure stories. (simple present)
2.i have read about an adventure in africa. (present perfect)
3.toby and colin will live with the local people in their villages. (simple future)
4.they will be walking everyday for two weeks. (future continuous)
5.you were having a meeting at this time yesterday. (past continuous)
6.they held a party on the campus last weekend. (simple past)
7.he is now living an interesting life in africa. (present continuous)
8.they set off at 9 a.m. and would reach the airport an hour later. (simple past & future in the past)
for the 8th sentence, help the ss to say the new grammar item “future in the past” and write it down on the blackboard.
[explanation]
这样的知识竞赛不仅让学生对以前学过的时态进行回顾，往往还能刺激学生的思维，让他们在课堂开始的时候就高度集中思想，从而为下一个环节的学习做好充分的准备。
