thoughts on the design:
本节课是以听、说为主的口语教学课。口语教学不仅要做到语言的“输入”，更要强调语言的“输出”，要充分调动起学生对本单元话题的兴趣，使学生“有话可说、有话会说”。教材由四幅图画和三个讨论题组成。首先通过图片展示了四位古今中外的“amazing people”,熟悉的人物能够激发学生的兴趣，让他们“有话可说”。三个讨论话题则引导学生进一步思考这些杰出人士所做的贡献以及他们对社会的影响，并让学生通过小组活动来展示自己心目中的英雄、描述他们的事迹。进而让学生总结出这些人物的共同点，引出“amazing people”的定义。最后引导学生树立“做一个对社会有贡献的人”的理想，达到德育渗透的目的。整堂课密切围绕话题，将一些有深度的话题穿插在图片讨论中，通过各种活动调动每个学生积极参与，使他们“有话会说”，并为下一步的阅读课做好充分的热身准备。
