本单元的课文比较长，关键是文章是对话的形式，而且文中出项的人物比较多，如果还是按照以往的方式让学生看图片、听磁带，相信学生理解起来会有一定难度，所以我把整篇课文分成三部分来教，而且分别设计不同的环节：

Watch and answer

1. What day is it today?

2. What time is it now?

3. Do the children have school today?

4. Whom is David going to call?

5. What are they talking about?

Watch and choose

1. What is Gao Shan going to do today?

A.See a play with his father

B.See a Beijing opera with his father

2. Is  David going to join them?

A.Yes ,he is.           B.No, he isn’t.

3. When and where will they meet?

A.At one thirty in front of the Sun Theatre.

B.At one thirty in front of the Garden Theatre.

Watch and fill in the form

通过这三个环节，层层递进，对于学生的要求也越来越高，逐步引导学生理解课文，最后在此基础上，然后要求学生根据课文内容完成填空，对知识进行综合运用。

It is 8:30 on Saturday morning. The children do not                    . David is __________Gao Shan. They are talking about their______________ for the weekend. On Saturday ,Gao Shan and his Dad are going to

__________a Beijing opera . David would like to _______ them. On Sunday, David             play the violin at the ____________.Nancy is going to                    .Gao  Shan will go________  Wang Bing, Liu Tao and Yang Ling.

一节课下来觉得课堂内容丰富、饱满，而且学生学得比较轻松，掌握得比较好。
