教学反思：

Unit7 Chinese festival story time ，主要是介绍了中国的四大传统节日，从时间、活动、食物三个方面展开描述。本节课是复习课，其中主要复习十二个月份名称、四个节日名称、还有mountain, dragon boat races, dumplings等活动，内容比较多，教师需要多加活动来激发学生的已有知识。

   节课的重点是复习十二个月份，接触The…(节日) is in…(月份).的句型，学会介绍四个中国节日的标志性活动和食物。所以吴老师还是选择以歌曲导入的形式来展开这节课，学生轻轻跟唱We wish you a merry Christmas 这首歌，因为关于圣诞节的知识是在上学期最后一单元学的，以这首歌唤起学生对圣诞节的记忆。接着再来Brainstorm ,让学生自己说出他们所知道的中国节日，以此导入到课文的学习。复习课文单词的时候，吴老师也注意让单词与图片相结合，使学习单词不再是一件枯燥的事。学生的领悟力挺高，吴老师只是展示了一张秋天的图片，他们经过提示，也能猜出这是Mid-Autumn Festival.
