Feedback:  

个人认为本堂课教学目标基本达成。在本课的教学过程中，笔者以“导学”作为自己的主要任务，借助精心设计的学案来指导、引导和辅导学生高效地掌握所学内容。面对难度较大的教学内容，笔者能对教材做出适当的调整，设计了由易到难层次分明的学习任务，并通过形式多样的教学活动调动学生的学习积极性和主动性，教学效果良好。

本节课的遗憾之处在于，节奏把握稍有欠缺，重点句型的讲解不够细致，影响了学生对后续内容的理解；某些任务之间的衔接稍显粗糙，使得部分学生思维没能及时跟进。要解决上述问题，可以在讲授重点句型时适当放慢语速，讲解过程中多观察学生的反馈情况，落实小组合作。另外，在学生小组活动时，部分学生积极性不高，主动性不强，致使训练效果低下，这是今后要重点解决的问题。

Han Han is a very special writer and he’s also a racing driver. He dropped (辍学) out of school when he was 17 because he didn’t want to go on studying.

Once he said: “Our teachers often say some students hold the class back like something dragging (拖) on a dog’s hind (后面的) legs. That’s ridiculous (荒谬的). Is a class a dog? Where are its front legs and its hind legs?” He has often criticized these things.

A lot of adults don’t like him because of his criticisms (批评). But young people think his personality is unique and attractive, so he has become a pop idol. I like him very much..

总体感觉这课堂进展得比较自然，顺利，学生始终处在主动参与和积极配合的状态之中，达到了预期的设想，体现了“学中用，用中学”的任务型语言教学理念。整体设计由易到难，从简单到复杂，大多数的时间是边应用边总结归纳，或归纳之后马上应用。任务贴近生活且有意义，易于承载语言和提高能力，体现了语言的工具性。

但在充分预设、重视生成等方面还有待加强，教师不能按部就班照教案死教，而要有更加灵活的操控和应变能力。

Thomas Edison was a famous American scientist. He was born in 1874. When he was a child, he liked to find out how things worked. He was in school for only three months. He asked his teacher a lot of strange questions. Most of them had nothing to do with his lessons. The teacher thought the boy was not bright and was not worth teaching. When he told this to Edison’s mother, she took her son out of school. As she had been a teacher, she taught him herself. The boy read a lot. Soon he became very interested in science. At the age of ten, Edison had already built a chemistry lab for himself. Ever since then, he had never stopped searching for new and better ways to do things.
