三年级英语开学第一课教案

　　Step 1 Enjoy Life

　　At the beginning of our class, I wish you a Happy New Year and success in your study.

　　All of you look great. So you must have had a good time during the Spring Festival. Could you share your happiness with us?

　　Now sit in groups of four and tell the other 3 deskmates what made you smile. You can speak in turn. But you must speak in English. If you have troubles, just raise your hands.

　　压岁钱：money given to children as a lunar New Year gift

　　放烟火：light fireworks

　　Who want to speak out your happiness, sharing it with all of us?

　　You are so lovely and life is so beautiful. So first I hope you can enjoy life, even though you’ll face difficulties.

　　Step 2 Enjoy English

　　During this winter vocation, I was very tired because my mother-in-law fell ill and I had to look after her. Fortunately, I have music. When I was tired, I listened to music, which made me relaxed. Now let’s enjoy a beautiful song.

　　While listening, try to fill in two blanks. You can write them down on the paper.

　　Reaching for /Wishing, the grammar point and the phrases are what we learned last semester. （现在分词做伴随状语）.

　　What story do you think the song wants to tell us?

　　You see, you’ve got a wide enough vocabulary to enjoy English songs, movies, news, websites and so on. So my second wish is that you can enjoy English. If you pick up English in this way, you’ll like English, and find English not difficult at all.

　　By the way, this song is the Song of the Year at the 2011 Grammy Party. Do you know how Lady Gaga arrives at Grammys?(in a Giant egg lifted by four men) Do you know how Justin Bieber looks in his new hairstyle?(very handsome of course). You can visit this website to find everything you are interested in.

　　Step 3 A better understanding of cultures

　　In addition to the Grammys, there are two other big events in this week. What are they?

　　Why is it called Valentine’s Day instead of lovers’ day?

　　I’ve prepared a passage introducing the festival to you.

　　Now we know people observe Valentine’s Day not only to show love, but also to remind people of whoever devoted themselves to making the world more beautiful.

　　So learning English is a good way to have a better understanding of different cultures. You are sure to have chances to communicate with foreigners, so please introduce Yuanxiao Festival to foreigners. Let’s translate the passage into English, paragraph by paragraph.

　　Step 4 Requirements for the new term

　　You should put your heart into learning English, enjoying English. Thus, you’ enjoy your life!
