一、教材分析

　　主題公園作為人類文明的一大體現，作為當今社會人們主要休閑、娛樂方式之一，是一個非常貼近生活、具有時代性、可深度挖掘的教學主題。本單元以主題公園為背景，圍繞a world of fun 這一主題開展聽、說、讀、寫多種教學活動。單元語言素材涉及過山車、蹦極運動、自由落體車、賽車等娛樂方式及各類主題公園的不同特色，具有很強的時代氣息，貼近學生生活，有利于學生了解生活、運動與休閑，了解中外文化，增強世界意識，有利于培養積極的生活態度。

　　本單元的Warming up部分以圖片形式引入本單元的話題之一：amusement parks;并通過師生或生生自由問答，讓學生了解并交流個體各類活動方面的體驗、喜好及理由，從而引出話題amusement parks 和theme parks,為聽力部分和閱讀部分作必要的鋪墊。

　　Listening提供一個會議事例：在我市建一個主題公園的招標大會上，Fun Fun Productions and Merry Rides Limited兩個不同特色公司的代表人發表演說表達各自優勢以爭取承建權。在聽音之前需要作恰當的導入，聽時做課文1、2部分，聽后再作小組討論：選擇哪一家公司作為承建商及給出相應的理由。這一話題具有社會性，時代性特點，在課堂上可以激發學生模擬真實語境進行創造性對話活動。

　　Speaking緊緊圍繞“問路與指路”話題： 課內提供一張公園平面圖，學生根據出發點和目的地的聯系進行有意義的對話實踐。Post-speaking內容擴展至生活實際情況。

　　Reading是一篇介紹主題公園的說明文。它包括主題公園的定義、特點，同時介紹了the World Park of China, the Ocean Park of Hong Kong, Disneyland in California三個不同的主題公園，引導學生了解和比較主題公園的不同主題，激發學生聯想主題公園的未來發展。Post-reading部分鼓勵學生自行設計主題公園活動，鼓勵學生積極想象、培養創新能力。
