英语人教版六年级下册六年级下册第八单元
教学设计
课前准备：
1、呈现五年级上册十二单元学过的禁令标识，鼓励学生用不同的句式来说说这两个标识的含义。
2、让学生交流在哪里可以看到这些禁令标识。
教学过程：
1、出示Look and learn 中的六个标识，请学生仔细观察中间儿六个标识有什么不同，并讨论如何将它们分成两类。
2、引导学生思考：同一标识可以用哪些不同的方式表达，教师板书句式。
3、出示Listen and say 的图片，请学生观察图中的四个标识，猜测他们分别表示什么意思。
4、播放Listen and say 的录音，学生边听边看图片。然后请学生回答问题，帮助学生理解课文的意思。
交流展示：
1、请学生完成Listen and say 的后续练习。教师在教师内来回巡视，适时给予必要的帮助，然后集体核对答案。
2、教师呈现四个话题，然后把学生分成四个小组，请每个小组选择一个话题进行讨论，画一画在这个地方常见的标识，并配上文字提示，然后请部分小组上台交流。

pep小学英语六年级毕业总复习资料
PEP小学英语毕业总复习 一：易错词汇 1. a, an的选择: 元音音素开头的单词用an，如：an a nt/ e gg/ i ce-cream/ o range/ u mbrella辅音音素开头的单词用a. 2. am , is , are的选择: 单数用is , 复数用are，I 用am , you 用are. 3. have , has 的选择: 表示某人有某物。单数用has , 复数用have, I \you 用have . I / you/ we have many books. He/ She has many books. 4. there is, there are 的选择:表示某地有某物或某人。单数用there is , 复数用there are. There is a bed in the bedroom. There are some/ many books on the desk. Are there any books on the desk? 5. some, any 的选择:肯定句用some, 疑问句和否定句用any. 6. 疑问词的选择: what (什么) who (谁) where (哪里) why（为什么）when(什么时候）how (如何) which（哪一个）how old (多大) how many（多少）how much（多少钱/多少）whose (谁的) 二：形容词比较级详解 比较级的句子结构通常是：主语+ be动词(am , is , are ) + 形容词比较级+ than（比）+比较对象,如： I’m taller and heavier than you. （我比你更高和更重。） An elephant is bigger than a tiger. （一只大象比一只老虎更大。） 形容词的比较级是在形容词的基础上变化而来的，它的变化规则是： ①一般的直接在词尾加er ，如tall - taller , strong - stronger , ②以e结尾的，直接加r ，如fine – finer , ③以辅音字母加y结尾的，先改y为i再加er，如funny - funnier heavy--heavier ④双写最后的字母再加er，如big – bigger, thin – thinner ,hot – hotter ☆注意☆比较的两者应该是互相对应的可比较的东西。 典型错误：My hair is longer than you.（我的头发比你更长。）比较的两者是我的头发、你（整个人），那么比较的对象就没有可比性。 应该改为：My hair is longer than yours. 或My hair is longer than your hair. (yours=your hair) 三：动词过去式详解动词的过去式的构成规则有：
