八年级英语下册unit 3 What were you doing when the UFO
八年级英语下册unit 3 What were you doing when the UFO arrived?单元话题作文设计
徐闻县第一中学 王芳芳
一、本单元话题分析
本单元的话题是“Interesting events”，通过单元学习，要求学生掌握如何用过去时态谈论过去发生的事情，并能运用过去时态讲述一个故事。语法结构要求掌握由when 和 while引导的时间状语从句、过去进行时以及一般过去时。在了解目标语言的基础上，要求学生能读懂描述过去经历的文章，并进行模仿写作训练，描述一段不寻常的经历。
Section A 1a通过让学生把几个不同的人及其在UFO出现的相应位置进行配对，初步呈现本单元的目标语言，即talk about past events。1c是一个会话活动，让学生练习when 和while引导的时间状语从句和过去进行时的表达法。3b是对学生目标语言运用能力的检验，要求学生能看图口头复述故事。4是一个小组活动，让学生结合自己的生活实际，以采访的形式练习过去进行时的用法。
Section B 2c要求学生仿照例句谈论2a中列出的行为，练习while引导的时间状语从句的用法。4a提供了几幅图画，要求学生能根据图画内容写一段故事，练习用过去时写作。4b是一个角色扮演活动，要求学生根据提示的情境用所学过去时进行会话练习。
Reading Section3 3b是一个写作练习，要求学生模仿阅读文章，以自己生活中的一个记忆犹新的事件为中心，描述当自己听到这件事情时正在做什么。
二、写作设计（教学指导）
1、审题
1）确定写作的话题（Interesting events）
2）明确体栽：记叙文、书信或邮件
3）确定写作人称
4）确定时态主要运用：when 和 while引导的时间状语从句、过去进行时以及一般过去时。
5）题型设计：命题作文，提示性作文、图表作文
2、设计与布置写作任务
教学具体流程
整理思路——组织素材——规划文章结构——列出提纲——遣词造句——组织语言——起草文章——集体/同伴批改修订——形成二稿——展示批改。
1）整理思路——组织素材
Interesting events的话题是回忆我们过去生活中有趣的话题，作为学生都有自己的兴趣爱好，回忆什么？当时你在做什么？
指导建议：本单元话题是谈论过去发生的事情，运用when 和 while引导的时间状语从句、过去进行时以及一般过去时。
2）规划文章结构——列出提纲
由于已经基本确定要写的内容，文章开头用一句话说明自己过去某一时候，你在什么地方；主体部分重点阐述过去某一时候，你在做什么。
3）组织语言——起草文章
罗列出学过的兴趣爱好的短语，学生动笔写作，老师走动观察学生写作情况，解决学生写作时出现的问题。
4）集体批改——同伴批改修订——形成二稿——展示
学生互评后，老师抽样与全班同学一起点评，指导学生如何批改，学生从中也学会了怎样写好作文（如何找到作文的错误的地方或不足点，同时也要找到该作品的亮点）。
3、写作拓展
周末, 同学都喜欢到公园游玩，根据下列要点，描述你班同学上周周末公园游玩时的情景。
上周周末, 全班同学到公园游玩。天气宜人，公园到处是绿树和鲜花。
上午，有的同学唱歌、跳舞，有的打排球或羽毛球（badminton）。
吃完午饭，划船、登山，虽然很疲劳，但是很高兴，我们玩得非常痛快。
天色晚了，乘车返回学校。
4、教学小结
(1)、写作课不是教语言知识点，而是教学生如何运用目标语言来谋篇布局的写作技能，同时也适时地贯穿一些做人的道理。
(2)、用多种批改方式，提高学生对语言的运用能力。互相批改是个省时省力的方法，但前提是老师先教学生基本的批改方法。还有，老师不能把所有的工作由学生自己负责，在学生批改后，要进一步检查。

Unit 3 what were you doing when the ufo arrived?
【重难点分析】
一. 过去进行时
过去进行时表示过去某一时刻或者某段时间正在进行或发生的动作，常和表过去的时间状语连用。过去进行时的构成：
肯定形式：主语+was/were+V-ing
否定形式：主语+was not (wasn't)/were not (weren't)+V-ing
疑问形式：Was/Were+主语+V-ing。
基本用法：
1. 过去进行时表示过去某一段时间或某一时刻正在进行的动作。
常与之连用的时间状语有：at that time/moment, (at) this time yesterday (last night/Sunday/week…), at+点钟+yesterday
(last night / Sunday…)，when sb. did sth 等时间状语从句。
如： What were you doing at 7p.m. yesterday? 昨天晚上七点你在干什么？
I first met Mary three years ago. She was working at a radio shop at the time.
我第一次遇到玛丽是在三年前，当时她在一家无线电商店工作。
I was cooking when she knocked at the door. 她敲门时我正在做饭。
2. when 后通常用表示暂短性动词，while 后通常用表示持续性动词，
因此它所引导的状语从句中，谓语动词常用进行时态，如：
When the car exploded I was walking past it.= While I was walking past the car it exploded.
3.when 用作并列连词时，主句常用进行时态，从句则用一般过去时，表示主句动作发生的过程中，另一个意想不到的动作发生了。如：
