教學點評及反思：
一．環節設計思路：
本課以游戲形式的猜動物名稱引入，首先讓學生通過游戲中的練習，盡快熟悉各種動物的英文名稱。然后導入到三個鏈狀承接的任務上。第一個任務通過聽力引入本課的第一組重點句型，即詢問喜歡何種動物及其原因。然后在同學中做一個調查，看看大家都喜歡些什么動物以及喜歡的原因，為第二個任務積累資料。任務二是真實任務前的模擬，讓學生從大家喜歡的動物中挑選兩至三種安排小組去動物園的參觀路線。真實任務是來源于對秋游的設想，打算組織學生去北京動物園，分小組活動，要求各小組有自己的參觀計劃，必須明確列出參觀各種動物的順序以及原因，并根據地圖說出大致的方位。課堂完成任務后，課后任務對課堂的延伸和鞏固，因此選擇了學生較感興趣的野生動物問題，同時兼有美術和生物學科的學習，一舉多得。
二．課后反思：
本課設計上思路非常明晰，由潛入深，教師帶領著學生一步一個腳印，漸漸進入任務，讓學生非常自然的領會本課的知識點。任務的設計貼近學生生活，有趣又實用，學生的參與非常熱烈。教師對課堂的把握非常到位，收放自如。不足之處在于野生動物的話題過于廣泛，教師可給與適當的指導，提供方向性的資料利于學生課下任務的完成。
