Unit 7 Will people have robots? 全单元教案
教材分析
本单元围绕“谈论问题” 及“提出建议”这两个话题，设计了相关的语言背景。重点学习一般将来时态。
学情分析
八年级上Unit 6 I’m going to study computer science. 已经学习了一般将来时，学生已经学会用be going to 结构谈论未来的计划，用be going to句型谈论未来的打算。本单元教材继续学习一般将来时，是对Unit 6 教材的拓展和延续，即用Will 接动词原形来表示将来要发生的动作，让学生学会预测未来，从语法层面上来讲应该顺理成章。上册教材课后语法的渗透也为学生学习本单元内容做了有益的铺垫。谈论对未来生活的预测是学生较为感兴趣的话题，可以充分发挥学生的想象，拓展思维，激发学生开口说英语的欲望，充分调动学生学习的积极性，引导学生深入探究、自主地设计自己未来的生活。
教学目标
1、知识与能力：
1）To make predictions.
2）To talk about future intentions in different ways.
3）To review the structure “There be” and the usage of “be going to”.

3、情感态度与价值观：
通过引导学生展望未来，及对未来生活的设计，来达到前景教育的目的，同时也通过对前景的设想，让学生在潜移默化中反省自己的现状，使之对目前的学习、生活习惯作适当的调整，并不断的改善自己的现状，使学生的理想观和价值观更为科学，更具发展价值。
重点难点
1. 教学重点：
1) 学习掌握一般将来时态的意义和结构。
2) 掌握There be句型的一般将来时态的结构。
2. 教学难点：
掌握more/fewer；more/less的用法。
情态动词will + 动词原形来表达一般将来时态。
教学策略与教法选择
依据本单元教材内容以及八年级学生的生活、学习实际，采用情景创设法、交际法和任务型语言教学法。可供借鉴的教学策略有：1．直观形象的教学策略：教学要充分利用网络和多媒体，收集合适的教学资源。2．教学内容适度的教学策略：基于课本而不迷信课本。生活中的例子好，完全可以用生活中了案例，但知识点一定要回归课本。3．引导鼓励的教学策略：教学之中要重视学生的情感因素，赏识学生，适时鼓励，学生积极性自然上来了。4.教学方法多变的教学策略。各种教学方法轮流使用，贵在恰当。
