Unit 7　Happy Birthday!
Period 4 Section B （1a-2b）
一、教材分析
What: 本课时内容主要分为两部分，第一部分为阅读训练，主要语篇为来自网络论坛的两篇帖子。在内容方面，两篇帖子都介绍了主人公的生日日期和庆祝生日的方式，帖子最后邀请读者分享庆祝生日的有意义方式。这两个语篇分别体现出不同文化背景下人们庆祝生日的传统习俗。第一个发帖人Yu Xiaoming过生日吃长寿面和鸡蛋，这是中国人庆祝生日的传统方式。跟帖人Judy Clark过生日时吃蛋糕、唱生日歌、许愿、吹蜡烛，这是西方国家过生日的传统方式。第二部分为写作训练，结合自身情况完成思维导图，并在此基础上完成一篇完整的回帖。
Why: 第一部分通过两篇主题论坛的帖子，向学生展示了中西方庆祝生日的不同方式。尽管世界各地庆祝生日的方式不同，但生日庆祝背后都蕴含着大家相同的情感追求：表达祝福和爱，纪念成长。这正是我们庆祝生日的意义所在。语篇同时也传递了更深层次的理念：世界文化是多元的，但人类的情感是共通的，这些共通的情感为不同文化背景下人们互相理解和沟通创造了基础。第二部分用思维导图形式梳理要点，并结合模板完成一篇完整的回复帖子。
How: 两篇帖子都介绍了主人公的生日日期和庆祝生日的活动，还分别分享了个性化的庆祝方式，最后邀请读者分享庆祝生日的有意义方式。语篇模仿网络论坛网页样式，细节完整，属于典型的新媒体语篇范畴。语篇涉及描述生日活动的核心语言如My birthday is on...I like doing...because...也涉及表达寻求意见的句型 Any good idea 写作练习中用思维导图形式帮助梳理要点，并给出了回帖模板，使同学只需要填入个人信息即可，简化写作流程，降低写作难度。
