Unit 1 We Love Nature

          Lesson3 Where do They Live ?

一、教材分析

整个单元以谈论“动物”为主线，将动物的名字和动物居住的地方的名字结合起来。其实在第二单元里面学生已经掌握了一些动物的名字和动物们的一些特征，在第三单元主要学习动物的居住地。所以第二单元的学习给第三单元的学习做了一些很好的铺垫。本单元的第一个课时为Listen and  practice 部分，在这里学生要掌握一些单词如：desert, forest, lake, mountain...等。还要掌握句型Where do they live ? They live in the....

二、教学目标

2、能力目标

能用所学到的语言知识与实际生活结合起来，使学习过程生活化。
