Discovering Useful Structures (Page5)

第一步：小组活动，学生通过对例句的阅读分析，结合初中阶段学习的内容，尝试总结直接引语和间接引语之间转换的规则，包括不同句型（陈述句、祈使句和疑问句）的转化特点； 人称、时态以及指示代词、时间状语、地点状语和动词的变化。教师要根据直接引语和间接引语之间转换的规则特点有针对性的准备一些典型例句（具体例句可参照课本P87~89提供的例句），尽量方便学生通过例句来观察和总结转换的规则；

第二步：教师在学生小结的基础上利用例句对直接引语和间接引语之间转换的规则进行修正和补充；

第三步：学生独立完成课本设计的巩固练习（Page5: Exercise 2），加强对直接引语和间接引语之间转换规则的掌握；（为了避免学生在反复练习的过程中感觉枯燥，失去学习的兴趣，教师在例句的设计上要多下功夫，如：可以选择一些当红的明星做主语；例句中的谈话内容也可以使用现下流行的一些话题或时尚用语，如： playing PC games; shopping on line; meeting net-friends等等，以此来激发学生的学习欲望）

Homework:

1. 结合课堂讲解和课后练习复习本课时学习的重、难点词汇；

2. 阅读课本语法部分的直接引语和间接引语专题讲解，更好地巩固和掌握这一个语言点；

3. 根据学生订阅的辅导资料布置一定量的有关直接引语和间接引语之间转换的练习。（如果没有相关教辅资料，则建议教师自己准备一定量的练习要求学生完成）
