【設(shè)計(jì)意圖】：通過課前欣賞學(xué)生比較熟悉的《七月火把節(jié)》這首歌曲，營造輕松愉快的氛圍。同時(shí)結(jié)合峨山縣學(xué)生的實(shí)際情況，引出彝族的話題，激發(fā)學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)興趣，也為本堂課所要拓展的主題公園類型——少數(shù)民族文化主題公園埋下伏筆。

Step 2. Warming up （5 minutes）

1. Show some pictures about the culture of Yi People and guide the students to introduce the festival， food， clothes and house of Yi People in sentences：

（1） They are celebrating the Torch Festival by singing and dancing.

（2） Pounded Chicken is one of the most popular foods in Yunnan.

（3） They are dancing in their folk clothes， which are beautiful and colorful.

（4） The houses Yi People live in are called adobe houses.

And then guide the students to have a brainstorm by making a mind map：

【設(shè)計(jì)意圖】：通過欣賞有關(guān)彝族文化的圖片，引入celebrate， the Torch Festival， Pounded Chicken等詞匯和They celebrate…by doing…; …is one of the most popular兩個(gè)重點(diǎn)句型，為聽力練習(xí)和對話做準(zhǔn)備。同時(shí)，引導(dǎo)學(xué)生通過mind map的形式，梳理少數(shù)民族文化涵蓋的內(nèi)容：festival， food， clothes， house， dance等，從思維和文化層面為聽力和對話練習(xí)做鋪墊。

2. Lead into the theme park—Yunnan Folk Culture Villages.

【設(shè)計(jì)意圖】：引出聽力對話中將要出現(xiàn)的三個(gè)人物：兩個(gè)美國游客和一個(gè)導(dǎo)游，以及本堂課的主題公園——云南民族村，讓學(xué)生對聽力材料做聽前預(yù)測。

Step 3. Listening （15 minutes）

Task 1. Listen to the conversation and pick out（√） the subjects that they are talking about.

（ ） language （ ） festivals （ ） history

【設(shè)計(jì)意圖】：聽力材料是根據(jù)本堂課的教學(xué)目標(biāo)而設(shè)計(jì)的。通過泛聽，讓學(xué)生了解對話中有關(guān)彝族文化的話題。
