八、教材分析
本单元主要围绕“What are you doing?”这一主题展开各种教学活动，并以这一主题引出现在进行时的一般疑问句，否定句以及特殊疑问句等语言功能。本单元旨在创造一个轻松、愉快的学习、交流环境，通过听、说、读、写来培养学生综合运用这些知识的能力。并让学生能在“做中学”（learning by doing），通过有限的课堂实践活动，注意观察别人的行动，能准确地用英语来表达。
九、教学目标
通过本单元的教学，我要求学生能通过上下文内在的逻辑联系，或在观察别人的行为和活动时能用现在进行时来准确地表达所发生或进行的动作。
十、教学重难点：
基于上述对教材的分析，我确定本单元的教学重点为词汇、词组搭配和现在进行时的用法。
教学难点为现在进行时中现在分词的结构及读音，能在交际中准确地运用现在进行时来描述或表达正在进行的动作。
