教材分析：本单元是Go for it ( 下 ) Unit 6。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、写练习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。

Section A (1a----2d)是本单元的第一课时，学生主要学习用现在进行时态描述人们正在进行的活动，现在进行时态是学生才接触的一种新时态，因此需要在课前对此时态作必要的解释，以便学生真正理解该时态如何使用。
