课题：Module 10 Unit1 It might snow.

课时：Period 1 listening and speaking.

重点：有关天气的词汇，如sunny，cloudy，shower等

      对天气的可能性进行猜测的句型：it might be _____. It’s probably ______.

     （学生能够运用might和probably对未来天气的可能性进行有根据的猜测。）

难点：天气的名词和形容词之间的转换，天气预报。

学情分析：学生在七年级的时候已经对天气初步学习过，大致有所了解，对天气的表达基本上没问题，但过了一年，学生对学过的知识也遗忘不少。八年级Module10中增加了几个有关天气的词汇，第一，学生对增加的词发音有点困难；第二，新增加的词是名词，学生在做预习单时没有意识到要转换成形容词，对词性比较模糊。

教学过程：

I like sunny days, because on sunny days, I can enjoy the sunshine, and it can make me happy. However, I don’t like rainy days, because on rainy days, it is wet everywhere, and it makes me uncomfortable.
