三、教学过程

Step 1. Lead-in

Sing a hello song with students together, and show a picture of a pig to introduce the new friend “the big pig” to create a situation.

【设计意图】歌曲的热身方式可以营造一个活跃的课堂氛围;通过介绍big pig进行导入既可以复习到字母i的发音，又可以创设情景，为接下来的学习奠定基础。

Step 2. Presentation

1. Present several words by adopting the situational method.

For example: The big pig sees a kite in the sky, and there are two numbers on the kite, they are five and nine. And the pig likes rice very much.

2. Lead students to read the words loudly.

3. Ask students to observe the words carefully, find the similarity of these words, namely all of these words include the letter combination “i-e”, and then summarize the pronunciation rule of it.

【设计意图】围绕big pig展开一段故事，以情景的方式生动有趣的引出相关单词;接下来引导学生发现单词的共同特征，感知i-e字母组合的发音规律，有利于培养学生的自主学习能力。

Step 3. Practice

Activity 1: Train Game

Ask students to read the words with “i-e” loudly one by one.

Activity 2: Listen and Number

Ask students to number the words in the book according to the listening materials.

【设计意图】通过两个活动来对发音规则进行操练，强化发音练习，有利于学生进一步掌握i-e发音规则;递进性的活动符合学生的认知特点，层层深入有利于强化训练。

Step 4. Consolidation

Task: Tell a story

The teacher tells the story of the pig again:

The big pig sees a kite in the sky, and there are two numbers on the kite, they are five and nine. And the pig likes rice very much.

Then divide the students into 5 groups, and they will tell the story within their group in turn. At last, each group selects one representative to tell the story in front of the class.

【设计意图】此处以讲故事的方式对任务型教学法进行应用，既有利于学生掌握发音规律，又可以提高学生的积极主动性，增强学生的活动参与感。

Step 5. Summary

Students will make a summary on what they have learned today, and the teacher will make proper supplements. In addition, the teacher will tell students to speak English actively in their daily life.

the teacher will lead students to love English and try to speak English in their daily life.

【设计意图】学生自主总结的方式有利于培养学生独立学习的能力;教师进行点拨并告诉学生要日常生活中要积极开口说英语，培养对英语的学习兴趣。

Step 6. Homework

Search for more words including “i-e”, and observe their pronunciations.

【设计意图】课后搜索更多含有字母组合“i-e”的单词，并观察发音，进一步巩固新知。
