[教学过程]
Step One : Greetings and warm up
( The teacher comes into the classroom with a calendar which is turning to March 16th )
1.T: Let’s sing the Good morning song. ( Sing the song together)
2.T: Revise the numbers from 1 to 31 by counting the students in class. Ask the students to count the students together。
（通过唱歌的形式调动学生的学习参与积极性，并且让学生重温韵律为后面的生日歌曲奠定基础。复习1到31英文数字为后面的日期的读法做好准备。）
Step Two : Presentation
1. Show them the calendar, and ask “ What’s the date today?” and help the student answer “ It’s December 5th.” By looking at the calendar. Tell them the more dates with the calendar.
2. Ask a boy “ When is your birthday ?” and help him with Chinese . He can speak the date in Chinese .Then let him repeat in English.
3. Notice the dates , and write the question and the answer on the blackboard .
4. Teach the dates’ words and write them on the blackboard like : January 1st February 2nd March 3rd …..
And let them to repeat the words.
（先呈现日期让学生从感官上了解语言，并用日历呈现一年十二个月的英文单词，学生更加直观的接触语言，练习语言，并且运用语言做事情，提高了学生的兴趣，让学生更加积极主动的去探究语言。）
Step Three : Task 1 Pairwork
1. T: Today is Lin’s birthday. Let’s sing the song 《 Happy birthday to you 》
2. Make a converstion : A: When is your birthday?
B: It’s June 12th .
3. Let them work in pairs for 3 minutes and fill in the chart.
Name Birthday
(学生在歌声中愉快的感悟本单元语言重点，并且增进了同学之间的感情。在学生已经形成系统的语言材料之后，让学生自己练习语言，并做好记录，同时训练了学生的听，说和写。让学生多维的去体验语言。)
Step Four : Act

(在完成听力的基础上设计第三人称的问答，不仅更深的练习语言，而且为下一课时的语言做好了铺垫。同时训练了学生的多维语言能力。)
Homework : 1. Ask four students for their birthday and then write a report.
2 .Ask your parents’ birthday or the other family
Member’s birthday and write a report.
教学反思 ： 我认为本节课有三个成功之处：
1. 学生通过数数来复习1到31 的基数词，这一活动简单易行，让学生在实际操作中运用，体验所学的语言知识，并为学习日期的说法起到了很好的引导作用。体现了在用中学的思想。通过这样的活动，摆脱了机械的读，写，学生非常乐意去学习，有效的培养了学生的学习兴趣。
2. 利用日历教学十二个月生词，形象直观，并通过歌曲来练习，学生在欢快的歌声中无形地掌握了十个月的单词的读音，书写及顺序，学的轻松愉快，而且记忆牢固。
3. 学生在初步掌握了 When is your birthday ? 句型之后，小组练习互相询问生日，不仅在任务中巩固语言并且增进了同学之间的情感，培养了学生团结，合作的品质和合作，探究的精神以及用所学语言解决实际问题的能力。
此外，课外作业的布置也有效的巩固了所学语言知识，学生的知识得到了有益的延伸。
