教学内容
Fun Time
1．这个故事讲的是小丑带着马戏团的一只大象去动物园，在街上碰见了Lily和Bill，他们与大象结成为好朋友。大象在过马路时，从街对面过来一个推着自行车的行人，自行车上带着一些香蕉，该行人与大象打过招呼后就过了马路。这时大象突然停在马路当中不走了，小丑、Lily和Bill使劲推它，它不动，警察也过来帮助，它还是不动。这时街对面的交通灯变成了绿色的，大象挡住了所有南来北往的车辆。怎么办？Bill想出了一个好主意，把大象引过了马路。是什么主意呢？请同学猜一猜。（答案：用香蕉引大象过马路。）
2．同学通过学习故事，复习本单元的交际用语：Where are you going?
3．通过本故事的学习，培养同学运用所学知识观察和判断的能力。如：观察故事中交通灯的变化（可以用到在第28课中学到的有关交通灯的知识），大象为什么停在马路中间不走了（懂得大象的生活习性）等。
4．故事中新的语言项目是：Why are you stopping here? Move, elephant．Let's go together．
5．本局部学习内容的难点是：move单词的读音和move单词中字母v的读音。
6．课堂操作语言建议：

教学建议
1．教师出示教学挂图或让同学看课本，建议将同学分成小组，以组为单位对故事图画进行观察，并根据图讨论故事大意。（这样做的好处是能够协助学习能力弱的同学积极参与课堂学习活动。）
2．让同学用中文说一说对故事的理解。
3．教师指教学挂图，用同学易接受的英文和形体动作，整体介绍故事内容。目前，同学对英语已经有了一些感性认识，教师在整体介绍故事内容时，应注意与同学进行交流，协助同学运用学过的语言，以培养同学主动参与语言实践活动的意识（参考课堂操作语言建议）。
4．教师让同学看教学挂图、听录音，并根据录音内容试着指出相应的图。
5．同学看教学挂图，根据录音重复语句，教师应鼓励能够重复录音中句子的同学。
6．让同学多听几遍录音，在理解的基础上，重复听到的句子（建议目前仍不限制同学具体能说哪一句话），在重复的同时同学可以根据自身的理解做出相应的动作。
7．假如每一幅图的语言都已经有同学会说，就可以进行角色扮演。
8．角色扮演时应在教室里安排场景，并准备故事中需要的道具。
9．为了使每个同学都参与活动，角色扮演时应采取group work的形式，并给每个小朋友适当的褒扬。
