说课
本节课热身环节从师生互问生日及生日活动开始，谈及到老师的生日活动是看戏剧，从而过渡到Bobby and Sam今天也在上演一场戏剧。Cartoon time环节，老师提出问题，学生带着问题观看卡通，并学习单词password。安排学生独立阅读故事的环节来解决4个问题，帮助学生理解故事大意。
在理解和朗读的过程中掌握新单词number, answer, fourth, start, fight，体会动画人物的情感。Checkout time通过回顾Sam过生日的场景引出Liu Tao和Yang Ling 如何过生日的，由口头落实到听力，使学生再次回顾日期的表达和生日活动的表达。最后由于Liu Tao and Yang Ling’s birthdays are coming.教师提议给他们做一张生日贺卡，做贺卡之前先回顾了上学期做圣诞节贺卡的步骤，以旧带新。
