以歌曲热身，导入学习主题，渲染学习氛围，抛出birthday话题，使学生注意力快速集中英语课堂，调动学习的积极性。

通过观察图片，猜测图片信息，预测课文内容。

由旧知“月份”引入新知“日期”表达的学习，通过录音、看图对比、朗读等方式学习10以上的序数词，将音、形、义相结合，学生掌握得既快又扎实。

以两两合作对话的形式进行课文复述，遮住关键词，可以使学生快速反馈已习得的重点词汇句型，检测学生是否已读懂前半部分课文。

利用思维导图的形式梳理文章脉络既能理清文章基本脉络，又可以给学生建立思维网络，学生学会有目标的、整体的阅读文章，再实践运用到第二段文章的阅读中，读写结合提高学生综合语言运用能力和思维品质。

对比文中的关键活动信息，对比发现过生日习俗也有中西文化差异，学生以探究式学习，自主挖掘文化常识，并联系生活实际进行文化融合，将语言习得与语言文化相融合，与朋友分享自己的生日场景。
