教学过程(本文来自优秀教育资源网淘.教.案.网)
一、课堂热身和复习（Warming-up and revision）
1. Daily greetings to the students（日常问候）
T: Good morning/afternoon. What is the weather like today? How was the weather yesterday? How was the weather last weekend?
Is A here today? Was A here yesterday?
*How is A today? *How was A yesterday?
Are A and B here today? Were A and B here yesterday?
*How are A and B today? *How were A and B yesterday?
Are you here today? Were you here yesterday?
*How are you today? *How were you yesterday?
说明：这几个问句可以让学生们顺便复习一下形容天气的词汇。这些问候是为了S能分辨was和were的用法。板书写出打星号的句子，把划线部分留空，让S回答后再填写。用彩笔写and和you，让S注意were用于复数的主语。在问how…时，提醒S尽量使用fantastic, pretty good, not bad, awful…。第一节课出现过的这些新词。
2．Revision（复习）
T: Now, we are going to do a little quiz, please fill in the blanks with the right form of the words.
─ Where _________ you _________ (go) on vacation last summer?
─ _______ _______ (go) to the mountains.
─ Where ________ Ben and Mary __________ (go) on vacation last winter?
─ ________ _______ (visit) the museums.
─ _________ Nancy ________ (go) to Central Park last vacation?
─ Yes, _______ _______ (do).
─ _______ Kevin _______ (go) there too?
─ No, _______ _______ (do; not)
─ _______ Mike and his brother _______ (have) a party last Saturday night?
─ No, _______ _______ (do; not).
─ ________ you and your friend _________ (practice) English?
─ Yes, _________ __________ (do).
说明：此练习教师可以事先写在小黑板上，或以幻灯展示，或打印分发给学生。这个练习是为了检测他们对上一课语法的掌握，要求学生迅速完成，也可以口头完成以节省时间。
3．在教师校对学生答案时，对于学生的正确回答尽量给与fantastic, pretty good, excellent job等等的评价语，这些词汇的反复重复能让学生印象更深，不由自主地就能学会使用了。
参考答案：
e. did, go, I, went;
b. did, go, They, visited;
c. Did, go, she, did, Did, go, he, didn’t;
d. Did, have,
二、呈现新知识（Presentation）
T: How is the exercise to you? (Is it easy or hard?)
S: It is easy.
T: How is the English class today? (Is it easy or hard?)
S: It is …
T: How was the English class yesterday? (Was it easy or hard)
S: It was …
T: How are you in the English class today? (Are you hardworking today?)
S: I’m / We’re …
T: How were you in the English class yesterday? (Were you hardworking yesterday?)
S: I was/We were … yesterday.
T: How are the classrooms today?
S: They are clean today.
T: How were the
classrooms yesterday?
S: They were clean yesterday.
说明：如果学生不能回答第一个问题，括号中的问句可以帮助学生回答。教师用夸张的语调重读黑体字部分。教师也可根据实际情况设置其他情景，能够鲜明地比较is/was/ are/were.
三、教学Grammar Focus
动词be的一般过去时
动词be的一般过去时表示过去发生的动作或存在的状态，它常和表示过去的时间状语连用。如：yesterday／ last night／week／month／year, last Saturday, in 1998, five years ago等。动词be的过去式有was和were两种形式。
1) 肯定句
若主语是第一人称单数或第三人称单数时，谓语动词用was；主语是第二人称或其它人称的复数时，谓语动词用were.如：
He was in a bank a moment ago． 刚才他在银行。
They were at home last night． 昨晚他们在家。
I was at school last Friday． 上周五我在学校。
2) 否定句
在was(were)之后加not即可变为否定句。即：主语 ＋ was(were)＋ not ＋ 表语 ＋ 其它。如：
Han Mei and Wei Hua were not in the classroom just now． 韩梅和魏华刚才不在教室里。
