[设计说明]以选择的形式降低难度，通过一些熟悉的人物和精彩的图片调动学生的积极性和求知欲，激发对美国这个主题的探索，教师也可以通过竞赛的方式更好地活跃课堂气氛。最后以whoareAmericans?这问，引出大家熟悉的ArnoldSchwarzenegger，为下面的导入作铺垫。

然后教师可根据学生的回答引出加州是个移民国家，正是这些移民众志成城一起和他一起和一个又一个的巨大自然灾害作战，人民的力量是无穷的。这样就引入到了本篇课文上了，课文主要以历史时间为线索，叙述了各族移民对加州形成多元文化的影响。
[设计说明]以学生熟悉的ArnoldSchwarzenegger面孔为引子，自然不感突兀。而且教师在进行picturediscussion时，可以联系到这次中国所面临的巨大雪灾，更具时代性。
