Xu Hongshan , Taipingdian Middle School
Good morning , everyone! I’m Xu Hongshan from Taipingdian Middle School Of Xiangyang . I'm very glad to be here to interpret my lesson , the lesson I'm going to interpret is from Unit 3 of Go for it ! Book 7B . Now I’ll talk about How I’m going to teach 2a to 2c of Section B . I’ll interpret the lesson from four parts .
Part One : Analysis of the Teaching Material
I . Status and Function
1.This is an important lesson in Unit 3 . From this lesson , it asks the Ss to grasp contents of the reading passage , to attain reading , speaking and writing skills . It tells the Ss to remember the new words and use the Present Simple Tense , It prepares Ss to write about how to get to places using the target language . Therefore , this lesson is in the important position of the teaching material .
2.This period is the third one of Unit 3 . So if the Ss can learn it well , it will be helpful to make the Ss master this unit .
3.Such a topic is related to daily life , so it is helpful to raise learning interests of Ss and it will also be helpful to improve their reading and writing skills .
II . Analysis of the Students
The Ss have learned target language talking about how to get to places . So they can understand most of the reading passage . This text will talk about a schoolboy in a village . So they may take a great interest in the reading .
III . Learning Goals
The learning goals’ basis is established according to Junior School English syllabus’ provision .
1 . Knowledge goals :
(1)To make the Ss able to read , write and use the new words and phrases :
Words : cross , river , many , village , between and bridge , boat , ropeway , year , afraid , like , villager , leave , dream , true
Phrases : come true , be like , go on a ropeway , cross the river , etc.
(2)To make the students able to understand the meaning and use of the following sentence structures :
It’s + adj + to do sth , & There be . The first one is used very often so it’s important . We have to pay special attention to the “There-be” structure although it just occurs for the first time .
2.Ability objects :
To help the Ss understand the text and improve their reading strategies by finishing the reading comprehensive Exx .
3.Moral objects :
To value our happy life since there are still so many poor people in our country .
IV . Teaching Key Points and Difficulties
Here their basis is established according to the teaching material's position and function .
1.Key points :
(1)To help the Ss to memorize the new words and expressions .
(2)To enable the Ss to understand the reading passage .
(3)To draw the Ss’ interest in English .
2.Difficulties :
How to improve their reading skills and strategies . As we know , reading is very important in our English studies and tests , especially for the Ss from rural areas .
V . Teaching Aids
Multi-media computer , Tape recorder , Software : Power point . They will be needed in this lesson and help Ss to understand better .
Part Two : The Teaching Methods
1 . 5-P teaching methods .
2 . 3-research and 4-study teaching and learning model .
3 . 3-step reading teaching method .
As we all know , the 5-P English teaching method has been used in China for many years and gained great success . It’s proved that this English teaching method is very helpful to improve the Ss’ English learning , because it can do a lot when helping the Ss learn and master what they’re learning . The 3-research and 4-study teaching and learning model has been brought in Fancheng for no more than two years , but we can find it very efficient in developing the Ss’ abilities . As for the 3-step reading teaching method , it follows the language learning rules and it helps improve the Ss’ reading efficiencies . In my opinion , they are just the same in developing the Ss . So this class I’ll use both the teaching methods . I hope they can be mixed together and help us a lot . All in all , I’ll use the 5-step teaching method in warming-up , leading-in , practicing and exchange exhibition . Because I want this method to help the Ss learn and practice better .As for reading , I’ll follow the 3-step reading teaching method : Before reading , while reading and after reading . I’ll use the other model in pair work and group work . Because I want my Ss to improve their research and co-operation abilities .
Part Three : Studying Ways :
1. Encourage the Ss to be successful language learners .
2. Study language in the way “Listening & Observation - reading - Practice - Production - Examination” .
3. Teach the Ss how to read more efficiently and how to write using the target language .
Teaching special features:
Let the Ss communicate with each other and hold competition among groups to develop the Ss’ keen interest in English .
Part Four : Teaching Procedure
I’ll finish this lesson in five steps . First I’ll bring a competition into the class . At last let’s see which group is the winner .
Step1 Preparation
Have a free talk between T and Ss using “How far , How and How long” In this way , the Ss can be reminded of what they’ve learned in this unit .
Step2 Presentation
This course is very important. I’ll mainly talk about this step.
I’ll use ppt to present these new words and phrases : go on a ropeway , cross the river , afraid ;
I’ll use stick-pictures to present the following new words : between , bridge , boat , year ;
They’ll find out these new words with the help of the guiding paper : like , villager , leave , dream , come true , be like
Word studying is very important in English learning . But the Ss often find it boring to memorize the words . So making it lively and interesting will be very helpful . To tell the truth , Grade 7 students are still so young that they can’t concentrate on studying for long . So it’s our duty to draw their interests in English studying .
Then they’ll show their pronouncing in groups and see which group is the most active and pronounces the most exactly . This is a part of the competition .
Step3 Reading (Practice)
Only reading with purpose is efficient reading . So first they’ll read the text themselves and find the answers to the questions one by one .
Next while reading , they’ll have to find some key sentences with the help of the guiding paper , such as “It is easy to get to school .” and “He’s like a father to me .” In this way , they’ll understand the text better .
After reading , they’ll check each other’s answers and explain each other’s problems . If there are still problems , they can ask other groups for help . And I’ll help them if needed .
Then do the same to 2c .
As for the purpose of my designing , this step is set to make the Ss understand the text and the language points themselves . So the Ss will have a chance to improve their own reading abilities .
Of course , after that , they will repeat after the tape to consolidate the language points .
Step4 Production
In this step I’ll give the Ss free space to show their abilities . they’ll retell the whole text using some key words and phrases . In this way , they can improve their speaking and writing abilities . Showing ways may vary . They can retell individually or in groups .
Retelling is a good way to train the Ss’ reading and speaking abilities . If they can retell the story fluently , it shows that they have been familiar with the text .
Step 5 Progress
In general , they’ll have a test in this step to check how they’ve learned . I’ll check in two ways : The first is to let the Ss summarize the usages of the language points and give some examples .
某人做某事怎么样?(句型结枸)
害怕的(用法)
There be (某处有某物)句型用法
Be like(像什么一样)
The second way is to let the Ss complete some sentences using the target language .
1 . It’s not easy (横跨河流上学) (cross)
2 . you (你害怕吗)?(afraid)
3 . Can (他能实现他的梦想吗)?(come)

2 . I’ll be able to use the following sentence structures in expressing :
