Good morning, dear judges
Today it’s my great honor to be here and share my lesson (teaching)plans with all of you. The lesson we are(I am) going to share today is from Unit 10, Section B (Part 2b), Go for it! It’s a reading material. And I’ll present this lesson from the following(可删除) five parts.
Part 1 Teaching Material and learners
Part 2 Teaching Objectives
Part 3 Teaching Methods and Studying Methods
Part 4 Teaching Procedures
Part 5 Reflection
Part One Analysis of teaching material and learners.
Go for it stresses the concept “learn by using ,use by learning”and adopts task–based teaching method. In each unit ,many activities are carried out to help the students get information and communicate with each other in English so as to develop their ability to solve real problems step by step.
The topic of this unit is decision making and it aims to help students learn to talk about consequences using if conditional clause and modal verb should.The reading material plays a very important role in this unit,(其重要作用,太宽泛,要说说经过学习sectionA 的内容,练习了什么知识的情况后,再学习这篇阅读材料,对于练习本单元的语言目标起到什么样的具体作用) it mainly talks about “If people have problems, they should talk to other people.”The main task of this period is to train students’ reading sub-skill of skimming and scanning to improve their reading speed and develop their ability of reading comprehension as well.
As junior middle school students in Grade Eight, the students are curious about all kinds of things related to their daily life, so real life situations can help arouse their interest and enthusiasm. (此处学生对各种事物的好奇,可具体到学生的实际生活,会遇到各种困惑的问题那么通过本课课文的阅读可以给他们带来什么实际意义)
Part Two Teaching Objectives
According to the analysis above, I set the following teaching objectives:
First, knowledge aims. The students will (will be able to use)use the following expressions properly: teenager; expert, unless, careless, careful experience, keep…to oneself, in half etc. and understand some important sentences such as “Unless we talk to someone, we’ll certainly feel worse.” “So you’re halfway to solving a problem just by talking to someone about it.”
Second, ability aims. By the end of the class, the students will be able to skim (skim for the general idea)and scan for the specific information form the passage.
Third, emotional aims. During the class, students’ cousciousness of sharing problems with others will be inspired.
Among these points, I think the useful expressions and improvement of reading ability are the key and difficult teaching points.
Part 3 Teaching Methods and Studying Methods
According to modern teaching theories and the new curriculum standards, I will adopt task-based language teaching method, I will set the following activities such as : individual work , pair work and group work to achieve the teaching goals. (In order to achieve the teaching goals , the following activities such as : individual work , pair work and group work will be used)
I will try my best to make students the real masters of the class, while teachers only as directors. (Independent study method) and the students will learn in a relaxing atmosphere by reading, speaking, thinking and discussing in groups. (Cooperation study method)
And I’ll use the blackboard and the multi-media during my teaching.
Part 4 Teaching Procedures
To achieve the objectives above, I design several activities with the aid of PPT. The teaching procedures will follow PWP model (pre-reading,while-reading and post-reading).
Step 1 Greetings
To begin the class, I’ll greet my students as usual.
Step 2 Pre-reading
I will lead in this lesson by showing the students a video( it is about a quarrel between my student and her best friend). In this video, the students will hear some new words for the first time, such as unless, angry, understanding. Then I will try to get advice from the students ( possible answers: say sorry to her friend, give her a gift…..) After that I will show a photo of myself and tell them after talking to me, she feels better now. Then we can go into the topic of this lesson “If people have problems, they should talk to other people.” ( The topic related to the students’ daily life closely, so they should be glad to disscuss it with me.)
Step 3 while-reading
During the while-reading process, I will design some activities for them to understand the passage better.
Activity (可否换为task?)One: In order to improve their reading sub-skill of skimming, I’ll ask them to read the whole passage as quickly as possible and find out the answer to the following question: There are two persons(添加who) agree with the idea “If people have problems, they should talk to other people.” Who are they? (Through the question, students will get the main idea of this passage more clearly).
Activity Two: In order to improve their reading sub-skill of scanning. The students will be asked to read Paragraph 1-2 and find some details about Laura. (They should use scanning----a process of searching for specific information. Here I’ll explain it to them first.) And during the activity, I want to show the difference between “careful” and “careless”(Let the students know something about the word-building, such as “home” and “homeless”, “help” and “helpless”…. 此处提出 ful , less 是两个相反的后缀,了解了这两个后缀对解决生词有很大帮助)
Activity Three: Read Paragraph 3 and Tell T or F about Robert Hunt.(换换说法: check if some statements about Hunt are ture or false) (The students will practice the scanning skill again.)
★(The answers to Activity Two and Three will use the key words and expressions in this lesson)★(这句话貌似Chinglish)
★(The students will work in pairs or groups to finish Activity Two and Three)★
Activity Four: I will ask the students to read the whole article(passage) again and raise questions to each other. ( In this way, the students will be encouraged to think on their own. This can also give them a chance to share problems with other students).(任务不具体)
Step 4 Post-reading
After the students finish the reading, I’ll prepare an open-ended(是不是 open-minded?) activitiy.
The students work in groups of 4 and talk about their own problems first, then they could write a short letter for (to)each other, in order to solve the problems. Then it’s sharing time! (They should know helping others is a good thing.) (step4 开放性问题和step3 中的活动四似乎有点重复,单纯的说看不出多少文章的升华和学以致用。)
Step Five Summary
At the end of the class, I’ll explain the reading sub-skill of skimming and scanning again. And I also remind the students to raise more questions when previewing the reading lesson. (此处可以说出用ppt 展示本节课的结构框架,一方面展示课文的结构,一方面展示培养的两个reading tips)
Step Six Homework.
As for homework, I’ll ask the students to write a short passage about Laura’s and Robert’s ideas, or they could write their own ideas about “talking to other people, you will feel better.”
Step Seven Blackboard Design
Part 5 Reflection
In this class, in order to help students understand the reading passage well, almost all steps are connected to (可不可以去掉)focus on the reading material and skills. Especially, in the activity 2, “word-building” will help them understand the passage better. During the lesson, I am only an organizer, a guide, trying to show my students how to be an effective and efficient readers. (我认为该写上,你认为哪一步是自己感到设计比较好的, 哪一步较难操作,哪一步更能培养学生的自主学习能力等)
That’s all for the presentation. Thanks for your listening!
