Evaluation Tasks 1. Participation in class discussion: ☆☆☆ 2. Completion of the worksheet: ☆☆☆ 3. Group presentation: ☆☆☆ Design Intentions This lesson is designed to help students master grammar rules through a combination of presentation, practice, and group work. By connecting grammar learning with the topic of water, which is closely related to students' daily lives, students can better understand and apply the grammar. The group work and homework assignments can cultivate students' cooperation ability and independent writing ability, while also enhancing their awareness of water conservation. Homework Design Writing Task 1. Write a short composition (about 100 - 150 words) about the importance of water in our lives. 2. Use as many grammar rules learned in this class as possible. 3. Prepare to share your composition in the next class. Board Design Unit 5 Water is life Section 2 Exploring and applying rules (Grammar) Grammar Rules: Present Simple: Used for general facts about water, e.g., Water is essential for life. Present Perfect: Used for water - conservation actions with present results, e.g., We have saved a lot of water. Sentence Structures: Subject + Verb + Object (for simple statements about water usage) Complex Sentences: When talking about water treatment, we can use relative clauses, e.g., The water which we drink is purified. Examples and Exercises: Write some example sentences and exercises on the board for students to practice. Teaching Reflection Insufficient Time Management 1. The group work took longer than expected, leaving less time for the conclusion part. 2. Some students had difficulty understanding the more complex grammar rules, which caused delays in the practice progress. 3. The evaluation of group presentations was a bit rushed, and some students' efforts may not have been fully recognized. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
