Focus camera angles on pivotal moments: the decisive winning shot, teammates' tearful embraces, and roaring crowds. The teacher will provide guided commentary during these sequences： Watch silently and write down 3 verbs describe what you see and 1 emoji to express how you feel. The teacher generates and displays a dynamic word cloud using the interactive whiteboard. By leveraging audio-visual materials to evoke students' national pride, this session will establish an emotional foundation for subsequent discussions about the "Women's Volleyball Spirit" values, while encouraging students to begin exploring the relationship between individual efforts and collective achievement。 IW 3min Part 2 Pre-reading The teacher uses multimedia to display fragmented vocabulary related to the article (perseverance, surgery, "group of death", Lang Ping, teamwork, zero-to-hero……) along with an axis framework containing three nodes: "What challenges?", "What actions?", and "What values?", then asks students to independently categorize these terms. Through categorization activities, students will implicitly establish a logical chain of "difficulties - actions - values", laying the groundwork for understanding the ideological core concepts of "character forged through adversity" and "team collaboration". IW 5’ Part 3 Skimming The teacher guides students to skim the text and identify key historical events mentioned in the passage. Prepare three magnetic whiteboards labeled "Present" (Current Context), "Past" (Historical Events), and "Spirit" (Core Values), then have small groups discuss and categorize each paragraph under the corresponding board. Establish logical connections between historical events, real-world scenarios, and spiritual values. Using the visual capabilities of a magnetic whiteboard, this approach makes abstract timelines and core values more concrete, helping students visually understand how the "Chinese Women's Volleyball Spirit" has been passed down through generations. GW 10’ Part 4 scanning Question：How does the author start the passage? How would the narrative effect differ if historical contexts were presented before contemporary situations? Guide students to pay attention to the opening methods of articles and the writing strategies behind them. Prompt students to notice the beginning part of the text through questions, and cultivate their sensitivity to the article structure. IW 4’ Part 5 Intensive reading Question: What major challenges did the Chinese Women's Volleyball Team face at the Rio Olympics, and how did these challenges demonstrate their "never-give-up" spirit? In Zhu Ting's interview, she stated "teamwork is the key to victory." How does the article support this claim with specific examples? What values does Lang Ping's motto "Step down from the podium and start anew" convey, and how can this philosophy inspire our daily studies? Implement the progressive penetration of ideological and political education through the three-step ladder of question chains. GW 10’ Part 6 Extension and application Imagine you are Hui Ruoqi. Doctors say: "One more match could risk your life." Will you play in Rio? Why? Her choice wasn’t just personal—it carried the hopes of generations Enable students to understand China's decision - making wisdom of "giving priority to collective interests" and develop certain communication skills through simulated debates. IW/GW 10’ Part 7 summary The teacher guides the students to retell the general idea of the passage and review the knowledge learned in this class. Students can summarize the knowledge learned in this course and review relevant vocabulary, phrases, and reading skills. IW/GW 3’ Part 8 Homework Use the Chinese Women's Volleyball Team's case to demonstrate your personal strategies for overcoming challenges, such as "My Exam Formula = (Review Plan × Peer Support) - Phone Distraction," or analyze how you would apply the Spirit of the Chinese Women's Volleyball Team to resolve conflicts that arise during class activities if you were a “coach”. Guide students to connect the spirit of the Chinese Women's Volleyball Team with their own real - life situations, cultivate their ability to solve practical problems, and strengthen their thinking about learning methods. IW 2’ Title: “The atmosphere here at Rio de Janeiro is electric! If China wins this point, they will walk out of the stadium with an Olympic gold medal. Zhang Changning serves. Over the net, Popovic dives for the ball. She only just reaches it... and it's sent straight back to her by the Chinese spiker Hui Ruoqi. Popovic can't get the ball back this time... and that's it! It's over! It's gold for China! Look how the crowd has gone wild. You can see the joy and pride on the faces of the Chinese fans. And there we see the Chinese players embracing, with tears of happiness in their eyes... It's a dream come true for China! The Chinese women's volleyball team is Olympic champion once again!” The Chinese women's volleyball team holds a very special place in the nation's heart. In the 1980s, the team burst onto the international volleyball scene with several major world titles and an amazing three-set victory over the United States in the final of the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. They became national heroes overnight. There was gold once more at Athens in 2004. But winning gold in Rio paints the most vivid portrait of the team's competitive spirit. In Rio, the Chinese women's volleyball team needed all of its fighting spirit after it was assigned to the "group of death," where it faced several strong opponents in the group stage matches. Despite reaching the quarter-finals as the fourth team in the group, with just two wins in preliminary matches, they were not going to give up. Every single member of the team gave their all to the fight, including Hui Ruoqi, who had heart surgery less than five months previously. Their perseverance paid off with an epic comeback against the defending champion Brazil in the quarter-finals. Next, the Chinese team defeated the Netherlands in the semi-final matches, having lost to them in the preliminaries. At last, showing a strong will and the steeliest nerves, they played a close match against Serbia to seize gold in the final. But fighting spirit alone was not enough to guarantee victory. Strong team spirit also contributed greatly to their success. Cooperation between team members is essential. If each individual does her job and works well with others, then the end goal can be achieved. In fact, strong team spirit is more important than the skills of individual players. Zhu Ting, named Most Valuable Player at the Rio Olympics, also identified this as the special ingredient in the team's success: “Teamwork is the key to China’s victory. Thanks to my teammates’ hard efforts, I had the opportunity to show my spiking skills.” Together, the Chinese women's volleyball team has fought their way through ups and downs. Led by well-known Chinese volleyball player and coach Lang Ping, they have continued to aim high. Lang is only too aware that as soon as a team steps off the victory podium, they need to start from zero to prepare for new challenges ahead. In this way, the team begins its journey to the next Olympics. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
