Lesson Plan Script for Unit 2: Morals and Virtues
Introduction
Good morning, everyone. Today’s lesson focuses on Unit 2: Morals and Virtues, integrating reading, listening, and speaking activities to explore the themes of selflessness, kindness, and life choices. The lesson is structured around the inspiring life of Dr. Lin Qiaozhi and the concept of "paying kindness forward." Let’s dive into the objectives and activities.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:
1. Describe Dr. Lin Qiaozhi’s life choices by reading, analyzing, and retelling her biography.
2. Explain the importance of kindness through listening to a radio show and discussing the concept of "paying it forward."
3. Share personal or observed stories of kindness using sequencing and descriptive language.
Step 1: Pre-Reading Activity (Predicting & Engaging)
Teacher’s Script:
"Let’s start by looking at the photos and title on pages 16-17. What do you think the text is about? Discuss in pairs. How does the title relate to morals and virtues? Let’s predict: Is this a fictional story, a biography, or an essay? Why?"
Purpose: Activate prior knowledge and encourage critical thinking.
Step 2: Reading & Analysis
Activity 1: Skimming & Structure Mapping
"Read the text quickly to verify your predictions. Is it a biography? How are events arranged—chronologically or thematically? Let’s map the structure together."
Task:
Students draw a timeline/mind map of Dr. Lin’s life events (e.g., birth, education, career choices, legacy).
Match paragraphs to main ideas (e.g., Para. 1: Introduction to her principles; Para. 3: Career milestones).
Key Questions:
"What hard choices did Dr. Lin face? Why did she reject staying in the U.S.?"
"What does her life teach us about selflessness?"
Activity 2: Deep Reading & Discussion
"Re-read the text and highlight her key life choices. How did these choices reflect her virtues? For example, choosing medicine over marriage or opening a clinic for the poor."
Group Task:
List qualities Dr. Lin exemplified (e.g., selfless, purposeful, compassionate).
Discuss: *"What does it mean to ‘deny oneself and put others first’ in modern life?"
Step 3: Listening & Speaking
Activity 1: Radio Show Comprehension
"Now, let’s listen to the ‘Rush Hour Show.’ Focus on two things: What is ‘paying it forward’? What does the guest ask listeners to do?"
Post-Listening Task:
Complete sentences with keywords (e.g., *"The song starts with a man who helps a lady whose car has broken down ...").
Circle sequencing words (e.g., *first, then, finally*) to analyze storytelling structure.
Activity 2: Sharing Stories of Kindness
"Think of a time you showed or received kindness. Use sequencing words to structure your story. For example: ‘It was a rainy day... Suddenly... After that...’"
Sample Prompt:
"Once, when I was 18, a stranger paid my tuition. This act inspired me to help others later. Share your story in groups!"
Step 4: Consolidation & Reflection
Class Discussion:
"What common virtues do great people like Dr. Lin share?"
"How can we apply ‘paying it forward’ in school or community?"
Homework:
Write a reflection: *"One lesson I learned from Dr. Lin’s life is..."
Teaching Rationale
This lesson integrates critical reading, empathetic listening, and expressive speaking to connect historical figures’ virtues with students’ lives. By analyzing Dr. Lin’s choices and sharing personal stories, students internalize the impact of kindness and moral courage. The activities scaffold from comprehension to creation, fostering both language skills and ethical awareness.
Thank you!
