How are you today? S(Students):Fine, thank you. And you? T:I'm great, but I noticed some of you seem a bit tired. Maybe you stayed up late last night. Well, today we are going to continue our journey in Unit 1 What's the matter. First, let's do a quick review. Who can tell me some words about body parts? Hands up, please. S1:Head, eye, ear, nose, mouth. T:Very good. And what about some health problems we've learned? S2:Headache, stomachache, toothache, cough. T:Excellent! Now, I'll give you a sentence, and you need to change it into different ways to ask about health problems. For example, if I say “He doesn't feel well.” How can you ask? S3:What's the matter with him? S4:What's wrong with him? S5:What happened to him? T:Superb! You all did a wonderful job. This review helps us recall what we've learned before, and it will be useful for our new learning today. 二、3a 部分讲解(10 分钟) T:Now, let's move on to 3a. Look at this part. Imagine you are the school nurse and a student just had an accident or a health problem. We need to make notes about what he/she should and shouldn't do. Let's take a look at the first example. If a student has a sore throat. What should he/she do? Any ideas? S6:He/She should drink hot tea with honey. T:Right. And what shouldn't he/she do? S7:He/She shouldn't eat spicy food. T:Great. Let's write them down. “Has a sore throat - Should: drink hot tea with honey; Shouldn't: eat spicy food”. Now, work in pairs. Choose some other accidents or health problems from the box and discuss what the student should and shouldn't do. I'll give you 5 minutes. (Students discuss in pairs. The teacher walks around, listens to their conversations and gives guidance if necessary.) T:Time's up. Who would like to share your ideas with the class? S8:If a student cuts his/her finger, he/she should wash it with clean water and put a bandage on it. He/She shouldn't touch dirty things. T:Well done. Another pair? S9:When a student has a fever, he/she should take some medicine and have a good rest. He/She shouldn't do sports. T:Very good. You are all very clever. By doing this exercise, we can learn how to give advice when someone has a health problem or an accident. 三、3b 部分写作(10 分钟) T:After 3a, we are going to 3b. In 3b, we need to write a conversation between the nurse and the student using the notes in 3a. And we can use the questions and phrases below to help us. First, let's look at the example. Read it together, class. S:(Read in chorus)What’s the matter / What happened / Are you OK? No, I don’t feel well./ I feel…/ I have a …/ Should I … fell down/ got hit by …/ cut myself / hurt my… I ate too much junk food, and I got a stomachache. What’s the matter? You shouldn’t eat so much next time. Now, you should lie down and rest. T:Good. Now, based on the notes you made in 3a, create your own conversation. You can start like this: The student comes to the nurse's office and says “I don't feel well.” Then the nurse asks “What's the matter?” and you continue the conversation according to the health problem. Work alone first for 5 minutes, and then we'll share. (Students write their conversations. The teacher 巡视 and provides help for those who have difficulties.) T:OK, stop writing. Now, turn to your partner and read your conversations to each other. Listen carefully and see if there are any mistakes or if you can give some suggestions to make it better. (Students exchange and comment on their conversations.) T:Now, who wants to show your conversation to the class? Volunteer! S10:(Stand up and read the conversation)Student: I fell down and hurt my knee. Nurse: What happened? Student: I was running in the playground and tripped over. Nurse: You should clean the wound and put some medicine on it. You shouldn't walk too much. T:Wonderful! Your conversation is very natural and you used the correct grammar and expressions. Another pair? S11:Student: I have a headache. Nurse: Are you OK? Student: No, I don't feel well. I studied for a long time last night. Nurse: You should take a break and get some fresh air. You shouldn't keep studying without rest. T:Great job! You all did an excellent job in writing these conversations. Through this activity, you can not only practice your writing skills but also use the language we learned in real - life situations. 四、Self - Check 1 讲解(10 分钟) T:Let's move on to Self - Check 1. In this part, we need to write different health problems next to the body parts. First, look at the example. Next to “back”, we write “have a sore back/hurt one’s back”. Now, let's do it together. What health problems can we write next to “head”? S12:Have a headache. T:Right. Write it down. And for “stomach”? S13:Have a stomachache. T:Good. Keep going. What about “throat”? S14:Have a sore throat. T:Very good. Now, think about more health problems you know of and write them down. You can work alone for 3 minutes. (Students write health problems. The teacher checks their work.) T:Time's up. Let's share. Who has some other health problems to add? S15:For “ear”, we can write “have an earache”. T:Good addition. Another one? S16:For “tooth”, we can write “have a tooth decay”. T:Great. By doing this exercise, we can review and expand our knowledge of health problems related to different body parts. 五、Self - Check 2 对话排序(10 分钟) T:Now, let's look at Self - Check 2. In this part, we need to put these questions and answers in order to make a conversation. First, look at the sentences and think about the logical order of a conversation about health problems. Let's analyze them together. The first sentence should be the one that starts the conversation. Which one do you think it is? S17:What's the matter? T:Good. This is a common way to start asking about someone's health problem. Then, what might be the answer? S18:I have a toothache. T:Right. After knowing the problem, what would the other person say? S19:You should see a dentist and get an X - ray. T:Exactly. Now, work in groups of four. Put the rest of the sentences in order and practice the conversation. I'll give you 5 minutes. (Students work in groups. The teacher joins some groups to guide the discussion.) T:Time's up. Let's check. Which group wants to come to the front and act out the conversation? (One group comes to the front and acts out the conversation.) T:Well done! Your group did a great job in putting the sentences in order and acting out the conversation. This exercise helps us improve our understanding of how to have a conversation about health problems in a proper order. 六、课堂总结(5 分钟) T:Today, we went through 3a, 3b and Self - Check. In 3a, we learned how to give advice for different health problems and accidents. In 3b, we practiced writing conversations based on those situations. And in Self - Check, we reviewed and expanded our knowledge of health problems related to body parts and practiced putting conversation sentences in order. Remember, health is very important. We should take good care of ourselves and also know how to help others when they have health problems. After class, please review what we learned today and try to use these expressions in your daily life. That's all for today. Class is over. Goodbye, class! S:Goodbye, teacher! 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 $$
