Unit 3 Could you please clean your room-Section A-2a-2d 英文教案 2024-2025学年人教版（2012）八年级英语下册

Unit 3 Could you please clean your room-Section A-2a-2d 【教学目标】 Language ability: Grasp listening strategies (e.g., catching key verbs in requests), use "could you please..." with object clauses (e.g., "Could you please tell me..."). Cultural awareness: Recognize polite refusal expressions (e.g., "I can't because...") in English-speaking contexts. Thinking quality: Infer speakers' attitudes through intonation, analyze logical relations between requests and responses. Learning capacity: Summarize chores vocabulary (e.g., "fold the clothes", "sweep the floor") via listening, practice role-playing. 【教学重难点】 Key points: Listening for specific information on chores; object clauses after request structures. Difficult points: Distinguish "could you" for requests from past ability; construct responses with reasons (e.g., "I have to study for a test"). Apply polite negotiation strategies in dialogues. 【教学过程】 1. Greeting​ T: Good morning, class! How are you today?​ S: Good morning, teacher. Fine, thank you. And you?​ T: I'm great too. Are you ready for today's English class?​ S: Yes!​ 2. Lead - in​ T: Before we start our new lesson, let's play a little game. I will describe some daily chores, and you try to guess what they are. For example, I say "You use a broom to do this. It makes the floor clean." What is it?​ S: Sweeping the floor!​ T: Exactly! Now, here comes the next one. "You put dirty clothes in a machine and add some detergent. After a while, the clothes become clean." What chore is it?​ S: Washing clothes!​ T: Very good. One more. "You take out the things that you don't need and put them in a special bag outside your house."​ S: Taking out the trash!​ T: Wonderful job, everyone. As you can see, these are all common chores we do at home. And today, we are going to talk about asking for help with chores in English.​ 3. Presentation - 2a​ T: Now, open your books to page [X], look at 2a. You will see a list of chores. First, let's read them together. Follow me. Sweeping the floor.​ S: Sweeping the floor.​ T: Taking out the trash.​ S: Taking out the trash.​ T: Folding the clothes.​ S: Folding the clothes.​ T: Cleaning the living room.​ S: Cleaning the living room.​ T: Washing the dishes.​ S: Washing the dishes.​ T: Making the bed.​ S: Making the bed.​ T: Now, I will play a short conversation. Listen carefully and number the chores you hear in the order you hear them. Are you ready?​ S: Yes.​ (Play the recording of 2a)​ T: OK, stop. Let's check the answers. What was the first chore mentioned?​ S: Taking out the trash.​ T: Right. So we number it 1. What about the second one?​ S: Folding the clothes.​ T: Correct, number 2. And the third?​ S: Cleaning the living room.​ T: Great, number 3. Now, let's listen to the recording again to make sure.​ (Play the recording of 2a again)​ T: Did you all get the correct order? If you have any questions, raise your hands.​ 4. Presentation - 2b​ T: Well done in 2a. Now, let's move on to 2b. Listen to the conversation again. This time, fill in the blanks with the words you hear. Pay attention to the key sentences. Are you ready? Here we go.​ (Play the recording of 2b)​ T: OK, let's check the answers together. What did you fill in for the first blank?​ S: Could you please...​ T: Right. In this sentence, "Could you please..." is used to make a polite request. It is very useful when we want to ask someone to do something. So, for example, if I want you to open the window, I can say "Could you please open the window?" Now, let's continue with the second blank. What did you write?​ S: take out the trash​ T: Correct. Let's read this sentence together. "Could you please take out the trash?"​ S: Could you please take out the trash?​ T: Now, the third blank.​ S: have to​ T: Good. "I have to do my homework first." Here, "have to" means someone is obliged or required to do something. It shows that the person has no choice but to do it. For example, "I have to go to school every day." Let's read this sentence.​ S: I have to do my homework first.​ T: Let's continue checking the rest of the answers in 2b.​ 5. Pair - work - 2c​ T: Now that we have learned how to make requests and give reasons, it's your turn to practice. Work in pairs. Look at the chores in 2a. One of you makes a request using "Could you please...", and the other gives a reason using "I have to...". For example, A: Could you please sweep the floor? B: Sorry, I can't. I have to clean my room. You have 5 minutes to practice.​ (Students start to practice in pairs. The teacher walks around the classroom, listening and offering help if necessary.)​ T: Time's up. Let's invite some pairs to come to the front and show us their conversations. Who wants to be the first?​ (Invite pairs of students to perform their conversations)​ T: Well done, everyone. You all did a great job in using these sentence patterns.​ 6. Presentation - 2d​ T: Now, let's look at 2d. First, read the conversation silently and try to understand the main idea. Then, I will ask some questions.​ (Students read the conversation silently)​ T: OK, who can tell me what the main topic of this conversation is?​ S: It's about doing chores at home.​ T: Right. What chores are mentioned in the conversation?​ S: Taking out the trash, folding clothes, cleaning the living room.​ T: Very good. Now, let's read the conversation aloud. I will play the recording, and you follow it. Pay attention to the pronunciation and intonation.​ (Play the recording of 2d. Students read aloud following the recording)​ T: Let's analyze some important expressions in this conversation. "Could I borrow that book?" Here, "Could I..." is also used to make a polite request, but this time it is for borrowing something. For example, "Could I borrow your pen?" Another one, "Could you help me with some chores then?" This is a very natural way to ask for help. And "I'm going to clean my room." Here, "be going to" is used to express a plan or intention. Can you give me an example using "be going to"?​ S: I'm going to play basketball tomorrow.​ T: Great example. Now, let's read the conversation again, but this time, try to imitate the characters' voices.​ 7. Role - play - 2d​ T: After reading the conversation, it's time for a role - play. Work in pairs, choose roles as Nancy and Mom, and act out the conversation. You can make some small changes if you want, but keep the main idea. You have 3 minutes to prepare.​ (Students start to prepare for the role - play. The teacher moves around to offer guidance)​ T: Time's up. Let's start our role - play. Which pair would like to come to the front first?​ (Invite pairs of students to perform the role - play. After each pair finishes, give some praise and feedback)​ T: You all did an amazing job! Through this role - play, you not only practiced your English but also learned how to communicate about chores in daily life.​ 8. Summary​ T: Today, we have learned many useful sentence patterns for making requests and giving reasons, such as "Could you please...", "Could I...", "I have to...", and "be going to". We also learned some common chores and how to talk about them in English. Remember to use these sentences in your daily life.​ 9. Homework​ T: For homework, I want you to write a short dialogue about asking for help with chores at home. Use at least three of the sentence patterns we learned today. And you can also draw some pictures to illustrate the chores in your dialogue. Bring it to class tomorrow.​ 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 $$
