Unit 6 An old man tried to move the mountains.-Section B-1a-1d 【教学目标】 Language Ability: Acquire vocabulary (e.g., stick, hide, turn...into) and practice listening & speaking skills to describe fairy tale actions. Use target structures like "used to + verb" and past continuous tense. Cultural Awareness: Explore Western fairy tales (e.g., Cinderella) and compare cultural differences in story elements (e.g., magic, heroes). Thinking Quality: Analyze story plots logically (e.g., cause-effect of Cinderella’s actions) and make inferences about characters’ traits. Learning Ability: Apply listening strategies (predicting, catching keywords) and collaborate to retell stories with creative details. 【教学重难点】 Key: Use past continuous tense to describe ongoing actions in stories (e.g., "While she was doing..., the prince was looking..."). Difficult: Distinguish between past simple and past continuous tenses in context. Properly use conjunctions (when, while) to connect story sequences and avoid tense errors. 【教学过程】 Revision T: In the previous class, we delved into the story of Yu Gong Moves a Mountain and learned some important grammar points. Can anyone tell me one of the grammar structures we learned? S: "Once upon a time", teacher. We use it to start a story in the past simple tense. T: Excellent! You remembered well. And what about another one? S: "As soon as", which shows two actions happening one after another. T: Absolutely right. And the third important grammar structure? S: "So... that...", which is used to express a cause - and - effect relationship. T: Perfect! Now, let's think about the story of Yu Gong Moves a Mountain. What did we learn from Yu Gong's story? What kind of spirit did he show? S: He showed determination. Even though moving the mountains was extremely difficult, he didn't give up. T: Very good. That's exactly the spirit we should learn from the story. Now, let's move on to today's new content. Lead - in T: Look at the pictures on the screen. (Show pictures related to different fairy tales like Cinderella, Snow White, etc.) Can you tell me the names of these fairy tales in English? Raise your hands. S1: Cinderella. S2: Snow White. S3: Little Red Riding Hood. T: Wonderful! We all love these fairy tales. Today, we are going to talk about some more stories and learn new words and expressions related to them. Vocabulary Teaching (1a) T: Open your books to page... (Check the actual page number). Look at 1a. Here, we have some pictures and phrases. Let's first read the phrases together. T& S: A magic stick, a magic medicine, keep... for himself, turn... into, get married. T: Now, let's look at the pictures. Can you match the phrases with the pictures? Think for a moment and then tell me your answers. (Call on students to answer) S: Picture 1 matches "a magic stick". T: Why do you think so? S: Because in the picture, the character is holding a stick, and it looks like a magic one. T: Right. What about Picture 2? S: Picture 2 matches "a magic medicine". T: Correct. It seems there is a bottle with some special liquid, which could be a magic medicine. Now, let's move on to Picture 3. S: Picture 3 matches "keep... for himself". T: Good. And why do you choose this? S: Because the man in the picture is holding something and looking like he doesn't want to share it. T: Exactly. How about Picture 4? S: Picture 4 matches "turn... into". T: Great. The picture shows a person changing something into another form. And the last one, Picture 5? S: Picture 5 matches "get married". T: Right. We can see a bride and a groom, which indicates they are getting married. Now, let's read the phrases again, but this time, try to remember what they mean. T& S: A magic stick, a magic medicine, keep... for himself, turn... into, get married. T: Let's play a little game. I will say a phrase in Chinese, and you quickly tell me the English. Are you ready? S: Yes! T: 魔法棒. S: A magic stick. T: 魔法药. S: A magic medicine. T: 据为己有. S: Keep... for himself. T: 变成. S: Turn... into. T: 结婚. S: Get married. T: Well done! You all did a great job. Now, let's listen to a passage related to these phrases. Listening (1b - 1c) T: Listen carefully to the tape. The passage is about a story. While listening, pay attention to which of the phrases in 1a are mentioned. (Play the recording for the first time) T: Okay, did you hear any of the phrases? Raise your hands and tell me which ones you heard. S1: I heard "a magic stick". S2: "Turn... into" was mentioned. S3: "Get married" was also in the passage. T: Good. Now, let's listen to the tape again. This time, fill in the blanks in 1b according to what you hear. (Play the recording for the second time) T: Let's check the answers. For the first blank, what did you fill in? S: A magic stick. T: Right. How about the second blank? S: Turned the stone into... T: Correct. And the rest of the blanks? (Go through each blank, checking the answers with the students) T: Well done. Now, let's listen one more time. After listening, I want you to briefly retell the story you heard using the phrases we learned. (Play the recording for the third time) T: Now, who would like to retell the story? Raise your hands. (Call on a student to retell the story) S: Once upon a time, there was a man. He had a magic stick. He used the magic stick to turn a stone into gold. But he wanted to keep all the gold for himself. Later, he met a girl and they got married. T: Wonderful job! You retold the story very clearly. Now, let's work in pairs. Look at 1c. Make up a story using the phrases. One student starts the story, and the other continues. Then, swap roles. You have 5 minutes to prepare. (Students work in pairs) T: Time's up. Which pair would like to share your story with the class? (Invite pairs to share their stories) T: Great! Each pair did an amazing job. Your stories are very creative. Now, let's do one more listening exercise. Listening and Speaking (1d) T: Look at 1d. Here, we have some incomplete sentences. Listen to the conversation between two people. While listening, complete the sentences. (Play the recording for the first time) T: Did you get some of the answers? Let's listen again to confirm. (Play the recording for the second time) T: Let's check the answers. For the first sentence, what did you fill in? S: Journey to the West. T: Right. And the second sentence? S: Sun Wukong. T: Correct. How about the third sentence? S: Magic stick. T: Good. And the fourth sentence? S: Turn himself into different animals and objects. T: Well done. Now, let's practice the conversation in pairs. Read the conversation aloud, and then change the information to make your own conversations. You can use the story elements we learned today. (Students practice in pairs) T: Now, let's invite some pairs to come to the front and act out their new conversations. (Invite pairs to act out) T: Fantastic! You all did a great job in creating and acting out your conversations. Through these activities, you have not only learned new vocabulary but also practiced your listening, speaking and creative thinking skills. Summary T: Today, we learned some new phrases related to stories, such as "a magic stick", "a magic medicine", "keep... for himself", "turn... into", and "get married". We also practiced listening and speaking skills by listening to stories and creating our own conversations. Remember, English learning is not only about memorizing words and grammar, but also about using English to communicate and express ourselves. Homework T: For homework, I want you to write a short story using at least three of the new phrases we learned today. The story can be your own creation or a retelling of an existing story. Write it neatly on your notebook. Also, review the new words and phrases we learned today. Next class, we will have a little quiz to check your understanding. 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 $$
