【教学过程】
开场引入
T: Good morning, dear students! How time flies! We've spent a lot of wonderful moments together in the past years. Today, we're going to start a new unit, Unit 14 “I remember meeting all of you in Grade 7.”. Just think about it, when you first came to this school in Grade 7, what were your feelings? Were you excited, nervous, or a little bit of both? Raise your hands and share your thoughts with the class.
S1: I was really nervous because I didn't know anyone here, and I was worried about whether I could make new friends.
T: Oh, it's very common to feel that way at first. But look at you now! You've made so many good friends. And how about you, S2?
S2: I was excited! I couldn't wait to start my new school life and learn new things.
T: That's great! Starting a new journey always brings us a lot of anticipation. Now, let's dive deeper into our memories of Grade 7.
1a 教学环节
T: Look at 1a. Here, we have some pictures and phrases related to our experiences in Grade 7. First, let's look at the pictures one by one. What can you see in the first picture?
S3: I can see a group of students standing in front of the school gate, looking a bit shy.
T: Exactly! And the phrase below is “meeting all of you in Grade 7”. Can you describe this picture using this phrase? For example, “I remember the first day in Grade 7 when I met all of you at the school gate.” Now, turn to your partner and practice describing this picture in your own words.
(Students practice in pairs)
T: Okay, who wants to share their description?
S4: I remember that sunny morning in Grade 7. When I walked into the school, I met all of you at the gate, and we were all a little nervous but excited.
T: Wonderful! Your description is so vivid. Now, let's move on to the second picture. What do you see?
S5: There is a teacher standing in front of the classroom, and some students are sitting at their desks, listening carefully.
T: Good observation! And the phrase is “studying for hours for exams”. How can we connect the picture with this phrase? Think about it and discuss with your partner.
(Students discuss)
T: Time's up. S6, would you like to share?
S6: I remember that in Grade 7, our teacher taught us many useful things, and we studied for hours every day to prepare for the exams.
T: Very good! You've made a great connection. Now, let's quickly go through the rest of the pictures and phrases in 1a. Try to match the pictures with the phrases on your own. If you have any questions, you can ask me or your partner.
(Students work on matching the pictures and phrases)
T: Let's check the answers together. For the first picture, it matches “meeting all of you in Grade 7”; the second one, “studying for hours for exams”; the third picture with students playing basketball corresponds to “winning a prize”; the fourth one showing students cleaning the classroom matches “volunteering at school”; and the last picture of students saying goodbye at the end of a term goes with “saying goodbye to friends”. Do you all have the correct answers? If not, don't worry. We can discuss it further.
1b 教学环节
T: Now, we're going to listen to a conversation. Before listening, let's read the sentences in 1b. These sentences are about the experiences we just talked about in 1a. Read them aloud with me. “I remember meeting all of you in Grade 7.” “I remember studying for hours for exams.”... (Read all the sentences together)
T: Now, listen carefully and circle the sentences you hear. Try to catch the key words. For example, if you hear “meeting all of you in Grade 7”, circle that sentence. Are you ready? Here we go.
(Play the recording)
T: Okay, stop. Now, compare your answers with your partner. Discuss why you circled certain sentences and not others.
(Students discuss)
T: Let's check the answers. The sentences we heard are “I remember meeting all of you in Grade 7.” “I remember studying for hours for exams.” and “I remember volunteering at school.” Were your answers correct? If you missed some, don't be disappointed. We can listen to the recording again and analyze why.
(Play the recording again if necessary)
T: While listening, did you notice any useful expressions or words? For example, “remember doing sth.”, which means to recall something that has already happened. We can use this structure to talk about our past experiences. Let's make some new sentences using this structure. For example, “I remember playing football with my friends last weekend.” Now, you try to make your own sentences. Share them with your partner first, and then we'll share some with the whole class.
(Students make sentences and share with partners)
T: Who wants to share their sentences with the class?
S7: I remember watching a very interesting movie with my family during the holiday.
T: Great sentence! S8, your turn.
S8: I remember helping an old man cross the road on my way to school yesterday.
T: Excellent! You've all used the “remember doing sth.” structure correctly.
1c 教学环节
T: Now, it's time for 1c. We're going to practice speaking. Work with a partner. One of you will be A, and the other will be B. Student A, start the conversation by saying “What do you remember about Grade 7?”. Student B, answer using the sentences in 1b or your own sentences. Then, change roles. Here is an example. (Teacher demonstrates with a student)
T (as A): What do you remember about Grade 7?
S9 (as B): I remember meeting all of you in Grade 7. It was a really exciting day!
T: Good! Now, start practicing with your partner. Try to use as many different expressions and sentences as you can. And make your conversation as interesting as possible.
(Students practice the conversation in pairs)
T: (Walking around the classroom, listening to students' conversations and providing help) Pay attention to your pronunciation and intonation. Also, try to add more details to your answers.
(After a few minutes)
T: Okay, stop. Who wants to perform your conversation in front of the class? Volunteer!
S10 and S11: (Perform the conversation)
S10: What do you remember about Grade 7?
S11: I remember studying for hours for exams. It was really tiring, but I learned a lot. What about you?
S10: I remember volunteering at school. We cleaned the classrooms and helped the teachers. It was a great experience.
T: Well done! You both spoke clearly and used the target language correctly. Let's give them a big hand. Does anyone else want to share their conversation?
(Encourage more pairs to share)
课堂总结
T: Today, in this class, we've started our learning of Unit 14. We've looked at the pictures and phrases in 1a to recall our experiences in Grade 7. Then, we listened to the conversation in 1b and learned how to use “remember doing sth.” to talk about past events. Finally, we practiced speaking in 1c. Remember, English is a language for communication. The more you practice speaking, listening, reading, and writing, the better you'll become. For homework, I want you to write down three more things you remember about Grade 7 using the “remember doing sth.” structure. And also, try to have a short conversation with your family members in English, sharing your memories of Grade 7. That's all for today. See you next time!
