Today, we are going to have a special class, the last class of Unit 3 Food matters. First, let's take a quick look at the unit hint under the picture on the unit front page. Can you tell me what this unit is mainly about? Raise your hands, please. S1: It's about food. We learned different kinds of food, and how to describe them. T: Very good. But it's not just about food names. What else? S2: We also learned the relationship between food and our lives, like food can bring back memories. T: Exactly! This unit has explored various aspects of food, including food and emotions, food and health, and food and culture. Now, let's recall some key points. Who can name some words we learned to describe food? S3: Delicious, sweet, salty. S4: Tasty, and we also learned some words about cooking, like cut, stir. T: Great! These words help us better talk about food. And do you still remember the story in the text about the writer's favorite food memory? S5: Yes, it was about the food the writer's mom made, and it brought back sweet memories. T: Right. Food can be full of emotions. So, today, we are going to sum up what we've learned in this unit and use this knowledge to create something interesting. Are you ready? Ss: Yes! 知识回顾 T: Now, let's start with a simple review. I'll show you some pictures of food on the screen. As soon as you see the picture, quickly stand up and tell me a word related to it. For example, if I show a picture of an apple, you can say “fruit” or “red” or “sweet”. Are you clear? Ss: Yes! (The teacher shows pictures one by one, including a pizza, a carrot, a bowl of soup, etc.) S6: Pizza, it's Italian food. S7: Carrot, it's a vegetable. S8: Soup, we can make chicken soup. T: Well done! You all remembered these food - related words. Next, let's review the grammar we learned in this unit. Do you remember the use of linking verbs? Who can give me an example? S9: “The pizza smells delicious.” Here “smells” is a linking verb. T: Excellent. Linking verbs like “look”, “taste”, “smell”, “feel” are very useful when we describe food. They help us show how food appears or makes us feel. Now, I'll give you some sentences, and you need to fill in the blanks with the correct linking verbs. (The teacher shows sentences on the screen, such as “The apples ____ red.” “The ice - cream ____ sweet.” “The fish soup ____ good.”) S10: The apples look red. S11: The ice - cream tastes sweet. S12: The fish soup smells good. T: Perfect! You really understand the use of linking verbs. Now, let's move on to another important part, the relationship between food and different aspects of our lives. Who can tell me how food is related to culture? S13: Different countries have different signature dishes. For example, dumplings are a traditional food in China, and pizza is famous in Italy. T: That's right. Food is an important part of culture. It can tell us a lot about a country or a region. And how about food and health? S14: We should eat a balanced diet. Vegetables and fruits are good for our health, while too much junk food is bad. T: Exactly. Eating the right food is very important for our health. We need to make good food choices. 制作食物资料页 - 准备阶段 T: Now, it's time for our main task today. We are going to make a fact sheet about our favorite food. First, think about your favorite food. It can be anything, a kind of snack, a main dish, or a dessert. Have you decided? Ss: Yes! T: Great. Next, you need to search for some information about this food. I'll divide you into groups of four. In your group, you can use your mobile phones or the books in our classroom library to find the following information: What does it look like? How does it taste? Where does it come from? Is there any interesting history or culture behind it? And what are the health benefits of this food? For example, if your favorite food is chocolate, you can find out that it is usually brown, it tastes sweet and a bit bitter, it comes from cacao beans which were first used by the ancient Mayans, and it contains some antioxidants which are good for health. Are you clear about what to do? Ss: Yes! (Students start to search for information in their groups. The teacher walks around, providing help and guidance.) T: Group 1, are you having any trouble finding information? S15: Teacher, we are looking for information about hamburgers, but we are not sure which website is reliable. T: You can try some well - known food websites or encyclopedia websites. Also, don't forget to take notes of the important information. T: Group 3, how's it going? S16: We are searching for information about sushi. We found that sushi originated in Japan, but we are not sure how to describe its health benefits clearly. T: Sushi is often made with fresh fish and rice. Fresh fish is rich in protein and healthy fats. You can write about these points. 制作食物资料页 - 创作阶段 T: Now that you have found the information, let's learn the framework of making a fact sheet. On the top of the fact sheet, you should write the name of the food in big letters. Then, divide the paper into different parts. In the “Appearance” part, describe what the food looks like, its color, shape, etc. In the “Taste” part, write about how it tastes. In the “Origin” part, tell where it comes from. In the “History & Culture” part, share the interesting stories or cultural meanings related to the food. And in the “Health Benefits” part, list the good things it can do for our health. (The teacher shows an example of a fact sheet about “Pizza” on the screen while explaining.) T: Also, I'll give you some useful sentence patterns to help you write. For example, when describing the appearance, you can use “It is + color + and has a + shape”. Like “It is round and has a flat surface.” When talking about the taste, you can say “It tastes + adjective”, such as “It tastes delicious and cheesy.” When introducing the origin, “It originated from + place” is a good sentence pattern. Now, take out your papers and start to create your fact sheets. You can also draw some pictures or stick some photos of the food to make it more attractive. (Students start to create their fact sheets. The teacher continues to walk around, checking students' progress and offering help.) T: S17, your handwriting is very neat. But you can add more details in the “History & Culture” part. Maybe you can find out when this food became popular in your area. T: Group 4, your pictures of the food are very beautiful. But make sure your sentences are grammatically correct. Check the use of verbs and articles. 制作食物资料页 - 展示阶段 T: Time's up! Now, each group will choose one member to come to the front and present your fact sheet to the class. When presenting, speak clearly and loudly. First, introduce the name of the food, and then go through each part of the fact sheet. After the presentation, we will have a Q&A session. The rest of the class can ask questions if they have any. Let's start with Group 1. S18 (from Group 1): Hello, everyone. Our favorite food is hamburgers. Hamburgers are round and have two pieces of bread with meat, vegetables, and sauce in the middle. They taste very delicious, with a combination of savory meat and fresh vegetables. Hamburgers originated from Germany. At first, it was a kind of sandwich with beef. Now, it is very popular all over the world. Although hamburgers are high in calories, the meat in them provides protein. And the vegetables like lettuce and tomatoes give us vitamins. T: Good job, S18. Now, does anyone have any questions for Group 1? S19: I want to know, are there any special hamburgers in different places? S20 (from Group 1): Yes, in some places, they put local ingredients in hamburgers. For example, in Hawaii, they may add pineapple. (Each group takes turns to present, and the Q&A session follows.) 课堂总结与反思 T: Today, we had a great class. We reviewed what we learned in Unit 3 Food matters, and you all did an excellent job in making the fact sheets about your favorite food. Through this activity, you not only improved your English skills in using vocabulary, grammar, and writing, but also deepened your understanding of the relationship between food and our lives. You learned about the culture, history, and health aspects of food. Now, let's think about what we have done today. What did you enjoy most in this class? S21: I enjoyed searching for information about my favorite food. I learned a lot of new things about it. S22: I liked presenting our fact sheet. It was fun to share with the class. T: That's good. And did you find any difficulties? S23: It was a bit hard to find accurate information about the history and culture of my food. T: That's a common problem. Next time, you can try more resources and be more patient. Also, think about how you can use what you learned today in your daily life. Maybe you can introduce your favorite food to your foreign friends in English, or make healthier food choices based on what you know about food and health. T: For homework, I want you to perfect your fact sheets. Add more details if possible, and make sure there are no mistakes. Then, you can share it with your family. That's all for today's class.
