教学设计 课题 Module 7 Great books- Unit 3 Language in use 课时 1 教学目标 Cultural Awareness: Recognize how language in great books reflects historical contexts (e.g., Shakespearean English) and cultural values. Language Competence: Master passive voice in all tenses (present, past, future) and modal verbs ("must be done"), with phrases like "be known for". Thinking Ability: Analyze language features (e.g., metaphor, idiom) in classic texts and apply them in creative writing. Learning Capacity: Self-assess grammar through exercises, and transfer knowledge to discuss modern literary works. 重难点 Grammar: Comprehensive review of passive voice (e.g., "Books were written centuries ago") and its pragmatic use. Vocabulary: Academic words like "comment," "review," "interpret," and phrasal verbs (e.g., "talk about," "find out"). Application: Translating between active/passive voices accurately, and using language tools to analyze literary excerpts. 教学环节 学习活动 新课教学 I. Lead - in (5 minutes) Teacher: Good morning class! In the previous two units, we explored some amazing great books and learned about remarkable writers like Confucius, Shakespeare, and Mark Twain. We studied their works, characters, and themes. Now, I’d like to start with a quick review game. I’ll say a sentence, and you tell me which language point or word from the last two units it relates to. For example, if I say “The story makes me feel sad”, you can say “the word ‘move’ because it means to make someone feel strong emotions”. Are you ready? Teacher: Shakespeare’s plays are still performed around the world. Student 1: It relates to the passive voice, because “are performed” shows the action is done to the plays. Teacher: Excellent! You’re absolutely right. Now, what about this one: The theme of this book is friendship. Student 2: It’s about the word “theme” which we learned last time. Teacher: Well done! Since we’ve reviewed some key points, today we are going to dive deeper into the language in use in Unit 3. We’ll focus on grammar, vocabulary, and how to use them more effectively. Let’s get started! II. Grammar review and explanation (15 minutes) 1. Passive voice review Teacher: First, let’s review the passive voice. We’ve seen many examples of the passive voice in the texts of the previous units, such as “Confucius’s ideas are still influencing us” and “These books are read by millions of people”. Who can tell me the basic structure of the passive voice? Student 3: It’s “be + past participle”. Teacher: Correct! The passive voice is used when we want to focus on the action or the object of the action rather than the subject. For example, “The homework was finished by Tom.” Here, we may be more interested in the fact that the homework was finished, not who finished it. Now, I’ll give you some active - voice sentences, and you change them into the passive voice. The first sentence is “They wrote this book in 1980.” Student 4: This book was written by them in 1980. Teacher: Great! Another one: “People all over the world love Shakespeare’s plays.” Student 5: Shakespeare’s plays are loved by people all over the world. Teacher: Perfect! Let’s practice more. Look at these sentences on the screen and work with your deskmates to transform them. (Give students a few minutes to discuss and then check the answers) 2. Attributive clause review Teacher: Next, we come to the attributive clause. Remember, an attributive clause is used to modify a noun or a pronoun. For example, “The book which I bought yesterday is very interesting.” In this sentence, “which I bought yesterday” is the attributive clause, and it modifies the noun “book”. Can you tell me what the relative pronouns we usually use in attributive clauses are? Student 6: Which, who, that. Teacher: Right! “Which” is used for things, “who” is used for people, and “that” can be used for both people and things in many cases. Now, I’ll give you some incomplete sentences, and you complete them with the right relative pronouns. The first one is “The man ______ is standing there is my teacher.” Student 7: who/that Teacher: Correct! The second one: “This is the house ______ he lived in last year.” Student 8: which/that Teacher: Well done! Now, let’s look at more complex examples in the text. Analyze these sentences with your group and discuss how the attributive clauses function. (After a few minutes, invite students to share their ideas) III. Vocabulary expansion and practice (15 minutes) Teacher: Now, let’s move on to vocabulary. We’ve learned many words related to great books in the previous units. Today, we’ll expand our vocabulary. Look at the word “classic”. A classic is a very good book, film, etc. that has been popular for a long time. For example, Romeo and Juliet is a classic play. Repeat after me, “classic”. (Students repeat) The word “masterpiece” means a work of art, music, or literature that is of very high quality. Shakespeare’s Hamlet is a masterpiece. Read it aloud, “masterpiece”. (Students repeat) “Literature” refers to written works, especially those with great artistic value, like novels, plays, and poems. We are studying great works of literature these days. Say it together, “literature”. (Students repeat) “Author” is the person who writes a book, article, etc. Mark Twain is the author of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Follow me, “author”. (Students repeat) Now, let’s play a vocabulary game. I’ll show you some pictures, and you use the new words we just learned to describe them. (Show pictures of classic books, famous authors, etc.) Teacher: Look at this picture. What can you say about it? Student 9: It’s a classic book written by a famous author. Teacher: Good! How about this picture of a beautiful painting? Student 10: Although it’s not a book, it can be seen as a masterpiece in the field of art. Teacher: Excellent thinking! Then, let’s do a fill - in - the - blanks exercise. I’ll give you a passage with some blanks, and you choose the right words from the box to fill them. (Distribute the exercise and check the answers after students finish) IV. Speaking practice (12 minutes) Teacher: It’s time for speaking practice. I’ll divide you into groups of three. Each group will be given a topic related to great books, such as “Your favorite classic book”, “A famous author you admire”, or “The influence of great literature on your life”. Discuss the topic within your group for 5 minutes. You should use the grammar and vocabulary we’ve reviewed today. (Teacher walks around to offer help and guidance) After the discussion, each group will choose one representative to present your ideas to the class. You have 2 minutes for the presentation. (Students present, and the teacher gives feedback on their language use, fluency, and content) V. Writing practice guidance (10 minutes) Teacher: Now, we are going to prepare for writing. In this unit, we aim to write a review of a great book. First, let’s analyze the structure of a book review. Usually, it includes an introduction, where you mention the title of the book and the author; the main body, where you talk about the plot, characters, themes, and your own opinions; and the conclusion, where you summarize your feelings and give a recommendation. Let’s look at some sample sentences for each part. For the introduction, you can say “[Book title] is a classic written by [Author’s name]. It has been widely read and loved by people for many years.” In the main body, “The story is set in [Time and place] and tells the story of [Main plot]. The main character, [Character’s name] is very [Character traits].” And for the conclusion, “Overall, I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves [Related genre]. It will surely leave a deep impression on you.” Now, you have 3 minutes to outline your book review. Think about which book you want to review and what points you want to include. (After 3 minutes) VI. Summary (3 minutes) Teacher: Today, we had a rich and productive class. We reviewed the passive voice and attributive clauses, expanded our vocabulary related to great books, practiced speaking, and prepared for writing a book review. These grammar points and words are very useful not only for understanding great books but also for expressing our ideas accurately in English. Remember to review what we learned today and keep practicing. VII. Homework (2 minutes) Teacher: For homework, I want you to complete the book review you outlined in class. Make sure to use the grammar and vocabulary we studied today. Also, check your writing for grammar mistakes and try to make your sentences more varied and interesting. Hand in your homework next class. That’s all for today. Goodbye, class! Students: 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 $$
