教学设计 课题 Unit 3 Sports and Fitness - Discovering Useful Structures 教学目标 Language Ability: Students are expected to master grammar structures like the present participle and infinitive as attributes. They can use these structures to describe sports equipment, events, and express fitness goals, enhancing their written and oral English. Cultural Awareness: Through sports - themed materials, students understand how different cultures incorporate unique sports. For example, they recognize how cultural values are reflected in sports like cricket in India or sumo in Japan, thus promoting cross - cultural understanding. Thinking Quality: Analyzing sentence structures sharpens students' logical thinking. They learn to distinguish the functions of different structures in context, improving their ability to deconstruct and reconstruct complex sports - related sentences. Learning Ability: Students develop strategies for self - studying grammar. By observing examples and making generalizations, they become more independent learners, applying these skills to future grammar learning. 重难点 Key Points: Grasping the usage rules of the present participle and infinitive as attributes. Being able to use relevant grammar structures accurately when discussing sports and fitness, and strengthening understanding through practice. Difficult Points: Differentiating between the present participle and infinitive in terms of their semantic and functional nuances. Applying these structures correctly in complex sentences and real - life sports communication scenarios without confusion. 教学过程 Teacher: Good morning, class! Today, we're going to focus on an important part of Unit 3 - Discovering Useful Structures. As we all know, sports and fitness are not only great for our physical health but also provide us with rich language materials. By the end of this class, you'll be able to use some useful structures to talk about sports and fitness more accurately and vividly. So, let's get started! I. Lead - in Teacher: First, I want you to think about your favorite sports. Take a minute to recall why you like them. Now, I'll ask some of you to share. [Points to a student] Student 1: I like basketball because it's exciting. We can play as a team and score points. Teacher: Great! Basketball is really popular. What about you? [Points to another student] Student 2: I love swimming. It makes me feel free in the water, and it's good for my whole body. Teacher: Wonderful. Swimming is indeed a full - body workout. Now, let's look at some pictures on the screen. [Shows pictures of different sports like running, cycling, and tennis] Can you describe what the people in the pictures are doing? Student 3: The person in the first picture is running. He looks very energetic. Teacher: Exactly. And how about the second one? Student 4: The girl is cycling. She seems to be enjoying the ride. Teacher: Good job. Through these simple descriptions, we've already started using some basic language structures. But today, we'll learn more advanced and useful ones to make our descriptions better. II. Presenting the Structures Teacher: Now, let's look at the first structure - the present continuous tense for future arrangements. For example, "I am playing basketball with my friends tomorrow." Here, we use the present continuous form of the verb to show that we have already made a plan for the future. Can you give me another example? [Points to a student] Student 5: I am going swimming this afternoon. Teacher: Perfect! This structure is very common when we talk about our sports plans. Now, let's move on to the next one - the use of "it is + adjective + to - infinitive" to express opinions. For instance, "It is important to exercise regularly." This helps us to state how we feel about a particular sports - related activity. What's your opinion? Use this structure. Student 6: It is fun to play badminton with classmates. Teacher: Excellent! You've got the point. Another useful structure is the gerund (verb + -ing) as the subject. For example, "Running helps me stay in shape." The gerund here acts as the doer of the action in the sentence. Can you create a sentence like this? Student 7: Swimming makes me feel relaxed. Teacher: Well done. These structures will be very helpful when we talk about sports and fitness. III. Analyzing Examples in Texts Teacher: Now, let's open our textbooks to the reading passage about sports in Unit 3. I want you to read it carefully and find examples of the structures we just learned. [Students read the passage] Have you found any? [Points to a student] Student 8: In the sentence "We are organizing a sports meet next week", it uses the present continuous tense for future arrangements. Teacher: Right. What else? Student 9: "It is necessary to warm up before exercising" is an example of "it is + adjective + to - infinitive". Teacher: Good discovery. And for the gerund as the subject? Student 10: "Playing football regularly improves our teamwork skills." Teacher: Very good. By analyzing these examples in the text, you can see how these structures are used in real - life contexts. This will help you use them more naturally in your own speaking and writing. IV. Practice Activities Teacher: Let's start our first practice activity. I'll give you a list of sports. You need to use the present continuous tense for future arrangements to make sentences about your plans. [Distributes the list of sports: football, volleyball, yoga, etc.] You can work in pairs. [Students start working] [After a few minutes] Teacher: Okay, let's hear some of your sentences. [Points to a pair of students] Student 11: I am playing football with my club team on Sunday. Student 12: My friend and I are doing yoga tomorrow morning. Teacher: Great job. Now, for the second activity, I'll give you some adjectives like "fun", "tiring", "beneficial". You need to use the "it is + adjective + to - infinitive" structure to talk about different sports. Work in groups this time. [Distributes the list of adjectives] [After a while] Teacher: Time's up. Which group wants to share? Group 1 representative: It is fun to play table tennis. It is tiring to run a long distance. It is beneficial to do strength training. Teacher: Excellent. You've used the structure very well. Now, for the last activity, I want you to use the gerund as the subject to write a short paragraph about a sport you like. You can do this individually. [Students start writing] [After students finish writing] Teacher: Let's ask some of you to read your paragraphs. [Points to a student] Student 13: Cycling is a wonderful sport. Cycling keeps me fit and allows me to enjoy the beautiful scenery around. Cycling with friends is also a great way to socialize. Teacher: Very good. Your paragraph is well - written and uses the gerund as the subject effectively. V. Group Discussion Teacher: Now, let's have a group discussion. I'll give each group a topic related to sports and fitness. For example, "The best way to stay fit", "The importance of team sports", or "How to encourage more people to do sports". When you discuss, try to use the structures we've learned today. [Assigns topics to each group] [Groups start discussing] [After about 10 minutes] Teacher: Okay, each group choose a representative to share your discussion results. Group 2 representative: For the topic "The best way to stay fit", we think it is important to combine different kinds of exercises. Running helps with cardio, and doing weightlifting helps build muscle. We are planning to start a fitness routine that includes both running and weightlifting next month. Teacher: That's a great discussion. You've used the structures skillfully. What about the other groups? Group 3 representative: Regarding "The importance of team sports", we believe that playing team sports like basketball and football is beneficial for developing communication and cooperation skills. It is also a lot of fun to compete as a team. We are organizing a basketball tournament in our neighborhood next week to promote team sports. Teacher: Wonderful. You've not only expressed your opinions clearly but also related them to real - life plans using the structures. VI. Summary Teacher: Today, we've learned several useful structures related to sports and fitness, such as the present continuous tense for future arrangements, "it is + adjective + to - infinitive", and the gerund as the subject. We analyzed examples in texts and practiced using these structures through various activities. Remember, the key to mastering these structures is to keep using them in your daily conversations and writing about sports and fitness. VII. Homework Teacher: For homework, I want you to write a short article about your sports experience. You should use at least three of the structures we learned today. You can talk about a sports event you participated in, your favorite sport, or your fitness goals. This will help you solidify what you've learned in class. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
