Unit 2 Plant a Plant! Lesson 11: Amazing Plants I. Teaching Objectives By the end of the lesson, students will be able to: Knowledge: Extract details of 4 amazing plants (egret flower, shy plant, laughing tree, living fossil) including place, appearance, special feature, aligning with High school entrance examination reading detail - extraction skills. Master target words (eastern, shy, fossil, surprised, touch) and use them accurately in context (e.g., eastern Asia, shy plant, living fossil). Understand figurative descriptions (e.g., flowers look like flying egrets, a tree “laughs”). Skills: Complete High school entrance examination - style table - filling reading tasks by locating text evidence. Describe amazing plants using structures: “It looks like...”, “When...,...”, “It can... for...”, enhancing High school entrance examination writing and speaking competence. Analyze the text structure (name → feature → place) to model High school entrance examination reading strategies. Emotion: Appreciate the Magical of plants in nature, fostering curiosity and observation skills. II. Key Points & Difficulties Key Points: Reading Comprehension: Identify 4 plants’ features: Egret flower: Looks like flying egrets; grows in eastern Asia. Shy plant: Closes leaves when touched; grows in South America, China, etc. Laughing tree: “Laughs” when wind blows (fruit has a hole); grows in central Africa. Living fossil: Has 2 leaves/stem, lives up to 1,500 years; grows in southwest Africa. Recognize figurative language (comparison, personification). Vocabulary & Grammar: Use eastern, shy, fossil, surprised, touch in descriptive sentences (e.g., “Don’t touch the hot dish!”). Master time - adverbial clauses with when (e.g., “When something touches its leaves, they close up.”). Difficulties: Differentiating literal vs. figurative meanings (e.g., “a tree laughs” is personification, not real laughter). Integrating multiple plant features into a coherent description (e.g., writing a paragraph about one plant using 3+ details). III. Teaching Methods Task - Based Learning (TBL): Through reading table - filling, vocabulary practice, and plant - description tasks. Text - Analysis Approach: Unpack each plant’s structure (name → appearance/feature → place) to model High school entrance examination reading strategies. Collaborative Learning: Pair work for sharing “amazing plants,” emphasizing peer feedback on detail and language use. IV. Teaching Aids Textbook, PPT (plant images, vocabulary animations, table - filling templates), worksheets (vocabulary practice, plant - description guides). V. Teaching Procedures Step 1: Warm - up – Name That Plant (5 mins) Discuss THINK ABOUT IT: Ask: “How many plants can you name? Have you heard of special plants?” (E.g., Rose, sunflower; “Venus flytrap eats insects!”) Invite 3–4 students to share, writing keywords (plants, special, egret, shy). Lead - in to Amazing Plants: Say: “Today we’ll meet 4 ‘super plants’—they look like birds, close like shy kids, laugh like humans... Let’s explore!” Step 2: Pre - reading – Vocabulary & Prediction (8 mins) Teach Target Vocabulary: Use images and sentences to introduce words: eastern: “Japan is in eastern Asia.” (Show Asia map, mark eastern region.) shy: “This plant is shy—it closes leaves when touched.” (Show shy plant closing.) fossil: “Dinosaurs are fossils, but this plant is a ‘living fossil’.” (Show dinosaur fossil vs. living fossil plant.) surprised: “People are surprised when they hear the tree laugh.” (Show surprised face.) touch: “Don’t touch the hot pot!” (Show hand touching, then pulling back.) Highlight word classes: eastern (adj.), shy (adj.), fossil (n.), surprised (adj.), touch (v.). Predict Plant Features: Ask: “What will the ‘flying flower’ look like? Why is the tree called ‘laughing’?” Let students guess and justify. Step 3: Reading – Extract Plant Details (12 mins) Complete Let’s Do It! 2 (Table - Filling): Answers: Plant Place Feature Egret flower Eastern Asia Flowers look like flying egrets. Shy plant South America, China… Closes leaves when touched; reopens after minutes. Laughing tree Central Africa “Laughs” when wind blows (fruit has a hole). Living fossil Southwest Africa Has 2 leaves/stem; lives up to 1,500 years. Analysis: Guide students to find text evidence (e.g., “grows in eastern Asia” → place; “flowers look like flying egrets” → feature). Text Structure Mapping: For each plant, identify the pattern: Name → Appearance/Feature → Place. Model High school entrance examination strategy: “Scan for proper nouns (places) and descriptive adjectives (shy, amazing) to locate details.” Step 4: Vocabulary Practice – Form & Use (10 mins) Complete Let’s Do It! 3 (Word - Filling): Answers: touch (Don’t touch the dish! → v.) eastern (eastern Asia → adj.) shy (too shy to talk → adj.) surprised (everyone was surprised → adj.) Grammar Focus: Adjectives after be (e.g., shy, surprised). Time - adverbial clauses with when (e.g., “When you touch it, it closes.”). Sentence Expansion: Ask students to extend sentences with target words (e.g., “The egret flower in eastern Asia looks like a flying bird. It’s beautiful!”). Step 5: Speaking & Writing – Share Amazing Plants (15 mins) Task Introduction: Provide a description template: “The ______ is amazing! It lives in ______. It looks like ______. When ______, it ______. It can ______ for ______ years. How cool!” Example: “The living fossil is amazing! It lives in southwest Africa. It looks like a plant with 2 leaves. When it grows, it never stops. It can live for 1,500 years. How cool!” Pair Work: Students research or recall another amazing plant (e.g., Venus flytrap, corpse flower), then fill the template. Class Sharing: Invite 2–3 pairs to present. Feedback focuses on: Accurate vocabulary use (eastern, shy, fossil). Clear structure (appearance → feature → place → lifespan). Step 6: Summary & Homework (5 mins) Summary: Recap: 4 Plants: Egret flower (bird - like), shy plant (closing leaves), laughing tree (wind - triggered sound), living fossil (long - living). Vocabulary: eastern, shy, fossil, surprised, touch; Structure: “When...,...”. Core Message: “Plants are full of surprises—observe and discover!” Homework: Writing: Write a 10 - sentence passage about your “favorite amazing plant,” using 5 target words and 3 details from the text. Observation: Draw a picture of an amazing plant and label its features (e.g., “Laughing tree: fruit with a hole, grows in Africa”). VI. Blackboard Design Category Content 4 Amazing Plants 1.
