Unit 6 Be a Champion! Lesson 34: Modern Olympics I. Teaching Objectives By the end of the lesson, students will be able to: Identify consistent vs. changing Olympic elements (symbol, motto, torch vs. slogan, mascot, song) to answer “S”/“D” questions, aligning with High school entrance examination reading - detail extraction. Recognize and analyze comparative/superlative forms (e.g., faster, farther, farthest) in context, preparing for High school entrance examination grammar tasks. Understand the cultural and symbolic meanings of Olympic elements (rings, torch, motto) and discuss their global significance, supporting High school entrance examination - style cultural - analysis skills. Collaborate in pairs to research and present Olympic - element comparisons, enhancing High school entrance examination teamwork and information - sharing skills. II. Key Points & Difficulties Key Points Consistent Olympic Elements: Symbol (five rings: continents united). Motto (“Faster, Higher, Stronger”). Torch (symbol of peace, light, friendship). Changing Olympic Elements: Slogan (created by host city). Mascot (unique to each Games). Song (reflects host - city spirit). Comparative/Superlative Forms: Adjectives (more important, farther, farthest) and adverbs (faster, higher, stronger). Difficulties Explaining symbolic meanings (e.g., five rings = global unity) clearly in English. Distinguishing between “consistent” and “changing” elements (e.g., torch vs. mascot) and justifying answers. Accurately using comparative/superlative forms in new sentences (e.g., “My run is faster than yours, but hers is the fastest.”). III. Teaching Methods Task - Based Learning (TBL): Through “S”/“D” classification, comparative/superlative identification, cultural - symbol analysis, and pair - research projects. Symbol - Interpretation Activity: Drawing and explaining Olympic symbols (rings, torch) to deepen understanding. Collaborative Learning: Pair work for Olympic - element comparisons, emphasizing peer feedback on clarity and accuracy. IV. Teaching Aids CAI (Olympic - element slides, comparative/superlative examples, research - guide templates). Textbook, worksheets, and “Olympic Element Cards” (with symbols, mottos, mascots for classification practice). V. Teaching Procedures Step 1: Warm - up – Olympic Mascot & Unity (5 mins) Discuss the THINK ABOUT IT questions: Which mascot do you like best? (E.g., “Beijing 2008 Fuwa—cute and cultural!”) What do you think is the same in every Olympics? (E.g., “Five rings—symbol of unity.”) Share: Invite 3–4 students to share. Write down keywords: mascot, unity, Olympic symbols, same/different. Step 2: Pre - reading – Olympic Element Preview (8 mins) Element Classification Prep: Present elements (symbol, motto, torch, slogan, mascot, song) and ask students to guess: “Which stay the same? Which change?” Teach terms: “consistent” (same) vs. “changing” (different). Prediction: Ask: “Why do some Olympic elements change? To reflect host - country culture?” Step 3: Reading – Consistent vs. Changing Elements (12 mins) Complete Let’s Do It! 1 (S/D Classification): Answers: D (slogan changes) S (torch is same) D (mascot changes) S (symbol is same) S (motto is same) D (song changes) Symbol - Interpretation Activity: Draw the five rings on the board. Ask: “What do the colors/continents represent?” (Link to text: “red = America, yellow = Asia”). Cultural - Significance Discussion: “Why is the torch a symbol of peace? How does the motto ‘Faster, Higher, Stronger’ inspire athletes?” Step 4: Vocabulary & Grammar Practice (10 mins) Complete Let’s Do It! 2 (Underline Comparatives/Superlatives): Answers (Underlined): more important (comparative) farther, farthest (comparative, superlative) largest (superlative) best (superlative) Fewer (comparative) Sentence Expansion with Forms: “To be a champion, train harder (comparative) than others, and aim to be the hardest - working (superlative)!” Error - correction Practice: Fix: “My airplane flew more far” → “My airplane flew farther” (comparative accuracy). Step 5: Pair Project – Olympic - Element Comparison (15 mins) Task Introduction: Comparison Template: Olympic Element Consistent (S) or Changing (D)? Why It Matters (Symbolic Meaning) Five - ring symbol S Unites continents Guiding Questions: How do changing elements (slogan, mascot) reflect host - country culture? Why do consistent elements (motto, torch) stay the same? Pair Work: Students research one element each (e.g., “2008 Beijing slogan: One world, one dream”), fill the template, and present. The teacher guides symbolic - meaning explanations. Class Sharing: Pairs present comparisons. Feedback focuses on: Clarity of S/D classification. Depth of symbolic - meaning analysis. Step 6: Summary & Homework (5 mins) Summary: Recap consistent/changing Olympic elements, comparative/superlative forms, and cultural symbolism. Homework: （1）Write a 6 - sentence reflection: “Why Olympic Elements Matter” (use 3 key terms: symbol, motto, mascot). （2）Polish the pair project and add one creative “new Olympic element” idea (e.g., a “future - themed mascot for 2050”). VI. Blackboard Design Consistent vs. Changing Elements: Element Consistent (S) / Changing (D) Symbolic Meaning Five rings S Continents united Motto S “Faster, Higher, Stronger” Torch S Peace, light, friendship Slogan D Host - city spirit Mascot D Unique to each Games Song D Reflects host culture Key Grammar: Comparatives (more important, farther) + Superlatives (farthest, largest) Core Message: “Olympics blend unity (consistent elements) and diversity (changing elements)—celebrate both!” 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
