Unit 6 Be a Champion! Lesson 33: 2800 Years of Sports I.

Master Olympic - themed vocabulary (e.g., compete, host, modern, ancient) and use them to discuss the Olympics’ past and present, preparing for High school entrance examination vocabulary tasks. Understand the evolution of the Olympics (from ancient Greece to global event) and analyze the significance of fair play and inclusivity, supporting High school entrance examination - style historical - and - cultural analysis. Collaborate in groups to research and share Olympic facts (e.g., first modern Olympics, women’s participation), enhancing High school entrance examination information - gathering and presentation skills. II. Key Points & Difficulties Key Points Olympic History Details: Ancient: Began 776 BC in Greece; men only, married women couldn’t watch. Modern: Began 1896; China hosted 2008 (29th Games); men + women compete. Vocabulary & Phrases: compete, host, modern, ancient, spirit of fair play — used in historical and contemporary Olympic contexts. Difficulties Explaining long - term Olympic evolution (2800 years) in simple, chronological English. Using historical - event vocabulary (e.g., “host the Olympics”) accurately in discussions. Analyzing the impact of inclusivity changes (women’s participation) on the Olympics’ global significance. III. Teaching Methods Task - Based Learning (TBL): Matching questions, blank - filling, vocabulary practice, and Olympic - fact research. Chronological Mapping: Using timelines to track ancient → modern Olympics evolution. Collaborative Learning: Group work for Olympic - fact research, emphasizing peer feedback on accuracy and clarity. IV. Teaching Aids CAI (Olympic - history timeline slides, vocabulary - definition animations, group - research templates). Textbook, worksheets, and “Olympic History Cards” (with key dates/events for timeline building). V. Teaching Procedures Step 1: Warm - up – Olympic Memories (5 mins) Discuss the THINK ABOUT IT questions: Have you ever watched the Olympics on TV? What did you watch? (E.g., “Watched gymnastics—amazing flips!”) Do you think the Olympics are important? Why or why not? (E.g., “Yes—promote global unity, fair play.”) Share: Invite 3–4 students to share. Write down keywords: Olympics, TV, important, fair play. Step 2: Pre - reading – Olympic History Prep (8 mins) Timeline Introduction: Show a blank timeline: 776 BC (ancient start) → 1896 (modern start) → 2008 (China hosts). Teach key terms: ancient, modern, host, compete. Prediction: Ask: What changes happened between ancient and modern Olympics? (E.g., “Women can compete now.”) Step 3: Reading – Olympic History Extraction (12 mins) Complete Let’s Do It! 1 (Match Questions & Answers): Answers: In 776 BC In Greece In 1896 In 2008 Yes, it was Timeline Update: Add answers to the class timeline. Text - Structure Analysis: Sections: Ancient (776 BC) → Modern (1896) → China’s role (2008) → Fair play/spirit. Inclusivity Discussion: “Why is it important that women now compete in the Olympics? How did ancient Greece’s rules limit the games?” Step 4: Vocabulary & Phrase Practice (10 mins) Complete Let’s Do It! 3 (Fill in Blanks with First Letters): Answers: married (Guo Wenjun was married) athlete (Chinese athletes) modern; host; competed (London is modern; host of 30th Games; countries competed) Sentence Expansion: Practice: “In modern Olympics, married athletes compete, host cities welcome the world, and countries unite in fair play.” Error - correction Practice: Fix: “China host the Olympics” → “China hosted the Olympics” (past - tense accuracy). Step 5: Group Project – Olympic Fact Research (15 mins) Task Introduction: Research Template: Olympic Fact Question Answer Source (Book/Website) Who is the father of modern Olympics? Pierre de Coubertin Textbook/Internet Guiding Questions: What key figures shaped the modern Olympics? (E.g., “Pierre de Coubertin—founder.”) How many sports/events were in the first ancient/modern Games? Group Work: Students research (using textbooks/Internet), fill templates, and prepare 3 - minute presentations. The teacher guides fact - checking (e.g., verifying de Coubertin’s role). Class Sharing: Groups present facts. Feedback focuses on: Accuracy of historical details. Clarity of explanations (e.g., “first ancient Olympics had 1 sport—stade race”). Step 6: Summary & Homework (5 mins) Summary: Recap Olympic history, vocabulary, and the importance of fair play/inclusivity. Homework: （1）Write a 6 - sentence reflection: “Ancient vs. Modern Olympics—What Changed?” (use 3 key terms: ancient, modern, compete). （2）Add one unique Olympic fact to the group’s research, with a “Why It Matters” explanation.
