This project in Starter Unit 1 Hello! Section B focuses on teaching students how to use a dictionary, which is an essential learning tool for English study. The content is designed to guide students to understand the basic rules of word arrangement in English dictionaries, such as the alphabetical order. For example, students will learn that words starting with 'a' come before words starting with 'b' in the dictionary. Through a series of activities, students are expected to master the skills of looking up words, including finding the correct page, identifying the word's pronunciation, meaning, and example sentences. Having studied English in primary school, students in Grade 7 already have a basic understanding of the 26 English letters, simple words like “apple”, “cat”, and some common greetings such as “Hello”, “Goodbye”. However, their vocabulary is still limited, and their understanding of English grammar is rather elementary. 教学环节一 Warming - up Greet the students with “Hello, class! How are you today?” and encourage them to respond. Then ask some students to share their English - learning experiences in primary school, such as what they liked most about learning English and what difficulties they had. Show some pictures of different types of dictionaries on the PPT, including English - Chinese dictionaries, English - English dictionaries, and electronic dictionaries, and ask students if they know how to use them. This can arouse students' interest and lead to the topic of this class - learning to use a dictionary. 教学环节二 Teaching Procedures Presentation New Words Teaching Write the key words “dictionary”, “alphabetical order”, “page number” on the blackboard. Teach students the pronunciation of these words by reading them aloud several times and asking students to imitate. For example, when teaching “dictionary”, pronounce it as /ˈdɪkʃənri/ clearly. Use simple sentences to explain the meaning, like “A dictionary is a very useful book. We can find the meaning of words in it.” Rules of Dictionary Word Arrangement Explain the concept of alphabetical order. Use the 26 English letters on the blackboard as an example. Point to the letters and say, “In an English dictionary, words are arranged in alphabetical order. That means words starting with 'a' come first, then words starting with 'b', and so on.” Give some simple examples, such as “apple” comes before “banana” in the dictionary. Practice Group Activity 1: Word Sorting Divide students into groups of four. Give each group a set of word cards with words like “cat”, “dog”, “elephant”, “ball”, “ant”. Ask students to work together to sort these words in alphabetical order. Walk around the classroom to monitor and offer help if necessary. After a few minutes, invite some groups to come to the front of the class and show their sorting results. Let other groups check and correct if there are any mistakes. Group Activity 2: Finding Words in the Dictionary Provide each group with a physical English - Chinese dictionary. Write some simple words on the blackboard, such as “book”, “pen”, “ruler”. Ask students to work in groups to find these words in the dictionary as quickly as possible. Each group should record the page number where they find the word. The first group to finish correctly wins. This activity can help students practice using the alphabetical order to locate words in the dictionary. Explanation Demonstration of Looking up a Word in Detail Choose a word, for example, “happy”. Take a dictionary and show students how to look it up step by step on the big screen. First, find the page where words starting with “h” are located according to the guide words on the top of each page. Then, look for the word “happy” among the words starting with “h”. Explain the information in the dictionary entry. Point to the pronunciation part /ˈhæpi/, and read it aloud, explaining the meaning of the pronunciation symbols. Then, read the definitions of “happy” and give examples from the dictionary, such as “I'm happy to see you.” Explain the part - of - speech abbreviation “adj.” which means it is an adjective. Understanding Symbols and Abbreviations Make a PPT showing common symbols and abbreviations in the dictionary, such as “/ /” for pronunciation, “n.” for noun, “v.” for verb, “pl.” for plural. Explain their meanings one by one and give examples for students to understand better. For example, for “pl.”, show the word “books” and explain that “book” is the singular form, and “books” is the plural form, and “pl.” is used to indicate the plural in the dictionary. Consolidation Individual Task: Looking up Words Independently Give each student a list of five new words, such as “window”, “door”, “table”, “chair”, “lamp”. Ask them to look up these words in the dictionary by themselves, write down the pronunciation, meaning, and part - of - speech. Walk around the classroom to check students' progress and help those who have difficulties. Group Discussion: Comparing Dictionary Entries Let students work in their original groups again. Each group member chooses one word from the list they just looked up. Then, they take turns to share the information they found in the dictionary about their chosen word with the group. The group members can compare the dictionary entries, discuss if there are any differences in understanding, and summarize the common ways to use the words. Summary Summarize the key points of this class with students. Review the key words related to using a dictionary, the alphabetical order rule, and how to extract useful information from the dictionary entry. Ask students to share what they have learned in this class. For example, ask, “Who can tell me how to find a word in the dictionary?” or “What information can we get from a dictionary entry?” Homework Assignment Ask students to find five new words they are interested in and look them up in the dictionary. They need to write down the words, their pronunciation, meaning, part - of - speech, and an example sentence for each word in their English notebooks. Encourage students to try to use the dictionary more often when they encounter new words in their daily English study, such as when reading English storybooks or doing English exercises. 1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
