Unit 3 My School-Section A-1a-1d
Students can master the key vocabulary about school facilities, including library, playground, science lab, dining hall, etc.
Students are able to understand and use sentence patterns "Where is...? It's...", "Is there a... in this school? Yes, there is./No, there isn't." and prepositions of place such as "next to", "in front of", "across from", "between... and..." correctly.
Mastering the vocabulary related to school facilities. Teachers can use flashcards, pictures or real - object demonstrations to help students remember these words.
Grasping the sentence patterns for asking and answering about the locations of school facilities. Design various practice activities, such as role - playing and pair work, to strengthen students' understanding and application.
Understanding and using prepositions of place correctly. Visual aids like pictures and diagrams can be used to clarify the meanings of these prepositions.
This part is from Unit 3 My School in the English textbook for Grade 7. It mainly focuses on school facilities and their locations. 1a presents a campus plan with various school places marked, such as the library, playground, and science lab. This picture provides a visual aid for students to get familiar with the key vocabulary.
The dialogues in 1b - 1d are about students asking for directions to different places in the school. Through these conversations, students can learn how to use sentence patterns like "Where is...? It's...", "Is there a... in this school? Yes, there is./No, there isn't." and prepositions of place like "next to", "in front of", "across from", etc. to describe the locations of school facilities.
Students in Grade 7 have already learned some basic English words and simple sentence patterns in primary school. They can understand and use some common daily expressions. For example, they are familiar with asking and answering about the existence of things like "Is there a...?" However, their vocabulary related to school facilities is limited.
In terms of language skills, they have basic listening and speaking abilities, but their listening comprehension may be challenged when dealing with new words and complex sentence structures. Their speaking may lack accuracy and fluency, especially when expressing more detailed information.
教学环节一 Warming - up
Lead - in
Greet the students as usual. Then show them a short video about a beautiful school. After watching, ask them some questions:
"What can you see in the video?"
"Do you like this school? Why or why not?"
These questions can arouse students' interest and lead them to think about their own schools, thus smoothly introducing the topic of this unit - My School.
教学环节二 Teaching Procedures
Pre - listening
Vocabulary teaching
Show pictures of different school facilities one by one on the PPT, such as a library, a playground, a science lab, etc. While showing the pictures, teach the new words. For example, when showing the picture of a library, say, "Look, this is a library. We can read books in the library. L - I - B - R - A - R - Y, library." Let students repeat the words several times.
Use flashcards to review the words. Show the flashcards quickly and ask students to read the words out as fast as they can.
Introducing sentence patterns and prepositions of place
Draw a simple picture of a school on the blackboard with a few facilities, like a classroom and a playground. Then use the sentence pattern "Where is the...? It's..." to ask and answer about the location. For example, point to the classroom and ask, "Where is the classroom?" Then answer, "It's next to the playground." Teach the preposition "next to" at the same time.
Show some pictures with different positions of objects and use other prepositions of place like "in front of", "across from", "between... and..." to describe the positions. Let students practice repeating the sentences.
While - listening
1b Listening
Tell students that there are three students in the school who are looking for different places. Show the pictures of Ella, Peter and Emma on the PPT. Then play the recording for the first time. Ask students to listen carefully and number the places they hear in the order they are mentioned.
After playing the recording, check the answers with the whole class.
1d Listening
Play the recording again. This time, ask students to listen carefully and complete the sentences in 1d.
After they finish, ask some students to read out their answers. Check the answers together and explain any difficult points in the dialogues, such as the pronunciation of some words or the usage of certain sentence patterns.
Post - listening
Role - playing
Divide students into groups of three. Each group member plays the role of Ella, Peter or the person who gives directions. Let them practice the dialogues in 1b - 1d. Encourage them to use their own voices and expressions.
After a few minutes of practice, ask some groups to come to the front of the class and act out their dialogues. The rest of the class can watch and listen, and then give some simple comments, like which group did the best in pronunciation or acting.
Group discussion
Show a simple school map on the PPT which is different from the one in the textbook. Divide students into groups. Ask each group to discuss and describe the locations of different facilities on the map using the learned vocabulary and sentence patterns. For example, "The dining hall is across from the library. The art building is next to the music hall."
Walk around the classroom to listen to their discussions and offer help if necessary. After that, ask some groups to report their discussions to the whole class.
Summary and Homework
Summary
Review the key vocabulary about school facilities and the important sentence patterns and prepositions of place with the students. Ask some students to sum up what they have learned in this class.
Homework
Ask students to draw a simple map of their own school at home and write a short passage to describe the locations of at least five school facilities using the English they have learned in this class.
Encourage students to practice the dialogues with their partners after class.
Blackboard Design
On the left - hand side of the blackboard, write the new vocabulary about school facilities, such as library, playground, science lab, etc.
In the middle, write the important sentence patterns:
"Where is...? It's..."
"Is there a... in this school? Yes, there is./No, there isn't."
On the right - hand side, write the prepositions of place: next to, in front of, across from, between... and...
Teaching Reflection
After the class, think about whether the teaching objectives have been achieved. For example, check if students can really master the vocabulary and use the sentence patterns correctly.
Consider the effectiveness of the teaching methods. Whether the communicative approach, task - based teaching method and audio - visual teaching method can really arouse students' interest and help them learn.
Analyze students' participation in class activities. Find out if there are still some students who are not actively involved and think about how to encourage them in the future teaching.
