This teaching material is from "Unit 4 My Favourite Subject - Section A - Grammar Focus" in the 2024 - 2025 academic year's People's Education Press English textbook for Grade 7. The unit centers around the theme of "favourite subjects", which is highly relevant to students' daily school life. Grammar Focus, as a crucial part of this section, mainly focuses on the general present tense. The general present tense is one of the fundamental tenses in English grammar. It is used to express habits, general truths, regular actions, and personal preferences. By learning this grammar point, students can describe their daily routines, likes and dislikes more accurately, which will greatly enhance their language expression ability in daily communication. Grade 7 students have just entered junior high school. They have already learned some basic English knowledge in primary school, such as 26 English letters, simple words, and some basic sentence patterns. However, their grammar knowledge is still relatively limited. Although they may have a vague understanding of the concept of tense, they are often confused when it comes to specific usage. For example, they may have difficulty in distinguishing between the general present tense and other tenses they have learned, like the present continuous tense. In terms of vocabulary related to school subjects, students may have learned some common subject names, but their vocabulary is not comprehensive enough. Some students may have trouble pronouncing or spelling certain subject names correctly. 教学环节一 Warming - up Greet the students as usual: "Good morning/afternoon, class! How are you today?" Encourage students to respond actively. Then, show some pictures of different school subjects on the PPT, such as a picture of a math book, a science experiment, and a Chinese poem. Point to each picture and ask students: "What's this?" Guide students to answer in English: "It's math/science/Chinese...". This activity can review the vocabulary of school subjects that students have learned before and arouse their interest in the topic of this class. 教学环节二 Teaching Procedures Presentation First, write a simple sentence on the blackboard: "I like English." Explain to students that this sentence is in the general present tense, which is used to talk about something that is true now, habits, or general facts. Then, show some more sentences on the PPT, such as "You like music. He likes PE. She likes art. We like history. They like geography." Let students read these sentences aloud and observe the sentence structure. Guide them to find out the pattern: subject + verb (base form or with - s/-es) + object. Next, focus on the third - person singular form changes of verbs. Write some verbs on the blackboard, like "like", "go", "do", "have", etc. Show students how to change them into the third - person singular form: "likes", "goes", "does", "has". Explain the rules in detail: for most verbs, just add "-s"; for verbs ending in - s, - x, - ch, - sh, or - o, add "-es"; and for the verb "have", it changes to "has" in the third - person singular form. After that, present the negative and interrogative forms of the general present tense. Write on the blackboard: "I don't like math. Do you like math?" Explain that for the negative form of the general present tense with the verb "like", we use "don't/doesn't + like", and for the interrogative form, we use "Do/Does... like...?" For the third - person singular subject, we use "doesn't" in the negative form and "Does" in the interrogative form. Practice Oral Practice Conduct a "Rapid Fire" activity. Divide students into pairs. One student starts by saying a sentence in the general present tense, such as "I like swimming." The other student has to quickly respond with a similar sentence, but change the subject and verb. For example, "He likes running." They continue this way for a certain number of rounds. This activity can help students practice using the general present tense orally and improve their speaking speed and accuracy. Organize a group discussion. Divide students into groups of four or five. Ask each group to discuss their favourite subjects and the reasons. Each student in the group should use the general present tense to express their opinions, like "I like English because it's interesting. She likes art because she can draw beautiful pictures." Encourage students to ask each other questions, such as "Why do you like it?" Written Practice Distribute a worksheet to each student. The worksheet contains some exercises about the general present tense, such as filling in the blanks with the correct form of verbs, changing sentences into negative or interrogative forms, and writing sentences according to given prompts. For example: Fill in the blanks: He ____ (go) to school by bike every day. Change the sentence into a negative form: She likes music. Write a sentence: 我爸爸每天看电视。(My father ____ TV every day.) Let students do the exercises independently first, and then check the answers together in class. Explain the mistakes students made and reinforce the grammar points. Consolidation Listen and Answer Play a short dialogue recording about students talking about their favourite subjects on the PPT. The dialogue contains several sentences in the general present tense. After playing the recording once, ask students some questions, such as "What's Tom's favourite subject?" "Why does Lucy like science?" Let students listen to the recording again if necessary and answer the questions. This activity can train students' listening ability and their understanding of the general present tense in real - life dialogues. Role - playing Set up a scenario: Suppose there is a new student in the class. The new student is asking classmates about their favourite subjects. Divide students into groups of three. One student acts as the new student, and the other two act as classmates. They should use the general present tense to create a dialogue. For example: New student: Hi! I'm new here. What's your favourite subject? Classmate 1: Hi! My favourite subject is math. It's very interesting. New student: How about you? Classmate 2: I like PE. I can play basketball in PE class. Let several groups come to the front of the class to perform their dialogues. After each group finishes, ask other students to give comments and feedback. Summary Review the key points of the general present tense with students. Write on the blackboard: the formation of affirmative, negative, and interrogative sentences; the third - person singular form changes of verbs; and how to use the general present tense to talk about personal preferences and daily habits. Emphasize the importance of mastering the general present tense in English learning and daily communication. Encourage students to keep practicing using this tense in their daily lives. Homework Ask students to write a short passage about their daily school life using the general present tense. The passage should include at least five sentences, such as "I get up at 7:00 every morning. I go to school by bus. I have four classes in the morning. My favourite subject is... I do my homework after school." Tell students to review the grammar points learned in this class and preview the next part of the textbook. 1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
