本文围绕“Unit 5 What were you doing when the rainstorm came? Section A（2a - 2d）”展开，核心知识点为过去进行时与一般过去时的运用。承接之前时态知识，为后续复杂时态学习奠基，呼应单元主题。通过听力、复述、角色扮演等环节，渗透语言能力、文化意识、思维品质和学习能力等核心素养。 本教学设计亮点在于采用多种特色教法，如听后填空、故事复述等。从学生层面看，能提升语言运用与思维能力；从教师层面，提供清晰授课路径；从课堂效果看，增强互动，有效突破区分两种时态这一教学难点。

Unit 5 What were you doing when the rainstorm came? Section A（2a - 2d） Teaching Objectives By the end of the lesson, students will be able to: Sequence pictures based on a rainstorm story by listening (2a). Fill in blanks with past continuous and simple past verbs from the listening (2b). Retell the rainstorm story through a TV reporter - boy conversation (2c). Role - play the 2d conversation, using the past continuous tense correctly (2d). Teaching Key Points & Difficulties Key Points Mastering the use of past continuous and simple past in context. Retelling a story with sequential events. Role - playing conversations about past activities. Difficulties Distinguishing between past continuous (actions in progress) and simple past (completed actions) in listening and speaking. Retelling the story coherently with correct tense usage. Teaching Methods Listening - based Sequencing & Filling Story Retelling Practice Role - play Communication Teaching Aids Textbook, blackboard, multimedia, audio player Teaching Procedure I. Warm - up & Tense Review (7 mins) Daily Dialogue Invite two students to perform a short dialogue using 1c’s structure: A: What were you doing when the rainstorm came? B: I was walking to school. Praise and highlight past continuous usage: “was walking” (action in progress). Tense Reminder Write on the board: Past Continuous: was/were + doing (action in progress). Simple Past: verb - ed (completed action). Explain: “In today’s lesson, we’ll use both tenses to talk about a rainstorm story.” II. 2a Activity – Listening & Picture Sequencing (10 mins) Pre - listening Show 2a pictures (boy in various rainstorm situations: alarm not going off, taking shower, waiting for bus, etc.). Ask: “What do you think happened in each picture? Let’s predict the story order.” Encourage students to guess, e.g., “First, the alarm didn’t go off. Then he got up late...” While - listening Play 2a audio. Tell students: “Listen and number the pictures [1–5] based on the story.” Play the audio twice. Pause after each play to let students adjust numbers. Post - listening Check answers together. Ask a student to explain the sequence: “First, the alarm didn’t go off (picture 2). Then he took a shower (picture 3)...” (actual order depends on audio; guide students to confirm). III. 2b Activity – Verb Filling with Tenses (12 mins) Instruction Show 2b sentences with blanks. Tell students: “Listen again to the 2a audio. Fill in the blanks with the correct verbs (past continuous or simple past).” Sentences: I ______ so busy looking for the umbrella that I didn’t see a car coming. (was) My alarm didn’t go off so I ______ up late. (woke) I took a hot shower and ______ some warm food. (ate) I ______ for the bus when it began to rain heavily. (was waiting) I ______ to the bus stop but I still missed the bus. (ran) Student Activity Students listen and fill in blanks. Then, pair - check. Walk around to help, asking “Why is ‘was waiting’ correct here? (action in progress)”. Check answers: was (past continuous: busy doing) woke (simple past: completed action) ate (simple past: completed) was waiting (past continuous: action in progress when rain began) ran (simple past: completed action) IV. 2c Activity – Story Retelling (10 mins) Instruction Explain 2c: “Retell the rainstorm story as a conversation between a TV reporter and the boy. Use the information from 2a and 2b.” Example dialogue: TV reporter: Tell us what happened yesterday morning. Boy: Well, my alarm didn’t go off, so I woke up late... Student Activity Students work in pairs (reporter & boy). Walk around to guide, encouraging use of both tenses: “Use ‘was doing’ for actions in progress, ‘did’ for completed actions.” Invite 2 - 3 pairs to perform. Praise good tense usage, e.g., “‘I was waiting for the bus when it began to rain’ – correct past continuous!”. V. 2d Activity – Role - play Conversation (11 mins) Instruction Show 2d dialogue (Mary & Linda’s calls). Tell students: “Read the dialogue. Practice role - playing, paying attention to past continuous (was helping, was taking, was sleeping) and simple past (called, didn’t pick up).” Explain new expressions: “pick up” (answer the phone), “need help with homework”. Student Activity Students pair up to practice. Walk around to correct pronunciation and tense errors, e.g., “‘I was sleeping’ – not ‘I were sleeping’”. Invite pairs to perform in front of the class. After each, ask the class to spot good language use, like “Correct use of ‘was + doing’ for actions during calls.” VI. Summary & Homework (5 mins) Summary Recap key points: Using past continuous (action in progress) and simple past (completed action) in stories and conversations. Sequencing events, retelling stories, and role - playing. Write on the board: Tense Mix: Past Continuous: was/were + doing (rainstorm came while he was waiting). Simple Past: verb - ed (alarm didn’t go off, ran to bus stop). Homework (1) Write a short story (6 - 8 lines) about a “bad morning” using both past continuous and simple past. Include at least 3 past continuous verbs. (2) Practice 2d’s dialogue at home, recording yourself (optional) to check pronunciation and tense usage.
