Unit 6 Great minds D Listening and speaking 教学设计 I. Teaching Objectives Guide students to understand listening materials about great minds (Florence Nightingale, Abraham Lincoln), mastering how to extract key details (life experiences, achievements, qualities), analyze their impact, and share stories of great people in groups. Develop listening skills in identifying main topics, specific details (steps, roles, contributions); enhance speaking skills in discussing great minds’ legacies, defining their qualities, and collaborating to present inspiring stories. Boost awareness of diverse great minds’ contributions (healthcare, social justice), and the ability to communicate about their inspiring stories using text - related vocabulary and strategies. II. Language Knowledge 1. Key words & phrases Great minds & contributions: Florence Nightingale (nursing, “Lady with the Lamp”), Abraham Lincoln (abolishing slavery, leading in war), “International Nurses Day” Functional language: “Why was Florence called...?”, “How did Lincoln change the world?”, “My favourite... is... because...” Listening for details: family background, education, career challenges, historical impact Presentation skills: “Let me share...”, “You won’t believe this story...”, “This showcases...” (for sharing great people’s stories) 2. Key sentences Listening answers: “Florence Nightingale was born into a rich family. She made hospitals cleaner during the war.” “Lincoln loved to read, worked as a lawyer, and abolished slavery.” Discussion expressions: “Florence was called ‘Lady with the Lamp’ because she cared for soldiers at night.” “Lincoln changed the world by ending slavery and uniting the nation.” Presentation: “My favourite great person is Tu Youyou—let me share her story. She discovered artemisinin, saving millions. This showcases her perseverance.” 3. Key and challenging points Detail Extraction: Accurately capturing specific info (Nightingale’s nursing journey, Lincoln’s pre - presidency life) in listening. Impact Analysis: Comparing how Nightingale reformed healthcare vs Lincoln reshaped society. Collaborative Storytelling: Working in groups to share great people’s stories, using “take turns” and engaging expressions. III. Teaching Procedures Step 1: Pre - listening — Activate Heroic Curiosity (7 minutes) D1 & D4 Warm - up (4 minutes): Discuss D1: “Who is Florence Nightingale? Why is she famous?”, linking to nursing and “Lady with the Lamp.” Share: “She’s a pioneer in modern nursing—let’s learn her story.” Preview D4: “What qualities make a great nurse? (caring, brave, innovative)”, activating prior knowledge about healthcare heroes. Vocabulary Link (3 minutes): Preteach terms (nursing, “Lady with the Lamp”, abolish slavery, “International Nurses Day”), linking to upcoming listening about Florence and Lincoln. Step 2: While - listening — Extract Details & Analyze (18 minutes) D2 - D3 Florence Nightingale (10 minutes): Play D2 (story: exclude d—her dream). Choose answer d. Complete D3 sentences: rich family, Germany, herself, cleaner, lamp. Discuss: “Why did she learn by herself? (No nursing schools then—shows determination).” Analyze D4: “Why ‘Lady with the Lamp’? (Cared for soldiers at night, symbol of hope). Her qualities: bravery, compassion, innovation.” D5 - D7 Abraham Lincoln (8 minutes): Play D5 (know: Lincoln abolished slavery). Then D6 (subheadings: 1 and 4). Complete D7 table: read, books, lawyer, law, Union. Discuss D8: “Lincoln changed the world by ending slavery, uniting the nation—his legacy is freedom and unity.” Step 3: Post - listening — Discuss & Collaborate (12 minutes) D8 & D9 Cultural Sharing (6 minutes): Students discuss D8 (Lincoln’s impact: ending slavery, winning war). Then D9: “Pick a great person (e.g., Tu Youyou, Confucius) to share. Use ‘Useful expressions’.” Model: “My favourite great person is Florence Nightingale—let me share her story. She went to Germany to learn nursing, made hospitals cleaner. This showcases her bravery.” Presentation Practice (6 minutes): Groups prepare to share great people’s stories, using “take turns” and engaging language. Example: “First, let’s talk about Abraham Lincoln—he loved reading, became a lawyer, abolished slavery. You won’t believe he taught himself law!” Peer feedback: “Did the story use ‘This showcases...’? Is the great person’s quality clear?” Step 4: Integration & Reflection (8 minutes) Summary of Great Minds (4 minutes): Recap: Florence (nursing reform, compassion), Lincoln (slavery abolition, unity). Highlight: Great minds use courage and innovation to change the world. Personal Connection (4 minutes): Ask: “Which great mind inspires you most? How can you apply their qualities?”, writing actions (e.g., “Be compassionate like Nightingale; fight for justice like Lincoln”) and sharing. IV. Assessment of Teaching Effectiveness Formative Assessment: Check D2 - D3 for Florence details and D5 - D7 for Lincoln info. Observe D8 - D9 for discussion fluency, collaboration, and “take turns” use. Summative Assessment: Evaluate group presentations for clear great person stories, creative use of expressions, and inspiring quality highlights. V. Design Purpose Skill Integration: Combines listening (details, impact) and speaking (discussion, storytelling) to explore healthcare and social justice heroes. Inspiration & Values: Links great minds’ stories to personal growth, fostering empathy, courage, and social responsibility. Collaborative Growth: Encourages group work and persuasive communication, building teamwork and cultural storytelling skills. VI. Blackboard Design Unit 6 Listening & Speaking — Great Minds: Nightingale, Lincoln, and You Florence Nightingale: Known as: “Lady with the Lamp” Achievements: Nursing reform, cleaner hospitals Qualities: Brave, compassionate, innovative Abraham Lincoln: Pre - presidency: Loved reading, lawyer, self - taught law Achievements: Abolished slavery, united the Union Story Sharing Expressions: “Let me share...”, “This showcases...”, “You won’t believe...” VII. Teaching Reflection If students struggle with detail extraction, practice pre - listening prediction (e.g., “What will the audio say about Nightingale’s education?”). For story sharing, provide a “story bank” (key facts, quotes) to inspire groups. Celebrate creative stories that blend facts with emotional impact, and empathetic reflections on applying great minds’ qualities. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
