8A Unit 5 Word Power: Suffixes -ing, -ness, and -ion (教学设计) I. Teaching Objectives A. Knowledge Objectives 1. Students will master how to form nouns by adding the suffixes -ing, -ness, and -ion to verbs and adjectives. 2. Be able to correctly convert given verbs/adjectives into nouns using these suffixes, considering spelling changes (e.g., decide → decision, invite → invitation). 3. Apply the newly - formed nouns in context (e.g., filling in the letter from the Wild Animals Club). B. Ability Objectives 1. Improve vocabulary expansion skills through suffix learning. 2. Enhance reading and writing abilities by using derived nouns in sentences and texts. C. Emotional Objectives 1. Raise awareness of wildlife protection while using vocabulary in the context of wild animals. 2. Cultivate interest in English word - building and language exploration. II. Teaching Key & Difficult Points A. Key Points 1. Understand the rules of forming nouns with suffixes -ing, -ness, and -ion. 2. Correctly convert verbs/adjectives to nouns and use them in context. B. Difficult Points 1. Handle spelling changes when adding suffixes (e.g., celebrate → celebration, begin → beginning). 2. Accurately use derived nouns in complex sentences (e.g., the letter from the Wild Animals Club). III. Teaching Procedures A. Lead - in (5 minutes) 1. Show pictures of wild animals (pandas, tigers, etc.) and a short video clip about wildlife protection. 2. Ask questions: · “What do you know about wild animals’ situation?” · “Can you name some actions or qualities related to protecting them? (e.g., protect, kind, happy...)” · Purpose: Connect the topic to wildlife protection and activate prior vocabulary. B. Presentation (10 minutes) 1. Introduce the suffixes with examples: · -ing: mean → meaning (verb → noun, showing “what something is about”). · -ness: ill → illness (adjective → noun, showing “the state of being...”). · -ion: act → action (verb → noun, showing “the process or result of an action”). · Highlight spelling changes with examples (e.g., shop → shopping, happy → happiness, decide → decision, invite → invitation). 2. Write the rules on the board: · For -ing: Usually add directly to verbs; some verbs need spelling adjustments (double the final consonant, drop “e”, etc.). · For -ness: Add to adjectives; some adjectives with “y” change to “i” (e.g., happy → happiness). · For -ion: Add to verbs; many verbs need spelling changes (e.g., celebrate → celebration, decide → decision). C. Practice (15 minutes) 1. Activity A: · Students work individually to convert verbs/adjectives to nouns (e.g., express → expression, celebrate → celebration). · Walk around to check and provide help, especially with spelling changes (e.g., begin → beginning, meet → meeting). · Check answers together, explaining difficult conversions (e.g., dark → darkness, sick → sickness). 2. Wild Animals Club Letter: · Students fill in the blanks in the letter, converting words to nouns (e.g., hunt → hunting, protect → protection). · Encourage using dictionaries if unsure. · Discuss answers as a class, focusing on context and correct suffix usage (e.g., feel → feelings, happy → happiness, sad → sadness, invite → invitation, kind → kindness). D. Consolidation (10 minutes) 1. Group Challenge: · Divide students into groups. Give each group a set of verbs/adjectives (e.g., help, sad, educate, strong, donate). · Groups create short sentences about wildlife protection using the derived nouns (e.g., We need your help and kindness to support wildlife protection. Education about animals’ living conditions is important.). · Each group shares their sentences; provide feedback on vocabulary and grammar. 2. Error Correction Game: · Write some incorrect noun formations on the board (e.g., protect → protecttion, happy → happyness). · Students race to correct them and explain the mistakes. E. Summary (3 minutes) 1. Recap the rules of forming nouns with -ing, -ness, and -ion, emphasizing spelling changes. 2. Highlight the importance of these suffixes in expanding vocabulary and expressing ideas precisely. F. Homework (2 minutes) 1. Find 5 more verbs/adjectives from the unit, convert them to nouns with the suffixes, and use each in a sentence about wildlife. 2. Write a short paragraph (5 - 8 sentences) about “Why Wildlife Protection Matters” using at least 3 newly - formed nouns. IV. Blackboard Design A. Word - Building Suffixes Suffix Rule (with examples) -ing Verb → Noun (e.g., mean → meaning; shop → shopping (double consonant)) -ness Adjective → Noun (e.g., ill → illness; happy → happiness (y→i)) -ion Verb → Noun (e.g., act → action; decide → decision (e→sion)) B. Key Conversions (from practice) · express → expression · celebrate → celebration · hunt → hunting · happy → happiness · invite → invitation This plan integrates vocabulary building with a wildlife - protection context, making learning relevant and engaging, while focusing on mastering suffix rules and their application. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
