Unit 1 Past and present Study skills 教学设计 I. Teaching Objectives 1. Knowledge Objectives Students will distinguish between facts (F) and opinions (O), mastering their definitions and identifying signal words (e.g., believe, think, good, beautiful). Students will learn to organize facts and opinions in writing to support ideas. 2. Ability Objectives Improve critical reading skills by classifying sentences as facts or opinions. Enhance writing skills by structuring a passage with facts to support opinions. 3. Affective Objectives Foster critical thinking about information, encouraging students to question and verify statements. Encourage clear communication by separating factual information from personal views. II. Language Knowledge 1. Key Words & Phrases Facts: true statements (names, dates, events, numbers); Opinions: personal beliefs/feelings (signal words: believe, think, good, beautiful); Expressions: “Facts are..., Opinions tell what we believe...” 2. Key Sentences “Facts are true statements. They include names, dates, events and numbers. Opinions tell what we believe, feel or think. They may not be true.” “Beijing is the capital of China. (Fact) Beijing is the best city in the world. (Opinion)” 3. Key and Challenging Points Key Points: Define and identify facts vs. opinions; use facts to support opinions. Challenging Points: Recognizing subtle opinions (e.g., “looks beautiful”); structuring a logical fact - opinion passage. III. Teaching Procedures (Total Duration: 45 Minutes) Step 1 Introduction to Facts & Opinions (8 Minutes) Show examples (e.g., “Beijing is the capital (F)” vs. “Beijing is best (O)”) and ask: “What’s the difference? How can we tell?” Introduce the topic: “Today, we’ll learn to spot facts and opinions—critical for reading and writing about past - present changes!” Step 2 Definition & Practice (12 Minutes) Rule Presentation: Explain facts (provable, objective) and opinions (subjective, personal). Highlight signal words (e.g., believe, think, good, beautiful). Use unit - related examples (e.g., “Many changes in Sunshine Town (F)” vs. “New park is beautiful (O)”). Practice—Activity A: Students classify sentences (Activity A) as F or O. Walk around to clarify signal words (e.g., “looks beautiful” → opinion). Step 3 Organizing Facts & Opinions (15 Minutes) Task—Activity B: Students sort Millie’s sentences into facts and opinions (Activity B). Discuss how facts support opinions: “Opinion: It is not easy to get used to changes... Fact: I have to spend more time on homework...” Writing Practice: Guide students to write a short passage: State an opinion about hometown changes, then support with 2–3 facts. Example: “Opinion: My hometown is better now. Facts: New park built, transport improved.” Step 4 Application & Summary (10 Minutes) Class Discussion: Share student passages, evaluating fact - opinion support. Summary: Recap facts (provable) vs. opinions (subjective), and their role in persuasive writing. Step 5 Homework (5 Minutes) Reading: Find 3 facts and 2 opinions in a news article about changes. Writing: Write a paragraph about a personal change, using 2 facts to support 1 opinion. IV. Assessment of Teaching Effectiveness Check Activity A answers for accurate fact - opinion classification. Evaluate Activity B sorting and student passages for logical fact - opinion structure. V. Design Purpose Introduction: Use relatable examples to clarify fact - opinion difference. Practice: Classify sentences to build recognition skills. Application: Organize and write with facts/opinions, linking to unit’s change theme. VI. Blackboard Design Unit 1 Study skills—Facts & Opinions Definitions: - Fact (F): True, provable (dates, events, numbers) - Opinion (O): Personal belief/feeling (signal words: believe, think, good, beautiful) How to Use: Opinions need facts for support! Homework: Find facts/opinions in news! VII. Teaching Reflection Strengths: Clear definitions and practice build critical thinking. Weaknesses: Subtle opinions (e.g., “looks beautiful”) may confuse students. Improvements: Add a “fact - opinion hunt” game: In pairs, find 3 facts and 2 opinions in a short text. This reinforces recognition in context. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
