Students will be able to use useful expressions for writing (e.g., ... need our help; We must do something to help). 2. Ability Objectives Improve writing skills by organizing ideas and drafting a help - asking letter. Enhance collaborative skills through pair discussions about helping people in need. 3. Affective Objectives Strengthen social responsibility by learning to call for help for those in need. Foster empathy by discussing and addressing different people’s difficulties. II. Language Knowledge 1. Key Words & Phrases Nouns: help, disease, area, survivor, operation Verbs: donate, save, need, support Phrases: give a helping hand, in need, many hands make light work 2. Key Sentences “A Grade 9 student at No. 2 Middle School needs our help!” “An operation may save him, but it will cost over 300,000 yuan.” “Many hands make light work. If all of us can give a helping hand, he may get well again soon.” 3. Key and Challenging Points Key Points: Structuring a help - asking letter; using useful expressions appropriately. Challenging Points: Conveying urgency and empathy in writing; personalizing content for different helping scenarios. III. Teaching Procedures (Total Duration: 45 Minutes) Step 1 Lead - in (6 Minutes) Show the title “Giving a helping hand” and ask: “Who needs help in our society? (e.g., people with diseases, poor areas)” List examples on the board (from the “Someone with a serious disease...” notes). Introduce the task: “Today, we’ll learn to write a letter to ask for help for people in need—just like Peter did!” Step 2 Analyze the Letter Structure (12 Minutes) Introduction (4 Minutes): Read Peter’s letter (Part B) and highlight: “A Grade 9 student at No. 2 Middle School needs our help!” Explain: “Start with who needs help—grab readers’ attention!” Main Body (5 Minutes): Identify details: “What’s the problem? What help do they need?” (e.g., Xiao Wei’s disease, cost of operation). Explain: “Include facts to show why help is needed—make it persuasive!” Conclusion (3 Minutes): Point out: “Many hands make light work... Thanks a lot for your help!” Explain: “End with a call to action and gratitude—encourage people to help!” Step 3 Useful Expressions Practice (10 Minutes) Present “Useful expressions” (e.g., ... need our help; We must do something to help). In pairs, students practice rewriting Peter’s sentences with these expressions (e.g., “An operation may save him, but it will cost over 300,000 yuan” → “It will cost over 300,000 yuan to save him with an operation”). Share examples and correct usage as a class. Step 4 Drafting a Help - Asking Letter (10 Minutes) Assign Part D: “Write a letter to ask for help.” Students choose a group in need (e.g., earthquake survivors) and plan their letter using Peter’s model. Walk around to assist with structure and vocabulary (e.g., “How to describe their situation clearly?”). Step 5 Pair Discussion & Self - Assessment (7 Minutes) Pair Discussion (4 Minutes): Do Part C: “Discuss who you want to help and what you can do.” Students share ideas (e.g., “Help children without parents by donating books”). Self - Assessment (3 Minutes): Guide students to use the “Self - assessment” table (e.g., check if they can organize ideas, use new words). Ask volunteers to share their self - evaluation results. IV. Assessment of Teaching Effectiveness Check letter drafts for correct structure (introduction, main body, conclusion) and use of key expressions. Evaluate pair discussions for creativity and relevance in helping ideas. Assess self - assessments for students’ awareness of their learning progress. V. Design Purpose Lead - in: Connect to real - life needs to inspire empathy. Structure Analysis: Break down the letter into parts for clear writing guidance. Practice & Drafting: Apply knowledge step - by - step, from expressions to full letters. Discussion & Self - Assessment: Encourage collaboration and reflection. VI. Blackboard Design Unit 6 Task — Giving a helping hand Letter Structure: 1. Introduction → Who needs help? 2. Main Body → Problem + Needed help 3. Conclusion → Call to action + Thanks Useful Expressions: ... need our help; We must do something to help Homework: Polish your help - asking letter! VII. Teaching Reflection Strengths: Clear structure analysis helps students plan writing; pair work promotes collaboration. Weaknesses: Some students may struggle to personalize content beyond the model letter. Improvements: Add a “creative twist” task: “Add one unique idea to your letter (e.g., a fundraising event) to make it stand out.” 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
