Key Sentences “You can visit Asia, Africa, Europe, America and more in only eight hours.” (comma usage) “How does UNICEF help?” (question mark usage) “I’m proud to help people see again,” says Dr Ma. (quotation marks usage) 3. Key and Challenging Points Key Points: Understanding the specific usage of each punctuation mark. Challenging Points: Correctly applying punctuation in complex sentences (e.g., separating phrases, using quotation marks for direct speech). III. Teaching Procedures (Total Duration: 45 Minutes) Step 1 Lead - in (5 Minutes) Write a run - on sentence about a charity event (e.g., “A charity show was held last week many people came to support it was very successful”). Ask: “How can we make this sentence clear? What’s missing?” (punctuation) Introduce: “Today, we’ll learn to use punctuation marks to make our writing about charities clear and correct!” Step 2 Punctuation Explanation (15 Minutes) Comma (,): Usage: Separate words in a list, phrases, or clauses. Example: “You can visit Asia, Africa, Europe, America and more in only eight hours.” (list); “You can use a computer for sending and receiving emails, searching for information, drawing or playing games.” (phrases). Full Stop (.): Usage: End a sentence (not a question/exclamation). Example: “The 12th Special Olympics World Games were held in Shanghai in 2007.” Question Mark (?): Usage: End a direct question. Example: “How does UNICEF help?” Exclamation Mark (!): Usage: Express strong feelings (surprise, joy, anger). Example: “He was the same size as my little finger!” Quotation Marks (“ ”): Usage: Enclose direct speech. Example: “I’m proud to help people see again,” says Dr Ma. Step 3 Practice: Adding Punctuation (15 Minutes) Part A: Charity Show Text (10 Minutes) Students work on Millie’s charity show text (Part A), adding correct punctuation marks. Walk around to guide (e.g., commas in lists: “The big day came very quickly, and suddenly it was the night before the charity show.”; quotation marks if needed). Error Correction (5 Minutes): Share a sample of the text with common errors. Students identify and correct punctuation mistakes as a class. Step 4 Application: Write a Charity - themed Paragraph (8 Minutes) Assign: “Write a short paragraph about a charity activity (e.g., a fundraiser, volunteer work). Use at least 3 different punctuation marks correctly.” Students write individually; then share and peer - edit for punctuation. Step 5 Summary & Homework (2 Minutes) Summary (1 Minute): Recap key punctuation marks and their uses. Homework (1 Minute): Edit a personal writing piece (e.g., a diary entry about helping others) for punctuation errors. IV. Assessment of Teaching Effectiveness Check students’ completion of Millie’s charity show text for correct punctuation. Evaluate the charity - themed paragraphs for accurate and varied punctuation use. Assess homework edits for improved punctuation in personal writing. V. Design Purpose Lead - in: Highlight the need for punctuation using a messy sentence. Explanation: Clear rules + examples make punctuation accessible. Practice: Apply skills to a charity - themed text for relevance. Application: Encourage independent writing with punctuation focus. VI. Blackboard Design Unit 7 Study skills — Using punctuation marks Key Marks & Uses: - Comma (,) → Separate lists, phrases (e.g., charity, event, people) - Full Stop (.) → End sentences (e.g., The charity event was successful.) - Question Mark (?) → End questions (e.g., How to help more?) - Exclamation Mark (!) → Show strong feelings (e.g., What a great charity show!) - Quotation Marks (“ ”) → Enclose direct speech (e.g., “Let’s help!”, says Amy) Homework: Edit personal writing for punctuation! VII. Teaching Reflection Strengths: Charity - themed practice keeps learning relevant; step - by - step explanation builds confidence. Weaknesses: Some students may struggle with complex clause separation using commas. Improvements: Add a “Punctuation Sort” game: Give sentences with mixed marks, have students categorize by punctuation type. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
