Unit 1 Developing ideas 2 Reading for writing 课件 -2025-2026学年外研版（2024）七年级英语上册

该初中英语课件围绕“新开始”主题，通过Mia父母的信件阅读，引导学生理解小学与初中的对比，学习核心词汇（如protect...from, try your best）及表达，并完成回信写作。课堂导入采用预测活动（纸船象征意义）与对话情境（Mia与父母交流）搭建支架，助力从理解到表达的过渡。 其亮点在于融合语言能力与思维品质，以“小学如小池、初中如河流”的比喻引导学生分析对比，任务链（预测-阅读-分析-写作）培养逻辑思维；学习能力方面，嵌入查字典步骤、思维导图梳理信件结构，助力自主学习。多样化活动（翻译、填空、自评）巩固语言知识，结构化写作指导（分步骤完成回信）提升表达能力。学生能在真实情境中运用语言，教师可直接使用完整教学流程，高效开展教学。
