Unit 5 Here and Now-Section B 2a-2b This section is from Unit 5 "Here and Now" of the 2024 edition of the People's Education Press English textbook for Grade 7. It focuses on the present continuous tense. The 2a part shows a series of pictures of people doing different activities in the park, aiming to activate students' prior knowledge and get them to describe the activities using the present continuous tense. The 2b part requires students to write a video script by describing what is happening in the park, which further consolidates students' use of the present continuous tense and improves their writing ability. 教学目标 Students will be able to accurately describe activities happening in a park using the present continuous tense in both speaking and writing. They can write a clear and coherent video script about what is happening in a certain place, organizing ideas and expressing themselves in a logical way. 教学重难点 1 Teaching Key Points The correct usage of the present continuous tense to describe ongoing actions.

Then play a short video about people doing various activities in a park, such as rowing boats, flying kites, and having picnics. After watching the video, ask students some simple questions: "What can you see in the video? What are people doing in the park?" Encourage students to answer in English, and write down some of the key words they mention on the blackboard, like "row a boat", "fly a kite", "have a picnic". This step aims to quickly arouse students' interest and lead them into the topic of this class. 2 Pre - reading (8 minutes) Show the pictures in 2a on the screen. Divide students into pairs and ask them to describe what the people in the pictures are doing using the present continuous tense. For example, "Two people are rowing a boat on the lake." "A boy and a girl are riding a bike." Walk around the classroom to monitor students' conversations. After a few minutes, invite several pairs of students to stand up and share their descriptions with the whole class. Other students listen carefully and can ask questions or make comments if they have any. This activity helps students review the present continuous tense and get familiar with the vocabulary related to park activities. 3 While - reading (15 minutes) First, let students read the passage in 2b silently for the first time. Then ask them some general questions, such as "What time is it now? Where is the writer?" This helps students get a general understanding of the text. For the second reading, ask students to read the text carefully and complete a table on the blackboard. The table includes columns like "People" and "Activities". Students need to find out what different people are doing in the park according to the text. After students finish, ask them to work in groups of four to discuss their answers. Each group chooses a representative to come to the blackboard and fill in the table. Check the answers together as a class, and correct any mistakes. This reading activity trains students' ability to extract detailed information from the text. 4 Language Point Explanation (10 minutes) Write some sentences from the text on the blackboard, such as "Look, the sun is shining!" "They are having a great time." Pick out the new words and phrases and explain their meanings and usages. For the present continuous tense, give more examples to illustrate its different sentence patterns. For example, make a negative sentence: "The boy is not playing basketball. He is playing football." And a general interrogative sentence: "Is she reading a book? No, she is writing a letter." Also, teach students how to form special interrogative sentences, like "What are they doing?" "Where are they having a picnic?" Encourage students to make their own sentences using the new words and the present continuous tense. Ask them to share their sentences with their partners first, and then invite some students to share with the whole class. 5 Post - reading (Writing) (5 minutes) Guide students to write a video script about what is happening in another park or a place they are familiar with, like a school playground or a shopping mall. Remind them to use the present continuous tense, the new words they have learned, and follow a certain order, such as from left to right or from near to far. Give students a few minutes to write. After they finish, ask them to exchange their scripts with their deskmates and check for grammar mistakes, spelling mistakes, and whether the description is clear. Then ask some students to read their scripts aloud in class. 6 Summary and Homework (2 minutes) Summarize the key points of this class briefly, including new vocabulary, the usage of the present continuous tense, and how to write a simple video script. Assign homework: Ask students to write a more detailed video script about a place they like, and they can add some personal feelings or comments. They can also draw some pictures to match their scripts if they want. 教学反思 In this class, through various activities such as watching videos, pair work, reading, and writing, students were actively involved in learning. The warm - up video effectively attracted students' attention and quickly introduced the topic. However, during the pair work in the pre - reading part, some students were a bit shy and did not actively communicate with their partners. In the future, more encouragement and guidance should be given to these students to make them more involved. When explaining the language points, most students could understand the usage of new words and the present continuous tense. But when students were making their own sentences, some still made mistakes in the form of the present continuous tense, especially in the use of "be" verbs. This indicates that more practice and drills are needed in subsequent classes. Regarding the writing part, students showed different levels of writing ability. Some students could write a clear and vivid video script, while some students had difficulty organizing their ideas and expressing themselves accurately. In the future, more writing guidance and model examples can be provided to help students improve their writing skills. 2 / 37 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
