Unit 1 Know yourself Task 教学设计 2025-2026学年译林版九年级（2012）九年级英语上册

Unit 1 Know yourself Task 教学设计 I. Teaching Objectives 1. Knowledge Objectives Students will master expressions for writing a formal recommendation letter (e.g., recommend... as, strong qualities, suitable person). Students will understand how to organize a recommendation letter using a spidergram (confident, hard - working, creative, etc.). 2. Ability Objectives Improve writing skills by drafting a formal recommendation letter for a classmate, using Millie and Simon’s model. Enhance planning skills by organizing ideas with a spidergram before writing. 3. Affective Objectives Foster teamwork and appreciation for classmates’ positive qualities. Develop a sense of responsibility in writing persuasive, well - structured recommendations. II. Language Knowledge 1. Key Words & Phrases Recommendation - related: recommend, strong qualities, suitable, position, confident, hard - working, creative, helpful, organized Phrases: make a speech, come up with good ideas, do extra work, help with lessons 2. Key Sentences “We are writing to recommend... as our new monitor. We think he has many strong qualities for this position.” “He is very confident. He thinks he can do anything if he tries his best.” 3. Key and Challenging Points Key Points: Structuring a formal recommendation letter (introduction, qualities, conclusion); using descriptive adjectives. Challenging Points: Making the letter persuasive by linking qualities to the position (monitor); varying sentence structures. III. Teaching Procedures (Total Duration: 45 Minutes) Step 1 Lead - in (6 Minutes) Ask: “What qualities do you think a good class monitor needs? (e.g., responsible, organized)” Share a model: “A monitor should be confident to speak in front of the class, hard - working to help with tasks.” Introduce: “Today, we’ll learn to write a formal recommendation letter—let’s practice recommending a classmate!” Step 2 Analyze the Spidergram & Model Letter (12 Minutes) Spidergram Analysis (6 Minutes): Look at Dai Wei’s spidergram. Identify qualities: confident, hard - working, creative, helpful, organized. Discuss how each quality fits a monitor’s role (e.g., “Confident → can lead class discussions; Organized → keeps track of tasks”). Model Letter Analysis (6 Minutes): Read Millie and Simon’s letter to Mr Wu. Match parts to the spidergram: Introduction: State purpose (recommend Dai Wei). Qualities: Explain each quality with examples (e.g., “hard - working → does extra work after class”). Conclusion: Request agreement. Step 3 Plan Your Recommendation (15 Minutes) Choose a Classmate & Qualities (8 Minutes): Students pick a classmate to recommend (e.g., for monitor, group leader). Create a spidergram: List the classmate’s qualities (use adjectives from the unit: confident, creative, etc.) and examples (e.g., “creative → designed a class poster”). Organize the Letter (7 Minutes): Outline the letter using the model: Introduction: “We are writing to recommend... as...” Qualities: Explain 3 - 4 qualities with examples. Conclusion: “We think... is the most suitable. We hope you agree.” Step 4 Draft the Recommendation Letter (8 Minutes) Students write the letter, using useful expressions (e.g., “has many strong qualities, always/often...”, “is very... and...”). Walk around to assist with structure (e.g., “Link each quality to the position: ‘She’s organized, so she can manage class files’”). Step 5 Self - Assessment & Peer Feedback (4 Minutes) Self - Assessment (2 Minutes): Use the “Self - assessment” table to check: Did you use qualities, conjunctions, and a clear structure? Peer Feedback (2 Minutes): Swap letters with a partner. Give feedback: “I like how you explained ‘hard - working’ with examples. Can you add a creative quality?” Step 6 Summary & Homework (0 Minutes, Integrated in Above) Summary: Recap the letter structure (introduction - qualities - conclusion) and the power of positive recommendations. Homework: Polish the recommendation letter and share it with the recommended classmate. IV. Assessment of Teaching Effectiveness Check spidergrams for clear quality - position links. Evaluate draft letters for structure, descriptive language, and persuasive examples. Assess self - assessment and peer feedback for awareness of strengths/improvements. V. Design Purpose Lead - in: Connect to real - class roles (monitor) to show recommendation relevance. Analysis: Break down model to learn letter structure and quality - linking. Planning & Drafting: Apply knowledge to write personalized letters, with spidergram support. Assessment: Encourage reflection and peer learning for better writing. VI. Blackboard Design Unit 1 Task — Formal Recommendation Letter Structure: 1. Introduction: Recommend... as... 2. Qualities: Confident, hard - working... + examples 3. Conclusion: Most suitable, hope agree Useful Expressions: - has many strong qualities for... - is very... and never... - We think... is the most suitable. Homework: Polish your recommendation letter! VII. Teaching Reflection Strengths: Spidergram planning organizes ideas; model letter provides clear structure. Weaknesses: Some students may struggle to find unique examples for qualities. Improvements: Add a “Quality - Example Brainstorm” activity: List 5 qualities and 2 examples each as a class, for reference. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
