Unit 4 Growing up Grammar 教学设计
I. Teaching Objectives
1. Knowledge Objectives
Students will master time conjunctions: before, after, when, while, since, till, until, as soon as, whenever and their correct usage in time clauses.
Students will understand how to form sentences with these conjunctions, focusing on word order and tense agreement.
2. Ability Objectives
Improve grammar application skills by combining sentences and completing passages with time conjunctions.
Enhance writing skills by using time conjunctions to describe sequences of events (e.g., daily routines, dreams).
3. Affective Objectives
Strengthen awareness of time relationships in language, fostering precision in expression.
Encourage storytelling about personal experiences (e.g., basketball dreams) using time conjunctions.
II. Language Knowledge
1. Key Words & Phrases
Time conjunctions: before, after, when, while, since, till, until, as soon as, whenever
Sentence structures: Main clause + time clause (e.g., “He practised basketball while attending junior high.”)
2. Key Sentences
“Before the NBA took notice, he played in another league.”
“Since I first met you, you’ve been happy.”
“As soon as school is over, David plays basketball.”
3. Key and Challenging Points
Key Points: Correctly using each conjunction to show time relationships; matching tenses in main and time clauses.
Challenging Points: Distinguishing between similar conjunctions (e.g., till/until); applying conjunctions to complex event sequences.
III. Teaching Procedures (Total Duration: 45 Minutes)
Step 1 Lead - in (6 Minutes)
Show a timeline of Spud Webb’s key events (e.g., born, joined NBA) and ask: “How can we connect these events with words like ‘before’, ‘after’?”
Introduce: “Today, we’ll learn time conjunctions to link events—perfect for telling stories about growing up!”
Step 2 Conjunction Explanation (12 Minutes)
Group A: before, after, when, while (6 Minutes)
Definitions & Examples:
before: earlier than (e.g., “He played in a league before joining the NBA.”)
after: later than (e.g., “After graduating, he played professionally.”)
when: at a time (e.g., “When he got the chance, he scored 20 points.”)
while: during (e.g., “While in junior high, he tried out for the team.”)
Tense Focus: Explain that while often uses continuous tenses.
Group B: since, till, until (6 Minutes)
Definitions & Examples:
since: from a point in time (present perfect, e.g., “He’s been happy since I met him.”)
till/until: up to a point (e.g., “He played till the NBA noticed him.”)
Formal/Informal: Note till is more informal than until.
Step 3 Practice: Combine & Complete (15 Minutes)
Part A & B (10 Minutes)
Students complete Part A (combining sentences with before, after, when, while) and Part B (using since, till, until).
Guide: Check tense agreement (e.g., “since” + past → present perfect).
Create Your Own (5 Minutes)
Students write 3 sentences about their daily routine using these conjunctions (e.g., “After school, I play basketball while waiting for dinner.”).
Step 4 Extension: as soon as, whenever (8 Minutes)
Explanation & Practice (5 Minutes)
Definitions:
as soon as: immediately after (e.g., “As soon as school ends, he plays.”)
whenever: at any time (e.g., “Whenever there’s a game, he watches.”)
Part C Practice: Students complete Simon’s sentences with as soon as/whenever.
Story Writing (3 Minutes)
Students use as soon as/whenever to write a short basketball - themed story (e.g., “Whenever he hears a game, he gets excited. As soon as he can, he plays.”).
Step 5 Integration: Uncle’s Dream (4 Minutes)
Part C2 (3 Minutes)
Students help David complete his uncle’s story with all time conjunctions, reviewing usage.
Share & Correct (1 Minute)
Volunteer reads the story, class checks conjunction accuracy.
Step 6 Summary & Homework (4 Minutes)
Summary (2 Minutes): Recap all time conjunctions, their meanings, and tense rules.
Homework (2 Minutes):
Write a diary entry about a “growing up” event (e.g., learning a skill) using at least 4 time conjunctions.
IV. Assessment of Teaching Effectiveness
Check Part A - C for correct conjunction use and tense agreement.
Evaluate creative sentences/stories for appropriate conjunction application.
Assess homework for varied conjunction use and clear event sequencing.
V. Design Purpose
Lead - in: Connect to unit theme (Spud Webb) to contextualize conjunctions.
Explanation: Group conjunctions for clarity; focus on tense to avoid errors.
Practice: Progressive tasks (combine→create→integrate) build skill mastery.
VI. Blackboard Design
Unit 4 Grammar — Time Conjunctions
Group A (Order): before, after, when, while
Group B (Duration): since, till/until
Group C (Timing): as soon as, whenever
Tense Tips:
- since → present perfect
- while → continuous tenses
Homework: Diary entry with 4 conjunctions!
VII. Teaching Reflection
Strengths: Clear grouping of conjunctions; practice links to unit themes (basketball, growing up).
Weaknesses: Some students may confuse when/while in complex sentences.
Improvements: Add a “Conjunction Sort” game: Give sentences, have students sort by conjunction type.
