Unit 7 Films Study skills 教学设计
I. Teaching Objectives
1. Knowledge Objectives
Students will master skills to read plays effectively, including identifying structural elements (acts, scenes, setting, characters, stage directions, dialogue).
Students will understand how each play element (setting, characters’ actions/speech) contributes to the story.
2. Ability Objectives
Improve reading comprehension by using play - specific structural analysis to grasp content.
Enhance information extraction by identifying key elements (setting, characters, actions, dialogue purpose) in play excerpts.
3. Affective Objectives
Foster interest in drama and play - reading as a form of literature.
Build confidence in independently navigating play texts for understanding and enjoyment.
II. Language Knowledge
1. Key Words & Phrases
Play - related: act, scene, setting, characters, stage directions, dialogue
Structural elements: where, when, what characters do/say
2. Key Sentences
“A play has several parts not found in other kinds of literature. Most plays have three to five acts. Each act is divided into ‘scenes’.”
“Words in brackets tell what the characters are doing and how the characters are acting or speaking.”
3. Key and Challenging Points
Key Points: Identifying play structure elements (acts, scenes, setting, stage directions); using them to understand the story.
Challenging Points: Interpreting stage directions to grasp characters’ actions and emotions; analyzing dialogue for meaning.
III. Teaching Procedures (Total Duration: 45 Minutes)
Step 1 Lead - in (6 Minutes)
Show a short video clip of a play performance (e.g., a scene from Romeo and Juliet) and ask: “What makes a play different from a film or a novel? How do you think a play script looks?”
Introduce: “Today, we’ll learn skills to read plays—understanding their structure and elements to enjoy the story!”
Step 2 Play Structure Explanation (12 Minutes)
Element Breakdown (8 Minutes)
Explain play parts: acts, scenes, setting (when/where), characters, stage directions (in brackets), dialogue.
Use the provided play excerpt to label each element: e.g., “Act 2, Scene 1”; setting: “Garden behind a house... July”; stage directions: “[Coming over very slowly]”; dialogue: “But I don’t like German...”
Discussion (4 Minutes)
Discuss: “Why are stage directions important? How do they help us visualize the play?”
Step 3 Play Reading Practice (15 Minutes)
Excerpt Analysis (10 Minutes)
Students read the Act 2, Scene 1 excerpt and answer questions about setting, time, characters’ actions, and dialogue purpose.
Guide: Use play elements to find answers (e.g., setting from the first paragraph; Cecily’s action from stage directions).
Verification (5 Minutes)
Compare answers in pairs, discussing how play elements support understanding.
Step 4 Apply to New Play Excerpts (8 Minutes)
Provide another short play excerpt (e.g., a comedy or drama scene).
Students identify play elements (acts, scenes, setting, stage directions, dialogue) and summarize what happens.
Step 5 Summary & Homework (4 Minutes)
Summary (2 Minutes): Recap play structure elements and how they aid reading comprehension.
Homework (2 Minutes):
Find a short play excerpt online. Identify its structural elements and write a 3 - sentence summary of what happens.
IV. Assessment of Teaching Effectiveness
Check question answers for accurate play element identification and understanding.
Evaluate new play excerpt analysis for proper element recognition and summary.
Assess homework for correct application of play - reading skills.
V. Design Purpose
Lead - in: Connect to play performances to introduce script - reading skills.
Explanation: Clear breakdown of play elements with examples for easy grasp.
Practice: Apply to unit - related play excerpt to reinforce skills.
Application: Extend to new texts, promoting independent play reading.
VI. Blackboard Design
Unit 7 Study skills — Reading Plays
Play Elements:
1. Acts & Scenes: organize the story
2. Setting: when & where
3. Characters: who’s in the scene
4. Stage Directions: what characters do (in brackets)
5. Dialogue: what characters say
Homework: Analyze a play excerpt!
VII. Teaching Reflection
Strengths: Using play performance to engage; clear element breakdown helps comprehension.
Weaknesses: Some students may struggle with interpreting subtle stage directions.
Improvements: Add a “Play Performance” activity: Have students act out the excerpt, focusing on stage directions, then discuss interpretations.
