Unit 1 Asia Reading 教学设计 I. Teaching Objectives Guide students to understand the two articles about Beijing and Guilin, mastering key vocabulary and sentence patterns related to introducing cities in Asia. Develop students’ reading skills, including skimming for main ideas, scanning for specific information, and analyzing text structure to extract details about city attractions, histories, and features. Enhance cultural awareness of Chinese cities (Beijing and Guilin), enabling students to describe and compare Asian cities using the learned content, and prepare for 中考 reading comprehension requirements. II. Language Knowledge 1. Key words & phrases Nouns: emperor, attraction, wonder, cave, dynasty, museum, palace, raising, landscape, countryside Phrases: be worth a visit, next to, in the north - west of, run across, hire a bicycle, lie on, in unusual shapes Expressions: “East or west, Guilin landscape is best.”, “It is one of the wonders of the world.” 2. Key sentences “In the middle of the ancient city of Beijing is the Palace Museum, also called the Forbidden City.” (Inverted sentence structure) “It runs for over 6,000 kilometres across northern China, with watchtowers every few hundred metres.” (Describing the Great Wall) “Many visitors come and visit Guilin because of its fantastic landscape.” (Reasons for Guilin’s popularity) 3. Key and challenging points Reading Skills: Skimming to get the main idea of each article; scanning to find specific details (e.g., attractions in Beijing/Guilin, their features). Language Points: Understanding inverted sentences, correctly using prepositional phrases to describe locations, and mastering vocabulary related to city descriptions. Cultural Connection: Grasping the cultural and historical significance of Beijing’s landmarks (Palace Museum, Great Wall, etc.) and the natural beauty of Guilin, to communicate about Asian cities effectively. III. Teaching Procedures Step 1: Lead - in & Warming - up (5 minutes) Show pictures of famous Asian cities’ landmarks (e.g., the Great Wall, West Lake, Taj Mahal briefly mentioned as Asian wonders). Ask students: “What Asian cities do you know? What are their famous places?” Introduce the topic: “Today we’ll read two articles about Chinese cities—Beijing and Guilin, learning how to introduce cities in Asia.” Step 2: Pre - reading (8 minutes) Vocabulary Preview: Present key words (emperor, attraction, wonder, etc.) from the articles. Use pictures, definitions, or simple example sentences to explain. For example, “An emperor is a ruler of an empire, like ancient Chinese emperors in the Palace Museum.” Do B1 exercise (matching words with meanings) quickly as a class to check understanding. Prediction: Show the titles “Welcome to Beijing!” and “All about Guilin”. Ask students to predict what content the articles might include (e.g., attractions, food, people, etc.). Step 3: While - reading (18 minutes) Skimming (5 minutes): Students read the two articles quickly. Ask them to find the main idea of each: “What’s the main purpose of each article? (To introduce Beijing/Guilin’s attractions and features)” Check answers: “‘Welcome to Beijing!’ introduces Beijing’s key landmarks like the Palace Museum, Tian’anmen Square...; ‘All about Guilin’ focuses on Guilin’s landscape and attractions like Reed Flute Cave.” Scanning (10 minutes): For “Welcome to Beijing!”, design questions: What’s another name for the Palace Museum? (Forbidden City) Which square is next to the Palace Museum? (Tian’anmen Square) What was the Summer Palace used for? (For emperors to spend the summer) How long is the Great Wall? (Over 6,000 kilometres) For “All about Guilin”, ask: Why is Guilin famous? (For its fantastic landscape) Where is the Reed Flute Cave? (In the north - west of Guilin) What activities can people do in Guilin? (Take a boat trip, hire a bicycle) Students scan the articles to find answers, then check in pairs and share with the class. Text Structure Analysis (3 minutes): Analyze how the articles are organized: “Both articles introduce cities by talking about their famous attractions, including locations, histories, and visitor activities. This helps us learn to structure city - introduction texts.” Step 4: Post - reading (12 minutes) Discussion & Culture Sharing (6 minutes): Ask students: “Which city would you like to visit more? Why? What other Asian cities’ attractions do you know that can be introduced in this way?” Encourage sharing knowledge about other Asian cities (e.g., Xi’an with Terracotta Army, Tokyo with Tokyo Tower), connecting to cultural communication. Exercise Practice (6 minutes): Do B2 (completing conversation about Beijing) and B3 (true or false about Guilin) as a class or in pairs. Check answers and explain any mistakes, focusing on language use (e.g., tenses, prepositions). Step 5: Summary & Homework (2 minutes) Summary (1 minute): Recap what’s learned: key attractions of Beijing and Guilin, vocabulary for city introduction, reading skills (skimming, scanning). Emphasize how to use the text structure and language to describe Asian cities, preparing for 中考 - style reading and writing. Homework (1 minute): Ask students to write a short passage (80 - 100 words) introducing an Asian city they know (can be Chinese or foreign in Asia), using the structure and vocabulary from the lesson. Preview the next part of Unit 1, noting down new words. IV. Assessment of Teaching Effectiveness Formative Assessment: Observe students’ participation in pre - reading, while - reading, and post - reading activities (vocabulary matching, scanning answers, discussion). Check B1 - B3 exercise completion for understanding of key language points. Summative Assessment (for later): Evaluate students’ homework passages for: correct use of city - introduction structure, vocabulary accuracy, and clarity in describing attractions. V. Design Purpose Skill - Focused: Develops essential reading skills (skimming, scanning) required for 中考，helping students extract information efficiently. Content - Integrated: Combines language learning with cultural knowledge of Asian cities, making the lesson meaningful and relatable to real - life communication and exam topics. Step - by - Step: From vocabulary preview to text analysis, the steps build students’ confidence in understanding and using the reading material, preparing them for higher - level language tasks. VI.
