Unit 3 Robots Welcome to the unit 教学设计 I. Teaching Objectives Enable students to understand how robots can help humans by matching phrases with pictures and discussing robot functions. Develop students’ speaking skills through role - play, using the model conversation to express ideas about robot assistance in daily life. Enhance students’ awareness of robot applications, inspiring them to think about future robot - human interactions and prepare for exam - related topics about technology and innovation. II. Language Knowledge 1. Key Vocabulary Robot - related: homework, outer space, dangerous jobs, housework Verbs: help with, explore, do, assist 2. Key Sentence Patterns “Do you know how robots could help us? Match each phrase with the correct picture.” “Would robots have brains in the future, Daniel? Yes, they would. So they could do whatever they’re asked to.” “How could robots help us? They could do dangerous jobs like putting out fires or working on high buildings.” 3. Key and Challenging Points Phrase - Picture Matching: Correctly associating robot functions with corresponding pictures. Oral Discussion: Expressing ideas about robot assistance using the model conversation, which is relevant to exam - related speaking tasks about technology. Idea Generation: Thinking of various ways robots can help in daily life, expanding knowledge of robot applications. III. Teaching Procedures Step 1: Lead - in & Warm - up (5 minutes) Show a video or pictures of different robots (e.g., cleaning robots, space robots) and ask students: “What can robots do? How can they help us?” Introduce the topic: “Today we’ll start Unit 3 about robots. We’ll learn how robots can assist humans and practice discussing their functions.” Step 2: Phrase - Picture Matching (8 minutes) Vocabulary Introduction: Teach the phrases: help with homework, explore outer space, do dangerous jobs, help with housework. Write them on the board with simple definitions and examples. For example: “Help with housework: robots can clean the house, wash dishes, etc.” Completing Part A: Have students do Part A: match each phrase with the correct picture. Walk around to help with vocabulary understanding. Check answers as a class, discussing why each phrase matches a certain picture: Picture 1: help with housework (d) Picture 2: do dangerous jobs (c) Picture 3: help with homework (a) Picture 4: explore outer space (b) Step 3: Role - play & Discussion (12 minutes) Model Conversation Analysis: Present the model conversation in Part B. Read it with students, explaining key questions and responses: “Would robots have brains in the future? How could robots help us?” Highlight sentence patterns for discussion: “Would...? Yes, they would. How could...? They could...”. Pair Work: Students work in pairs to practice the model conversation and then discuss more ways robots can help in daily life. Encourage them to use the sentence patterns and add their own ideas. For example: “Robots could help us cook meals.” “They could take care of the elderly.” Walk around to monitor, correct pronunciation, and encourage creative ideas. Class Sharing: Invite several pairs to perform their conversations in front of the class. Comment on their ideas and language use, emphasizing fluency and creativity. Step 4: Idea Expansion & Future Thinking (10 minutes) Group Discussion: Divide students into groups and ask them to discuss: “What other jobs do you think robots will do in the future? How will robots change our lives?” Provide guiding questions to help generate ideas: “Will robots help in education? In medicine? How?” Report Back: Each group presents their ideas to the class. Encourage students to use new vocabulary and sentence patterns. For example: “We think robots will help teach students in the future. They could explain difficult knowledge.” Step 5: Summary & Homework (5 minutes) Summary (2 minutes): Recap the key points: robot functions (help with housework, homework, dangerous jobs, explore outer space), model conversation, and future robot ideas. Emphasize the importance of discussing technology for exam - related topics. Homework (3 minutes): Ask students to write a short dialogue (6 - 8 sentences) about robot assistance, using the model conversation and their own ideas. Find one example of a real - life robot application (e.g., in a factory, hospital) to share in the next class. IV. Assessment of Teaching Effectiveness Formative Assessment: Observe students’ participation in phrase - picture matching, role - play, and group discussion. Check for accurate matching, fluent speaking, and creative idea generation. Summative Assessment (for later): Evaluate homework dialogues for content and language use. Use a quiz to assess vocabulary retention and understanding of robot functions. V. Design Purpose Vocabulary & Function Mastery: Focuses on teaching robot - related vocabulary and functions, laying a foundation for the unit. Skill Development: Develops speaking skills through role - play and discussion, useful for exam - related speaking tasks. Future - Oriented: Encourages thinking about future robot applications, enhancing awareness of technological innovation. VI.
