Warming - up (5 minutes) Greet the students as usual and start a simple conversation. For example, "Hello, class! How are you today? Did you have a good time yesterday?" Show some pictures of different school facilities on the PPT, such as a library, a classroom, a playground, etc. And ask students to name them in English. Encourage students to actively participate and give praise to those who answer correctly. B. Pre - reading (10 minutes) Prediction Show the title of the reading passage "Welcome to our School" and the picture on the textbook related to the reading. Let students predict what the passage might be about. For example, ask them "From the title and the picture, what do you think Millie will introduce to her mother?" Guide students to think about possible school facilities, activities, etc. Divide students into small groups of 4 - 5 to discuss their predictions. Each group selects a representative to share their ideas with the whole class. Vocabulary Introduction Present the new words and phrases about school facilities on the PPT one by one. Teach students how to read them correctly, paying attention to the pronunciation and stress. For example, when teaching "library", pronounce it /ˈlaɪbrəri/ and emphasize the stress on the first syllable. Use pictures or real - life examples to help students understand the meaning of each word. After introducing each word, ask students to repeat it several times. Then, play a simple word - guessing game. Describe a school facility in English, and let students guess which one it is. For example, "It is a place where you can borrow books. What is it?" C. While - reading (15 minutes) Skimming Ask students to quickly read the whole passage within 2 - 3 minutes without paying too much attention to details. Then, answer the question: "What is the main idea of this passage?" Guide students to find the topic sentence or summarize the main content in their own words. Invite some students to share their answers. Scanning Present some detailed questions on the PPT, such as "Where is the library?", "How many classrooms are there in the school?", "What can students do in the art room?" etc. Let students read the passage again, this time scanning for specific information to answer these questions. Give them 3 - 4 minutes to read and find the answers. Then, check the answers together. For each question, ask students to find the relevant sentences in the passage to support their answers. Detailed Reading Read the passage sentence by sentence with students. Explain the important language points, especially the sentence patterns for expressing existence. For example, when reading "There is a library in our school. It is open from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.", explain the structure of "There is..." and the usage of the prepositional phrase "from... to...". Analyze the text structure. Point out how the writer introduces the school, usually in a certain order, such as from the front gate to different buildings and facilities. Help students understand how to organize information when introducing a place. D. Post - reading (10 minutes) Group Discussion Divide students into groups again. Ask each group to discuss and make a list of the school facilities they like best in their own school and the reasons why they like them. Each group member should contribute their ideas. After the discussion, each group makes a short presentation to introduce their favorite school facilities to the class. Encourage them to use the language they have learned in this class, such as "There is a... in our school. I like it because...". Writing Practice Ask students to write a short passage to introduce their own school. They can refer to the reading passage and the discussion in class. Remind them to include the main school facilities, their locations, and some activities that can be done there. Give them 5 - 6 minutes to write. After they finish writing, ask several students to read their passages aloud. Provide some positive feedback and suggestions for improvement, such as grammar mistakes, sentence structures, and the richness of vocabulary. E. Summary and Homework (5 minutes) Summary Summarize the key points of this class with students, including new words and phrases, sentence patterns, and reading skills. For example, review the words about school facilities and the sentence patterns "There is..." and "There are...". Also, remind students of the importance of using reading strategies like skimming and scanning. Ask students if they have any questions or need further explanation on any points. Homework Ask students to improve their writing about introducing their school according to the feedback in class and copy the new words and phrases three times. Let students make a simple poster about their school, including pictures of school facilities and some English descriptions. They can use the knowledge they have learned in this class. 教学反思 After this class, I think the overall teaching effect is acceptable. The warming - up activity successfully attracted students' attention and aroused their interest in the topic. In the pre - reading stage, the prediction and vocabulary introduction activities helped students better prepare for reading. During the while - reading process, students gradually mastered the reading strategies and understood the text. However, there are still some areas that need improvement. For example, in the group discussion part, some students were a bit shy and did not actively participate. In the future, I should create a more relaxed and encouraging atmosphere to make every student willing to express their opinions. Also, in the writing practice, some students still made some basic grammar mistakes, which indicates that more grammar exercises and guidance are needed. In addition, the time control in some parts could be more accurate. For instance, the detailed reading part might have taken a little too long, leaving less time for the post - reading writing practice. I will adjust the teaching pace in the next class to ensure a more balanced allocation of time for each teaching activity. 2 / 37 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
