Unit 5 Animal friends-Welcome to the unit This unit belongs to the theme category of "Man and Nature", specifically the sub - themes of "Common Animals, Animal Characteristics and Living Environments" and "Love and Revere Nature, Coexist Harmoniously with Nature" within the "Natural Ecology" theme group. This lesson is the first class of Unit 5 in Grade 7. The teacher needs to complete the teaching tasks of the unit theme and learning objectives section, as well as the Welcome to the unit section. The topic of this section is "Animal facts". It contains four pictures of animals and sentences describing the characteristics of the corresponding animals, a dialogue between two students talking about the animals they are familiar with, and an open - ended question about discussing more interesting facts about animals. Through pictures, texts and audio, this section brings students into the context of introducing animals. In this context, students learn simple expressions for introducing the appearance, living habits and special skills of animals, and are inspired to share the interesting facts about animals they know, stimulating students' curiosity to explore the animal world and warming up for the unit learning. 教学目标 Students can recognize and master basic animal - related vocabulary, such as "panda", "elephant", "koala", "lion", "giraffe", "monkey", etc., and be able to pronounce and spell them accurately. Understand and learn to use simple sentence patterns to describe the characteristics and preferences of animals, such as "It is...", "It has...", "It likes...", etc., and be able to use these sentence patterns for preliminary communication in real - life situations. 教学重难点 Master key vocabulary and phrases related to animals, as well as common sentence patterns used to describe animals. Guide students to understand the characteristics and basic information of some common animals, and be able to introduce and communicate in English. Let students deeply understand the close relationship between animals and humans, not just stay on the surface understanding, cultivate students' love and protection awareness of animals, and improve students' social responsibility. 1.

Lead - in (5 minutes) Video show: Play a short video about various animals in the wild, such as pandas eating bamboo, lions running on the grassland, and birds flying in the sky. After the video, ask students, "What animals can you see in the video? Please share the names of the animals you saw." Free talk: Encourage students to talk about their favorite animals briefly. For example, a student may say, "My favorite animal is the dog. It is very friendly." Write down the animal names and relevant adjectives on the blackboard. 2. Presentation (15 minutes) Vocabulary learning: Show pictures of animals one by one on the PPT, such as a picture of a panda. Say, "Look at this animal. It is a panda. P - a - n - d - a, panda. Repeat after me." Teach the pronunciation and spelling of each animal word carefully. Then, show some descriptive words on the PPT, like "cute", "black - and - white", and explain how to use them to describe the panda, e.g., "The panda is very cute. It is black - and - white." Sentence pattern practice: Use the pictures of animals to practice sentence patterns. Point to the picture of an elephant and say, "Look at the elephant. It has a long nose. It is very strong." Then, ask students to describe other animals using the sentence patterns "It has..." and "It is...". For example, for a rabbit, students may say, "It has long ears. It is cute." Animal facts matching: Present four pictures of animals (a goldfish, a parrot, a dog, a rabbit) on the PPT, and next to them, show some sentences about animal facts, such as "It can swim in the water.", "It can talk.", "It likes bones.", "It likes carrots." Ask students to match the animals with the corresponding facts. Walk around the classroom to help students if they have difficulties. 3. Dialogue Learning (10 minutes) Listening: Play the recording of the dialogue between Millie and Simon. Let students listen carefully and answer the question: "What animals are Millie and Simon talking about?" Reading: Show the dialogue on the PPT. Ask students to read the dialogue in pairs, imitate the pronunciation and intonation, and then answer some detailed questions, such as "What does Millie think of the rabbit?" Analysis: Analyze the key sentence patterns and expressions in the dialogue, such as "I know...", "That's interesting!" Explain how to use them to express one's knowledge about animals and respond to others' statements. Role - play: Divide students into pairs. Let them role - play the dialogue. Then, ask some pairs to come to the front of the classroom and perform the dialogue for the whole class. Give praise and encouragement to the students who perform well. 4. Group Work (10 minutes) Group discussion: Divide students into groups of four or five. Give each group a topic: "What do you know about a special animal?" Each group chooses an animal they are interested in, such as a snake, a kangaroo, or an owl. Group members discuss and write down some facts about the animal they choose, using the sentence patterns they have learned. For example, if they choose a snake, they may write, "It has no legs. It can crawl. It likes living in dark places." Presentation: Each group selects a representative to come to the front of the classroom and present the facts about the animal their group has discussed. The rest of the students listen carefully and can ask questions if they have any. After each presentation, give some positive feedback to the group, such as "Well done! You have found a lot of interesting facts about the animal." 5. Summary and Homework (5 minutes) Summary: Summarize the key vocabulary, sentence patterns and the knowledge about animals learned in this class. Ask students to recall the animal names, how to describe animals, and some interesting animal facts. Homework: Ask students to draw a picture of their favorite animal and write at least five sentences to describe it. Let students search for more interesting facts about animals on the Internet or in books and be ready to share them in the next class. 教学反思 After this class, students showed great interest in learning about animals. Most students could master the basic animal - related vocabulary and use simple sentence patterns to describe animals. However, there are still some aspects that need improvement. During the group work, some students were a bit shy and did not actively participate in the discussion. In the future, more encouragement and guidance should be given to these students to make them more involved in group activities. Also, when teaching complex sentence structures and new vocabulary, more examples and explanations could be provided to help students better understand and use them. In terms of teaching methods, the combination of video, pictures, dialogue and group work was effective in attracting students' attention. But in the future, more real - life situations can be created to make the learning of English more practical and interesting. Overall, this class laid a good foundation for students to further learn about animals in this unit, but continuous improvement in teaching is needed to better meet the learning needs of students. 2 / 37 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
