Unit 1 Friendship-Section 2 Exploring and applying rules (Grammar) 教学设计 2025-2026学年沪教版英语七年级上册

Unit 1 Friendship-Section 2 Exploring and applying rules (Grammar) This section focuses on grammar, mainly the simple present tense. The simple present tense is used to describe habitual actions, general truths, and states that exist now. Students will learn how to form sentences in the simple present tense, especially the changes in verb forms when the subject is the third - person singular. In addition, they will also review and further understand the usage of adjectives, including how to use adjectives to describe people and things, and the positions of adjectives in sentences. This grammar knowledge is closely related to the theme of "Friendship" in this unit, enabling students to better describe their friends, friendships, and daily activities with friends. 教学目标 Students will be able to understand the concept and usage of the simple present tense. They can correctly form sentences in the simple present tense, including affirmative, negative, and interrogative sentences. Master the rules of verb changes in the third - person singular form in the simple present tense. Review and consolidate the usage of adjectives, knowing how to use adjectives to modify nouns and be used as predicatives after linking verbs. 教学重难点 A. Key Points The formation and usage of the simple present tense, especially the verb changes when the subject is the third - person singular (he/she/it). For most verbs, add -s at the end. For example, play - plays, like - likes. For verbs ending in -s, -x, -ch, -sh, add -es. For example, watch - watches, wash - washes. For verbs ending in consonant + y, change y to i and add -es. For example, study - studies. The usage of adjectives to describe people and things, and their positions in sentences (before nouns as attributives and after linking verbs as predicatives). B. Difficult Points Helping students distinguish the usage of the simple present tense from other tenses, especially in real - life communication and writing. Ensuring students can use the third - person singular form of verbs correctly in various sentence patterns without making mistakes, as this is often a common error area for beginners. Guiding students to use adjectives vividly and appropriately to describe, rather than just using simple and common adjectives. A. Simple Present Tense Usage Habitual actions: Actions that happen regularly or repeatedly. For example, "I often play football after school." General truths: Facts that are always true. For example, "The earth moves around the sun." States: Describing a person's or thing's current state. For example, "He likes reading books." Sentence Structure Affirmative sentences: When the subject is not the third - person singular (I, you, we, they), the verb uses the base form. For example, "I play basketball on weekends." When the subject is the third - person singular (he, she, it), the verb adds -s or -es. For example, "She watches TV every evening." Negative sentences: When the subject is not the third - person singular, use "do not (don't)" + verb base form. For example, "I don't like apples." When the subject is the third - person singular, use "does not (doesn't)" + verb base form. For example, "He doesn't go to school by bike." Interrogative sentences: When the subject is not the third - person singular, start with "Do" + subject + verb base form + other? For example, "Do you like English?" When the subject is the third - person singular, start with "Does" + subject + verb base form + other? For example, "Does she live in Shanghai?" B. Adjectives As Attributives Adjectives are used to modify nouns and are placed before the nouns. For example, "a beautiful flower", "a kind friend". As Predicatives Adjectives are used after linking verbs (such as be, look, feel, sound, taste) to describe the subject. For example, "The music sounds wonderful.", "She looks happy." 教学过程 A. Lead - in (5 minutes) Greet the students as usual and then show some pictures of students' daily activities, such as playing basketball, reading books, having meals, etc. Ask students some simple questions based on the pictures, like "What are they doing in the picture?" Encourage students to answer. Then guide them to think about how to describe these activities if they happen regularly. For example, change "What are they doing now?" to "What do they often do after school?" This leads to the topic of the simple present tense. B. Presentation (10 minutes) Simple Present Tense Write some simple sentences on the blackboard, such as "I play football every day.", "He plays basketball on Sundays.", "They go to school by bike." Let students observe these sentences and find the differences. Guide them to notice the verb forms when the subject is "he" (the third - person singular). Explain the rules of verb changes in the third - person singular form in detail, and give more examples for illustration. Then, use the three - sentence - pattern cards (affirmative, negative, interrogative) to show how to form different types of sentences in the simple present tense. For example, take the sentence "She likes reading." and change it into negative "She doesn't like reading." and interrogative "Does she like reading?" Adjectives Show some pictures of people with different characteristics, like a tall boy, a friendly girl, a clever dog. Write sentences on the blackboard, such as "He is tall.", "She is friendly.", "It is a clever dog." Explain the two main usages of adjectives: as attributives before nouns and as predicatives after linking verbs. Let students find more adjectives from the sentences and give their own examples. C. Practice (15 minutes) Simple Present Tense Practice Hand out a worksheet with a series of exercises about the simple present tense. The exercises include filling in the blanks with the correct form of verbs, changing sentences into negative and interrogative forms. For example: He _ (go) to school by bus every day. (Answer: goes) They play games after class. (Change to negative sentence) (Answer: They don't play games after class.) She watches TV in the evening. (Change to interrogative sentence) (Answer: Does she watch TV in the evening?) Let students do the exercises individually first, and then check the answers in pairs. Walk around the classroom to offer help and guidance. Adjective Practice Divide students into groups of four. Give each group a set of cards with different nouns (such as "book", "teacher", "cat") and another set of cards with adjectives (such as "interesting", "kind", "lovely"). Require students to match the adjectives with the nouns to form correct phrases and then make sentences. For example, for "book" and "interesting", they can make the sentence "This is an interesting book." Each group should report at least three sentences they made. D. Consolidation (10 minutes) Listening Practice Play a short dialogue recording about two friends talking about their daily habits. Before playing, give students some questions to listen for, such as "What does Tom usually do on weekends?", "Does Lucy like sports?" After playing the recording once, let students answer the questions. Then play the recording again if necessary for students to check and confirm their answers. Writing Practice Ask students to write a short passage about their best friend, using the simple present tense and adjectives to describe their friend's appearance, personality, and daily activities. For example, "My best friend is Lily. She is tall and friendly. She likes reading books and often goes to the library after school." Let students write for about 5 minutes, and then ask some students to read out their passages in front of the class. Give positive feedback and suggestions for improvement. E. Summary and Homework (5 minutes) Summary Review the key points of the simple present tense and adjectives with the students. Ask students to summarize what they have learned in this class, and then make a complete summary on the blackboard, emphasizing the important grammar rules and usage. Homework Ask students to write a short composition about their family's daily life, using at least five sentences in the simple present tense. Let students find more examples of the simple present tense and adjectives in English textbooks or reading materials they have at home, and write them down in their notebooks. 教学反思 After this class, overall, students showed a certain level of interest in the grammar content, and most of them could master the basic formation and usage of the simple present tense and the usage of adjectives. However, there are still some areas that need improvement. In terms of the simple present tense, although students understood the rules of verb changes in the third - person singular form, some students still made mistakes in actual writing and speaking. This may be due to insufficient practice. In the future, more oral drills and writing exercises should be designed to strengthen this part. During the group activities, it was found that some students were less active and relied too much on their group members. In the following classes, more attention should be paid to mobilizing the enthusiasm of each student and encouraging them to participate actively. For the teaching methods, the combination of visual aids (pictures) and practical examples was effective in helping students understand the grammar knowledge. But in the future, more real - life scenarios can be created, such as role - playing real - life conversations, to make the learning process more vivid and practical. In conclusion, this teaching experience provides valuable insights for improving future grammar teaching, and continuous adjustments and improvements will be made 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 $$
