Unit 1 People around us-Section 1 Experiencing and understanding language-Reading The reading materials in this unit consist of two narrative essays. One is about Lu Yuntao's grandma, and the other is about Lin Aixin's math teacher. These two texts revolve around the occupations, personalities, behaviors, and virtues of the characters. The description of Lu Yuntao's grandma shows her kind and patient character through daily life examples, such as taking good care of family members. The portrayal of Mr. Li, the math teacher, reveals his humorous and encouraging traits, like making the class interesting and cheering up students when they face difficulties. The texts use the third - person perspective with some interspersed first - person elements. They objectively depict the people around the authors while also presenting the relationships and the authors' views. Adjectives like "kind", "patient", "cheerful", "smart", and "interesting" are used to describe the characters, and the simple present tense is employed to describe the characters, their behaviors, and virtues, making the description objective and specific. 教学目标 Students will be able to understand and master key vocabulary and phrases related to describing people, such as "retire", "cheerful", "relative", "medical", "strict", "give up", "take good care of", etc. Students can understand the main idea of the two reading passages, including the basic information of Lu Yuntao's grandma and Mr. Li, such as their occupations and personalities. Students will learn the writing structure and language features of narrative essays for describing people. 教学重难点 1. Key Points Mastery of key vocabulary and phrases for describing people.

He always makes our math class lively." 3. Reading Skills Skimming: Read the title, headings, and the first and last paragraphs quickly to get the general idea of the passage. Scanning: Search for specific information, such as the occupations, personalities, and key events related to the characters in the text. Intensive Reading: Read carefully to understand the details, analyze the relationships between sentences and paragraphs, and understand the deep meaning of the text. 教学过程 1. Warming - up (5 minutes) Greet the students and show some pictures of different people, such as family members, teachers, and friends. Ask students to describe these people briefly in one or two sentences, using words they already know, like "He is my father. He is tall and kind." Then lead in the topic of this unit - "People around us", and tell students that in this class, they will read two articles about two important people in the authors' lives. 2. Pre - reading (8 minutes) Present some new words and phrases related to the reading materials on the PPT. Teach the pronunciation, meaning, and usage of these words and phrases through word - card display, example sentences, and short explanations. For example, for the phrase "give up", show the sentence "Don't give up easily when you face difficulties." and explain its meaning. Let students read the new words and phrases several times to make them familiar. Then show the titles and pictures of the two reading passages "My grandma" and "My teacher" on the PPT. Ask students to predict what the passages might be about according to the titles and pictures. Encourage them to share their predictions in pairs and then invite some pairs to report to the class. 3. While - reading (20 minutes) Fast Reading (5 minutes) Ask students to read the two passages quickly (skimming). They are required to find out the main idea of each passage and answer the following two questions: Who are the two people mainly introduced in the passages? What are their occupations? Give students 3 - 4 minutes to read and then check the answers. For example, the first passage is mainly about Lu Yuntao's grandma, and she is a retired nurse. The second passage is about Lin Aixin's math teacher Mr. Li, and his occupation is a teacher. Careful Reading (15 minutes) For "My grandma": Let students read the first paragraph of "My grandma" carefully. Analyze the sentence structure and the words used to introduce the grandma's occupation and personality. For example, "My grandma is a kind and patient person. She used to be a nurse." Teach students how to use "used to" to describe past situations. Then ask students to read the second and third paragraphs. Guide them to find out the specific examples that show the grandma's kindness and patience. For instance, "She always takes good care of us. When my little brother was ill, she stayed with him in the hospital day and night." Let students discuss in groups why these examples can reflect the grandma's character. Read the last paragraph together. Explain the meaning of the sentences and let students understand the deep love between the grandma and the family. For "My teacher": Let students read the first paragraph of "My teacher". Ask them to find out the adjectives that describe Mr. Li's character in class, such as "smart" and "interesting". Analyze how the author shows Mr. Li's interestingness, like "He always makes his classes lively and interesting by using funny stories." In the second paragraph, ask students to pay attention to how Mr. Li encourages his students. Find out the relevant sentences, such as "He always says, 'Don't worry. Try your best, and you will succeed.'" Discuss with students what kind of teacher Mr. Li is. After reading each passage, ask some detailed comprehension questions to check students' understanding, such as "What did Lu Yuntao's grandma do when someone in the family was ill?" or "Why do the students like Mr. Li's classes?" 4. Post - reading (10 minutes) Group Discussion (5 minutes): Divide students into groups of 4 - 5. Ask them to discuss the following two questions: Who is the most important person in your life? Why is he / she important to you? What good qualities does this person have? Can you give some examples? Each group selects a representative to report the group's discussion results to the class. Encourage other students to ask questions or make comments. Writing Practice (5 minutes): Provide students with some guiding words and phrases, such as "kind", "hard - working", "helpful", "always", "for example". Ask students to write a short passage to introduce an important person around them, imitating the writing style of the reading passages. They should write at least 5 - 6 sentences. After students finish writing, ask them to exchange their writings with their partners and give each other some suggestions for improvement. Then invite several students to read their passages to the class. 5. Summary and Homework (2 minutes) Summary: Summarize the key points of this class, including new words and phrases, the main idea of the reading passages, and the method of describing people. Emphasize the importance of observing and appreciating the people around us. Homework: Ask students to rewrite the passage they wrote in class, making it more perfect by adding more details. Let students read the two passages again after class and try to recite some beautiful sentences. 教学反思 After this class, I found that most students were interested in the topic of "People around us" and actively participated in classroom activities. The warm - up and pre - reading activities effectively aroused students' curiosity and laid a good foundation for reading. During the while - reading process, through different reading strategies, students gradually mastered the reading skills and understood the text content. However, there are still some problems. For example, in the group discussion, some students were a bit shy and did not express their opinions actively. In the future, I will pay more attention to encouraging these students and creating a more relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Also, in the writing practice, some students still had difficulties in using the learned words and sentence structures correctly. I will strengthen the writing training in the following classes, providing more writing tasks and individual guidance to help students improve their writing ability. Overall, this class achieved most of the teaching objectives, but there is still room for improvement. 2 / 37 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
