Unit 4 Our animal friends-Section 2 Exploring and applying rules (Grammar) This unit, themed around "Our animal friends", belongs to the "Natural Ecology" theme group within the "Man and Nature" theme category. It aims to help students recognize the significance of animals and cultivate their sense of responsibility for protecting the ecological environment. This grammar class in Section 2 mainly focuses on reflexive pronouns and prepositions of position. In Grammar A, through the scenario of Barbara, the baby sheep, introducing farm animals, students are guided to summarize the structure and usage of reflexive pronouns. For example, "I could walk by myself right after birth." Here, the reflexive pronoun "myself" is used to emphasize that the subject "I" (the baby sheep) can perform the action of walking independently. In Grammar B, students are encouraged to use prepositions of position to describe the specific locations of pets at home. For instance, they might say "The cat is under the table." These grammar points play a crucial role in enabling students to express themselves more accurately when talking about animals and their positions. 教学目标 Students will be able to understand and master the formation and usage of reflexive pronouns. They should know that reflexive pronouns are formed by adding "-self" (for singular) or "-selves" (for plural) to the corresponding personal pronouns, such as "I - myself", "we - ourselves". Students will grasp the meanings and usage differences of various prepositions of position, like "in", "on", "under", "in front of", "behind", etc. 教学重难点 Key Points The formation rules and common usage scenarios of reflexive pronouns. For example, using reflexive pronouns as the object of a verb or preposition when the subject and the object refer to the same person or thing, like "She taught herself English." The specific meanings and correct usage of common prepositions of position. For instance, "on" indicates contact with a surface, as in "The book is on the desk", while "above" means higher than something without contact, such as "The plane is flying above the clouds." Difficult Points Differentiating between similar reflexive pronouns and avoiding incorrect usage when matching them with the subject. Some students may be confused about when to use "myself" and "ourselves", for example. Distinguishing and accurately using prepositions of position that have similar meanings, such as "over" and "above", "under" and "below". "Over" often implies a sense of covering or spanning, like "The bridge is over the river", while "above" is more general in indicating a higher position. Reflexive Pronouns Formation: Singular: I - myself, you (sing.) - yourself, he - himself, she - herself, it - itself Plural: we - ourselves, you (pl.) - yourselves, they - themselves Usage: As the object of a verb or preposition when the subject and the object are the same. E.g., "They enjoyed themselves at the party." "He is looking at himself in the mirror." For emphasis, to mean "alone" or "without help". E.g., "She can do the work by herself." Common Phrases: enjoy oneself (have a good time), help oneself to (help yourself/yourselves to food, etc.), teach oneself (learn by oneself) Prepositions of Position In: inside a space or area. E.g., "The ball is in the box." On: in contact with and supported by a surface. E.g., "The picture is on the wall." Under: directly below something. E.g., "The dog is under the chair." In front of: facing and before someone or something. E.g., "There is a tree in front of the house." Behind: at the back of someone or something. E.g., "The cat is behind the door." Above: higher than something, without contact. E.g., "The sun is above the mountains." Below: lower than something, without contact. E.g., "The temperature is below zero." Beside: next to or at the side of someone or something. E.g., "He is sitting beside me." Between: in the space separating two things or people. E.g., "The ball is between the two chairs." Among: in the middle of more than two things or people. E.g., "She is standing among her classmates." 教学过程 Lead - in (5 minutes) Show some pictures of animals in different positions, such as a cat on the roof, a dog under a tree, etc. Then ask students simple questions like "Where is the cat?" to review some basic prepositions they learned before. Present a short passage about a little lamb named Barbara talking about itself and other farm animals. For example: "I'm a baby sheep. I could walk by myself right after birth. That baby horse is my friend Pony. She can already run very fast by herself." After reading, ask students if they notice anything special about the words in bold (reflexive pronouns) to lead in the topic of this class. Presentation of Reflexive Pronouns (10 minutes) Write the examples from the passage on the blackboard: "I could walk by myself right after birth." "She can already run very fast by herself." Analyze the sentences with students, explain that the words "myself" and "herself" are reflexive pronouns, and they are used when the subject and the object of the action are the same. Show the formation rules of reflexive pronouns on the PPT, write down the personal pronouns and their corresponding reflexive forms on the blackboard, and let students read them aloud several times to remember. Give more examples of using reflexive pronouns in different sentences, such as "He hurt himself while riding a bike." "We should believe in ourselves." Ask students to imitate and make their own sentences. Practice of Reflexive Pronouns (10 minutes) Hand out a worksheet with some fill - in - the - blank exercises about reflexive pronouns. For example: The little girl can dress _ (herself). They enjoyed _ (themselves) at the zoo. Don't worry about me. I can take care of _ (myself). Let students work individually first, and then check the answers together. Encourage students to explain why they choose that particular reflexive pronoun in each sentence. Organize a group activity. Divide students into groups of four. Each group member needs to say a sentence using a reflexive pronoun. The other members in the group listen and correct if there are any mistakes. The group that finishes first and has the most correct sentences wins. Presentation of Prepositions of Position (10 minutes) Use a model of a room with some small toys (representing animals or objects). Place a toy cat on the table, a toy dog under the chair, etc. Then say sentences like "The cat is on the table." "The dog is under the chair." while demonstrating the positions. Show the PPT with pictures of different positions and the corresponding prepositions of position. Explain the meanings and usage differences of each preposition in detail. For example, compare "on" and "above", "under" and "below" with specific examples and pictures. Let students practice describing the positions of the toys in the model room. First, ask them to describe the positions of one or two toys orally, and then ask them to write down several sentences describing the positions of all the toys in the room. Practice of Prepositions of Position (5 minutes) Show some pictures of animals in different positions on the PPT. Ask students to describe the positions of the animals using prepositions of position. For example, "The bird is in the tree." "The rabbit is in front of the carrot." Conduct a quick quiz. Show a series of pictures on the PPT for a short time, and then ask students to write down as many sentences as they can about the positions of the objects or animals in the pictures within one minute. Check the answers and give praise to the students who write the most correct sentences. Summary (3 minutes) Summarize the key points of reflexive pronouns and prepositions of position with students. Review the formation and usage of reflexive pronouns, and the meanings and differences of prepositions of position. Encourage students to pay attention to using these grammar points correctly in their daily English learning and communication. Homework Assignment (2 minutes) Ask students to write a short passage about their pets at home, using at least three reflexive pronouns and five prepositions of position. Tell students to review the grammar points learned in this class and be prepared for a small test in the next class. 教学反思 After this class, I found that students showed great interest in the topic of animals, which made the teaching process relatively smooth. In the presentation of reflexive pronouns, most students could quickly understand the concept and formation rules through vivid examples. However, in the practice part, some students still made mistakes when choosing the appropriate reflexive pronoun, especially when the subject was in the plural form. This indicates that more targeted practice is needed in the future. When teaching prepositions of position, the use of real - life models and pictures was very effective in helping students understand the meanings. But differentiating between similar prepositions like "over" and "above" was still a challenge for some students. In the future, more context - based exercises and explanations can be provided to strengthen their understanding. Overall, group activities were well - received by students, which enhanced their communication and cooperation skills. However, in the future, more time management should be paid attention to in group activities to ensure that every student has enough time to participate and express themselves. I will also adjust my teaching methods according to the students' learning situations to make the grammar class more interesting and effective. 2 / 37 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 $$
