Unit 7 Role models of our time-Checking your progress (Project) This unit focuses on the theme of "Role models of our time". Students will explore the qualities and contributions of different role models, such as scientists, educators, and social workers. Through various reading materials, listening tasks, speaking activities, and writing exercises, students will learn about the inspiring stories of these role models and understand what makes them outstanding. The project in this unit requires students to conduct research on a role model they admire, and then present their findings in the form of a poster or a speech. This not only helps students review and consolidate the language knowledge they have learned in this unit, but also develops their research skills, critical thinking ability, and presentation skills. 教学目标 Students can master the key vocabulary related to role models, such as "role model", "devoted", "degree", "archaeologist", "desert", "plant", "difficulty", "face", "solve", "ordinary", "courage", "determination", "quality", "social", "achievement", "influence", "respect", "admire", "encourage", "inspire", "contribution", "effort", "professional", "field", "worthy", etc. Students can remember important phrases like "make contributions to", "learn from", "be proud of", "for example", "face difficulties", "give up", "achieve success", "encourage sb. to do sth.", "inspire sb. to do sth.", "make efforts to do sth.", "in the field of", "have an influence on", "be worthy of doing sth.", "set an example for", "show respect for". Students are able to use key sentences to describe role models, such as "My role model is a devoted teacher. He always encourages us to study hard.", "We should learn excellent qualities from our role models.", "Yuan Longping made great contributions to Chinese agriculture.", "He never gives up when facing difficulties, which inspires us to move forward bravely.", "Tu Youyou has achieved great success in the field of medicine. We are proud of her.", "What makes these people the role models of our time?", "Our role models have an important influence on our lives and future.", "Everyone can become a role model for others through hard work.", "We should show respect for those who have made contributions to society.", "The story of this scientist inspires me to pursue my dreams in the field of science." Students can understand the basic grammar usage related to the description of role models, such as the simple present tense for general statements and the simple past tense for past experiences. 教学重难点 Teaching Key Points Mastery of key vocabulary, phrases, and sentences related to role models.

Teaching Difficult Points Helping students understand some abstract concepts such as "contribution", "influence", and "worthy", and being able to use them correctly in context.

Ask students: "Do you know these people? What do they do? Why are they famous?" Encourage students to express their ideas briefly. Then introduce the topic of this class: "Today, we are going to further explore the role models of our time and complete a project about them." Step 2: Revision of Knowledge (10 minutes) Vocabulary review Use flashcards to review the key vocabulary related to role models. Let students read the words aloud and explain their meanings in simple English or Chinese. Conduct a vocabulary game, such as "Word Relay". Divide students into groups. The first student in each group says a word related to role models, and the next student has to say a new word starting with the last letter of the previous word. For example, if the first student says "archaeologist", the second student can say "teacher". Phrase and sentence review Write some key phrases and sentences on the blackboard, and ask students to translate them into English or Chinese. Let students make up their own sentences using the phrases and sentences they have learned, and then share them with the class. Step 3: Project Guidance (15 minutes) Explain the project task Show the requirements of the project on the PPT: "You need to choose a role model you admire, conduct research on him/her, and then present your findings in the form of a poster or a speech. Your presentation should include the following aspects: personal information, job, contributions, and the reasons why you admire him/her." Provide some examples of good posters and speeches about role models for students to watch and learn from. Research guidance Guide students on how to collect information. Suggest they can use books, the Internet, or interviews to get information about their chosen role models. Teach students how to organize the information they have collected. For example, they can make a mind map or an outline to list the key points. Divide students into groups of 4 - 5. Each group discusses and decides on a role model they want to research. Then they start to collect information together. Step 4: Group Work (10 minutes) Students in each group continue to collect and organize information according to their plan. They can also start to design their posters or prepare the content of their speeches. The teacher walks around the classroom, offering help and guidance when necessary. For example, if students have problems with language expressions, the teacher can give them some suggestions; if students have difficulties in finding relevant information, the teacher can guide them to use appropriate resources. Step 5: Conclusion and Homework (5 minutes) Conclusion Summarize the key points of this class, including the review of knowledge and the guidance of the project. Emphasize the importance of learning from role models and the significance of this project. Select one or two groups to briefly share their initial ideas about the role models they have chosen and the progress of their research. Give them some positive feedback. Homework Require students to complete the research and the preparation of their posters or speeches at home. They can further refine the content, add more details, and make their presentations more attractive. Ask students to review the knowledge they have learned in this unit again to ensure they can use it proficiently in their presentations. 教学反思 In this class, the use of pictures in the lead - in part can effectively arouse students' interest and quickly introduce the topic. However, in the future, more interactive ways can be considered, such as asking students to share their own stories about role models they know briefly at the beginning, which can make students more involved from the very start. The review of knowledge is relatively comprehensive, but for some students with weak English foundations, the speed may be a bit fast. Next time, more individual attention should be paid to these students, and additional simple exercises can be designed for them to strengthen their understanding and memory of vocabulary, phrases, and sentences. During the project guidance and group work, most students show high enthusiasm and actively participate in the discussion and research. But there are still some groups that lack efficient cooperation. In the future, more training on group cooperation skills should be carried out, such as teaching students how to assign tasks reasonably, how to listen to others' opinions, and how to solve conflicts within the group. The time arrangement in this class is generally appropriate, but if more time can be allocated to the group work part, students may have more time to communicate and perfect their ideas. In the subsequent teaching, the time can be adjusted according to the actual situation to ensure that students can complete the project tasks more smoothly. 2 / 37 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 $$
