教学过程
1 Warming - up (5 minutes)
Greet the students as usual.
Sing an English song related to school, such as "School Days". While singing, show some pictures of school scenes and school supplies on the PPT to arouse students' interest and lead in the topic of this lesson.
2 Presentation (15 minutes)
Vocabulary teaching
Show real objects of school supplies one by one, such as a schoolbag, a book, a pencil, etc. And say, "Look! This is a schoolbag. S - c - h - o - o - l - b - a - g, schoolbag." Let students repeat the words after the teacher for several times, paying attention to the pronunciation.
Use flashcards to review the words. Show the flashcards quickly and ask students to read the words out as fast as possible.
Write the words on the blackboard and teach students how to spell them. Let students write the words in their notebooks several times.
Sentence pattern teaching
Put some books in a schoolbag. Then ask, "What's in the schoolbag?" Open the schoolbag and take out a book, say, "There is a book in the schoolbag." Let students repeat the sentence.
Put more books and other school supplies in the schoolbag. Ask, "What's in the schoolbag?" Then answer, "There are some books, a pencil and an eraser in the schoolbag." Explain the usage of "There is" for singular nouns and "There are" for plural nouns. Let students practice the sentences in pairs.
Take out a handful of pencils. Ask, "How many pencils are there in my hand?" Count the pencils together with the students, "One, two, three... There are five pencils." Teach students this sentence pattern for asking about quantity. Let students ask and answer in groups about the number of different school supplies.
3 Practice (15 minutes)
Listening practice
Play a recording. In the recording, a student is introducing the items in his/her schoolbag. Students listen carefully and fill in the blanks in the handout about the number and names of school supplies.
Play the recording again. Students check their answers.
Speaking practice
Divide students into groups of four. Each student shows their schoolbag to the group members and describes the items in it using the sentence patterns "There is/are...". Others ask questions like "How many... are there in your schoolbag?"
Choose some groups to come to the front of the class and share their conversations. The rest of the students listen and evaluate.
Reading practice
Give each student a short passage about school supplies. The passage contains the words and sentence patterns learned in this class. Let students read the passage silently first, then read it aloud in turns.
Ask some students to read the passage in front of the class and answer some simple questions related to the passage.
4 Production (8 minutes)
Let students design their own ideal schoolbag. They can draw pictures of the school supplies they want to put in the schoolbag on a piece of paper and write down sentences to describe what's in their ideal schoolbag. For example, "There is a magic notebook in my schoolbag. There are some colorful crayons and a super - sharp sharpener."
After they finish, ask several students to show their works and introduce them to the class.
5 Summary and Homework (2 minutes)
Summary
Review the key vocabulary and sentence patterns learned in this class with students. Ask students to recall the words of school supplies and the sentence patterns for description and inquiry.
Homework
Ask students to make a dialogue with their parents about the items in their schoolbag and write it down.
Let students make a word - card for each new word learned in this class, with the English word, Chinese meaning and a small picture on it.
教学反思
After this class, students have shown great interest in learning vocabulary about school supplies and sentence patterns. Through various activities such as singing, real - object demonstration, group work and games, most students have mastered the key knowledge. However, there are still some problems:
Some students have difficulty in differentiating the usage of "There is" and "There are". In future classes, more targeted exercises and real - life examples should be provided to help them understand better.
During group work, a few students were less active. In the following teaching, more attention should be paid to these students to encourage their participation and cooperation.
The time for production part was a bit tight. Some students didn't have enough time to fully show their creativity. Next time, the time arrangement needs to be more reasonable to ensure that students can complete their tasks and share their ideas smoothly.
