Unit 1 Everyone is different D Showing differences (Writing & Discovery） 教学设计 2024-2025学年沪教版（五四学制）英语六年级下册

Unit 1 Everyone is different-D Showing differences (Writing & Discovery) This section of "Showing differences" in Unit 1 of the sixth - grade English textbook (Shanghai Education Edition, 2024, Five - Four School System) mainly focuses on two aspects: writing and discovery. In writing, students are guided to describe the differences between people, such as differences in appearance, personality, and hobbies. They will learn to use adjectives to vividly depict these differences. For example, words like "tall", "short", "outgoing", "shy", "active", and "lazy" can be used to describe people. In the discovery part, students will explore the usage of prepositions of place, which helps them describe the location of objects. Common prepositions like "in", "on", "under", "behind", "in front of", etc. will be introduced. Through this part, students not only enhance their writing skills in expressing differences but also expand their knowledge of prepositional usage, which enriches their language expression ability in daily communication and writing. 教学目标 Students can master a series of adjectives used to describe people's differences, such as "active", "lazy", "kind - hearted", "clever", "careless", etc., and understand their meanings and usages. Students are able to correctly use prepositions of place, including "in", "on", "under", "behind", "in front of", "beside", "near", etc., to describe the position of objects accurately. Students can recognize and use the sentence patterns related to describing differences, such as "A is + adjective + than B", "A has/have + different + noun + from B", and sentence patterns for describing locations like "There is/are + object + preposition of place + location". 教学重难点 The correct usage of adjectives for describing differences and prepositions of place. For example, differentiating between "in" (indicating inside a space) and "on" (indicating on the surface of an object), and correctly using adjectives like "more + adjective" for comparing two people. Mastering sentence patterns for expressing differences and locations. For instance, "My sister is more outgoing than me." and "The book is on the desk." Guiding students to write coherent and detailed passages about people's differences and describe object locations clearly. Appearance: "tall", "short", "fat", "thin", "beautiful", "handsome", "ugly", "long - haired", "short - haired", etc. Personality: "outgoing", "shy", "active", "lazy", "kind - hearted", "friendly", "mean", "generous", "clever", "stupid", "careful", "careless", etc. Hobbies: "interested in...", "fond of...", "keen on...", "love doing...", "like to do..." 教学过程 1 Warming - up (5 minutes) Greet the students as usual. Then, show some pictures of famous people on the PPT, such as Albert Einstein and Charlie Chaplin. Ask students to describe these people briefly. For example, "What do you think of Einstein?" Students may answer, "He is very clever and has white hair." This activity can quickly arouse students' interest and review some simple adjectives for describing people. 2 Lead - in (5 minutes) After the warming - up, show two pictures of twins. One twin is reading a book quietly, and the other is playing football outside. Ask students, "Can you find the differences between these two twins?" Encourage students to think and answer. Some students may say, "One is reading, and the other is playing." "One is quiet, and the other is active." Then introduce the topic of this class - showing differences. 3 Presentation (10 minutes) Adjectives for describing differences Present a list of adjectives on the PPT, including those for appearance, personality, and hobbies. Explain the meanings of each adjective one by one with examples. For example, when explaining "active", say, "Look at the boy playing football. He is very active. He likes to do sports and always runs around." Let students read the adjectives after the teacher several times to ensure correct pronunciation. Then, do a small exercise. Divide students into pairs. One student describes a person in the class without naming the person, using these adjectives. The other student guesses who it is. For example, "He is tall and active. He always plays basketball after class." The partner tries to guess the name of the student being described. Prepositions of place Use a picture of a classroom on the PPT. Point to different objects in the picture, such as a blackboard, desks, chairs, and a wastebasket. Teach prepositions of place while pointing. For example, point to the blackboard and say, "The blackboard is on the wall." Point to a chair under a desk and say, "The chair is under the desk." Let students repeat after the teacher. Next, ask students to close their eyes. The teacher moves some objects in the classroom quietly. Then ask students to open their eyes and describe the new positions of the objects using prepositions of place. For example, if the teacher moves a book from the desk to the chair, students can say, "The book was on the desk, but now it is on the chair." 4 Practice (15 minutes) Writing practice on differences Give students a writing task. Ask them to choose two people they are familiar with, such as two classmates, two family members, or two friends, and write a short passage to describe the differences between them. Remind them to use the adjectives they just learned. Provide a writing framework on the PPT: Introduction: I want to talk about the differences between... and... Body: Appearance: A is..., while B is... Personality: A is..., but B is... Hobbies: A likes..., however, B likes... Conclusion: Although they are different, I like them both. Walk around the classroom to provide guidance and help students when they encounter problems. After students finish writing, ask some of them to read their passages aloud in class. The teacher gives comments and praise, focusing on grammar correctness, the richness of adjectives used, and the logical structure of the passage. Practice on prepositions of place Divide students into groups of four. Give each group a set of small toys (such as a toy house, a toy tree, a toy car, etc.) and a piece of paper to draw a simple scene. Students in each group need to arrange the toys on the paper and then describe the locations of the toys to each other using prepositions of place. For example, "The toy car is in front of the toy house." "The toy tree is beside the toy house." Then, each group selects a representative to come to the front of the class. The representative describes the arrangement of toys in their group, and other students in the class try to draw the same scene on their notebooks according to the description. After that, compare the drawings with the original arrangements to check for accuracy. 5 Summary and Homework (10 minutes) Summary Summarize the key points of this class with students. Review the adjectives for describing differences and prepositions of place. Ask students to recall some important sentence patterns. For example, call on a student to say a sentence using an adjective for comparison and another student to say a sentence about location. Emphasize the importance of respecting individual differences and how to use English to accurately describe differences and locations in daily life. Homework Ask students to write a more detailed passage about the differences between two famous people they admire. They need to include at least three aspects of differences (appearance, personality, achievements, etc.) and use at least five adjectives. Let students draw a picture of their own rooms and write a short passage to describe the locations of different objects in the room, using prepositions of place. They should write at least five sentences. 教学反思 After this class, overall, students showed relatively high enthusiasm for the learning content. The use of pictures, real - life examples, and group activities effectively attracted students' attention and promoted their active participation. However, there are still some aspects that need improvement. In the teaching of adjectives for describing differences, some students had difficulty choosing the most appropriate adjectives to accurately describe the characteristics of people. In the future, more practice on nuanced differences between similar adjectives can be added, such as the difference between "generous" and "kind - hearted". Also, during the writing practice on differences, some students' writing was rather monotonous, lacking in - depth description and vivid examples. Teachers can provide more model texts with rich details for students to imitate and learn in the next class. Regarding the teaching of prepositions of place, although the hands - on activity of arranging toys was popular among students, a few students still made mistakes in using prepositions, especially in complex scenes. Teachers can design more complex scenarios for students to practice, such as describing the layout of a supermarket or a park. In general, this class achieved most of the teaching objectives, but continuous improvement in teaching methods and more targeted practice are needed to help students better master the knowledge and skills. 2 / 37 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
