Unit 2 Rules around us-A Signs and rules (Viewing and listening) This section of Unit 2 in the Shanghai Education Edition (Five - Four Academic System, 2024) English textbook for Grade Six focuses on "Signs and rules". Through viewing and listening activities, students will be exposed to various signs in different public places and the rules associated with them. The content aims to help students recognize common signs, understand their meanings, and learn to follow rules in daily life. It also provides opportunities for students to develop their listening skills, such as identifying key information, understanding instructions related to signs, and enhancing their oral communication ability by discussing signs and rules. 教学目标 Students will be able to recognize and pronounce the words related to signs and rules, such as "no smoking", "no littering", "entrance", "exit", "push", "pull", etc. They can understand the meaning of common signs and use the corresponding expressions to describe them. For example, "The sign means we can't smoke here." Master the key sentence patterns for talking about signs and rules, like "What does this sign mean?", "We must/should/shouldn't... according to the sign." 教学重难点 A. Key Points The recognition and understanding of common signs and their corresponding English expressions. The usage of key sentence patterns for discussing signs and rules. Training students' listening skills to understand information about signs and rules. B. Difficult Points Helping students distinguish between similar signs and accurately explain their meanings. For example, differentiating between "no entry" and "no admittance". Guiding students to use the learned knowledge to describe signs and rules comprehensively and fluently in real - life situations. Making students deeply understand the significance of following rules and internalize this awareness. Vocabulary Signs: no smoking, no littering, no parking, no entry, no admittance, exit, entrance, push, pull, emergency exit, wet floor, etc. Verbs related to rules: must, should, shouldn't, can, can't Sentence Patterns What does this sign mean?

Lead - in (5 minutes) Greet the students as usual. Show some pictures of different public places, such as a park, a library, a hospital, and a cinema. Ask students: "Boys and girls, look at these pictures. What places are they? And can you think of any rules in these places?" Let students discuss in pairs and then share their ideas. This activity can activate students' prior knowledge and arouse their interest in the topic. B. Presentation (15 minutes) Vocabulary Teaching Show some common signs one by one on the PPT, such as "no smoking", "no littering", "exit". Teach students to read the English expressions of these signs. For example, when showing the "no smoking" sign, say: "Look at this sign. It's a very common sign. We read it as 'no smoking'. Repeat after me, no smoking." Let students read several times to ensure they can pronounce correctly. Explain the meaning of each sign in simple English. For the "no littering" sign, say: "This sign means we can't throw rubbish everywhere. We should keep the place clean." Do a quick review. Point to different signs randomly and ask students to say the English expressions and meanings. Listening Activity Tell students: "Now, let's listen to a dialogue. In the dialogue, two friends are walking in a shopping mall and they see many signs. Listen carefully and see what signs they talk about." Play the listening material for the first time. Students just listen without taking notes. After that, ask some general questions, such as "Where are the two people?" "What are they doing?" Play the listening material again. This time, ask students to listen carefully and write down the signs they hear. Then check the answers together. Play the listening material for the third time. Ask students to listen and complete a table about the signs. The table may include columns like "sign", "meaning", and "rules related to the sign". For example, if the sign "no food and drink" is mentioned, students need to write in the "meaning" column: "We can't eat or drink here", and in the "rules related to the sign" column: "We should put away our food and drinks." C. Practice (15 minutes) Group Work - Sign Description Divide students into groups of four. Give each group a set of cards with different signs on them. Each group member takes one card. Students need to describe the sign on their card to their group members without showing the card. They should use the sentence patterns they have learned, like "The sign I have means we can't... We should...". Group members guess what the sign is. After everyone in the group has described their signs, the group can discuss and summarize the common rules in different public places according to the signs they have. Role - play Set up some real - life scenarios, such as a park, a subway station, and a school. Ask students to choose a scenario they like. In each scenario group, students play different roles, like a passer - by, a cleaner, a security guard. They need to use the knowledge of signs and rules to create a short dialogue. For example, in the park scenario, the cleaner may say to the passer - by: "Look at that sign. It says 'no trampling on the grass'. You shouldn't walk on the grass." The passer - by answers: "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't notice the sign." Ask several groups to come to the front of the class and perform their role - plays. The rest of the students watch and can ask questions or give comments after the performance. D. Summary (7 minutes) Review the key vocabulary about signs and rules with students. Write the important words on the blackboard and ask students to read them together. Summarize the key sentence patterns for talking about signs and rules. Invite some students to make sentences using these patterns to check their understanding. Emphasize the importance of following rules in daily life. Ask students: "Why do we need to follow these rules? What will happen if we don't follow them?" Let students share their thoughts. E. Homework (3 minutes) Ask students to draw five different signs they know and write the English expressions and meanings below each sign. They can also add a short sentence about the rules related to the sign. Require students to observe the signs around them when they go home or go out. Try to find some new signs and share them with the class in the next lesson. 教学反思 Positive Aspects The lead - in activity effectively engaged students and connected their prior knowledge with the new topic, making it easier for them to get into the learning state. The use of pictures, listening materials, and group work activities provided multiple learning channels for students. It helped different types of learners, such as visual learners, auditory learners, and kinesthetic learners, to participate actively in the class. For example, in the group work of sign description, students who were good at speaking got the chance to show their language skills, while those who were more visual - oriented could understand the signs better through others' descriptions. The role - play activity was very popular among students. It simulated real - life situations, allowing students to use the learned knowledge in a practical context. This not only improved their language ability but also enhanced their understanding of the importance of signs and rules in daily life. Areas for Improvement In the vocabulary teaching part, although students learned the signs' expressions and meanings, the way of presentation could be more diverse. For example, instead of just showing pictures on the PPT, some real - life objects or videos related to signs could be used to make the learning more vivid. During the listening practice, some students still had difficulty catching all the key information. Maybe more pre - listening guidance should be given, such as teaching some key words or phrases in advance to help them better understand the listening material. In the summary part, the time could be better managed. Some students' sharing about the importance of rules was a bit rushed. Next time, more time should be allocated to let students fully express their thoughts and have a deeper discussion on this topic. 2 / 37 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
