Unit 4 Weather and our lives-A Weather reports (Viewing and listening) This lesson is from Unit 4 “Weather and our lives” in the sixth-grade English textbook of Shanghai Education Edition (Five-four School System, 2024). The main focus is on weather reports through viewing and listening activities. Students will be exposed to various weather conditions described in English, such as sunny, cloudy, rainy, windy, and snowy. They will learn how to understand and extract key information from weather reports, including temperature, weather conditions in different regions, and possible impacts on daily life. By the end of this lesson, students are expected to have a better understanding of how to talk about weather in English and be able to apply this knowledge in real-life communication scenarios. 教学目标 Knowledge Objectives Students will be able to master key vocabulary related to weather, such as “sunny,” “cloudy,” “rainy,” “windy,” “snowy,” “temperature,” “region,” etc. They can understand and use common sentence patterns in weather reports, like “It will be + weather condition + in + region,” “The temperature will be + number + degrees.” Ability Objectives Improve students' listening comprehension skills, enabling them to accurately catch important information from weather reports, such as weather conditions, temperatures, and regions. Develop students' speaking ability, allowing them to describe weather conditions and give simple weather reports in English. Emotional Objectives Cultivate students' interest in learning English by connecting the learning content with real - life weather, making them realize the practicality of English in daily life. Encourage students to pay attention to weather changes and develop an awareness of adapting to different weather conditions. 教学重难点 Key Points Mastery of weather - related vocabulary and sentence patterns. Training students to understand and extract key information from weather reports. Difficult Points Helping students to use the learned vocabulary and sentence patterns fluently and accurately in real - life situations to describe weather and give weather reports. Improving students' listening skills to deal with different accents and speaking speeds in weather reports. Vocabulary Weather adjectives: sunny, cloudy, rainy, windy, snowy, foggy, stormy Related nouns: temperature, degree, region, city, area Sentence Patterns It will be sunny/cloudy/rainy/windy/snowy in... The temperature will be... degrees. There will be a... (storm, fog) in... 教学过程 Warming - up (5 minutes) Greet the students as usual. Then, show some pictures of different weather conditions on the PPT, such as a sunny day with a bright sun, a cloudy day with gray clouds, and a rainy day with raindrops. Ask students: “What can you see in the pictures? Do you like this kind of weather?” Encourage them to express their opinions briefly in English. Design intention: This activity can quickly arouse students' interest and recall their prior knowledge of weather in Chinese, laying a foundation for the following learning of English expressions about weather. Presentation (10 minutes) Teach new vocabulary: Present each weather - related word on the PPT one by one, accompanied by vivid pictures. For example, when teaching “sunny,” show a picture of a clear blue sky with the sun shining brightly. Read the word aloud, “sunny /ˈsʌni/,” and ask students to repeat after you several times. Then, explain the meaning in simple English, “When it is sunny, the sun is shining brightly, and the sky is usually blue.” Do the same for other words like “cloudy,” “rainy,” “windy,” “snowy.” After teaching the adjectives, introduce nouns like “temperature” and “degree.” Show a picture of a thermometer and explain, “We use the word 'temperature' to talk about how hot or cold it is. And 'degree' is used to measure the temperature. For example, 25 degrees.” Teach sentence patterns: Write the sentence pattern “It will be + weather condition + in + region” on the blackboard. Use examples like “It will be sunny in Shanghai tomorrow.” Explain that we use this sentence to describe the weather in a certain place in the future. Let students practice making sentences with different weather conditions and regions they know. Similarly, introduce the sentence pattern “The temperature will be + number + degrees.” For example, “The temperature will be 20 degrees in Beijing.” Ask students to make their own sentences. Design intention: By presenting new words and sentence patterns with the help of pictures and simple explanations, students can understand and remember them more easily. The practice of making sentences allows students to start using the new knowledge actively. Listening (10 minutes) Play a short weather report audio for the first time. Before playing, tell students to listen carefully and try to catch the main idea, such as what the overall weather situation is like. After playing, ask some general questions, like “What was the weather like in general in this report?” Play the audio again. This time, ask students to listen more carefully and take notes of the key information, including the weather conditions in different regions and the temperatures. After the second listening, ask students to share the information they got. Write the correct information on the blackboard. Design intention: The first listening helps students get a general understanding of the weather report, and the second listening trains them to extract specific and detailed information, which gradually improves their listening comprehension ability. Viewing (10 minutes) Show a video of a weather report. The video can be from a local TV station's weather forecast program. Before playing, give students some tasks, such as “Find out which regions are mentioned in the video and what the weather will be like there.” After playing the video, ask students to work in pairs to discuss the answers to the tasks. Then, invite some pairs to share their findings with the whole class. Design intention: The viewing activity not only further strengthens students' listening skills but also allows them to combine visual and auditory information, which is more in line with the real - life situation of getting weather information. The pair - work discussion promotes students' communication and cooperation skills. Practice (5 minutes) Divide students into groups of four. Each group is given a set of cards with different regions written on them. Students take turns to pick a card and give a weather report for that region, using the learned vocabulary and sentence patterns. For example, if a student picks a card with “Guangzhou,” he/she can say, “It will be rainy in Guangzhou. The temperature will be 23 degrees.” Other group members can ask questions or make comments. Design intention: This group - based practice activity provides students with more opportunities to speak English in a simulated real - life situation, which helps them improve their speaking ability and confidence. Summary (3 minutes) Summarize the key points of this lesson with the students. Review the new vocabulary related to weather, such as “sunny,” “cloudy,” etc., and the important sentence patterns like “It will be... in...” and “The temperature will be... degrees.” Emphasize the importance of understanding and using weather reports in daily life. Design intention: The summary helps students review and consolidate the knowledge they have learned in this lesson, making the knowledge system more complete in their minds. Homework (2 minutes) Ask students to watch a weather report on TV or online tonight and write down the weather conditions and temperatures of three cities. Design intention: This homework assignment can help students further practice listening to weather reports and also make them pay more attention to real - life weather information, strengthening the connection between classroom learning and daily life. 教学反思 Positive Aspects The use of pictures, audio, and video in the teaching process can effectively attract students' attention and make the learning content more vivid and interesting. For example, when teaching new vocabulary, the vivid pictures can help students understand and remember the words quickly. In the listening and viewing activities, the real - life weather report materials can let students experience the practical application of English in a more authentic way. The group - work and pair - work activities can actively promote students' participation in class. Students can communicate with each other in English, which not only improves their speaking ability but also trains their cooperation and communication skills. Areas for Improvement Some students may still have difficulties in understanding the weather reports, especially when the speaker has a fast speaking speed or an unfamiliar accent. In the future, more listening practice with different accents and speaking speeds can be provided to help students adapt better. During the group - work practice, some students may be too shy to speak English actively. Teachers need to encourage these students more and create a more relaxed and supportive atmosphere to boost their confidence in speaking English. In terms of time management, the practice part may need more time to ensure that every student has enough opportunities to practice giving weather reports. In the next teaching, the time allocation for each part can be adjusted more carefully. 2 / 37 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
