For example, "I visited my grandparents yesterday." Past Continuous Tense Formation: Was/were + present participle (verb + -ing). For example, "I was reading a book at 8 o'clock last night." Usage: To describe an action that was in progress at a specific time in the past. It can also be used to set the background for another past action. For example, "While I was walking in the park, I met an old friend." 教学过程 1 Lead - in (5 minutes) Show some pictures of famous people who achieved great success after many failures, such as Thomas Edison, J.K. Rowling, etc. Ask students: "Do you know these people? What difficulties do you think they might have faced before they became successful?" Let students discuss in pairs and share their ideas briefly. This activity aims to arouse students' interest in the topic of perseverance and introduce the theme of the reading passage. 2 Pre - reading (8 minutes) Present new words and phrases on the blackboard or through PPT. Explain their meanings and usages with examples. For example, when teaching "perseverance", say, "Perseverance is very important if you want to achieve your dreams. For instance, Thomas Edison tried thousands of times with perseverance to invent the light bulb." Have students read the new words and phrases aloud several times to ensure correct pronunciation. Then, ask students to predict what the reading passage might be about according to the title "Never give up" and the new words they just learned. Write down their predictions on the blackboard. 3 While - reading (15 minutes) Skimming: Let students quickly read the passage for about 2 minutes to get the general idea. Then ask them to answer the question: "What is the main idea of the passage?" Encourage students to summarize it in one or two sentences. Scanning: Instruct students to read the passage again more carefully and find specific information. Give them some questions, such as "What challenges did the people in the passage face?", "How did they deal with these challenges?" Let students underline the relevant sentences in the text. Detailed Reading: Analyze the passage paragraph by paragraph. Explain difficult sentences and language points. For example, in a sentence like "He kept trying and never gave up even though he faced many setbacks.", explain the usage of "keep doing sth." and "even though" to express concession. After each paragraph analysis, ask students some comprehension questions to check their understanding. 4 Grammar Presentation (10 minutes) After the reading analysis, introduce the grammar part. First, show some sentences from the reading passage that contain simple past tense and past continuous tense, such as "He started his business in 2010." (simple past tense) and "While he was working on his project, he met a lot of difficulties." (past continuous tense). Explain the formation and usage of simple past tense and past continuous tense in detail. Use more examples to illustrate, for example, for simple past tense: "She watched TV last night."; for past continuous tense: "I was cooking dinner when my friend called." Let students compare the two tenses and find out the differences in meaning and usage. Then, give some exercises on the PPT for students to practice, such as filling in the blanks with the correct forms of the verbs in brackets. Check the answers together and explain the reasons. 5 Post - reading and Grammar Consolidation (5 minutes) Divide students into groups of four. Ask each group to discuss and share a story about perseverance in their own lives or someone they know. Each group member should use at least one sentence in simple past tense and one in past continuous tense to describe the story. After the group discussion, ask some groups to come to the front of the class and share their stories with the whole class. Encourage other students to listen carefully and ask questions if they have any. This activity can help students further understand the theme of the passage and consolidate the grammar knowledge. 6 Summary and Homework (2 minutes) Summarize the key points of this class, including the main idea of the reading passage, new words and phrases, and the usage of simple past tense and past continuous tense. Assign homework: Ask students to write a short passage about an experience where they overcame difficulties with perseverance. They should use at least five new words and phrases and a correct mix of simple past tense and past continuous tense. Let students read the passage again at home and mark the sentences they still don't understand, and they can ask questions in the next class. 教学反思 In this class, the use of pictures and real - life examples in the lead - in part successfully attracted students' attention and made them actively participate in the discussion. However, in the future, more diverse ways can be considered to further stimulate students' interest. During the vocabulary teaching, although students had the opportunity to practice pronunciation, more interactive activities like word games could be added to make the learning process more engaging. In the reading part, students gradually mastered different reading skills, but some students still had difficulties in quickly finding relevant information. More targeted training on scanning skills is needed in the following classes. Regarding grammar teaching, the examples were clear, but some students still made mistakes in the exercises. It might be necessary to provide more real - life situations for students to practice the correct usage of simple past tense and past continuous tense. In the group discussion, most students actively participated, but a few students were a bit shy and less involved. In future group activities, more encouragement and guidance should be given to these students to ensure their full participation. 2 / 37 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
