Unit 2 Strong mind-A Accepting who you are (Viewing and listening)教学设计 2025-2026学年沪教版（五四学制）英语七年级上册

Unit 2 Strong mind-A Accepting who you are (Viewing and listening) This unit focuses on the theme of "Strong mind", and the part of "Accepting who you are" mainly contains a viewing and listening material. Through watching a video or listening to a dialogue related to students' self - acceptance and dealing with challenges, students are guided to understand the importance of accepting oneself, including one's appearance, character, and abilities. The content is closely related to students' daily life, aiming to arouse their resonance and help them build a positive self - concept. 教学目标 Students can master the new words and phrases related to self - acceptance, such as "unique", "confident", "imperfection", "be proud of", etc. Students can understand the key sentences and expressions used to describe one's self - perception and acceptance in the viewing and listening materials, like "I used to be ashamed of my height, but now I realize it makes me unique." 教学重难点 1.

Warming - up (5 minutes) Greet the students and show them some pictures of famous people with different appearances and personalities, such as Albert Einstein (known for his intelligence and unique appearance) and Audrey Hepburn (famous for her elegance and kindness). Ask students: "What do you think makes these people special?" Let students discuss in pairs for about 2 minutes and then invite some pairs to share their ideas. Through this activity, arouse students' interest in the class and lead in the theme of "uniqueness", which is related to self - acceptance. 2. Pre - viewing/Pre - listening (10 minutes) Present the new words and phrases on the blackboard or using a PPT. Explain the meanings and pronunciations of the words one by one. For example, when teaching "unique", show some pictures of unique animals like the platypus and say, "Look at this animal. It is unique. It has some features that no other animals have." After explaining the words, play a simple word - guessing game. Describe a word in English and let students guess which word it is. For example, "This word means believing in yourself. What is it?" (Answer: confident) Then, introduce the background information of the viewing and listening materials briefly. Tell students that they will watch or listen to a story about a student who has some troubles at first but finally learns to accept himself. Let students predict what problems the student may have according to the title and the pictures related to the materials (if available). This can help students have a preliminary understanding of the content and improve their anticipation for the viewing and listening. 3. While - viewing/While - listening (15 minutes) First viewing/listening: Play the video or audio of the material for the first time. Let students watch or listen carefully and try to get the general idea of the story. After that, ask some general questions, such as "What is the main idea of this story?" "Who are the main characters?" Let students answer briefly. Second viewing/listening: Play the material again. This time, ask students to listen or watch more carefully and take notes of the key information, such as the problems the main character faced, the reasons for his/her troubles, and how he/she overcame them. After that, organize students to share their notes in small groups of 4 - 5 people. Then, invite some groups to report their findings to the whole class. During this process, the teacher can pause the video or audio at some key points to explain some difficult sentences or cultural backgrounds that may affect students' understanding. For example, if there is a sentence like "He used to be laughed at because of his stutter, but he didn't give up." Pause and explain the phrase "be laughed at" and the meaning of "stutter". 4. Post - viewing/Post - listening (10 minutes) Organize a group discussion. Divide students into groups of 4 - 5. Give each group a discussion topic related to self - acceptance, such as "Have you ever had a similar experience like the main character? How did you deal with it?" or "What can we do to help our classmates who have difficulties in accepting themselves?" Let students discuss in groups for about 5 minutes. After the group discussion, invite some groups to share their ideas with the whole class. Encourage students to use the learned words and expressions in their speeches. For example, a student may say, "I used to be very shy and looked down upon myself. But then I joined a club and made some friends. They always encouraged me and now I am more confident. I think we should be proud of ourselves and not care too much about what others think." Then, summarize the key points of the discussion, emphasize the importance of self - acceptance, and encourage students to apply what they have learned to their daily life. 5. Summary and Homework (5 minutes) Summarize the new words, phrases and key sentence patterns learned in this class on the blackboard. Review the main idea of the viewing and listening materials and the importance of self - acceptance with students. Assign homework: Ask students to write a short passage about "Myself: Accepting My Uniqueness", using at least 5 new words and phrases learned in this class. Encourage students to share their writing with their parents or friends at home and listen to their opinions. 教学反思 After teaching this class, I need to reflect on the following aspects: Teaching Objectives: Whether the teaching objectives have been achieved. Judging from students' performance in class, most students have mastered the new words and phrases, and can understand the main idea of the viewing and listening materials. However, in terms of the emotional objective, although students can express their views on self - acceptance in class, it is still difficult to determine whether they have really internalized the concept of self - acceptance. Maybe more follow - up activities in the future are needed to help them strengthen this positive attitude. Teaching Process: The warming - up activity successfully aroused students' interest, but the time for group discussion in the post - viewing/post - listening part may be a bit short. Some students did not have enough time to fully express their ideas. In future teaching, I should better control the time allocation to ensure that each activity can be carried out effectively. Student Participation: Most students actively participated in class activities, but there were still a few students who were relatively passive, especially those who were less confident in speaking English. In the future, I need to design more activities to encourage these students to participate, such as pairing them with more active students in group work and giving them more opportunities to express simple ideas first. Teaching Methods: The combination of pre - viewing/pre - listening, while - viewing/while - listening and post - viewing/post - listening teaching methods is relatively effective. However, for the teaching of new words, I can try more vivid ways, such as using more real - life examples or creating short skits to help students better understand and remember the words. By reflecting on these aspects, I can adjust my teaching strategies and methods in the next class to improve the teaching quality and better meet the learning needs of students. 2 / 37 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
