Unit 2 Strong mind-D Learning from past experiences (Writing & Discovery) This unit focuses on the theme of "Strong mind," and this section "Learning from past experiences" specifically guides students to reflect on their past experiences, understand the lessons learned from them, and how these experiences shape their current selves. It combines reading materials, writing tasks, and discussion topics related to past experiences, aiming to improve students' language skills in describing experiences, expressing feelings, and drawing conclusions, while also promoting self - awareness and personal growth. 教学目标 Students will be able to master new words and phrases related to past experiences, such as "recall", "failure", "overcome", "lesson", etc. Students will learn sentence patterns for describing past experiences, like "I once...", "When I was...", "From this experience, I learned that...".

Body: Describe the process of the experience in detail, including what happened, who was involved, and how you felt. Use time - sequence words like "first", "then", "next", "finally" to make the description more logical. Conclusion: Summarize the lesson or the impact of this experience on you, such as "This experience taught me a lot and made me a stronger person." 教学过程 1 Lead - in (5 minutes) Greet the students and show them some pictures on the PPT, such as pictures of a student winning a competition, a child falling off a bike and then getting up, etc. Ask students: "Look at these pictures. Can you recall some of your own past experiences related to these pictures? Share them with your partners for one minute." Invite several students to share their experiences briefly with the whole class. 2 Pre - writing (10 minutes) Present new words and phrases on the PPT. Teach students how to pronounce, explain the meanings, and give examples. Let students read after the teacher several times to practice pronunciation. Show some sentence patterns on the PPT. Explain the usage and have students make sentences with these patterns. For example, for the pattern "I once...", ask students to make their own sentences like "I once went camping in the mountains." Check students' sentences and correct mistakes if there are any. Divide students into groups of four. Give each group a topic card, such as "A difficult exam experience", "An experience of making friends", "A travel experience". Let students in each group discuss the following questions: What happened in this experience? How did you feel at that time? What did you learn from it? The teacher walks around the classroom to guide the discussions. 3 While - writing (15 minutes) Explain the writing structure of writing about past experiences on the PPT. Use an example passage to illustrate the introduction, body, and conclusion parts. Ask students to choose one of their past experiences or the topic they discussed in groups just now to write a short passage. Remind them to use the new words, phrases, and sentence patterns they just learned, and follow the writing structure. The teacher walks around the classroom, providing individual guidance to students, answering their questions, and helping them solve writing problems. 4 Post - writing (10 minutes) Ask students to exchange their writing with their deskmates. Let them read each other's passages and give comments according to the following aspects: Are there any spelling or grammar mistakes? Is the description of the experience clear? Does the passage follow the correct writing structure? Does the conclusion make sense? Invite several students to read their passages aloud to the class. After each reading, ask other students to give feedback. The teacher also gives positive comments and suggestions for improvement. Summarize the key points of this writing class, emphasizing the importance of using correct language, clear description, and logical structure in writing about past experiences. 5 Summary and Homework (5 minutes) Summarize the new words, phrases, sentence patterns, and writing skills learned in this class with students. Assign homework: Ask students to rewrite their writing according to the comments they received, and then write another passage about a different past experience. They should also prepare to share their new passage in the next class. 教学反思 After this class, I need to reflect on the following aspects. In terms of teaching methods, the group discussion in the pre - writing part was quite effective in inspiring students' thinking, but some groups had students who dominated the discussion, while others participated less. In future classes, I should pay more attention to ensuring the equal participation of each student in group activities, such as setting clear roles for each group member. Regarding the teaching content, most students could master the new words and phrases, but some still had difficulties in using the sentence patterns flexibly in writing. I need to design more targeted exercises in the next class to strengthen their practice. In the writing process, some students' descriptions were rather simple and lacked details. I should provide more sample sentences with rich details in future classes to guide them to improve their descriptive ability. Overall, this class has achieved certain teaching objectives, but there are still areas that need to be improved to 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 $$
