Unit 4 Smart home-A Smart devices (Viewing and listening) This section of "Smart devices (Viewing and listening)" in Unit 4 of the 7th - grade English textbook (Shanghai Education Edition, 2024, 5 - 4 academic system) focuses on smart home devices. It starts with introducing various common smart devices like smart speakers, smart doorbells, and smart thermostats through vivid pictures and simple descriptions. Then, it presents a dialogue or a short passage about how these smart devices are used in daily life, such as using a smart speaker to play music, a smart doorbell to identify visitors, and a smart thermostat to adjust room temperature. The content aims to let students understand the functions and applications of smart devices in modern life, and at the same time, help students master relevant vocabulary and sentence patterns related to smart devices. 教学目标 Students will be able to master the vocabulary related to smart devices, such as "smart speaker", "smart doorbell", "smart thermostat", "appliance", "device", "remote control", etc. Students can understand and use sentence patterns for describing the functions of smart devices, like "We can use... to...", "It can...", "With the help of...". 教学重难点 A. Key Points The vocabulary and phrases related to smart devices. Sentence patterns for expressing the functions of smart devices. Understanding the listening and reading materials about smart devices. B. Difficult Points How to help students use the learned vocabulary and sentence patterns to describe smart devices flexibly in real - life situations. Guide students to understand the principle behind the operation of smart devices in simple English. A. Vocabulary Smart devices: smart speaker (a device that can play music, answer questions, and control other smart home appliances by voice commands) smart doorbell (a doorbell that can send a video or photo of the visitor to your phone) smart thermostat (a device used to adjust and control the temperature of a room automatically) smart camera (a camera that can record videos, detect motion, and be monitored remotely) smart lock (a lock that can be unlocked by a key, a code, or a smartphone) Related words: appliance (a device or machine designed to perform a specific task in the home, such as a fridge, a washing machine) device (a piece of equipment or a machine designed for a particular purpose, especially an electronic one) remote control (a small device used to operate an electronic device from a distance) function (the special purpose or activity for which a thing exists or is used) convenient (easy and quick to do; not causing problems) B. Sentence Patterns We can use a smart speaker to play our favorite music. A smart doorbell can send us a picture of the person at the door. With the help of a smart thermostat, we can keep the room at a comfortable temperature. It is very convenient to control smart devices with a smartphone. 教学过程 A. Warming - up (5 minutes) Greet the students as usual. Show some pictures of modern homes on the PPT. Ask students: "Look at these beautiful homes. What modern things can you see in these homes?" Encourage students to express their opinions, such as "TV", "fridge", "computer", etc. Then lead to the topic of smart home devices. B. Presentation (15 minutes) Vocabulary teaching Show pictures of different smart devices one by one on the PPT, such as a smart speaker, a smart doorbell, etc. While showing the pictures, teach the new words, read them aloud, and ask students to repeat after the teacher several times. Explain the meaning and usage of each word briefly. For example, for "smart speaker", say: "A smart speaker is a very cool device. We can talk to it, and it can play music, tell us the news, and even control other smart appliances in our home." Do a quick word - recognition activity. Show the pictures again and ask students to quickly say the corresponding English words. Sentence pattern teaching Write some sentences about the functions of smart devices on the blackboard, like "We can use a smart speaker to play music." Explain the structure "use... to..." to the students. Let them understand that this structure is used to express the purpose of using something. Give some more examples and ask students to imitate. For example, "We can use a smart doorbell to see who is at the door." Then ask students to make their own sentences using different smart devices. Invite some students to share their sentences with the class. C. Listening (10 minutes) Pre - listening Tell students that they are going to listen to a dialogue about smart devices. Show some pictures related to the dialogue content on the PPT in advance, such as a boy and his father talking in front of a smart thermostat. Ask students to predict what they might hear in the dialogue, for example, "What smart devices might they talk about? What are they going to do with these devices?" While - listening Play the recording of the dialogue for the first time. Ask students to just listen and get a general idea of the content. Play the recording again. This time, ask students to listen carefully and answer some simple questions on the PPT, such as "What smart device are they mainly talking about?" "What can this device do?" Check the answers with the students. Post - listening Divide the students into pairs. Ask them to role - play the dialogue they just heard. One student acts as the father, and the other acts as the son. Encourage them to use their own words appropriately while keeping the main content. Walk around the classroom to offer help and guidance. D. Practice (10 minutes) Group work Divide the students into groups of four. Give each group a set of cards with pictures of different smart devices on one side and their functions described in English on the other side. Ask the students in each group to take turns. One student shows a card with the picture side up, and the other group members need to describe the function of this smart device in English using the learned sentence patterns. Then, turn the card over to check if they are right. After a few rounds, each group selects one of the smart devices and makes a short presentation about it. They should introduce what the device is, what it can do, and why it is convenient. Each group member should say at least one sentence. Class sharing Invite each group to come to the front of the classroom and share their presentation. After each group's presentation, the other students can ask questions if they have any. E. Summary and Homework (5 minutes) Summary Review the key vocabulary and sentence patterns of this class with the students. Ask students to recall the names of different smart devices and how to describe their functions. Summarize the main content of the listening material and the key points in the group work. Homework Ask students to draw a picture of a smart device they like best and write a short passage (about 5 - 8 sentences) to introduce it. They should include what the device is, what it looks like, what it can do, and why they like it. Let students search for more information about smart devices on the Internet or in books and share it with the class next time. 教学反思 In the teaching process, the use of pictures and real - life examples can effectively arouse students' interest in learning, especially in the vocabulary and sentence - pattern presentation part. However, more real - object demonstrations of smart devices, if possible, could make the teaching more vivid and intuitive. During the listening practice, some students still had difficulty in catching the key information. In the future, more listening skills training should be carried out, such as teaching students how to predict the content before listening, and how to focus on key words while listening. The group work and class sharing activities can well mobilize students' enthusiasm for participation and improve their oral English ability. But when arranging group work, it is necessary to pay more attention to the balance of group members' English levels to ensure that every student can actively participate and gain something from it. For the homework assignment, it is a good way to combine drawing and writing, which can not only exercise students' writing ability but also their creativity. However, in the next class, more time should be reserved for students to share their homework, so as to give them more opportunities to communicate and learn from each other. 2 / 37 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 $$
