Difficult Points Enable students to apply the knowledge of coordinating conjunctions flexibly in writing and speaking to make their expressions more logical.

Reading Vocabulary Review and learn new words related to basketball and teamwork, such as "championship", "final", "coach", "teammate", "effort", "score", etc. Teach students how to guess the meaning of unfamiliar words from the context. Reading Strategies Skimming: Let students quickly read the passage to get the main idea, such as who the story is about, what the main event is. Scanning: Guide students to read the passage carefully to find specific information, like the difficulties the team faced and how they overcame them. B. Grammar Coordinating Conjunctions "and": Used to connect words, phrases, or clauses that have similar or related meanings. For example, "He is tall and strong." "They played basketball and had a great time." "but": Expresses a contrast. For example, "She is rich but not happy." "The team lost the game, but they didn't give up." "or": Used to present choices. For example, "Do you want tea or coffee?" "You can go to the park or stay at home." "so": Indicates a result. For example, "It rained heavily, so we didn't go out." "He worked hard, so he passed the exam." 教学过程 A. Warming - up (5 minutes) Show some pictures of famous sports teams winning championships, such as the Chinese women's volleyball team. Ask students: "Do you know these teams? What do you think makes them successful?" Lead in the topic of team spirit and write "Team spirit" on the blackboard. B. Pre - reading (5 minutes) Present some new words and phrases related to the reading passage on the PPT, such as "championship", "final", "coach", etc. Teach students how to pronounce and understand these words. Let students look at the title and the pictures in the reading passage. Ask them to predict what the passage might be about. For example, "From the title 'A Great Team Victory' and the pictures of basketball players, what do you think this story will talk about?" C. While - reading (20 minutes) Skimming (3 minutes) Let students quickly read the passage within 3 minutes. Then ask them to answer the following questions: What is the main idea of the passage? Who are the main characters? Invite several students to share their answers. Scanning (7 minutes) Ask students to read the passage carefully again and answer some detailed questions on the PPT, such as: What was the problem with the team at first? How did the coach encourage the team? What was the final result of the game? After students finish reading, ask them to work in pairs to discuss the answers. Then check the answers together. Detailed Reading (10 minutes) Analyze the passage sentence by sentence. Explain some difficult sentences, for example: "Our coach, however, had other ideas." Explain the function of "however" here. Ask students to find sentences with coordinating conjunctions in the passage. Analyze how these conjunctions are used to connect different parts of the sentences. For example, in the sentence "We lost the first game, but we didn't lose heart.", explain why "but" is used here to show the contrast between losing the game and not losing heart. D. Grammar in use (10 minutes) Presentation (3 minutes) Use some simple examples on the PPT to review the four coordinating conjunctions "and", "but", "or", "so". For example: "I like apples and bananas." (showing connection) "He is smart but lazy." (showing contrast) "You can choose red or blue." (showing choice) "It was late, so I went to bed." (showing result) Practice (5 minutes) Give students some sentences with blanks. Let them fill in the blanks with the correct coordinating conjunctions. For example: I wanted to go shopping, ______ it rained heavily. You can come with me ______ stay here. She is kind ______ helpful. He studied hard, ______ he got good grades. Ask students to work individually first, and then check the answers in pairs. Group Activity (2 minutes) Divide students into groups of four. Ask each group to make up five sentences using different coordinating conjunctions. Then each group chooses one representative to share their sentences with the whole class. E. Summary and Homework (5 minutes) Summary (2 minutes) Summarize the main content of the reading passage, emphasizing the importance of team spirit. Review the usage of coordinating conjunctions. Homework (3 minutes) Ask students to write a short passage about a team activity they participated in, using at least three coordinating conjunctions. Let students read the passage again after class to consolidate their understanding. 教学反思 After this class, students should have a better understanding of the reading passage about team spirit and master the usage of coordinating conjunctions to a certain extent. However, there are still some aspects that need improvement. In the reading part, some students may still have difficulties in understanding long and complex sentences. In the future, more training on sentence analysis should be provided. During the grammar practice, although most students can fill in the blanks correctly, some students may not be able to use coordinating conjunctions flexibly in their own writing. More writing exercises and individual guidance are needed. In terms of the emotional goal, more real - life examples and in - depth discussions could be added to make students truly internalize the concept of team spirit. Overall, continuous adjustment and improvement of teaching methods are necessary 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 $$
