Unit 1 Let's Be Friends!-Wrapping Up the Topic-Project
This unit centers around the theme of "making friends." The project in this unit, "Making a name card of your best friends," serves as a comprehensive practice that integrates various language skills.

Then ask: "Do you know the functions of name cards " Encourage students to share their ideas. The teacher can summarize that name cards can help us know about a person's basic information quickly.
B. Pre - project (10 minutes)
Activity 1: Read and Analyze
Hand out a sample name card to each student. The name card can be like this:
My Best Friend
Name: Zhang Hua
Age: 13

Let students read the name card carefully and then answer the following questions in pairs:

How old is he/she
Where is he/she from
What does he/she like
What does he/she look like or what's his/her character
Invite several pairs of students to share their answers. While students are answering, the teacher can write down the key sentence patterns on the blackboard, such as "His/Her name is...", "He/She is from...", "He/She likes...", "He/She is...".
Activity 2: Key Points Explanation
Explain the new words and phrases related to the name card, such as "card", "know", "like to do sth." through examples and pictures. For example, show a picture of a card and say "This is a card. We can make a name card like this."
Review the usage of be - verbs and personal pronouns. Use some simple sentences like "I am a student. You are my friend. He is tall. She is kind. They are from the same city." to remind students of the correct forms.
Emphasize the capitalization rules. Write some sentences on the blackboard with wrong capitalization, and ask students to find out the mistakes and correct them. For example, "i am from beijing." Students should correct it to "I am from Beijing."
C. While - project (15 minutes)
Activity 3: Design Your Name Card
Distribute blank name cards and colored pens to students. Let them design a name card for their best friends. They need to fill in the name, age, home, likes, looks/character on the name card. At the same time, they can draw a simple picture of their friends beside the name card.
The teacher walks around the classroom, offering help and guidance. Remind students to use the correct English expressions and pay attention to the capitalization and grammar.
Activity 4: Group Introduction
Divide students into groups of 4 - 5. In each group, students take turns to introduce their best friends based on the name cards they made. They should use the sentence patterns learned before, such as "This is my best friend. His/Her name is... He/She is from... He/She likes... He/She is...".
Other group members can listen carefully and ask some questions if they have any doubts. For example, "Why does he/she like playing basketball " The teacher can join some groups to listen and give suggestions.
D. Post - project (10 minutes)
Activity 5: Class Presentation
Select several groups to send representatives to the front of the class to introduce their friends' name cards. The representatives should speak loudly and clearly. After each presentation, the teacher and other students can give some comments and applause.
The teacher can use this opportunity to review and summarize the key points again, such as correct grammar usage, complete information on the name card, and clear oral expression.
Activity 6: Summary
Summarize the content of this class with students. Review the new words, phrases, sentence patterns, and grammar points related to making and introducing name cards.

E. Homework Assignment (5 minutes)
Ask students to write a short passage about their best friends at home, using the information on the name cards. The passage should include at least 5 sentences.
Let students make a name card for a famous person they like and bring it to class next time to share with their classmates.
教学反思
After this class, I need to reflect on the following aspects:
Teaching Process: The overall teaching process was smooth, but the time allocation in group activities may need to be adjusted. Some groups spent too much time discussing, which led to a relatively short time for class presentations. In the future, I should set more specific time limits for each activity to ensure that all parts of the class can be completed fully.
Student Participation: Most students actively participated in the class, especially in the name - card design and group introduction. However, a few shy students were still reluctant to speak in public. I need to find more ways to encourage them, such as giving more praise and providing more individual guidance.
Knowledge Mastery: From students' answers and presentations, it can be seen that most students have basically mastered the new words, phrases, and sentence patterns. But there are still some students who made mistakes in grammar, especially the use of be - verbs. I should design more targeted exercises in the next class to help them strengthen this part of knowledge.
Teaching Methods: The methods of using sample name cards, group work, and class presentations are effective in stimulating students' interest and improving their language skills. But I can also try to introduce more real - life examples or multimedia resources to make the class more vivid and attractive.
