Unit 11 Rules Matter! Exploring the Topic Theme Reading 教学设计 -2024-2025学年仁爱科普版英语七年级下册

Unit 11 Rules Matter!-Exploring the Topic-Theme Reading This unit focuses on the theme of "Rules Matter!" It explores various rules in different aspects of life, such as school rules, family rules, and public rules. The reading materials mainly present different situations related to rules, aiming to help students understand the importance of rules and how to follow them. Through reading, students will learn new vocabulary, sentence structures, and improve their reading skills, while also reflecting on the significance of rules in their daily lives. 教学目标 A. Knowledge Objectives Students will be able to master the key vocabulary related to rules, such as "must, should, have to, can, can't, mustn't", and some common nouns like "rule, sign, library, classroom" etc. Students are expected to understand and use the following sentence patterns: "We must/should/have to...", "You can't/mustn't...", "What rules do we have...?" Enable students to recognize and understand the reading materials about rules, including grasping the main idea, details, and some implied information. B. Ability Objectives Improve students' reading skills, such as skimming for the main idea, scanning for specific information, and inferring meaning from context. Develop students' ability to express their opinions about rules in English, both orally and in writing. Cultivate students' logical thinking ability by analyzing different rule - related situations. C. Emotional Objectives Raise students' awareness of the importance of rules and help them form a sense of compliance with rules in their daily lives. Encourage students to respect and follow rules, and promote their sense of social responsibility. 教学重难点 A. Key Points Key vocabulary and sentence patterns related to rules. Comprehending the reading materials about rules and extracting relevant information accurately. Training students' reading skills and enabling them to use the learned language to talk about rules. B. Difficult Points Distinguishing the differences in meaning and usage among "must, should, have to, can, can't, mustn't". Helping students understand the deep - seated meaning of rules and how to apply them in different real - life situations. Guiding students to express their own views on rules comprehensively and fluently. A. Vocabulary Must, should, have to, can, can't, mustn't Must: Expresses strong obligation or necessity. For example, "We must wear uniforms at school." Should: Suggests advice or moral obligation. For example, "You should help your parents with housework." Have to: Indicates external obligation. For example, "I have to get up early every day because of the school bus." Can: Expresses ability or permission. For example, "I can play basketball well." "Can I have a glass of water?" Can't: Means inability or prohibition. For example, "I can't speak French." "You can't run in the classroom." Mustn't: Signifies strong prohibition. For example, "You mustn't smoke here." Nouns related to rules: rule, sign, library, classroom, hallway, playground, traffic, etc. B. Sentence Patterns Expressing obligation: We must/should/have to + verb - base form. For example, "We must keep quiet in the library." "You should do your homework on time." "He has to wear a helmet when riding a bike." Expressing prohibition: You can't/mustn't + verb - base form. For example, "You can't eat in class." "You mustn't park here." Asking about rules: What rules do we have...? For example, "What rules do we have in the school?" 教学过程 A. Warming - up (5 minutes) Greet the students as usual. Show some pictures of different signs, such as "No smoking", "Keep quiet", "No parking" on the PPT. Ask students to look at the pictures and guess what they mean. Encourage students to speak out in English if they know. For example, "This sign means we can't smoke here." B. Pre - reading (10 minutes) Brainstorming Write the word "Rules" on the blackboard. Then, ask students to think about the rules they know in different places, like school, home, and public places. Divide students into groups of four to discuss and write down as many rules as possible. After a few minutes, invite some groups to share their ideas. Write the rules they mention on the blackboard, such as "We must listen to the teacher carefully in class.", "You should clean your room at home.", "We can't litter in the park." Vocabulary teaching Teach the new vocabulary related to rules on the blackboard or through flashcards. Explain the meaning and usage of each word briefly. For example, when teaching "must", give more examples like "We must follow the traffic rules when crossing the road." and compare it with "have to". Let students make sentences with these new words to ensure they understand. C. While - reading (20 minutes) Skimming Present the reading passage about school rules on the PPT. Ask students to read the passage quickly (about 2 - 3 minutes) without paying too much attention to details. Then, ask them to answer the following question: "What is the main idea of this passage?" (The main idea is to introduce some important school rules.) Scanning Ask students to read the passage again, this time more carefully. Let them scan for specific information and answer some detailed questions on the PPT, such as "What are the rules in the library?", "Can students eat in the classroom?", "What should students do when they see the teacher?" etc. Give students about 5 - 7 minutes to read and answer. Then, check the answers together. Intensive reading Read the passage sentence by sentence with students. Explain some difficult sentences and new grammar points. For example, if there is a sentence "You mustn't bring food and drinks into the computer room.", explain the usage of "mustn't" here. Analyze the sentence structure and let students imitate to make similar sentences. Also, ask students to find out the key words and phrases in each paragraph and summarize the main idea of each paragraph. D. Post - reading (10 minutes) Group discussion Divide students into groups again. Give each group a topic related to rules, such as "Which rule do you think is the most important in school and why?" or "If you could make a new rule for your class, what would it be?" Let students discuss in groups for about 5 minutes. Then, invite some groups to report their discussion results to the whole class. Encourage other students to ask questions or give their own opinions. Writing Ask students to write a short passage about the rules in their homes. They can first list the rules in their minds and then start writing. Remind them to use the vocabulary and sentence patterns they have learned in this class. Give students about 5 minutes to write. After they finish, ask some students to read their passages aloud, and give some simple comments, such as praising good expressions and correcting grammar mistakes. 教学反思 In this class, the warming - up activity with pictures of signs effectively attracted students' attention and quickly led them into the topic of rules. However, in the future, more real - life examples can be added to make it more vivid. During the pre - reading brainstorming, students actively participated and came up with many rules. But some students had difficulty expressing their ideas accurately in English. In the following classes, more oral English training should be carried out to improve their language - expressing ability. The while - reading part was well - organized, and students mastered the reading skills of skimming, scanning, and intensive reading to a certain extent. However, for some students with weak English foundations, they still had trouble understanding some long and complex sentences. More individual guidance is needed in the future. The group discussion and writing in the post - reading part gave students opportunities to express their opinions and practice writing. But the time was a bit tight, and some students didn't have enough time to fully develop their ideas. Next time, the time allocation can be adjusted more reasonably. Overall, through this class, students have a better understanding of rules and have made some progress in language learning, but there are still areas that need improvement in teaching methods and strategies. 2 / 37 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
