Ask students to describe what they see in the pictures briefly. T: “Look at these pictures, class. What are these people doing? Who can describe one of the pictures?” Invite several students to answer. This activity can quickly activate students’ prior knowledge about teamwork and arouse their interest in the review class. Listening (10 minutes) Play a short audio about a team project. Before playing, let students read the listening - fill - in - the - blanks task on the screen. The task may include blanks for key words like team members’ names, tasks they are responsible for, and the difficulties they faced. T: “Now, we are going to listen to a passage about a team project. First, look at the blanks on the screen. Try to predict what kind of words might be filled in.” Play the audio for the first time. Students listen and try to get a general idea. Then play it again, and students fill in the blanks. After that, check the answers together. Ask students some follow - up questions based on the content, such as “What do you think they should do to solve the difficulties?” This activity helps students practice their listening skills, especially the ability to catch key information, and also reviews the vocabulary and concepts related to teamwork. Vocabulary Review (10 minutes) Conduct a word - puzzle game. Present a crossword puzzle on the screen with clues related to the vocabulary learned in this unit. For example, the clue for “teamwork” could be “The process of working together as a group to achieve a goal.” Divide students into groups. Each group works together to solve the puzzle. Set a time limit, such as 5 minutes. T: “Now, let’s have a word - puzzle game. Work in your groups to solve the crossword puzzle. The group that finishes first and has the most correct answers wins.” After the time is up, check the answers with the whole class. This game can make the vocabulary review more interesting and engaging, and help students better remember and internalize the words. Grammar Practice (10 minutes) Provide a short story with some blanks. Students need to fill in the blanks with the correct forms of the grammar items learned in this unit, such as using “and,” “but,” or “or” to connect sentences, or using the correct form of “can,” “could,” the simple future tense, or the infinitive. For example: “Yesterday, we planned to have a picnic. We prepared a lot of food ____ we didn’t know the weather would turn bad. We ____ (can) still go if we take umbrellas. We decided ____ (wait) for a while to see if the rain would stop.” Let students work individually first, and then discuss their answers in pairs. Finally, check the answers together and explain the usage of each grammar point. T: “Please look at this story. Fill in the blanks with the correct grammar forms. After you finish, discuss with your partner.” This activity helps students practice using grammar knowledge in context and improve their grammar application ability. Reading Comprehension (10 minutes) Give students a reading passage about a successful team event. The passage can be about a school science project competition that a team won. Set some questions for students to answer after reading, such as “What was the goal of the team?” “How did they cooperate with each other?” “What challenges did they face and how did they overcome them?” Let students read the passage quickly first to get the main idea, and then read it carefully to answer the questions. T: “Read this passage about a successful team event. First, skim through it to know what it is mainly about. Then read it carefully and answer the questions on the screen.” After students finish answering, invite some students to share their answers. This activity improves students’ reading comprehension skills, including understanding the main idea, details, and the ability to analyze and summarize information. 教学反思 Positive Aspects The various activities, such as the picture - description in the warming - up, the listening - fill - in - the - blanks, the word - puzzle game, grammar practice, and reading comprehension, have effectively engaged students in the review process. Students showed great enthusiasm, especially in the word - puzzle game, which made the vocabulary review more interesting. The combination of different language skills training, including listening, speaking, reading, and writing (in the form of filling in the blanks), helped students comprehensively review the knowledge of this unit. Areas for Improvement In the grammar practice part, some students still had difficulty using grammar knowledge flexibly, especially in more complex sentence structures. Maybe more guided practice and real - life examples could be provided in the future. During the group work in the word - puzzle game, some groups did not cooperate effectively. It is necessary to strengthen the guidance on group cooperation skills, such as how to assign tasks within the group and how to communicate better. In the reading comprehension activity, some students had trouble understanding long and complex sentences in the passage. More reading strategies training, like sentence - structure analysis, could be added in the future teaching. 2 / 37 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
