Unit 2 The World of Art Preparing for the Topic Function 教学设计 2025-2026学年仁爱科普版英语八年级上册

Unit 2 The World of Art-Preparing for the Topic-Function This section of "Function" in Unit 2 of the Ren'ai Science Edition English textbook for Grade 8 focuses on helping students learn to express their weekend art show plans and use exclamatory sentences. Through listening, speaking, and pair work activities, students will practice relevant sentence patterns and improve their language application ability in real - life scenarios related to art. The content is closely related to students' daily lives and the topic of art, which can arouse students' interest and enthusiasm for learning. 教学目标 Students will be able to master sentence patterns for expressing weekend plans, such as "I am going to...", "I plan to...", "I will...", "I'd like to...". Students can understand and use exclamatory sentences correctly, including "How + adj./adv. + (主语 + 谓语)!" and "What + (a/an) + adj. + n. + (主语 + 谓语)!" 教学重难点 1 Key Points The usage of sentence patterns for expressing weekend plans and exclamatory sentences. How to guide students to use these sentence patterns accurately in real - life situations. 2 Difficult Points Helping students distinguish and correctly use different forms of exclamatory sentences, especially the choice between "How" and "What". Encouraging students to think independently and creatively when making weekend art show plans, and expressing their ideas vividly in English. 1 Sentence Patterns for Expressing Weekend Plans I am going to... Example: I am going to participate in the school art show this weekend. Usage: It is used to express one's intention or plan to do something in the near future. I plan to... Example: I plan to visit an art exhibition with my friends. Usage: It emphasizes the pre - arranged plan. I will... Example: I will perform a dance at the art show. Usage: It can express a decision made at the moment of speaking or a prediction about the future. I'd like to... Example: I'd like to draw a picture of my favorite scene. Usage: It shows one's preference or wish to do something. 2 Exclamatory Sentences How + adj./adv. + (主语 + 谓语)! Example: How beautiful the painting is! (adj.) Example: How fast he runs! (adv.) Usage: "How" is used to modify adjectives or adverbs, emphasizing the degree of the quality or action. What + (a/an) + adj. + n. + (主语 + 谓语)! Example: What a wonderful concert it is! (singular countable noun) Example: What beautiful flowers they are! (plural countable noun) Example: What delicious food it is! (uncountable noun) Usage: "What" is used to modify nouns, expressing strong emotions about the thing described by the noun. 教学过程 1 Warming - up (5 minutes) Greet the students as usual. Show some pictures of famous art works, such as the Mona Lisa, and ask students some simple questions like "Do you know this painting?" "What do you think of it?" to arouse students' interest in art and lead in the topic of the class. 2 Presentation (10 minutes) Sentence Patterns for Weekend Plans Write the four sentence patterns "I am going to...", "I plan to...", "I will...", "I'd like to..." on the blackboard. Give some examples for each pattern as shown in the knowledge list. Then, ask students to read the examples aloud several times to get familiar with the sentence structures. Explain the differences and usages of these patterns briefly. Exclamatory Sentences Present some exclamatory sentences on the PPT, including both "How" - type and "What" - type sentences. For example, "How amazing the sculpture is!" and "What an interesting story it is!". Analyze the structures of the two types of exclamatory sentences with students. Underline the key parts (the part modified by "How" or "What") in different colors to make it clear for students to understand. 3 Listening Practice (10 minutes) Activity 2 in the textbook: Play the recording of the conversation for students to listen. Before listening, tell students to pay attention to the exclamatory sentences in the conversation. After the first listening, ask students to answer some general questions, such as "Who are talking in the conversation?" "What are they mainly talking about?". Play the recording again. This time, ask students to complete the exclamatory sentences in Activity 2. Check the answers together. Activity 3 in the textbook: Play the recording again. Let students listen carefully and match the names with the activities. After that, check the answers and ask some students to retell the main ideas of the conversation according to the matching results. 4 Pair Work (15 minutes) Activity 4 in the textbook: Suppose students want to take part in their school art show. Divide students into pairs. Each pair should talk about what they would like to do and how they will do it. They need to use the sentence patterns for expressing weekend plans that they have just learned. Walk around the classroom to monitor the pair work. Offer help and guidance when necessary, such as correcting students' pronunciation or grammar mistakes. After pairs have finished their conversations, invite several pairs to come to the front of the classroom and act out their conversations. Encourage other students to listen carefully and give some simple comments, like "I like their ideas" or "They speak very fluently". 5 Summary and Homework (5 minutes) Summary Summarize the key points of this class with students, including the sentence patterns for expressing weekend plans and the usage of exclamatory sentences. Ask students to recall and repeat some important examples. Homework Ask students to write a short passage about their weekend art plans. They should use at least three sentence patterns for expressing plans and two exclamatory sentences. Require students to prepare some materials (such as pictures, brochures) about their favorite art forms for the next class. 教学反思 After this class, students generally showed a high level of enthusiasm for the topic of art and weekend plans. Through various activities, most students have a better understanding of the sentence patterns for expressing weekend plans and exclamatory sentences. However, there are still some problems that need to be improved. In the teaching process, some students had difficulty in using exclamatory sentences correctly, especially in choosing between "How" and "What". In the future, more exercises and real - life examples should be provided to help them master this grammar point better. During the pair work, although most students actively participated, a few students were relatively passive. In the next class, more attention should be paid to these students to encourage their active participation and improve their cooperation ability. In addition, the time for students to show their pair work results was a bit short. In the future, more time can be allocated to ensure that more students have the opportunity to show their work and get feedback from their classmates and teachers. Overall, based on the problems found in this class, corresponding adjustments and improvements will be made in the subsequent teaching 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 $$
