Lead - in (5 minutes) Show some pictures of different festivals, such as the Spring Festival, the Mid - Autumn Festival, and the Dragon Boat Festival. Ask students to identify the festivals and briefly describe what they know about them in Chinese. Then specifically focus on the pictures of the Dragon Boat Festival, such as people making zongzi, dragon boat races, and ask students, "Do you know what festival this is? What activities do people usually do during this festival?" 2. New Words Teaching (8 minutes) Present the new words one by one on the PPT. For each word, show its pronunciation, part of speech, and an example sentence. Let students read the words after the teacher several times, paying attention to the pronunciation. Use flashcards to play a word - guessing game. The teacher shows a flashcard with a new word, and students try to guess the word by its meaning or pronunciation. For example, for the word "pork", the teacher can describe it as "a kind of meat from pigs", and students guess "pork". 3. Reading (15 minutes) Skimming: Let students quickly read the passage about the Dragon Boat Festival. Ask them to find out the main idea of the passage, such as "What is the passage mainly about?" (The passage is mainly about the writer's family's experience of celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival in Yichang, including making zongzi, watching the dragon boat race, and visiting Qu Yuan's hometown.) Scanning: Let students read the passage again carefully. Ask them to answer some detailed questions, such as "When is the Dragon Boat Festival?", "Where did the writer's family make zongzi?", "What did the writer do in Zigui?" Paragraph - by - paragraph Explanation: Paragraph 1: Explain the name "the Dragon Boat Festival" and "the Duanwu Festival", and the time of the festival. Paragraph 2: Explain the phrase "turn out" when talking about "They turned out great!" which means the zongzi they made were delicious. Paragraph 3: Teach new words related to the dragon boat race, like "race", "beat", "cheer", "wave", and explain how to describe the exciting scene of the dragon boat race. Paragraph 4: Explain the words "admire" and "pay respects to" when talking about the writer's feelings towards Qu Yuan. 4. Language Points Learning (10 minutes) Write the new phrases and sentence patterns on the blackboard. Explain their meanings and usage. For the phrase "known as", give more examples, such as "Beijing is known as the capital of China." For the sentence pattern "I learned much about him from my grandma when I was young.", ask students to make similar sentences, for example, "I learned much about painting from my art teacher when I was in primary school." Let students do some fill - in - the - blank exercises on the PPT to practice using these new words, phrases, and sentence patterns. 5. Summary and Homework (7 minutes) Summary: Summarize the key points of this lesson with students, including new words, phrases, sentence patterns, and the main content of the Dragon Boat Festival. Homework: Ask students to write a short passage about their favorite festival, using at least three new words and one new phrase learned in this lesson. Let students search for more information about other traditional Chinese festivals and prepare to share it in the next class. 教学反思 After this class, I need to reflect on the following aspects. First, in the lead - in part, I should ensure that more students actively participate in the discussion of festivals. Maybe I can group students and let them discuss in groups first, and then each group reports. Second, during the new words teaching, although the flashcard game can arouse students' interest, some students may still have problems with pronunciation. I need to pay more attention to individual students' pronunciation guidance. Third, in the reading part, for some students with weak reading abilities, they may have difficulty understanding the passage. I should provide more reading strategies, such as predicting the content before reading. Fourth, in the language points learning, the fill - in - the - blank exercises are a bit simple. I can design some more challenging exercises, like rewriting sentences or making up dialogues, to help students better master the new language knowledge. Overall, I will adjust my teaching methods and strategies according to students' learning situations to improve the teaching effect. 2 / 37 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
