Correct usage of the simple present tense in describing school facilities and daily activities. Be able to use learned vocabulary and sentence patterns to simply introduce one's school in speaking and writing. 3.2 Teaching Difficult Points Precise collocation of vocabulary, avoiding confusion of words with similar meanings, such as “gym” and “sports field.” Construction of complex sentence structures, especially when connecting multiple pieces of information, like using compound sentences or complex sentences. Understanding cultural differences in describing school life, for example, different expressions of school activities in Western and Chinese cultures. 4.1 Vocabulary School facilities: library, gym, canteen, classroom, office, laboratory, playground Adjectives for description: big, small, quiet, modern, bright Verbs for activities: study, read, play, have (classes), do (homework) 4.2 Sentence Patterns Our school has... There is/are... in our school. We have... classes on... I like... because... 教学过程 5.1 Lead - in (5 minutes) Greet the students and show them some pictures of different schools around the world on the PPT. Ask them: “Look at these pictures. What can you see? Are these schools beautiful? Do you want to introduce our own school to others in English?” This can arouse students' interest and lead them to think about the topic of “Our School.” 5.2 Vocabulary Teaching (10 minutes) Present the new words one by one on the PPT. For each word, show a vivid picture of the corresponding school facility, for example, when teaching “library,” show a picture of a library with rows of bookshelves. Read the word aloud, and let students repeat after the teacher several times. Use flashcards with words on one side and pictures on the other side. Randomly show the flashcards and ask students to quickly say the words. Then, divide students into pairs. One student shows a flashcard, and the other student says the word. After that, they switch roles. 5.3 Sentence Pattern Explanation (10 minutes) Write the sentence pattern “Our school has...” on the blackboard. Explain its meaning and usage. Then, give an example: “Our school has a big library.” Ask students to imitate this sentence to describe other facilities in the school. Invite several students to stand up and share their sentences. Introduce the “There is/are...” sentence pattern in a similar way. Explain the difference between “There is” (for singular nouns) and “There are” (for plural nouns). Give examples: “There is a computer in the classroom.” “There are many desks in the classroom.” Let students make their own sentences and practice in pairs. 5.4 Text Reading (10 minutes) Let students open their textbooks to the reading material about the school. First, play the recording of the text, and let students listen carefully while looking at the text, trying to get a general idea. Then, ask students to read the text silently for the second time and answer some simple questions on the PPT, such as “How many classrooms are there in the school?” “What can students do in the library?” After students answer, check the answers together. Divide students into groups of four. Each group chooses a paragraph of the text to read aloud and translate. Then, each group reports to the class. 5.5 Group Activity (10 minutes) Divide students into groups of 5 - 6. Each group is given a large piece of white paper and some colored pens. The task for each group is to draw a map of their ideal school, marking different facilities on it. Then, they need to use the learned vocabulary and sentence patterns to introduce their ideal school to the class. While students are working in groups, the teacher walks around, providing guidance and answering questions. After each group finishes, invite them to come to the front of the class and present their works. Other groups listen carefully and can ask questions. 教学反思 After this 45 - minute class, overall, most students can master the basic vocabulary and sentence patterns related to “Our School.” The use of pictures, flashcards, and group activities has effectively mobilized students' enthusiasm for learning. However, there are still some areas that need improvement. Some students still have difficulty in using the simple present tense correctly, especially when the subject is the third - person singular. In future classes, more targeted exercises should be designed to strengthen this part. During the group activity, a few students were less involved. In the future, it is necessary to pay more attention to these students, encourage them to participate, and assign specific tasks to each group member to ensure everyone's participation. The time for speaking practice could be increased. Although students had some opportunities to speak in pairs and groups, more real - life - like speaking scenarios can be created to further improve students' oral communication ability. 2 / 37 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
