Unit 3 Home and Places-Lesson 3 Near My Home This lesson, "Near My Home" from Unit 3 "Home and Places" in the 2024 Beijing Normal University Edition English textbook for Grade 7, focuses on helping students describe the places near their homes. It mainly includes vocabulary related to community facilities such as "supermarket", "park", "hospital", "bank", "post office", "bus stop", etc., as well as prepositions of place like "next to", "between", "in front of", "behind", "near". Through various activities, students will learn to use these words and phrases to express the location of places, and also master relevant sentence patterns like "Where is...?", "It's near/next to...", "Is there a... near here? - Yes, there is./No, there isn't." 教学目标 1.

Sentence Patterns Asking about Location Where is...? （…… 在哪里？） Is there a... near here? （这附近有…… 吗？） Describing Location It's near/next to/between/behind/in front of... （它在…… 附近 / 紧挨着 / 在…… 之间 / 在…… 后面 / 在…… 前面） Yes, there is. / No, there isn't. （是的，有。/ 不，没有。） 教学过程 1. Warming - up (5 minutes) Greet the students as usual. Then, show some pictures of different community facilities on the PPT and ask students to say the names of these places in Chinese. For example, show a picture of a supermarket and ask "What is this in Chinese?" After students answer, say "Today, we are going to learn how to say these places in English and describe where they are." 2. Presentation (15 minutes) Vocabulary Teaching Show the pictures of "supermarket", "park", "hospital", "bank", "post office", "bus stop" one by one on the PPT. Teach students to read the words correctly, emphasizing the pronunciation. For example, when teaching "supermarket", read it slowly "su - per - mar - ket" and ask students to repeat several times. Use flashcards to review the words. Show the flashcards quickly and let students say the words as fast as they can. Prepositions of Place Teaching Use the classroom layout to teach prepositions. Point to a student sitting next to another student and say "He is next to her." Then, point to the blackboard and a desk in the front of the classroom and say "The blackboard is in front of the desk." Do the same for other prepositions like "behind", "between", "near", and let students imitate. Show some pictures on the PPT with objects in different positions and ask students to describe the positions using prepositions. For example, show a picture of a cat behind a chair and ask "Where is the cat?" Encourage students to answer "The cat is behind the chair." Sentence Pattern Teaching Write the sentence pattern "Where is...?" on the blackboard. Use a picture of a school and ask students "Where is the school?" Then, answer "It's near the park." Write the answer on the blackboard. Let students practice asking and answering in pairs with different pictures. Write the sentence pattern "Is there a... near here?" on the blackboard. Use a picture of a bank and ask "Is there a bank near here?" Answer "Yes, there is." or "No, there isn't." according to the picture. Then, let students practice this sentence pattern in pairs, too. 3. Practice (15 minutes) Listening Practice Play a short dialogue recording on the PPT. The dialogue is about two people asking and answering the location of places near home. For example: A: Excuse me. Is there a supermarket near here? B: Yes, there is. It's next to the bank. A: Thank you. B: You're welcome. Play the recording twice. The first time, let students just listen. The second time, ask students to listen and fill in the blanks in a handout with the missing words about the location. Speaking Practice Divide students into groups of four. Each group gets a map of a community with different places marked. One student starts by asking "Where is the...?" to another student in the group, and the other student answers according to the map. Then, they change roles and continue the conversation. Walk around the classroom to monitor and offer help if necessary. Writing Practice Ask students to write a short passage to describe the places near their homes. They should use at least three new words and two sentence patterns. Give them some guidance, such as "First, think about what places are near your home. Then, start your passage with 'There are many places near my home.' " After students finish writing, ask some of them to read their passages aloud in class. 4. Production (5 minutes) Group Activity: Let students work in groups of five. Each group designs a new community on a large piece of paper. They draw different places like houses, parks, supermarkets, etc. Then, they write English labels on these places and use arrows and English sentences to show the location relationships. For example, draw an arrow from a house to a park and write "The house is near the park." Each group presents their designed community to the class. 5. Summary and Homework (5 minutes) Summary Review the new words, prepositions of place, and sentence patterns with students. Ask students to recall and say some of them. For example, ask "Who can tell me some prepositions of place we learned today?" or "What is the sentence pattern for asking if there is a place near here?" Homework Ask students to draw a map of their real neighborhood at home, mark at least five places on it, and write a short passage in English to introduce the places and their locations. Tell students to prepare for a small oral presentation about their neighborhood maps in the next class. 教学反思 After this class, I found that most students were interested in the topic and actively participated in various activities. The use of pictures, real - life examples, and group work effectively helped students understand and master the new knowledge. However, there were still some problems. For example, in the speaking practice, some students were a bit shy and dared not speak loudly. In the future, I will encourage these students more and create a more relaxed speaking environment. Also, a few students still had difficulty in correctly using some prepositions of place, especially "between" and "in front of". I will design more targeted exercises for them to strengthen their understanding. Overall, this class achieved most of the teaching objectives, but there is still room for improvement in teaching methods and individual student guidance. 2 / 37 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
