Unit 4 Interests and Abilities-Lesson 2 Joining the Club This lesson, "Joining the Club," is from Unit 4 "Interests and Abilities" in the 2024 edition of the Beijing Normal University Press English textbook for Grade 7. It centers around the theme of students joining after - school clubs. The main text is a dialogue between a teacher and two students, Max and Sam. The teacher helps them choose suitable clubs based on their interests and abilities. Max, who likes playing ping - pong, decides to join the Ping - pong Club. Sam, although not good at singing currently, wishes to learn singing skills and thus chooses the Singing Club. Through this dialogue, students will learn relevant vocabulary about clubs, such as "ping - pong club," "singing club," etc., and important sentence patterns for expressing interests, abilities, and intentions to join clubs, like "What sports can you play?", "Do you want to join an after - school club?", "Can you...?", etc. 教学目标 A. Knowledge Objectives Students will be able to master the new vocabulary related to clubs, such as "painting club," "ping - pong club," "chess club," "singing club," "guitar club," "football club," "model - making club," "dancing club," "reading club," "science club," "tea club". Students can correctly understand and use the key sentence patterns for discussing club - joining, including "What sports can you play?", "Do you want to join an after - school club?", "Can you sing? What about the Singing Club?", "Which club do you want to join?". Students will understand the usage of the modal verb "can" in expressing abilities in this context. B. Ability Objectives Develop students' listening skills by enabling them to understand the dialogue about club - joining, including catching key information like students' interests, the clubs they choose, and the reasons. Improve students' speaking skills so that they can freely communicate about their own interests, abilities, and club - joining intentions in daily conversations. Train students' reading skills, for example, they can read and understand texts about club introductions. Cultivate students' writing skills, allowing them to write a short passage to introduce their favorite clubs or their club - joining plans. C. Emotional Objectives Stimulate students' interest in participating in after - school club activities and encourage them to explore their hobbies and develop their abilities. Foster students' sense of cooperation and communication through group work, enhancing their confidence in using English to express themselves. 教学重难点 A.

Warming - up (5 minutes) Greet the students as usual. Play a short video about various after - school club activities in a school, such as students playing football, singing in a choir, painting pictures, etc. While playing the video, the teacher can ask some simple questions like "What are they doing?" to attract students' attention and lead them to think about club activities. B. Pre - reading (8 minutes) Show some pictures of different clubs on the PPT, one by one. For each picture, ask students if they know what club it is and encourage them to answer in English. For example, when showing the picture of a ping - pong table, ask "What club is this?" and guide students to answer "It's a ping - pong club." Write the names of these clubs on the blackboard and teach students how to read and spell them. Pay attention to students' pronunciation, correct them in time if there are any mistakes. Brainstorming: Divide students into small groups of 4 - 5. Ask each group to discuss and list as many club names as they can think of within 3 minutes. Then ask some groups to report their results. The group that lists the most club names wins a small reward, such as a sticker. C. While - reading (15 minutes) First reading Let students open their textbooks to the dialogue of "Joining the Club". Tell them to read the dialogue quickly and silently, and then answer two simple questions: Question 1: Who are talking in the dialogue? (Answer: The teacher, Max and Sam.) Question 2: What are they mainly talking about? (Answer: They are talking about joining after - school clubs.) Second reading Play the recording of the dialogue. Students listen carefully and read after the recording sentence by sentence, paying attention to the pronunciation, intonation, and rhythm. After listening and reading, ask students to read the dialogue in pairs. One student acts as the teacher, and the other acts as Max or Sam. They can imitate the tone in the recording. The teacher walks around the classroom to monitor and offer help if necessary. Third reading Ask students to read the dialogue again and complete a form on the PPT. The form includes columns like "Name", "Interest", "Club Chosen", and "Reason". Check the answers together as a class. D. Language Focus (8 minutes) Vocabulary in use Present some sentences on the PPT with blanks, and ask students to fill in the blanks with the correct names of the clubs they have just learned. For example: I like reading books. I want to join the ______ Club. (Answer: Reading) My brother is good at playing football. He wants to join the ______ Club. (Answer: Football) Let students practice making their own sentences using club - related vocabulary, and then ask some students to share their sentences with the class. Grammar: Can (2) Review the usage of the modal verb "can" with students. Write some examples on the blackboard: I can play basketball. (Expressing ability) Can you swim? (Asking about ability) Yes, I can. / No, I can't. (Answering the question) Let students do some oral exercises. The teacher says an activity, and students respond with sentences using "can". For example, the teacher says "draw pictures", and students say "I can draw pictures." or "He/She can draw pictures." etc. E. Post - reading (7 minutes) Group discussion: Divide students into groups of 4 - 5 again. Ask each group to discuss the following two questions: Question 1: If you want to join an after - school club, which club would you choose and why? Question 2: What benefits do you think joining an after - school club can bring to you? Each group chooses a representative to report their discussion results to the class. The teacher encourages students to use the learned vocabulary and sentence patterns in their reports. Role - play: Set up a "Club Recruitment" situation. Some students act as club recruiters, and some act as students who want to join clubs. The recruiters need to introduce their clubs, such as the activities in the club, the skills one can learn, etc. The students who want to join clubs need to ask questions about the clubs and express their interests. The teacher provides some key sentences on the PPT to help them, such as "Welcome to our... Club. We often...", "Do you want to join our club? You can... here.", "I'm interested in... Can I join your club?" etc. F. Summary and Homework (2 minutes) Summary Briefly summarize the key points of this lesson with students, including the new vocabulary about clubs, the important sentence patterns for club - joining, and the usage of "can" to express abilities. Ask students to recall what they have learned in this class and share their feelings or new understandings. Homework Ask students to write a short passage about their ideal after - school club. They need to include the name of the club, the reasons why they want to join it, and what they hope to do or learn in the club. The passage should be at least 50 words. Encourage students to search for more information about interesting clubs on the Internet or in books and share it with the class next time. 教学反思 After teaching this lesson, I need to reflect on the following aspects. Firstly, in terms of teaching methods, the combination of various activities such as video - watching, group discussion, role - play, etc. can effectively arouse students' interest and participation. However, some students may still be a bit shy in role - play activities. In the future, I should create a more relaxed and encouraging atmosphere to help them overcome this problem. Secondly, regarding students' learning effects, most students can master the new vocabulary and basic sentence patterns, but there is still a certain gap in their ability to use them flexibly in real - life situations. I need to design more practical and authentic communication tasks to improve their language application ability. Thirdly, in the teaching process, the time control of each part needs to be more precise. Sometimes, the group discussion may take a little longer than expected, which affects the progress of the subsequent teaching content. In conclusion, I will constantly adjust and improve my teaching strategies based on these reflections to make the teaching of English more effective and interesting for 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 $
