Warming - up (5 minutes) Greet the students and show them some pictures of different safety - related scenes, such as a fire in a building, a traffic accident, and a person using a fire extinguisher. Ask students to describe what they see in the pictures briefly in Chinese first, and then encourage them to use some English words they know to describe the scenes. B. Presentation (10 minutes) Vocabulary Teaching Present the key safety - related vocabulary on the PPT. For each word, show its picture, pronunciation, and meaning. For example, when teaching "fire extinguisher", show a picture of a fire extinguisher, play the pronunciation, and explain that it is a device used to put out fires. Ask students to repeat the words after the teacher several times, paying attention to the pronunciation. Sentence Pattern Teaching Write the sentence patterns for giving safety advice on the blackboard or PPT, such as "You should/shouldn't...", "It's important to...", "Make sure to...". Give some examples for each pattern, and then ask students to make their own sentences using these patterns. For example, for "You should...", students can say "You should check the electrical appliances regularly at home." C. Practice (15 minutes) Pair Work Divide the students into pairs. Give each pair a set of safety - related pictures, which show different situations like cooking in the kitchen, playing on the playground, and crossing the road. Ask students to take turns to describe the pictures using the vocabulary and sentence patterns they just learned. One student describes the potential danger in the picture, and the other gives safety advice. For example, if the picture shows a child playing with a knife in the kitchen, one student says, "Look, the child is playing with a knife. It's very dangerous." The other student responds, "Yes, he shouldn't play with a knife. He should put it away." Group Discussion Group the students into groups of four. Assign each group a safety topic, such as "Safety at School", "Safety at Home", or "Outdoor Safety". Ask each group to discuss the safety rules and measures related to their topic. They need to list as many points as possible using the learned language. For example, for the topic "Safety at School", they may discuss points like "We should walk on the right side of the corridor", "We shouldn't run up and down the stairs", etc. Each group selects a representative to write down the group's discussion results on a piece of paper. D. Production (10 minutes) Role - play Present several safety - related scenarios on the PPT, such as a fire in a classroom, a child getting hurt in the park, and a person trapped in an elevator. Ask different groups to choose one scenario and perform a role - play. In the role - play, students should use the safety - related vocabulary, phrases, and sentence patterns to act out how to deal with the situation. For example, in the fire - in - the - classroom scenario, students can act as teachers and students, using sentences like "Stay calm. We should evacuate through the fire escape. Make sure to cover your nose and mouth with a wet towel." After each group's performance, ask other students to give feedback. The feedback can focus on whether the students used the correct language, whether their performance was vivid, and if there were any areas for improvement. Class Report Each group's representative stands up and reports their group's discussion results about the safety topic they chose in the group discussion part. The representative should speak clearly and loudly, using proper English expressions. After all the reports, the teacher summarizes the key points of each safety topic and commends the groups for their good work. E. Summary and Homework (5 minutes) Summary Review the key vocabulary, phrases, and sentence patterns related to safety with the students. Ask students to recall what they have learned in this class, such as important safety rules in different situations and how to give safety advice. Emphasize the importance of safety in daily life and the significance of using English to communicate about safety. Homework Ask students to write a short passage about a safety incident they have experienced or witnessed. They should describe the incident, the potential dangers, and how to avoid similar incidents in the future using the English knowledge they learned in this class. Encourage students to share their passages with their parents or family members in English. 教学反思 Positive Aspects The use of pictures and real - life scenarios in the warming - up and practice stages effectively attracted students' attention and made the learning process more engaging. Students were actively involved in describing the pictures and discussing the safety topics, which showed their high interest in the content. The pair work and group work activities provided students with sufficient opportunities to practice speaking English. Through cooperation with their peers, students who were less confident in speaking English also got the chance to express themselves, and their speaking skills were gradually improved. The role - play and class report activities at the production stage not only tested students' understanding and application of the learned knowledge but also enhanced their ability to perform in public and organize their thoughts. Students' creativity was also demonstrated in their role - plays. Areas for Improvement Some students still had difficulty in using the vocabulary and sentence patterns accurately and fluently. In the future, more targeted drills and exercises should be designed to strengthen students' memory and usage of key language points. During the group discussion, a few students dominated the discussion, while some students participated less actively. In the next class, more specific group - work guidelines should be given to ensure that every student has an equal opportunity to contribute to the discussion. The time management for the role - play part could be improved. Some groups took too much time to perform, which left less time for in - depth feedback from other students. In the future, a time limit should be set for each group's role - play to ensure a more efficient class flow. 2 / 37 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
