The correct usage of the simple past tense and simple future tense when talking about past and future birthday events. Help students understand different birthday customs described in the teaching materials. B. Teaching Difficult Points Differentiating and correctly using some similar sentence patterns, such as the difference between "I will do sth." and "I am going to do sth." when expressing birthday plans. Helping students understand and apply the cultural knowledge about birthday celebrations from different regions in real - life communication. Improving students' comprehensive language - using ability to freely communicate about birthday - related topics, including integrating vocabulary, grammar, and cultural knowledge. A. Vocabulary Nouns: birthday: The anniversary of the day on which a person was born. Example: My birthday is in June. gift/present: Something given willingly to someone without payment. Example: I received many gifts on my birthday. cake: A sweet food made from flour, sugar, eggs, etc., and usually baked. Example: We bought a big birthday cake. candle: A stick of wax with a wick in the middle that is lit to give light.

Talking about birthday plans: I will have a birthday party. I'm going to invite my friends. My parents will buy me a new bike for my birthday. Asking about age: How old are you? What's your age? C. Grammar Simple Past Tense: Structure: Subject + verb (past form) + other elements. Use: To describe actions or states that happened in the past. For example, "I had a great time at my birthday party last week." The past form of regular verbs is usually formed by adding "-ed" (e.g., work - worked), and irregular verbs have their own special past forms (e.g., go - went). Simple Future Tense: Structure: Subject + will + verb (base form) + other elements or Subject + be going to + verb (base form) + other elements. Use: To express actions that will happen in the future. "Will" is used to express a simple future action or a prediction, and "be going to" is often used when there is a plan or intention. For example, "I will visit my grandparents on my birthday." "I am going to make a cake for my sister's birthday because I planned it yesterday." 教学过程 A. Lead - in (5 minutes) Greet the students as usual. Show some pictures of birthday parties on the PPT, including birthday cakes, candles, gifts, and people celebrating. Then ask the students: "What can you see in these pictures? Do you like birthday parties? Why?" Encourage students to share their ideas and memories about birthday parties in Chinese first, and then guide them to express some simple ideas in English. This can arouse students' interest in the topic of birthdays. B. New Knowledge Presentation (15 minutes) Vocabulary teaching Present the new vocabulary related to birthday celebrations one by one on the PPT. For each word, show its picture, pronunciation, and an example sentence. For example, when teaching "birthday", show a picture of a birthday cake with candles, play the pronunciation, and say the sentence "When is your birthday?". Let the students repeat the words after the teacher several times to practice pronunciation. Use flashcards to review the words. Show the flashcards quickly and ask students to read the words out as fast as they can. Sentence pattern teaching Write the sentence patterns for expressing birthday wishes on the blackboard, such as "Happy birthday to you!". Explain the meaning and usage. Then ask students to practice saying these sentences to their deskmates. For sentence patterns about birthday plans, first present some examples on the PPT, like "I will have a birthday party at home this Sunday." Analyze the structure "will + verb (base form)". Then ask students to make their own sentences about their birthday plans. When teaching the sentence pattern for asking about age "How old are you?", first ask a student in the class: "How old are you?" and let the student answer. Then ask students to practice this dialogue in pairs. Grammar teaching (Simple Past Tense and Simple Future Tense) Use some simple examples related to birthdays to introduce the simple past tense and simple future tense. For the simple past tense, show a picture of a birthday party that happened yesterday and say "I had a birthday party yesterday. I invited my friends and we ate a big cake." Explain the structure and usage. For the simple future tense, show a picture of a birthday party that will happen tomorrow and say "I will have a birthday party tomorrow. I am going to buy a new dress for the party." Compare the two structures "will + verb (base form)" and "be going to + verb (base form)". Then give students some exercises on the PPT to practice using these two tenses in the context of birthday celebrations. C. Practice (15 minutes) Listening practice Play a short dialogue about birthday plans on the recorder. Before playing, ask students some questions, such as "Who is having a birthday?", "What are they going to do for the birthday?". Let students listen carefully and try to answer the questions. Play the dialogue twice if necessary. After that, play the dialogue again sentence by sentence, and ask students to repeat each sentence to practice listening and pronunciation. Speaking practice Divide the students into groups of four. Each group is given a topic card, such as "Plan your own birthday party", "Describe your last birthday party", or "Ask and answer about your group members' birthdays". Let the students in each group have a discussion according to the topic on the card. Encourage them to use the vocabulary, sentence patterns, and grammar they just learned. Then ask each group to choose a representative to come to the front of the class and share their group's discussion results. The rest of the students can ask questions. Reading practice Give each student a short passage about birthday customs in different countries. Let students read the passage silently first and try to understand the main idea. Then ask some comprehension questions, such as "What are the special birthday customs in [a certain country]?", "Why do people do that on birthdays?". Let students answer the questions in pairs. Finally, ask students to read the passage aloud to practice reading fluency. D. Consolidation and Extension (8 minutes) Summary Summarize the key vocabulary, sentence patterns, and grammar points of this lesson with the students. Write them on the blackboard or show them on the PPT. Ask students to take notes if necessary. Homework assignment Ask students to write a short passage about their ideal birthday party, using at least five new words and three sentence patterns learned in this lesson. Encourage students to collect more information about birthday customs in other countries and share it with the class next time. E. Blackboard Design Divide the blackboard into three parts. In the left - hand part, write the new vocabulary related to birthday celebrations, including words, pronunciation, and examples. In the middle part, write the important sentence patterns, such as those for expressing birthday wishes, talking about birthday plans, and asking about age. In the right - hand part, write the key points about the simple past tense and simple future tense in the context of birthday celebrations, including structures and usage. 教学反思 In this lesson, through various teaching methods such as picture - showing, group - discussion, and listening - speaking - reading - writing practice, students were actively involved in the learning process. However, in the group - discussion part, some students were a bit shy and did not actively participate. In future teaching, more encouragement and guidance should be given to these students to make them more confident in speaking English. The teaching of grammar, especially the difference between the simple future tense structures "will" and "be going to", seemed a bit difficult for some students. In the next class, more examples and exercises should be provided to help them better understand and master this grammar point. The time control in the teaching process was generally good, but the reading practice part could have been given a little more time for students to fully understand and discuss the passage. In future teaching, the time allocation should be adjusted more carefully according to the actual situation of students' learning. The connection between teaching content and real - life situations was relatively close, which helped students better understand and apply the knowledge. But in the future, more real - life cases and scenarios can be introduced to further improve students' ability to use English in real - life communication. 2 / 37 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
