Ask students some questions like “Do you have many friends? How did you make friends with your best friend?” Encourage several students to share their stories briefly. Show some pictures related to friendship, such as friends playing together, helping each other, sharing food etc. While showing the pictures, ask students to describe what they see in the pictures using simple English sentences. This activity can arouse students' interest in the topic of friendship and lead in to the reading passage smoothly. B. Pre - reading (10 minutes) Vocabulary teaching Present the new words and phrases on the PPT one by one. Teach the pronunciation, meaning and usage of each word or phrase. For example, when teaching “lonely”, show a picture of a child sitting alone in the corner with a sad face, and explain the meaning. Then give some example sentences and ask students to repeat. After teaching all the new words and phrases, play a word - guessing game. Divide the class into several groups. The teacher describes a word or phrase in English, and the first group that guesses the correct word gets a point. This can help students review and remember the new words in a fun way. Prediction Show the title of the reading passage “Making New Friends through Sharing” and the picture on the textbook related to the story. Ask students to predict what the story might be about according to the title and the picture. Let them discuss in pairs for about 2 minutes, and then invite some pairs to share their predictions with the class. This activity can train students' ability to predict text content and also prepare them for the following reading. C. While - reading (15 minutes) Skimming Ask students to read the passage quickly without paying attention to every word. Set a question: “What is the main idea of the story?” Give them 2 - 3 minutes to read and think. After that, ask several students to answer the question. The main idea of this story is that Chen Zihao made new friends at a new school by sharing his Sanmao comic books. Scanning Present a series of detailed questions on the PPT, such as “How did Chen Zihao feel at first at the new school?”, “What story did Mrs Qin read?”, “What did Chen Zihao do after Mrs Qin read the story?”, “Did Chen Zihao make friends at last?” etc. Ask students to read the passage again carefully and find the answers to these questions. Give them about 5 minutes to read and answer. Then check the answers together. This can help students master the key details of the story. Intensive reading Read the passage sentence by sentence with the students. Explain some difficult sentences, such as “One day Chen Zihao was surprised when Mrs Qin read a story about Sanmao, a boy from the comic book series Wanderings of Sanmao.” Analyze the sentence structure and the usage of the words. Also, pay attention to the simple past tense used in each sentence. After each sentence is explained, ask students to read it aloud to imitate the pronunciation and intonation. D. Post - reading (10 minutes) Retelling Divide the students into groups of four. Ask each group to retell the story together. One student starts, and then the others add details in turn. After they finish retelling in groups, invite some groups to retell the story in front of the class. The rest of the class can listen carefully and give scores according to the completeness and accuracy of the retelling. This activity can improve students' oral expression ability and their understanding of the story. Critical thinking Raise some critical thinking questions, such as “Why could Chen Zihao make friends successfully? What can we learn from his experience?”, “In your opinion, what are the important qualities for making friends?” Let students discuss these questions in groups for about 5 minutes. Then ask each group to choose a representative to share their group's opinions. Through this discussion, students can develop their critical thinking ability and also have a deeper understanding of the theme of friendship. E. Summary and Homework (5 minutes) Summary Summarize the key points of this class with the students, including new words, phrases, sentence patterns and the main idea of the story. Emphasize the importance of friendship and the role of sharing in making friends. Also, review the simple past tense briefly. Homework Ask students to write a short passage about their own experience of making friends. They should use at least five new words and phrases and some sentences in the simple past tense. Encourage students to read more stories about friendship after class and share their feelings with their classmates next time. 教学反思 After this class, students should have a better understanding of the story about making friends through sharing, master the relevant new words, phrases and the simple past tense. The various activities in class, such as group discussions, games and retelling, can effectively improve students' participation and language skills. However, there are still some areas that need improvement. In the group discussion part, some students may not be very active. In the future, more incentives can be provided to encourage every student to participate actively, such as giving extra points for active participation in group discussions. When teaching grammar, although the simple past tense is explained in the context of the story, some students may still have difficulties in using it correctly. More exercises and real - life examples can be given in the following classes to strengthen their understanding and application of the simple past tense. The time control in class can be further optimized. For example, in the retelling part, some groups may take too much time, which may affect the progress of the critical thinking discussion. Next time, more specific time limits can be set for each activity to ensure the smooth completion of all teaching procedures. 2 / 37 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
