Unit 5 Go sightseeing-C Grammaring 1. Content Overview This lesson focuses on the possessive case in English, specifically the use of ’s and of to express possession or relationship. Students will learn when to use each form, the differences between them, and how to apply these rules in various contexts. Through a series of examples, exercises, and group activities, students will gain a solid understanding of this important grammar point. 教学目标 2.1 Knowledge Objectives Students will be able to understand the concept of possessive case in English. They will master the usage of ’s and of to show possession. Students will learn the special cases and exceptions related to the possessive case. 2.2 Ability Objectives Students can correctly use ’s and of to rewrite sentences. They are able to identify and correct mistakes in the use of possessive case in given texts. Students can apply the knowledge of possessive case in their own speaking and writing. 2.3 Emotional Objectives Foster students' interest in learning English grammar. Encourage students to actively participate in classroom activities and group discussions. Develop students' confidence in using English grammar accurately. 教学重难点 3.1 Key Points The basic rules of using ’s for singular nouns (add ’s) and plural nouns ending in -s (add ’). The use of of to show possession for non - living things and some special cases for living things. The situations where ’s and of can be used interchangeably. 3.2 Difficult Points Distinguishing between the appropriate use of ’s and of in complex sentences. Understanding and applying the special cases and exceptions of possessive case, such as using ’s for time, distance, value, etc. 4.1 ’s Possessive Case For singular nouns not ending in -s, add ’s. For example: the girl’s bag, a child’s book. For plural nouns ending in -s, just add ’. For example: students’ performance, the teachers’ office. ’s can be used for people, animals, and some cases related to time, distance, value, etc. For example: yesterday’s newspaper, five minutes’ walk, a dollar’s worth of candies. 4.2 of Possessive Case Used mainly for non - living things. For example: the colour of the house, the foot of the bed. Can also be used for living things in some cases, especially when the noun phrase is long or there is a need to emphasize the relationship. For example: the children of the family, the life of a panda. 4.3 Interchangeable Situations Sometimes, both ’s and of can be used to express the same meaning, especially when referring to organizations, countries, etc. For example: the company’s decision = the decision of the company; India’s population = the population of India. 教学过程 5.1 Lead - in (5 minutes) Show some pictures of different scenes, such as a classroom with students’ books on the desks, a park with a sign “The entrance of the park”, etc. Ask students to describe what they see in the pictures, and write some of their sentences on the blackboard. For example: “The students’ books are on the desks.” “The entrance of the park is beautiful.” Then, start a discussion about the use of ’s and of in these sentences, asking students if they know why we use these forms. 5.2 Presentation (12 minutes) Explain the basic rules of ’s possessive case: Write the rules on the blackboard and give more examples. For singular nouns not ending in -s, we add ’s to show possession. For example, if we have a boy and his toy, we say “the boy’s toy”. For plural nouns ending in -s, we just add ’. For example, if there are many students and their classroom, we say “the students’ classroom”. Use flashcards with different singular and plural nouns to let students practice forming the possessive case. For example, show a card with “cat” and ask students to say “the cat’s tail”; show a card with “dogs” and ask students to say “the dogs’ house”. Explain the use of of possessive case: Emphasize that of is mainly used for non - living things. Write examples on the blackboard, like “the cover of the book”, “the wheels of the car”. Use pictures to illustrate. Show a picture of a tree and a bird on it, and then say “the nest of the bird is in the tree”. Explain the interchangeable situations: Give examples of organizations and countries. Write on the blackboard: “the school’s plan = the plan of the school”, “China’s culture = the culture of China”. Let students understand that in these cases, both forms can be used. 5.3 Practice (15 minutes) Exercise 1: Sentence Rewriting Give students a set of sentences, some using ’s and some using of. Ask them to rewrite the sentences using the other form if possible. For example: “The mother of Tom is a doctor.” (Rewrite as: “Tom’s mother is a doctor.”) “The students’ homework is difficult.” (Rewrite as: “The homework of the students is difficult.”) Walk around the classroom to check students’ work and offer help if needed. Exercise 2: Multiple - Choice Show some multiple - choice questions on the screen. For example: “This is _ room. (A. Tom and Jack B. Tom’s and Jack’s C. Tom and Jack’s)” “The name _ the city is very interesting. (A. of B. ’s C. for)” Let students choose the correct answers and explain their choices. This can be done individually first and then discussed in pairs. 5.4 Group Activity (8 minutes) Divide students into groups of 4 - 5. Give each group a topic related to travel, such as “A travel plan of our group”, “The attractions of our dream city”, etc. Ask each group to create a short passage using the possessive case (both ’s and of) to describe their topic. They can draw some simple pictures to illustrate their passage. After 5 minutes, each group presents their work to the class. The rest of the students listen and can ask questions or give comments. 5.5 Summary and Homework (5 minutes) Summary: Review the key points of the possessive case with students, including the rules of ’s and of, and the interchangeable situations. Ask students to share what they have learned in this class. Homework: Ask students to write a short passage about their own room, using at least 5 sentences with the possessive case. Ask them to find 3 sentences in English books or articles that use the possessive case and bring them to class next time to share. 教学反思 After this class, students showed a relatively high level of participation. The use of pictures and real - life examples in the lead - in and presentation stages effectively attracted students' attention and helped them understand the basic concepts. However, during the practice and group activity, it was found that some students still had difficulty in distinguishing the appropriate use of ’s and of in complex sentences. For example, in the sentence rewriting exercise, when the noun phrases were long, some students made mistakes. In the future, more targeted exercises and in - depth explanations should be provided for such difficult points. Also, during the group activity, some groups were more active than others. In the next class, more guidance on group cooperation can be given to ensure that every student participates fully. Overall, the teaching objectives were basically achieved, but there is still room for improvement in teaching methods and the depth of knowledge transfer. 2 / 37 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 $
