III. Teaching Key and Difficult Points
A. Key Points
The new words and phrases related to classic books and their correct pronunciation.
The correct usage of "have to", "had better", "needn't", and "used to". For example:
"Have to" is used to express obligation, and its negative form "don't have to" means there is no obligation. For instance, "I have to finish my homework before dinner. But I don't have to clean my room now."
"Had better" is used to give advice, and its negative form is "had better not". Such as "You had better wear a coat. It's cold outside. You had better not be late for school."
"Needn't" means there is no need. For example, "You needn't buy a new book. You can borrow one from the library."
"Used to" is used to talk about past habits or states that no longer exist. Its negative form is "didn't use to" or "used not to", and the interrogative form can be "Did... use to..." or "Used... to...". For example, "I used to play football every weekend. But now I don't have time. Didn't you use to live in the city?"
B. Difficult Points
Distinguishing the differences between "have to" and "must", "had better" and other similar expressions for giving advice.
Although both "have to" and "must" express obligation, "have to" often implies external obligation, while "must" emphasizes internal obligation or personal opinion. For example, "I have to wear a uniform at school (because of the school rule). I must study hard to get good grades (my own determination)."
Using "used to" correctly in different tenses and sentence structures.
A. New Words and Phrases
Novel: A long written story in which the characters and events are usually imaginary. E.g., "I am reading an interesting novel these days."
Poem: A piece of writing in which the words are arranged in separate lines, often ending in rhyme, and are chosen for their sound and the images and ideas they suggest. E.g., "He wrote a beautiful poem for his mother."
Fairy - tale: A children's story about magical events and imaginary creatures. E.g., "Cinderella is a well - known fairy - tale."
Have to: Express obligation. E.g., "We have to follow the school rules."
Had better: Give advice. E.g., "You had better go to bed early."
Needn't: Indicate no need. E.g., "You needn't worry about it."
Used to: Talk about past habits or states that no longer exist. E.g., "She used to be afraid of dogs."

教学过程
A. Warming - up (5 minutes)
Greet the students as usual.
Show some pictures of famous classic books like Romeo and Juliet, Journey to the West, and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland on the PPT. Ask students if they know these books and briefly share what they know about them. For example:
T: "Boys and girls, look at the screen. Do you know this book?"
Ss: "Yes, it's Journey to the West."
T: "Great! Can you tell me something about it?"
S1: "It's about the Monkey King and his adventures with his master and brothers."
B. Presentation (15 minutes)
New Words Teaching
Write the new words "novel", "poem", "fairy - tale" on the blackboard. Pronounce them clearly and ask students to repeat after the teacher several times. Then explain the meanings with examples and show some relevant pictures on the PPT to help students understand.
For example, when teaching "novel", show a picture of a thick book and say, "Look, this is a novel. It has a long and interesting story. Like Pride and Prejudice, it's a famous novel."
Let students practice reading the words in pairs, and the teacher walks around the classroom to correct their pronunciation if necessary.
Grammar Presentation
Have to
Use a simple situation to introduce "have to". For example, say, "I have a lot of work to do today, so I have to stay in the office late." Write the sentence on the blackboard and explain the meaning and usage of "have to". Then give more examples like "You have to wear a seatbelt in the car." and ask students to make sentences with "have to" according to their own situations.
Had better
Present a dialogue on the PPT: A: "I have a headache." B: "You had better see a doctor." Explain the meaning and usage of "had better" as giving advice. Then create some more situations, such as "It's going to rain. What should you do?" and ask students to answer with "had better".
Needn't
Use an example like "You have already finished your homework. You needn't do it again." to introduce "needn't". Let students understand that it means there is no need. Then ask students to make negative sentences with "needn't" based on given situations.
Used to
Share your own experience: "When I was a child, I used to go to the park every Sunday. But now I'm too busy." Write the sentence on the blackboard and explain the usage of "used to" for past habits that no longer exist. Then show some pictures of past and present situations, for example, a picture of a student playing basketball in the past and studying hard now, and ask students to describe the changes with "used to".
C. Practice (15 minutes)
Vocabulary Practice
Show some incomplete sentences on the PPT, such as "I like reading ______ (novel/poem/fairy - tale) because they are full of magic." and ask students to choose the correct word to fill in the blank. Let them work individually first and then check the answers in pairs.
Conduct a word - building activity. Give students the root words and ask them to form related words. For example, give "poem", and ask them to write "poet" (a person who writes poems).
Grammar Practice
Have to
Provide a set of sentences with blanks, like "My mother is ill, so I ______ (have to) take care of her at home." Let students fill in the correct form of "have to". Then change the sentences into negative and interrogative forms.
Had better
Present some problem - situations on the PPT, such as "Your friend is going to a party but doesn't know what to wear." and ask students to give advice using "had better".
Needn't
Give students some statements, like "You have already bought the ticket. You ______ (needn't) buy another one." and let them complete the sentences.
Used to
Show some pictures of a place in the past and now. For example, a picture of a small village in the past and a big town now. Ask students to describe the changes using "used to", such as "There used to be a small village here, but now there are many tall buildings."
D. Consolidation (5 minutes)
Group Work
Divide students into groups of four. Give each group a topic related to classic books, such as "What classic books do you think every student should read?" or "The most interesting classic book I have ever read".
Each group members need to use the learned words and grammar to express their opinions. For example, "I think we have to read Tom Sawyer because it shows the interesting childhood of the main character. I used to read it when I was in primary school, and I really liked it."
Each group chooses a representative to report their discussion results to the whole class.
Summary
Summarize the key points of this class together with the students, including new words, phrases, and grammar usage. Write the key points on the blackboard for students to copy in their notebooks.
E. Homework Assignment (5 minutes)
Ask students to write a short passage about their favorite classic book. They need to use at least three new words and two grammar points learned in this class.
Let students read a classic book excerpt and find out sentences with "have to", "had better", "needn't", or "used to" if there are any.
教学反思
After this class, it is necessary to reflect on the teaching process. In the warming - up part, the pictures of classic books successfully attracted students' attention and aroused their interest in the topic. However, more students could have been involved in the sharing. During the presentation of new words and grammar, the use of examples and real - life situations was helpful for students to understand. But for some students, the differences between "have to" and "must", and the correct usage of "used to" in different tenses still seemed a bit difficult. In the practice part, students were quite active in doing individual and pair - work. But in group work, some groups did not fully utilize the learned knowledge. In future teaching, more time should be spent on differentiating difficult grammar points, and more guidance should be given during group work to ensure all students can participate and make good use of the learned content. Also, more diverse forms of practice can be designed to strengthen students' understanding and application ability.
