Lead - in (5 minutes) Show some pictures of famous writers, such as William Shakespeare, Lu Xun, and Mark Twain, on the PPT. Ask students if they know these writers and what their famous works are. Encourage students to share their knowledge briefly. Ask students: "What do you think are the important elements in a good literary work?" Let students have a short discussion in pairs and then invite some pairs to share their ideas. This activity can arouse students' interest in the topic and activate their prior knowledge. B. Project Introduction (8 minutes) Present the requirements of the F Project clearly. Explain that students need to choose a famous writer, research about their life, works, writing style, and then make a presentation or write a report. Provide some examples of good projects from previous years (if available) on the PPT. Show students how to organize the content, such as the structure of the report (introduction, main body, conclusion), and the key points to include in each part. For example, in the introduction part, students should briefly introduce the writer's name and their general status in the literary field. Divide students into groups of 4 - 5. Let them discuss and choose a writer they are interested in. Walk around the classroom to offer help and guidance when students have difficulties in making decisions. C. Information Collection Guidance (10 minutes) Introduce some reliable information sources to students, such as the school library, online databases like Britannica, and official literary websites. Teach students how to search for information effectively. For example, when using search engines, they can use specific keywords, like "the life of [writer's name]" or "[writer's name]'s masterpieces and writing style". Give students some tips on how to judge the reliability of the information. For instance, information from well - known academic institutions or official biographies is more reliable than some random blogs. Let students start to search for information in their groups. Remind them to take notes of important points. Walk around to monitor their progress and answer their questions. D. Group Work and Discussion (15 minutes) After students have collected some information, ask them to organize the information in their groups. They can divide the tasks, for example, one student is responsible for organizing the writer's life information, one for the works, and one for the writing style. Let students discuss how to present the information in a logical way. They can make an outline for their presentation or report. For example, in the main body part of the report about a writer, they can first introduce the writer's early life experiences that influenced their writing, then talk about their representative works one by one, and finally analyze the unique writing style. Encourage students to ask questions and share different opinions within the group. Teachers can participate in some groups' discussions to offer guidance and help them solve problems. E. Conclusion and Assignment (7 minutes) Summarize the key points of this class, including the project requirements, information collection methods, and the importance of group cooperation. Assign homework: Each group needs to complete the first draft of their project (either the written report or the presentation script) by the next class. They can continue to collect more information and improve their work after class. 教学反思 Effectiveness of Teaching Objectives After this class, most students showed a clear understanding of the project requirements. They were able to choose a writer and start to collect information. However, some students still had difficulties in applying grammar correctly in their note - taking. In the next class, more grammar review activities related to the project content should be carried out. Teaching Process The lead - in activity successfully aroused students' interest, but the time for students to share their ideas was a bit short. In future classes, more time can be allocated to this part to fully activate students' prior knowledge. The guidance on information collection was helpful, but some students still had problems in judging the reliability of information. In the future, more in - depth teaching on information evaluation should be added. Group work promoted students' cooperation, but there were some groups where one or two students dominated the discussion. Teachers need to pay more attention to ensuring that every student participates actively in group work. Student Performance Some students showed great enthusiasm and creativity in choosing writers and planning their projects. They were able to think critically about the information they collected. However, a few students seemed less engaged and relied too much on their group members. Teachers should have more one - on - one communication with these students to encourage their active participation. 2 / 37 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
