Lead - in (5 minutes) Teacher: Hello, dear students! Welcome to junior high school. It's a brand - new start for all of us. First, let's look at some pictures. (Show pictures of students in different junior high school activities, such as joining clubs, studying new subjects, making new friends) Now, can you tell me what you see in these pictures? What do you think junior high school life will be like? Raise your hands and share your ideas with us. Students: Answer the teacher's questions, expressing their initial thoughts about junior high school life. 2. Pre - reading (10 minutes) Teacher: Great! You all have some interesting ideas. Now, let's think about something special. Have you ever heard of a wishing tree? In many cultures, people believe that if they write down their wishes and hang them on a tree, their wishes might come true. Today, we are going to make our own wishing tree in the classroom. But before that, let's learn some new words and phrases related to our wishes and junior high school life. (Teach new vocabulary on the blackboard or using PPT, explaining the meaning and pronunciation, and asking students to repeat) For example, when we talk about what we want to do in the future, we can use "wish" and "goal". A wish is a dream in our heart, and a goal is something we work hard to reach. And when we start junior high school, we will study many new "subjects", like science, history. Also, we can join different "clubs" to develop our hobbies. And making new friends means building new "friendships". We all hope to "achieve" our wishes, that is, to make them come true. Students: Listen carefully, repeat the new words and phrases, and try to understand their meanings. Teacher: Now, let's play a little game. I will say a word, and you need to make a sentence with it. For example, if I say "wish", you can say "I have a wish to travel around the world." Let's start. (Choose some students to answer) 3. While - reading (15 minutes) Teacher: Now, open your textbooks to the part about making a wishing tree. Let's read it together. First, listen to me read it carefully. (Read the text aloud with correct pronunciation and intonation) Then, I will ask you some questions. After reading, we know that there are several steps to make a wishing tree. What are the first steps? Students: Read the text silently or follow the teacher's reading, and then answer the teacher's questions. They may answer that the first steps are to think about our wishes. Teacher: Exactly. We need to think about our wishes for junior high school. What aspects of junior high school life can we think about? Can you find some examples in the text? Students: Look for information in the text and answer. They may mention study, hobbies, making friends, etc. Teacher: Very good. Now, let's focus on the sentence patterns. Find some sentences that express wishes and plans in the text. (Guide students to find sentences like "I want to get better at English", "I am going to join a music club") Let's analyze these sentence patterns together. When we want to express our wishes, we can use "I want to...", "My wish is to...". When talking about plans, "I will..." and "I am going to..." are often used. Now, work in pairs. One student says a wish, and the other makes a plan for it. For example, if one says "I want to make more friends", the other can say "I am going to join more school activities." Students: Work in pairs, practicing expressing wishes and plans using the learned sentence patterns. 4. Post - reading (10 minutes) Teacher: OK, everyone. Now it's time for us to start making our own wishing tree. First, each of you will get a green paper "leaf". Think about your wish for junior high school. It can be about your study, hobbies, or making new friends. Then, write your wish on the leaf using the English sentence patterns we just learned. After that, come to the front of the classroom and stick your leaf on the "wishing tree" I prepared. (The teacher has drawn a big tree on the blackboard or prepared a paper tree on the wall) Students: Think about their wishes, write them on the leaves, and then come to the front to add their leaves to the wishing tree. Teacher: Wonderful! Our wishing tree is getting more and more beautiful. Now, choose one of your classmates' wishes from the tree. Then, work with your group members to make a plan for this wish. For example, if the wish is "I want to be good at math", your group can discuss and come up with plans like "I will do more math exercises every day", "I will ask the teacher for help when I have problems". Each group member should contribute at least one idea. Students: Work in groups, choose a wish, and discuss plans to achieve it. Then, each group selects a representative to share their plans with the whole class. 5. Summary and Homework (5 minutes) Teacher: Today, we have learned a lot. We learned about making a wishing tree, new words and phrases about wishes and junior high school life, and how to express our wishes and plans in English. Remember, our wishes are the driving force for our actions. We should work hard to achieve them. For homework, I want you to write a short passage about your wish and plan. You can use the sentences and words we learned today. Also, think about how you can make your wish come true in your daily life. Students: Listen to the teacher's summary, take notes if necessary, and understand the homework requirements. 教学反思 After this class, overall, students showed great enthusiasm in the activities. The lead - in part successfully aroused their interest in junior high school life and the topic of making a wishing tree. However, in the process of teaching, some students still had difficulties in using the simple future tense accurately to express their complex plans. Also, when sharing their plans in groups, some students were a bit shy and less active. In future teaching, more practice on the simple future tense should be provided, and more ways to encourage students to actively participate in group work need to be explored. For example, setting up more competitive group activities to stimulate students' participation enthusiasm. In addition, some students' wishes were rather general, and it was a bit challenging for them to make very specific plans. Teachers can give more detailed guidance in this aspect, such as providing more examples of specific wishes and corresponding plans, to help students better transform their wishes into practical actions. 2 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 $
