教学过程

教学环节

学习活动（包含设计意图）

Step 1: Warming-up & Lead-in (5 minutes)

Greet the class as usual.

Show some vivid pictures of different festivals around the world on the screen, such as colorful lanterns of Chinese Lantern Festival, Santa Claus on Christmas, and children wearing costumes on Halloween.

Design Intent: The vivid pictures can directly stimulate students’ visual senses, quickly arouse their interest in festivals, and lead them to think about the festivals they know, thus smoothly introducing the topic of this class.

Interaction: Ask students to share the festivals they recognize in the pictures briefly. For example, “Can you tell me the name of this festival? What do you know about it?”

Step 2: Presentation (10 minutes)

Divide students into groups of four or five.

Distribute a chart to each group. The chart has columns like “Festival Name”, “Time”, “Typical Activities”, “Symbols” etc.

Instruct students to search for information about festivals and holidays. They can use their textbooks, mobile phones (if allowed in class) or their own knowledge.
