教学过程
教学环节
学习活动(包含设计意图)
Lead - in (5 minutes)
Activity: Show some pictures of different natural disasters, such as a typhoon destroying houses, an earthquake causing the ground to crack, and a flood submerging villages, on the PPT. Then ask students to name the natural disasters they see.
Questions: "What natural disasters are these? Have you ever experienced any of them? How did you feel at that time?"
Design Intent: Activate students' prior knowledge about natural disasters, arouse their interest in the topic, and create a context for the following learning.
Presentation (12 minutes)
Activity: Present some words and phrases related to natural disasters and emergency situations on the PPT, such as "typhoon", "earthquake", "flood", "lightning", "power cut", "in fear", "in all directions", etc. Let students read them aloud first, and then explain the meanings and usages of some difficult words. For example, when explaining "in all directions", show a picture of people running in different directions and say "Look, when there is an emergency, people will run in all directions."
Task: Divide students into pairs. One student says a word, and the other student uses it to make a sentence. Then they switch roles.
Design Intent: Review and strengthen students' memory of relevant vocabulary, and at the same time, train their ability to use words in sentences through pair - work.
Practice (15 minutes)
Activity 1: Tell students that they are going to listen to a conversation between two people about a natural disaster. Before listening, show them some questions on the PPT, such as "What natural disaster are they talking about?", "What were the speakers doing when the disaster happened?" Play the audio for the first time, and let students listen carefully and try to answer the general questions.
Activity 2: Play the audio again. This time, ask students to take notes and fill in a form on the handout. The form includes columns like "Natural disaster", "What the boy was doing", "What the girl was doing", "What happened finally".
Check the answers: Invite several students to share their answers, and then play the audio for the third time if necessary for students to check and correct their answers.
Design Intent: Through listening practice, train students' ability to obtain key information from the audio, and also help them review and apply the past continuous tense.
Production (10 minutes)
Presentation: Use some sentences from the listening material, such as "I was doing my homework when the earthquake started." Write them on the blackboard. Explain the structure of the past continuous tense: was/were + verb - ing. Then show more examples on the PPT, like "She was watching TV at 8 o'clock last night." and "They were playing football when it began to rain."
Comparison: Compare the past continuous tense with the simple past tense. Write two sentences on the blackboard: "I watched TV last night." and "I was watching TV at 8 o'clock last night." Explain the differences in meaning and usage. The simple past tense emphasizes the completion of an action in the past, while the past continuous tense emphasizes an action in progress at a certain time in the past.
Practice: Give students some prompts, such as "at 9 o'clock yesterday morning", "when the teacher came into the classroom", and ask them to make sentences using the past continuous tense. Let several students share their sentences.
Design Intent: Make students understand the past continuous tense clearly through examples, comparison and practice, and be able to use it correctly in sentences.
Summary and Homework (3 minutes)
Summary: Review the key points of this class with students, including the vocabulary of natural disasters and emergency situations, the past continuous tense, and the listening and speaking practice. Ask students to summarize what they have learned in this class.
Homework:
Ask students to write a short passage about an emergency or natural disaster they have experienced or known. They should use at least five new words and phrases and the past continuous tense in the passage.
Ask students to collect more information about how to deal with different natural disasters and share it in the next class.
Design Intent: The writing assignment can help students further consolidate the knowledge learned in class, and the information - collection task can expand their knowledge and cultivate their self - learning ability.
