教学目标
1. Language Competence
•Grammatical Knowledge Mastery: Students are guided to understand the rules of verb-ing forms as attributives and adverbials.
•Contextual Language Application: Through exercises such as sentence filling, clause-to-verb-ing transformation, and continuation writing rewriting, students apply verb-ing forms to practical language scenarios.
2. Cultural Awareness
•Cross-Cultural Context Perception: The lesson’s example sentences and practice materials involve universal themes such as interpersonal respect, professional dedication, and integrity—values shared across diverse cultures.
3. Thinking Quality
•Logical Thinking Development: In the "rule exploration" session, students analyze groups of example sentences. This process requires students to sort out connections between language forms and meanings, train their ability to induct general rules from specific examples, and form clear logical thinking chains.
4. Learning Ability
•Strategy Mastery: Through "hierarchical exercises", students learn to break down complex learning tasks into manageable steps, mastering the strategy of "from simple to complex" in grammar learning.
•Independent Learning and Reflection: After completing exercises, students are guided to self-check answers and summarize error-prone points.
教学重难点
Teaching Key Points:
•The positional rules of verb-ing forms as attributives (the difference between single verb-ing forms and verb-ing phrases).
•The usage and positional characteristics of verb-ing forms as adverbials with different functions (time, condition, reason, accompaniment, result).
•The correct application of active, passive, and perfect forms of verb-ing.
Teaching Difficult Points:
•The judgment of the logical subject-predicate relationship between verb-ing forms (as adverbials) and the subject of the main clause.
•The differentiated application between the perfect form (having done/having been done) and the simple form (doing/being done) of verb-ing.
学情分析(SWOT)
Strengths: Senior One students have accumulated preliminary knowledge of non-finite verbs through junior high school English learning. The "guessing game" and "group rule exploration" designed in the lesson align with their learning preferences.
Weaknesses: Students often struggle with distinguishing similar grammatical forms. For example, they may mix up the usage of verb-ing forms (being done) as attributives (expressing ongoing passivity) with infinitives (to be done, expressing future passivity) and past participles (done, expressing completed passivity).
Opportunities:The example sentences and practice materials are closely related to daily campus and life scenarios, making it easier for students to connect new knowledge with familiar contexts. Additionally, the inclusion of adapted college entrance examination questions helps students recognize the practical value of the knowledge, motivating them to learn proactively.
Threats: Some students with weak foundations may fall behind during group rule exploration. If not addressed in a timely manner, this gap may widen as the lesson progresses. Students may carry misconceptions from previous non-finite verb learning.

Guessing game
(Let students guess a classmate or a teacher according to the descriptions from the host )
She is an amazing girl, wearing a pair of glasses.
Though having a beautiful face, she never thinks she is beautiful.
Having learnt to dance for seven years, she has a healthy and slim figure.
She participated in the sports meet last year but didn’t win in the running event.______?
The teacher waving his hand to students is a handsome man.
Having a handsome face, he isn’t aware that he is handsome.
Standing on the teaching stage, he greets us passionately as usual.
He is our Smiling Tiger._______?
By using a guessing game with vivid, life-like sentences (e.g., "She is an amazing girl, wearing a pair of glasses"), the lesson connects abstract verb-ing forms to concrete character descriptions.
Two short audios made by the teacher, which not only captures students’ attention but also helps them perceive grammar in a relaxed, scenario-based context—alleviating their fear of complex grammatical rules.
Verb-ing forms as attributives
(Rewrite the following sentences using Verb-ing forms as attributives)
1.The boy who is writing is widely recognized to be the most diligent in the class.
______________is widely recognized to be the most diligent in the class.
2. A team of classmates who draw a classroom newspaper are receiving a warm applause from the class.
A team of classmates_____________ are receiving a warm applause from the class.
3.A group of athletes who are being praised now have fulfilled their mission eventually.
A group of athletes___________have fulfilled their mission eventually.
Task 1:working out the rules
①The verb-ing form can be used like an adjective, indicating a(n) (1)_______ (active/passive) meaning.
②When the verb-ing form is used as an attributive, it often comes (2)_______(before/after) the noun, but the verb-ing phrase used as an attributive is usually put (3)_____(before/after) the noun.
③Verb-ing phrase used as an attributive can also be used to express a passive meaning, that is, (4)__________
Task 2:fundamental exercises
(1)The town’s water comes from the ___________ (surround) hills.
(2)An investigation group ___________ (consist) of five men and two women has been sent to the spot to look into the matter.
(3)The book ______________ (discuss) now will be published next month.
Task 3:challenging exercises
The stadium_________(build) in the following year in our city is intended for the coming Asian Games.
The stadium ___________(build) in 2024 in our city is intended for the coming Asian Games.
The stadium___________(build) at present in our city is intended for the coming Asian Games.
名师指津:_______________作后置定语,表示正在进行的被动动作; _______________作后置定语,表示将来的被动动作;_______________作后置定语,表示已经完成的被动动作。
This design shifts the role of students from "passive listeners" to "active explorers," helping them construct grammatical knowledge through their own thinking—improving memory retention and understanding of rules.
This "side-by-side comparison" design simplifies abstract temporal logic into concrete scenarios, making it easier for students to grasp the core distinction (ongoing vs. future vs. completed passivity).
All the pictures are made by Doubao to activate students’ interest and simplify the difficulty of the understanding of the grammatical rules.
Verb-ing forms as adverbials
(Rewrite the following sentences using Verb-ing forms as adverbials.)
1.When they walk towards the teacher’s office, they will find many classmates have already surrounded the teacher with questions.(时间状语: Adverbial of time)
________________________________, they will find many classmates have already surrounded the teacher with questions.
2.If they listen to the class carefully and attentively, they will make great progress and succeed sooner or later.(条件状语: Adverbial of condition)
________________________________, they will make great progress and succeed sooner or later.
3.Because they have been commended several times, they make a determination to study in their spare time once again.(原因状语: Adverbial of reason)
________________________________, they make a determination to study in their spare time once again.
4.They sit on the laboratory excitedly, discuss with each other and perform the experiment.(伴随状语: Adverbial of accompaniment)
They sit on the laboratory excitedly, ________________________________.
5.All the students made a joint effort in the football match, so they won the match without doubt.(结果状语: Adverbial of result)
All the students made a joint effort in the football match, _______________________.
Task 1:working out the rules
①The verb-ing form can be used like an adverb, indicating a(n) (1) _________(active/passive) meaning.
②When the verb-ing form is used as an adverb to indicate time, condition and reason, it often comes (2)________(before/after) the sentence, but the verb-ing form used as an adverb to indicate accompaniment or result is usually put (3) _________(before/after) the sentence.
③Verb-ing form as an adverb can express an action that had happened before the main clause, and the form is, (4)________________.Meawhile, it can also be used to indicate a passive meaning, that is,(5)_______________.
Task 2:fundamental exercises
(1)The national park has a big collection of wildlife,________(range) from butterflies to elephants.
(2)_______________(raise) on a farm, Tim knows a lot about farm animals now.
(3)(2023全国乙卷)____________(visit) several times over the last 10 years, I was amazed by the co-existence of old and new, and how a city was able to keep such a rich heritage while constantly growing.
Task 3:challenging exercises
(1) I hurried to the station, only_______(find) the train gone.
An earthquake hit the city, ________(cause) 10 deaths.
(2) He returned after the war, only________(tell)that his wife had left him.
(3)Science and technology is developing very quickly, ________(make) life much easier for many people.
名师指津:动词不定式作结果状语,表_____________结果, 常和only连用;动词-ing作结果状语,表主句动作所带来的____________结果。
By classifying verb-ing adverbials into five functions (time, condition, reason, accompaniment, result) and matching each to a typical conversion example, the lesson helps students form a clear "function-form" mapping. This prevents confusion between different adverbial types and lays a foundation for flexible application in context.
By analyzing these contrasting examples, students learn to judge the suitability of language forms based on context—moving beyond mechanical memorization to meaning-based application.
The questions (e.g., "______ (raise) on a farm") require students to integrate knowledge of verb-ing perfect passive forms and logical reasoning. This challenges advanced students to apply rules in complex contexts, avoiding "under-challenging" and promoting their in-depth thinking.
Consolidation exercise
Verb-ing forms改写段落(读后续写)(2024新高考Ⅰ卷)
I ran back to Gunter and told him the bad news. I was overwhelmed, and didn't know how to handle the tricky situation. At this point, a daring and unreasonable idea occurred to me. I said to Gunter, "I have to catch this bus. I'll be back in four days and can repay you then. I know we just met..." Much to my astonishment, Gunter nodded before I was finished. I jotted down his phone number and promised I would call him on my return trip and pay the fee. As the bus was about to set off, I grabbed my bags and dashed toward it in an instant.
Four days later, when I was back in Vienna, I called Gunter as promised. After he had recognized my voice, he answered with a cheerful "Hello" .When we met at the appointed café, I handed him an envelope that contained the money. Gunter only accepted the taxi fare and shrugged off my attempt to insist he take it all. "Did you make it to your conference?" he inquired. I nodded and thanked him again for his kindness to a stranger. Over time, our paths continued to intersect as we became close friends, and shared meals and stories whenever I visited Vienna.
This design helps students understand how grammar can improve the coherence and richness of writing, realizing the "pragmatic value" of grammar.
Group-based rewriting encourages students to discuss the best way to apply verb-ing forms. Peer communication not only helps students learn from each other but also deepens their understanding of how grammar interacts with context.
Summary
By emphasizing core error-prone points (e.g., logical subject consistency, result adverbial distinction), the lesson guides students to reflect on potential mistakes in advance.
This "proactive reminder" helps them avoid common errors in subsequent practice and homework.
Homework
1.Basic tasks:P35 B1、B2; P70 C and exercises on the handout;
2.Advanced tasks:exercises from college entrance examination training;
3.Extended tasks:rewriting their own compositions.
The homework is closely aligned with the lesson content, allowing students to consolidate what they have learned in a timely manner.
It provides the teacher with feedback on students’ mastery.

4. Adverbial of Result: doing (natural result) vs only to do (unexpected result)
教学反思
1. Teaching Highlights
1.1 Contextualized and Interactive Teaching Design Stimulates Learning Engagement
The lesson abandoned the traditional "teacher-centered rule explanation" model and adopted a contextualized design closely linked to students’ daily experiences and cognitive characteristics.
1.2 Hierarchical Practice System Bridges Knowledge and Application
A three-level practice system—"basic consolidation → difficult breakthrough → practical application"—was constructed to meet the learning needs of students at different levels.
1.3 Integration of College Entrance Examination Orientation Enhances Practical Value Perception
The lesson fully integrated college entrance examination elements into teaching activities. For example, the challenging exercises included adapted questions from the 2023 National Volume B, and the consolidation session used the continuation writing format of the New College Entrance Examination to guide students to apply verb-ing forms.
2. Teaching Shortcomings
2.1 Insufficient Attention to Individual Differences Leads to Uneven Learning Progress
During the rule exploration session, students with strong foundations quickly summarized the rules of verb-ing as adverbials, while students with weak foundations struggled to follow the discussion pace and even remained silent throughout the process.
2.2 Inadequate Practice and Feedback on Key Difficult Points
The practice and feedback on key difficult points were not in-depth enough. When checking exercises, the teacher mainly focused on correcting answers rather than analyzing the root causes of students’ mistakes (e.g., why students confused having done with doing).
3. Improvement Measures
3.1 Strengthen In-Depth Teaching of Key Difficult Points with Focused Design
Allocate 8-10 minutes specifically for key difficult points. For "logical subject consistency," design error-correction worksheets with typical mistakes and guide students to find errors by comparing the logical subject of verb-ing and the main clause subject.
3.2 Enhance Classroom Flexibility and Establish a "Question Reserve Mechanism"
Flexible Adjustment of Teaching Process: Leave 5-7 minutes of "flexible time" in the teaching plan. If students raise valuable questions or show obvious confusion about a certain content during the lesson, appropriately extend the explanation time and adjust the subsequent practice progress. In addition, design "extended thinking questions" (e.g., "Can verb-ing forms be used as predicates? Why?") to inspire students’ curiosity and promote in-depth learning beyond the lesson content.
