教学理念
This lesson is guided by core competencies and adopts a student-centered teaching approach, focusing on developing students’ language proficiency, cultural awareness, critical thinking, and learning ability within authentic contexts.
教材解析
What:The text is taken from the required course book 1, published by People’s Education Press which is intended for students to choose “Living Legends of Sports”.
It introduces two athletes, Lang Ping and Michael Jordan, who are masters in their respective sports (volleyball and basketball) and set good examples for others. The text describes their achievements, the challenges they faced, and their positive qualities.
Why: The purpose is to invite readers to help select “Living Legends of Sports” by presenting these two athletes as prime examples. It aims to highlight the excellence, determination, and inspiring stories of outstanding athletes, encouraging readers to recognize and appreciate such sports figures.
How: The text employs a clear, accessible, and persuasive structure and style to achieve its purposes.
·Structure: The text starts with a call to action to choose living legends, then provides introductions to Lang Ping and Michael Jordan separately. Each athlete’s section outlines their career highlights, struggles, and admirable traits.
·Language: It uses descriptive language to depict the athletes’ accomplishments (e.g., “brought honour and glory”, “changed basketball”) and challenges (e.g., “the team... was falling apart”, “learning from his failures”). It also employs a narrative style to tell their stories, making the content engaging.

拓展延伸 作业
作业内容
设计思路
Option A: Create a “Living Legend” Poster
Choose an athlete you admire. Create a digital or hand-drawn poster. Your poster must include:
1. A short biography highlighting their key achievements and challenges.
2. At least 5 words from the unit’s vocabulary list.
3. A section explaining why they are a “living legend”—focusing on both their mastery AND the example they set.
This task is visual and creative, appealing to different learning styles. It moves beyond simple paragraph writing to encourage information synthesis, design thinking, and concise justification. The clear checklist ensures all learning objectives (vocabulary, content, values) are met.
Option B: Record a 1-Minute Video Tribute
Prepare and record a short video (about 1 minute) introducing your chosen “living legend.” In your video:
1. Describe who they are and their major achievement.
2. Use at least 5 words from the vocabulary list.
3. Explain one important lesson we can learn from them.
This task integrates
speaking and digital literacy skills, making it highly relevant for modern students. It promotes fluency, pronunciation practice, and concise communication.
The personal touch of a video can increase student engagement and ownership of learning.
For Both Options:
Add a Self-Reflection: Answer in 1-2 sentences: Which quality of your chosen athlete inspires you most in your own life?
The self-reflection component is crucial. It prompts students to internalize the values discussed in class (determination, resilience) and connect them to their own experiences, fostering personal growth alongside language acquisition.
