Unit 7 Period 4 Section B 1a–2b教学设计 2025-2026学年人教版七年级英语下册

Unit 7: A Day to Remember (Period 4: Section B 1a–2b) I. Teaching Aims Language Ability: To comprehend the diary entry about a farm visit, extracting key information about events, activities, and the writer’s feelings. To use the simple past tense and descriptive language learned from the model text to write a coherent personal diary entry about a past school trip. Learning Capacity: To apply reading strategies (skimming for gist, scanning for details, using graphic organizers) to understand a first-person narrative. To learn and use the structure of a diary entry (date, chronological order, reflection) in writing. Thinking Quality: To infer the writer’s attitudes and the underlying message (e.g., the value of hard work) from the diary. To evaluate and organize personal experiences, selecting and sequencing key events for a narrative. Cultural Awareness & Life Skills: To reflect on the value of hands-on experiences and appreciate the work behind food production. To recognize diary-keeping as a tool for self-reflection, memory preservation, and personal growth. II. Key & Difficult Points Key Points:​ Understanding the content and structure of Sam’s diary; writing a personal diary entry using the past tense. Difficult Points:​ Transitioning from reading comprehension to guided writing; expressing personal feelings and reflections authentically in writing; using chronological connectors effectively. III. Teaching Procedures Step 1: Lead-in – Engage & Personalize (6 mins) Activity: Quick Poll & Think-Pair-Share Poll:​ “Raise your hand if you have ever kept a diary or journal. Thumbs up if you think it’s a good idea, thumbs down if not.” Think:​ Give students 1 minute to think of one reason​ for or against keeping a diary. Pair-Share:​ Students share their reason with a partner. Class Share:​ Invite a few pairs to share. Introduce the lesson: “Today, we’ll read someone’s diary about a special day and then write one of our own.” Step 2: Pre-reading – Predict & Prepare (1a) (7 mins) Activity: Benefits Brainstorm & Categorize In small groups, students brainstorm benefits of keeping a diary. Encourage them to think beyond the textbook. Groups share ideas. Teacher clusters them on the board under categories like: For Memory​ (remember details), For Feelings​ (express emotions), For Skills​ (improve writing), For Ideas​ (spark creativity). Link:​ “Let’s read Sam’s diary. Which of these benefits do you think it gave him?” Step 3: While-reading I – Global Understanding (1b) (8 mins) Activity: First Read – The 5W Hunt Task:​ Read Sam’s diary quickly. Find and underline: Who, When, Where, What​ (main event), and one word for How​ he felt. Pair Check:​ Students compare their 5W findings. Class Feedback:​ Establish basic comprehension. (Who: Sam; When: May 20th; Where: A farm; What: A school trip/visit; How: interested, great fun). Step 4: While-reading II – Detailed Comprehension & Sequencing (1c) (8 mins) Activity: Second Read – Process Mapping Students read the diary again carefully to complete the flowchart in 1c (explored; fields; tables; picked; cut). Peer Check & Retell:​ In pairs, Student A uses the completed flowchart to retell Sam’s day in order without looking at the diary. Student B listens and corrects. Then switch. This turns information extraction into a speaking output activity. Step 5: While-reading III – Inferential Thinking (1d) (8 mins) Activity: Read Between the Lines Students answer the comprehension questions in 1d. Deep-Dive Discussion:​ After checking answers, ask inferential questions: “Why does Sam say the vegetables ‘certainly taste better’? Is it only about the taste?” (Links to pride, accomplishment). “What do you think is the ‘most important thing’ Sam learned? Is it just about farming?” (The value of hard work applies to many things). This elevates the task from literal comprehension to interpretation. Step 6: Pre-writing – Deconstruct & Plan (2a & Bridge) (10 mins) Activity 1: Model Text Analysis (Bridge) Draw a “Diary Entry Framework” on the board. Co-construct with students what Sam included in each part: Part 1: Setting​ (Date, Weather, Place, People) Part 2: Events​ (What happened? In order.) Part 3: Feelings/Thoughts​ (How did I feel? What did I learn?) Activity 2: Planning My Diary (2a) Students use the same framework​ to plan their own diary entry about a school trip. They fill in notes for each part. Language Support:​ Provide a “Feelings Word Bank” (excited, bored, curious, tired, proud, surprised) and “Sequencing Word Box” (First, Then, After that, Later, Finally). Step 7: While-writing – Draft with Support (2b) (12 mins) Activity: Guided Writing Time Students start writing their first draft based on their plan. Teacher’s Role:​ Circulate and provide “just-in-time” support. Focus on helping students get ideas down, not perfect grammar at this stage. Ask prompting questions: “How did you feel at that moment? What can you add to describe the place?” Encourage use of the past tense and the language support on the board. Step 8: Post-writing – Share & Reflect (5 mins) Activity: Author’s Chair (Volunteer Basis) Invite 1-2 confident students to read their diary entry to the class. Focused Feedback:​ After each reading, ask the class for one thing they liked​ about the entry (content, a word, a feeling expressed). The teacher gives one specific strength​ and one gentle suggestion​ for improvement (e.g., “Great use of ‘First, we…’. Maybe you can add how you felt when you saw the museum.”). IV. Blackboard Design Unit 7: A Day to Remember Writing a Diary Entry Sam’s Diary Framework: 1. SETTING: Date, Weather, Where, Who 2. EVENTS: (First...) → (Then...) → (After that...) 3. FEELINGS/THOUGHTS: I felt... I learned... My Writing Plan (2a): [Setting] [Events] [Feelings] Language Help: - Feelings: excited, proud, tired... - Sequence: First, Then, Finally... V. Tiered Homework Level 1 (Consolidation):​ Finish the first draft of your diary entry. Make sure it has the three parts from our framework. Level 2 (Challenge & Extension):​ 1) Revise your draft. Add at least two more descriptive adjectives or feeling words. 2) Write one more sentence answering: “Would you like to have this day again? Why or why not?” VI. Teaching Reflection (Guiding Questions) Did the graphic organizer (flowchart) and framework analysis effectively bridge the gap between reading Sam’s diary and planning their own? During writing, what was the most common struggle: generating ideas, using past tense, sequencing events, or expressing feelings? How can I provide more effective scaffolding for expressing personal reflections in the next writing lesson? Was the “Author’s Chair” feedback session productive? How can I train students to give more specific peer feedback in the future? 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
