Unit 1 Spring is coming!
Lesson 6 The 24 Solar terms
教学重点分析:学完本课后,学生能够用一般现在时描述自然规律,重点掌握 “时间+节气+特征+人类活动” 的描述逻辑,并积累关于农耕、气候、传统文化方面的词汇,用于向外国人介绍中国文化。
一、 核心词汇与短语
· 节气相关:
· Start of Spring (立春), Rain Water (雨水), Jingzhe (惊蛰), Spring Equinox (春分), Qingming (清明), Grain Rain (谷雨)
· 农耕与自然:
· farming / agriculture (农业)
· harvest (收获)
· sow seeds (播种)
· nourish the soil (滋养土壤)
· hibernation (冬眠)
· 时间描述:
· mark the beginning of... (标志着...的开始)
· fall around... (适逢/发生在...左右)
· take place (发生)
二、 重点句型与语法
· 描述时间/日期的表达:
· 句型: It usually falls / takes place / arrives around + 日期.
· 例句: It usually falls around February 3 to 5.
· 知识点: 学会用 fall / take place 来表述节气的发生时间。
· it 作形式主语的句型:
· 句型: It is + 时间 + when + 从句.
· 例句: It is a time when people honour their ancestors.
· 知识点: 这里的 when 引导定语从句,修饰 time。
· 非谓语动词(动词-ing形式作宾语/主语补足语):
· 句型: see / hear + 宾语 + doing (表示看到/听到动作正在进行)
· 例句: We see new plants grow and animals become active... 以及 We might hear more birds singing...
· 知识点: 注意区分 see sb do (看见全过程) 和 see sb doing (看见正在发生)。本课侧重后者。
· 并列结构与动词时态(一般现在时):
· 例句: Farmers sow seeds... and the rain nourishes the soil...
· 知识点: 全文使用一般现在时,因为这是在陈述客观事实和普遍规律。
三、功能意念 (Functional Language) —— 人与自然
· 描述关系: They show us the relationship between humans and nature.
· 发出呼吁: ...call upon us to respect the world around us.
· 知识点: 掌握 call upon sb to do sth (号召某人做某事) 的用法。
四、 语篇与文化 (Discourse & Culture)
· 说明文的逻辑: 文章结构清晰,采用了 “总—分—总” 的结构。
· Para, 1(总): 介绍24节气的意义。
· Para. 2-7(分): 按时间顺序(从2月到4月)介绍具体的6个节气。
· Para.8(总): 总结节气的现实意义(尊重自然)。
· 文化负载词: 如何用英文解释中国特有的文化概念(如 "Jingzhe: insects waking from hibernation")。
五、 写作微技能 (Writing Skills)
· 描述一个节气的模板:
1. 时间: ...falls around...
2. 特征: It marks... / The weather...
3. 现象/活动: We see... / People...
