Unit1 Spring is coming Lesson5教学设计-2025-2026学年冀教版英语八年级下册

Unit 1 Lesson 5 Jeremy’s Observation Diary 教学设计 科目 英语 年级 八年级下册 课时安排 1课时 核心素养目标  语言能力：能读懂观察日记，掌握描述植物生长、天气状况的词汇与句型；能口头和书面完成自己的植物观察日记。文化意识：了解农业种植的意义，体会劳动与生命成长的价值。思维品质：能梳理观察日记的逻辑结构（日期-天气-观察记录），对比不同阶段植物生长变化，培养细致观察与有序表达能力。学习能力：通过阅读、小组合作、实践记录，提升信息提取与书面表达能力，养成科学观察习惯。 教学重难点 教学重点：掌握词汇及描述天气（Weather conditions: ...）、观察记录（The plant... / It is...）、生长变化（...grew into... / become...）等句型；掌握观察日记的结构，能从文本中提取植物生长信息，完成仿写。 教学难点：用英语连贯描述植物不同阶段的生长变化；结合天气与生长情况，完成逻辑清晰、内容详实的观察日记写作。 教学过程——主要思路 Step 1: Warm-up & Lead-in 1. Show & Talk T: (Show a pea plant photo) Look! This is a pea plant. What parts can you see? Ss: Stem, leaves, flowers, pods... T: Do you know how it grows? Today we’ll read Jeremy’s observation diary about his pea plant. 设计意图：通过直观图片激活学生对植物的认知，引入主题，激发阅读兴趣。 2. Vocabulary Preview Teach key words with pictures: bud: Show a small plant bud stem: Point to the stem of a plant bloom: Show a blooming flower observation diary: Show Jeremy’s diary sample 设计意图：提前扫清阅读词汇障碍，符合学生认知规律。 Step 2: Pre-reading T: Look at Jeremy’s diary. What information can we find in an observation diary? Ss: Date, weather, what the plant looks like... 设计意图：引导学生预测观察日记的结构，培养阅读预判能力。 Step 3: While-reading Activity 1: Skimming Task: Read Jeremy’s 3 diary entries quickly and answer: 1. What plant is Jeremy growing? (Pea plant) 2. How many stages of growth does he record? (3 stages: seed → bud → bloom) Check answers with the class. 设计意图：训练快速阅读能力，提取文本核心信息。 Activity 2: Scanning & Information Sorting 1. Group work: Divide students into 3 groups, each group responsible for one diary entry. Task: Find the following information in your group’s entry: Date Weather conditions (temperature + weather) Observations (what the plant looks like) 2. Share results: Each group presents their findings, and the teacher helps complete a class table: Date Weather conditions Observations Mar 3 Sunny, 18°C Seeds grew into buds; look like letter "Y" Mar 30 Cloudy, 19°C Long, thin stems and some leaves; little flower buds at the top of stems Apr 3 Rainy, 22°C Flowers in full bloom; some pink and purple; pea plants grow taller 设计意图：通过小组合作梳理细节信息，帮助学生建立观察日记的结构化认知，为写作搭建框架。 Step 4: Post-reading Activity 1: Discuss planting experience Pair work: Discuss with your partner using the questions: 1. Did you ever grow a plant? 2. How did you take care of it? 3. What did you learn about the process of planting? Share 2-3 groups’ answers with the class. 设计意图：联结生活经验，激活学生表达欲，为写作积累素材。 Activity 2: Learn plant parts T: (Show the plant diagram) Label the parts: root, stem, leaf, flower, pea pod. Ss: Label the diagram together. 设计意图：补充植物相关词汇，丰富描述内容。 Activity 3: Write your own observation diary 1. Model the structure: T: Our observation diary has 3 parts: Name of the plant → Date → Weather conditions → Observations → Picture. Show the template from the textbook. 2. Group writing: Each group chooses a plant (from the textbook pictures: tomato, potato, sunflower...). Write a short observation diary together, using the sentence frames: Weather conditions: ____, temperature around ____°C Observations: The plant ____. It is ____. 3. Share: 2 groups read their diaries to the class. 设计意图：通过模板支架降低写作难度，让学生能完成结构化输出，实现从输入到输出的迁移。 Step 5: Summary & Homework 1. Summary T: Today we learned how to read and write an observation diary. We know the structure: date, weather, and what the plant looks like. 设计意图：回顾本节课核心内容，强化知识体系。 2. Homework 1.  Finish your group’s observation diary and draw a picture of your plant. 2.  Grow a small plant at home (e.g., bean, sunflower) and record its growth for 2 weeks. Prepare to share your experience in the next class. 设计意图：将课堂学习延伸到课外实践，培养科学观察与持续写作能力。 五、板书设计 Lesson 5 Jeremy’s Observation Diary Observation Diary Structure Date Mar 3 / Mar 30 / Apr 3 Weather Sunny/Cloudy/Rainy + temp Observations Seeds → buds → bloom grow taller / in full bloom Plant parts: root, stem, leaf, flower, pod Key sentences: The plant grew into...
