On the other hand...; Although...）。 3. 准确理解Dr. Green和Mr. Miller等专家的核心观点。 难点： 1. 理解长难句的逻辑关系，特别是包含定语从句和状语从句的复合句。 2. 辩证地看待“竞争”与“快乐童年”之间的矛盾，用英语清晰表达自己的立场。 3. 区分事实（Fact）与观点（Opinion），并能从文中找到支撑观点的依据。 教学环节 Step 1 Warm-up & Lead-in 1. Picture Talk: Show two pictures: one of a student buried in books/classes, another of a student playing sports freely. Ask: “Which life do you prefer? Why?” 2. Brainstorming: List common after-school activities (piano, math Olympiad, soccer, coding). Ask: “Are you busy with these? Do your parents push you?” 3. Prediction: Look at the title “Maybe You Should Learn to Relax!” and the pictures in 2a. Predict: What is the writer’s attitude? Is it positive or negative about busy schedules? Step 2 While-reading (Task 1: Skimming for Structure) 1. Fast Reading: Read the passage quickly (3 mins) and match the main idea with each paragraph: - Para 1: Introduction – The phenomenon of busy children. - Para 2: The Chinese case – Cathy’s busy schedule and her mother’s opinion. - Para 3: The American case – Taylor’s family and the pressure to compete. - Para 4: Expert opinions – Dr. Green & Mr. Miller’s advice on relaxation and normal childhood. 2. Structure Analysis: Identify the logical flow: Problem -> Examples (CN & US) -> Solutions/Expert Advice. Step 3 While-reading (Task 2: Scanning for Details) 1. Detail Hunt (2b): Read carefully and answer specific questions: - What does Cathy do after school? (Homework, basketball training, piano lessons). - Why does Linda’s mom sign her up for so many classes? (Wants her to be successful, compete with others). - What does Dr. Green say about comparing kids? (It’s crazy/unfair; kids should be kids). 2. Vocabulary in Context: Guess meanings of typical, push, develop based on sentences. Analyze the phrase “cut out some of their activities”. 3. Fact vs. Opinion: Underline facts (e.g., “Cathy takes 3 classes”) and circle opinions (e.g., “It’s important to have free time”). Discuss the difference. Step 4 Post-reading (Task 3: Critical Thinking & Discussion) 1. Debate (2c): Topic: “Should parents push their kids to learn more skills?” - Group A (Pro): Skills help future success; competition is necessary. - Group B (Con): Too much pressure harms health; childhood should be happy. - Use sentence starters: “In my opinion...”, “I agree/disagree because...”, “On the one hand..., but on the other hand...” 2. Role-play Interview: One student acts as a reporter, another as Dr. Green or a stressed parent. Interview about the balance between study and play. 3. Advice Letter: Write a short note (3-4 sentences) to Cathy or Taylor, offering comfort and one piece of practical advice based on the text. Step 5 Summary Summarize the article: Busy Kids -> Reasons (Parents’ fear, Competition) -> Consequences (Stress, No fun) -> Solutions (Relax, Cut out, Be normal). 作业布置 必做：Write a summary of the passage (about 80 words) including the problem, the examples, and the experts’ advice. 选做：Draft a letter to your parents expressing your feelings about your after-school schedule, using at least two phrases from the text (e.g., “on the one hand”, “compare with”). 板书设计 Unit 3 Growing up (Section B 2a-2c) Key Words & Phrases: - opinion, skill, typical, football, cut out, quick, continue - compare...with..., on the one hand... on the other hand..., under pressure Article Structure: 1.
