Lesson 3 Lifestyles
Digital Natives vs Go-getters(111)
My Lifestyle Monologue
Now, let’s explore our own lifestyles by learning from Joe and Li Ying. First, recall the positive and negative aspects of their lifestyles. Then, think about your daily life—how do you spend time online? Do you set goals like Li Ying? Finally, write a blog to describe your lifestyle, showing both the digital fun and the goal - chasing part, just like the examples we discussed.
List the positive (P) and negative (M) aspects of Joe's and Li Ying's lifestyles.
Concept Explanation
“An aspect is a part or feature of something. Positive aspects are good things, and negative aspects are not - so - good things. For example, ‘Reading books is good for knowledge’ is a positive aspect. ‘Watching too much TV is bad for eyes’ is a negative aspect.”
List the positive (P) and negative (M) aspects of Joe's and Li Ying's lifestyles.
“Now, work with your partner. Find at least one positive and one negative aspect of Joe’s and Li Ying’s lifestyles from the text.”
He does a wide range of things online, like studying, chatting, shopping, which is convenient (e.g., comparing quality and prices).
Risk of becoming an “Internet addict,” may not have enough real - life social interactions.
Sets goals, uses time well, participates in various activities (reading, sports, volunteering).
Maybe too focused on goals, lacks relaxation and fun.
Sharing and Discussing
Have pairs share their findings. Encourage: “Explain why you think so.” For example:
“Joe’s positive aspect is that he can get a lot of things done online easily. But the negative is he might lose touch with real friends.”
“Li Ying’s positive is she’s very organized and makes progress. But negative is she might be too serious and miss out on spontaneous fun.”
Discussing Advice - Giving
should,
need to,
might
want to
Brainstorm suggestions for Joe and Li Ying. For Joe: “He should limit online game time and meet friends in person more.” For Li Ying: “She might want to schedule some leisure activities to relax.”
“These help us give advice. Also, when someone gives you advice, you can respond like ‘That’s a good suggestion. I’ll think about that.’”
the jigsaw puzzle of life
🔴 Smart Internet: How to enjoy online fun WITHOUT letting it control you?
🟢 Small Goals: Like Li Ying, what’s ONE tiny goal for THIS WEEK?
🟡 Online & Offline: How to balance screen time and real-life activities DAILY?
🔵 Self-Improvement:
What’s ONE daily habit to become better?
Step 1: Claim Your Topic (10 mins)
Divide the class into 4 groups. Each group picks ONE topic (choose by colors/symbols, or just vote!):
Then, brainstorm 3 SPECIFIC actions for your topic. Write them down (e.g., "Memorize 5 new words before bed" / "Set a 30-minute daily reading rule").
Step 2: Swap & Steal Ideas (12 mins)
Group Swap: Each group sends 1-2 members to visit OTHER groups (no strict rules—just go chat!).
Grab Good Ideas: Listen to other groups’ suggestions, and bring BACK 1 new idea to your team (e.g., "Use a timer for social media" from the Internet group).
Update Your List: Add the new idea to your group’s action plan.
Step 3: Share & Commit (8 mins)
Group Share: Each group shares their BEST idea in 1 sentence: "For self-improvement, we suggest... ".
Personal Commitment: Every student picks 1 idea THEY WANT TO TRY, and say it out loud (e.g., "I’ll read 10 pages of a book every night!").
二、Jigsaw 环节步骤设计
Step 1:初始分组 —— 专家小组(Expert Groups)
任务:4 人小组随机分配,每组领取一个颜色板块(红 / 绿 / 黄 / 蓝),成为该主题的 “专家”。
操作:
小组内讨论对应板块的引导问题,结合课文中 Joe 和 Li Ying 的案例,写出3 条积极人生建议(用简单英语或中英混合),并装饰卡片(画图 / 贴纸 / 符号)。
例(红色组):
✅ Set a 1 - hour screen time limit for games every day.
✅ Use online videos to learn new skills (e.g., cooking, drawing), not just for fun.
每组推选 1 人记录核心建议,其他人补充创意(如用 emoji 图标增强记忆点)。
时间:10 分钟
Step 2:重组分组 —— 拼图分享(Jigsaw Sharing)
任务:打破原小组,重组新 4 人小组(每个新组包含 1 名红 / 绿 / 黄 / 蓝 “专家”),分享各自板块的建议并整合。
操作:
新组成员轮流介绍自己的板块:“I’m the ‘Red Expert’! Our suggestions are about using the Internet wisely. Here’s the first one:...”
其他成员提问或补充:“Can you give an example of how to use online videos for learning?”
共同填写 “人生拼图记录表”(如下),记录 4 个板块的核心建议,并用星号标注最想尝试的 1 条。
板块 核心建议 我的行动计划
红色(网络智慧) 1. Set a daily screen time limit.
2. Use apps like Forest to reduce phone use. 从明天开始,每天晚上 8 点后不用手机玩游戏。
绿色(目标小步) 1. Set “3 - minute goals” (e.g., memorize 5 words).
2. Write goals in a notebook. 每天睡前写 3 个明天要完成的小目标。
黄色(虚实平衡) 1. Have a “family game night” once a week (no phones).
2. Join a school club for offline activities. 本周报名参加学校的绘画社团,每周六线下活动。
蓝色(每日行动) 1. Drink a glass of water as soon as I wake up.
2. Read for 10 minutes before bed. 每天睡前读 10 页英文故事书。
时间:15 分钟
Step 3:全班分享 —— 拼图成果展示
任务:每组推选 1 人,用 “我们组的人生拼图是…… 因为……” 句式,分享整合后的建议及行动计划。
亮点设计:
教师在黑板绘制 “人生拼图板”,每组将核心建议卡片贴在对应颜色区域,形成全班共同的 “积极人生指南”。
发放 “魔法行动贴纸”,学生在记录表上贴上贴纸,承诺践行至少 1 条建议(如:💡红色贴纸 —— 践行网络智慧建议)。
时间:10 分钟
三、环节价值与语言目标
核心价值 语言能力培养 思维与人生观引导
分工协作、倾听与表达 运用 “First,... Second,...”“I suggest...”“What if we...?” 等句式结构化输出建议。 通过具体行动建议,将 “平衡生活”“目标管理” 等抽象概念转化为可操作的小步骤,避免空谈。
Jigsaw 模式强化责任担当(每人都是 “专家”) 学习用简单英语解释建议,必要时用肢体语言或例子辅助理解(如比划 “设定时间限制” 的动作)。 强调 “小改变带来大不同”,引导学生用成长型思维看待自我提升(Progress over perfection)。
四、教具准备
四色卡片(红 / 绿 / 黄 / 蓝,A5 尺寸,背面印引导问题)。
人生拼图记录表(每人 1 张,含板块表格与行动计划栏)。
黑板贴纸 / 磁贴(用于拼贴各组建议,形成可视化成果)。
Self - reflection blog
Do I often have fun online? What effects does this have on my study effect, physical health (such as eyesight, daily routine), and relationships with people in real life?
Do I set clear goals for my study and interest growing like Li Ying? Do these goals help me plan my time better and improve myself?
When online fun meets problems with real - life goals, how do I deal with it?
Take 10 minutes to deeply think about the similarities and differences between your own life and those of Joe and Li Ying.
This link cultivates students’ critical thinking. It guides you to deeply analyze the pros and cons behind behaviors. For example, when thinking about online entertainment, consider "Moderate entertainment relaxes, but excessive entertainment harms study and health". When looking at goal - setting, ponder "Clear goals guide direction, but are they reasonable? How to adjust during execution?" Learn to objectively examine your lifestyle—neither follow blindly nor deny one - sidedly.
What is a Blog?
A blog, short for “weblog,” is like an online journal or diary. It’s a place where you share your thoughts, experiences, and ideas with others. You can write about your life, hobbies, or anything that interests you!
