Unit 8 Natural disasters 课题 Lesson 1: Disaster safety tips 课型 Listening and speaking I. Teaching Objectives​ By the end of this lesson, students will be able to: Language Knowledge:​ Master key vocabulary: disaster, earthquake, typhoon, wildfire, powerful, object, indoors, shut. Use sentence patterns to describe safety measures: “When it comes to typhoons, we should stay indoors.” “If an earthquake happens, we should stay calm and find shelter.” “We need to have something strong around us to protect us from falling objects.” Language Skills:​ Listen to conversations about natural disasters and extract key safety tips. Discuss and give advice on how to stay safe during different disasters. Write a short paragraph about safety measures for a chosen natural disaster. Learning Strategies:​ Use context clues and visual aids (pictures, videos) to understand new vocabulary. Collaborate in pairs or groups to share ideas and complete tasks. Affective Attitude & Cultural Awareness:​ Recognize the importance of being prepared for natural disasters. Develop a sense of responsibility for personal and community safety. Understand that natural disasters are global issues, and safety knowledge is universal. II. Teaching Key Points​ Key vocabulary: disaster, earthquake, typhoon, wildfire, powerful, object, indoors, shut. Sentence patterns for giving safety advice: “When it comes to ______, we should ______.” “If ______ happens, we should ______.” Listening for specific information in a conversation about disaster safety. III. Teaching Difficult Points​ Accurately using the target vocabulary and sentence patterns in spoken and written English. Organizing and presenting safety tips logically for different types of disasters. Understanding and using the structure “protect...from...”(e.g., “protect us from falling objects”) . IV. Teaching Procedures​ Step 1: Warm-up & Lead-in (5 minutes)​ Show pictures of natural disasters (earthquake, typhoon, flood, wildfire) and ask: “What can you see in the pictures?” “What do you know about these disasters?” Introduce the topic: “Today we will learn how to stay safe during natural disasters.” Step 2: Vocabulary Presentation (10 minutes)​ Present the target vocabulary with pictures and simple definitions: disaster: a sudden event that causes great damage or loss of life. earthquake: sudden shaking of the ground. typhoon: a huge storm with strong winds and heavy rain. wildfire: a large fire that spreads quickly in nature. powerful: having great strength or force. object: a thing that you can see or touch. indoors: inside a building. shut: to close something firmly. Drill pronunciation and check understanding with quick matching exercises (word to picture). Step 3: Listening Activity (10 minutes)​ Play the conversation from the textbook (Mr. Green and students discussing safety tips) . Students complete the table in the textbook (matching disasters with safety tips). Check answers as a class and highlight key sentences: “For typhoons, we should stay indoors, away from windows.” “If an earthquake happens, we should stay calm and quickly find shelter.” “We should shut all windows and doors.” Step 4: Language Focus & Practice (15 minutes)​ Sentence Pattern Practice:​ Write sentence frames on the board: “When it comes to ______, we should ______.” “If ______ happens, we should ______.” Students work in pairs to create sentences for different disasters using the vocabulary. Role-play Activity:​ In pairs, students act out a conversation between a teacher and a student, asking and giving safety advice for a chosen disaster. Encourage use of the target vocabulary and sentence patterns. Step 5: Reading & Writing Task (15 minutes)​ Students read the short passage “Staying safe in an earthquake” from the textbook . Underline key safety tips and discuss: “What should you do if you are inside/outside/in a car during an earthquake?” Writing Task:​ Choose one natural disaster (earthquake, typhoon, flood, or wildfire). Write 5–6 safety tips using the target vocabulary and sentence patterns. Example: “When it comes to typhoons, we should stay indoors and shut all windows. We need to protect ourselves from powerful winds.” Step 6: Consolidation & Extension (10 minutes)​ Group Discussion:​ In small groups, students create a poster titled “Disaster Safety Tips.” Include pictures, key vocabulary, and 3–4 safety tips for one disaster. Presentation:​ Each group briefly presents their poster to the class. Class votes on the most useful safety tips. Step 7: Summary & Homework Assignment (5 minutes)​ Review key vocabulary and sentence patterns. Emphasize the importance of being prepared and knowing how to stay safe. V. Homework​ Vocabulary Practice:​ Write each target word 3 times and create a sentence for each. Writing Task:​ Choose a natural disaster not covered in class (e.g., tornado, tsunami). Research and write 5 safety tips in English. Project (Optional):​ Create a family emergency plan for one type of disaster. Include steps like “stay indoors,” “shut windows,” and “have something strong to protect from falling objects.” 板书设计 Lesson 1: Disaster safety tips 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
