Difficult Points: Using appropriate language to express emotions and conflicts in the play naturally; coordinating group work to integrate individual ideas into a coherent play; reflecting the theme of effective parent-child communication through the play. 教学过程 Step 1: Lead-in (Warm-up and Topic Introduction) Activity 1: Free Talk & Brainstorming The teacher starts the class with a question: “Do you often have disagreements with your parents? What are they usually about?” Then, invite students to share their own experiences freely, such as conflicts about smartphone use, study pressure, hobbies, pocket money or future dreams. The teacher writes down the key conflict points mentioned by students on the blackboard, such as “spending too much time on phones”, “different opinions on hobbies”, “conflicts between study and entertainment”. After students share, the teacher summarizes: “As teenagers, we are in a period of physical and psychological changes, which often leads to misunderstandings and conflicts with our parents. Today, we will focus on the Project module—creating a short play about parent-child relationships, to explore how to communicate effectively with parents and solve these conflicts.” Design Intention: This activity is closely connected to students’ real life, which can quickly arouse their interest and enthusiasm in learning. By sharing personal experiences, students can feel that the topic is close to them, reducing their anxiety about English expression. Meanwhile, brainstorming helps students sort out common parent-child conflicts, laying a foundation for the subsequent play creation. It also guides students to pay attention to the theme of parent-child communication, which is in line with the unit’s core topic of “Let’s Talk Teens”. Activity 2: Vocabulary and Sentence Pattern Review The teacher presents the core vocabularies and sentence patterns related to the topic, which have been learned in the previous lessons of the unit, such as “conflict”, “misunderstanding”, “communicate”, “compromise”, “disagree with”, “be worried about”, “have a talk with”, “see eye to eye on”, “in my opinion”, “I think we should...”. The teacher asks students to read these words and sentences aloud, and then invites some students to make sentences with them, combining their own experiences of parent-child conflicts. For example, a student may say: “I often disagree with my parents about my hobbies. They think playing the guitar is a waste of time, but I think it can help me relax.” The teacher praises students’ correct expressions and corrects any mistakes in pronunciation or grammar. Then, the teacher summarizes the usage of these words and sentences, emphasizing that they are very useful for expressing conflicts and communication in the short play. Design Intention: Reviewing the learned vocabularies and sentence patterns can help students consolidate their existing knowledge and lay a solid language foundation for the subsequent play creation. By making sentences combined with personal experiences, students can better master the practical application of language, avoiding the separation of language learning and real life. At the same time, this activity can also help students build confidence in English expression, as they can use the knowledge they have learned to express their own ideas. Step 2: Presentation (Understand the Project Requirements and Learn Play Elements) Activity 1: Introduce the Project Task The teacher shows the Project requirements on the screen and reads them aloud clearly: “In this Project, you will work in groups to create a short play about parent-child relationships. The play should include a clear conflict between teens and their parents, analyze the causes of the conflict, and show a reasonable solution. Finally, each group will perform their play in class.” Then, the teacher explains the specific requirements in detail: 1. The play should last for 3-5 minutes, with 3-5 characters. 2. It should have a clear setting (such as home, study room), characters (such as a teen, father, mother), plot (beginning: conflict occurs; development: conflict intensifies; climax: communication and negotiation; ending: conflict solved) and theme (effective parent-child communication, mutual understanding and respect). 3. Students should use the vocabularies and sentence patterns learned in the unit as much as possible. 4. Each group should assign roles reasonably, such as scriptwriter, actor/actress, director. Design Intention: Clearly introducing the project task and specific requirements can help students understand what they need to do, clarify their learning goals, and avoid confusion in the subsequent group work. Breaking down the requirements into specific points makes it easier for students to grasp the key points of the task, ensuring that the play creation is carried out in an orderly manner. At the same time, assigning different roles helps students develop their respective strengths and cultivate their cooperative learning ability. Activity 2: Learn the Elements of a Short Play The teacher presents the four basic elements of a short play on the screen: setting, characters, plot and theme, and explains each element in detail with simple examples. 1. Setting: It refers to the time and place where the play happens. For example, “on a Saturday evening at home”, “in the teen’s study room after school”. The setting should be close to real life, so that the audience can feel the authenticity of the play. 2. Characters: They are the main roles in the play, and each character should have distinct personalities. For example, a teen who is eager to pursue his hobby but is not understood by parents, a strict father who cares about his child’s study but lacks communication, a kind mother who tries to mediate between the teen and the father. The dialogue and actions of the characters should reflect their personalities and emotions. 3. Plot: It is the main content of the play, which should be complete and coherent. It usually includes four parts: beginning (conflict occurs), development (conflict intensifies), climax (communication and negotiation between the two sides), ending (conflict is solved). The plot should be reasonable and not too complicated, so that it can be performed within the specified time. 4. Theme: It is the core idea that the play wants to convey. For this project, the theme should be about effective parent-child communication, mutual understanding, respect and compromise between teens and their parents. After explaining, the teacher plays a short sample play (about 3 minutes) on the screen, which is related to parent-child conflict about smartphone use. After watching the play, the teacher asks students to discuss in pairs: “What is the setting, characters, plot and theme of this sample play?” Then, invite several pairs to share their answers, and the teacher summarizes and comments, helping students further understand the elements of a short play. Design Intention: Learning the elements of a short play is the key to completing the project task. By explaining and combining with a sample play, students can intuitively understand the requirements of each element, which is easier for them to accept than pure theoretical explanation. Watching the sample play can also provide students with inspiration for their own play creation, helping them understand how to integrate the elements into a complete play. The pair discussion activity can also promote the interaction between students and deepen their understanding of the knowledge. Activity 3: Analyze the Causes of Parent-Child Conflicts The teacher asks students to discuss in groups: “Why do conflicts often occur between teens and their parents?” Based on the previous brainstorming and their own experiences, students discuss and summarize the possible causes. The teacher walks around the classroom, guides students to think from different angles, such as physical and psychological changes of teens, different perspectives of parents and teens, lack of communication, different values and so on. After the group discussion, each group sends a representative to share their opinions. The teacher writes down the key causes on the blackboard, such as: 1. Teens are in adolescence, with strong self-awareness and desire for independence, but parents still treat them as children. 2. Parents pay too much attention to their children’s study and ignore their hobbies and feelings. 3. There is a lack of effective communication between teens and their parents; they are not willing to talk to each other about their thoughts. 4. Parents and teens have different values and views on things. Then, the teacher summarizes: “These are the common causes of parent-child conflicts. When you create your short play, you can choose one or two of these causes as the background of the conflict, which can make your play more real and meaningful.” Design Intention: Analyzing the causes of parent-child conflicts can help students better grasp the core of the play’s plot, making the conflict in the play more reasonable and in-depth. Group discussion can stimulate students’ thinking, let them learn from each other’s opinions, and develop their cooperative thinking ability. At the same time, this activity can also help students understand their parents better, cultivate their empathy, which is in line with the goal of cultivating students’ emotional attitude and values. Step 3: Practice (Group Work - Create the Short Play) Activity 1: Group Division and Role Assignment The teacher divides students into groups of 4-5, and asks each group to elect a group leader. The group leader is responsible for organizing the group discussion, assigning roles and coordinating the progress of the play creation. The roles include scriptwriter (responsible for writing the script), actor/actress (responsible for performing the play), director (responsible for guiding the performance, such as dialogue, expression and body language). Each student should choose a role according to their own strengths and interests, and the group leader should ensure that every student participates in the activity. After the role assignment, the teacher reminds students: “Each group should first determine the theme and conflict of the play, then design the setting, characters, plot, and finally write the script. During the process, you should communicate with each other actively, listen to each other’s opinions, and work together to complete the task.” Design Intention: Reasonable group division and role assignment can ensure that every student participates in the group work, giving full play to their respective strengths. The group leader system can improve the efficiency of group work, avoid chaos in the discussion process. Reminding students of the steps of play creation can help them carry out the task in an orderly manner, and cultivate their planning ability and cooperative learning ability. Activity 2: Determine the Play Theme and Conflict Each group holds a discussion to determine the theme and conflict of their play. The teacher walks around the classroom, provides guidance for each group when necessary. For example, if a group is not sure about the conflict, the teacher can remind them to refer to the conflict points summarized in the lead-in part, such as conflicts about hobbies, study, smartphone use, etc. If a group’s theme is not clear, the teacher can guide them to focus on the core of “effective parent-child communication”. For example, one group may decide the conflict as: “The teen likes painting and wants to take painting classes, but his parents think painting will affect his study and disagree with him. Finally, through communication, the parents understand the teen’s hobby and reach a compromise.” Another group may choose the conflict: “The teen often stays up late to play with his smartphone, which makes his parents very worried. After a serious talk, the teen promises to control the time of using the smartphone, and the parents also agree to trust him.” After each group determines the theme and conflict, they report to the teacher briefly. The teacher comments on each group’s theme and conflict, puts forward suggestions for improvement if necessary, and ensures that the theme is positive and the conflict is reasonable. Design Intention: Determining the theme and conflict is the first step of play creation, which is crucial to the quality of the play. Guiding students to choose a positive and real theme and conflict can help them convey positive values through the play. The teacher’s guidance can help students avoid mistakes in theme and conflict setting, ensuring that the subsequent script writing and performance go smoothly. Reporting to the teacher can also let the teacher grasp the progress of each group and provide targeted guidance. Activity 3: Design the Play Elements and Write the Script Based on the determined theme and conflict, each group designs the setting, characters, plot of the play, and then the scriptwriter writes the script. The teacher reminds students to pay attention to the following points when writing the script: 1. Use the vocabularies and sentence patterns learned in the unit as much as possible, and the dialogue should be natural and in line with the characters’ personalities. 2. The plot should be complete, including beginning, development, climax and ending. 3. The theme should be reflected in the plot, especially in the communication between the teen and their parents. 4. The script should be concise and suitable for performance within 3-5 minutes. During the script writing process, the group members should communicate with each other actively. The actor/actress can put forward suggestions on the dialogue according to their own understanding of the characters, and the director can guide the design of the plot. The teacher walks around the classroom, checks the progress of each group, and helps them solve the problems they encounter. For example, if a group has difficulty in writing the dialogue, the teacher can provide some examples; if a group’s plot is not coherent, the teacher can guide them to adjust the plot. After the script is completed, each group reads the script aloud in the group, checks for mistakes in grammar, spelling and expression, and modifies and improves the script according to the group members’ suggestions. The teacher invites several groups to read their scripts briefly, and comments on them, pointing out the advantages and areas for improvement, such as the naturalness of the dialogue, the completeness of the plot, and the use of vocabularies and sentence patterns. Design Intention: Script writing is the core part of the project task, which can effectively improve students’ writing ability and language application ability. Requiring students to use the learned vocabularies and sentence patterns can help them consolidate their knowledge and realize the practical application of language. Group members’ communication and cooperation during the script writing process can cultivate their cooperative learning ability and communication ability. The teacher’s guidance and comments can help students improve the quality of the script, and let them know their own advantages and shortcomings, so as to improve their writing level. Activity 4: Rehearse the Play After the script is finalized, each group starts to rehearse the play. The director is responsible for guiding the performance, including the tone of the dialogue, the expression of emotions, body language and the arrangement of the stage. The actor/actress should memorize the dialogue, and try to show the characters’ personalities and emotions through their expressions and actions. The other group members can watch the rehearsal and put forward suggestions for improvement, such as adjusting the speed of the dialogue, adding appropriate body language, etc. The teacher walks around the classroom, observes the rehearsal of each group, and provides guidance when necessary. For example, if an actor/actress is not able to express the emotions correctly, the teacher can demonstrate and guide them; if the stage arrangement is unreasonable, the teacher can put forward suggestions. The teacher also reminds students to pay attention to the cooperation between the actors/actresses, ensure that the performance is smooth and coherent, and control the time within 3-5 minutes. During the rehearsal process, students can adjust the script and performance according to the actual situation. For example, if a dialogue is not natural when performed, they can modify the dialogue; if the plot is too long, they can simplify it. The teacher encourages students to be creative, such as adding some small details to make the play more vivid and interesting. Design Intention: Rehearsing the play can help students familiarize themselves with the script and the roles, improve their oral expression ability and performance ability. The director’s guidance and group members’ suggestions can help improve the quality of the performance. The teacher’s guidance can help students solve the problems encountered in the rehearsal, and encourage their creativity, which is conducive to cultivating their innovative thinking ability. At the same time, the rehearsal process can also enhance the cohesion of the group and cultivate students’ cooperative spirit. Step 4: Production (Group Performance and Evaluation) Activity 1: Group Performance Each group takes turns to perform their short play in front of the class. Before the performance, the group leader briefly introduces the theme and characters of the play. During the performance, other students should listen and watch carefully, and take notes of the advantages and areas for improvement of each group’s performance. When a group is performing, the teacher pays attention to the students’ performance, including the fluency of the dialogue, the expression of emotions, the cooperation between the actors/actresses, the completeness of the plot and the reflection of the theme. After each group’s performance, the teacher gives brief praise and encouragement, such as “Your performance is very vivid, and the dialogue is natural and fluent” “You have a clear plot and successfully reflected the theme of parent-child communication”. Design Intention: Group performance is the display of the group’s achievements, which can enhance students’ confidence and sense of accomplishment. Letting students watch each other’s performances can help them learn from each other’s advantages and find their own shortcomings. The teacher’s praise and encouragement can stimulate students’ learning enthusiasm and motivation, and make them more actively participate in the subsequent evaluation and reflection activities. Activity 2: Peer Evaluation After all groups have performed, the teacher organizes students to carry out peer evaluation. The teacher provides an evaluation form, which includes the following evaluation indexes: 1. The theme is clear and positive. 2. The plot is complete and coherent. 3. The dialogue is natural and uses the learned vocabularies and sentence patterns. 4. The performance is vivid and the emotions are expressed correctly. 5. The cooperation between group members is good. 6. The play reflects the theme of effective parent-child communication. Students are divided into pairs to evaluate each group’s performance according to the evaluation form, and put forward suggestions for improvement. For example, “Your play has a clear theme, but the dialogue is a little stiff; you can try to make it more natural” “The performance is very vivid, but the plot is a little short; you can add some details to make it more complete”. Then, the teacher invites several students to share their evaluation opinions. The teacher summarizes the peer evaluation, affirms the advantages of each group, and puts forward targeted suggestions for improvement, helping students further understand the key points of a good short play. Design Intention: Peer evaluation can help students learn to observe and evaluate others’ works, and improve their critical thinking ability and evaluation ability. By putting forward suggestions for improvement, students can learn from each other and make progress together. The evaluation form can make the evaluation more objective and fair, avoiding random evaluation. At the same time, peer evaluation can also enhance the interaction between students and create a positive learning atmosphere. Activity 3: Teacher Evaluation and Summary The teacher makes a comprehensive evaluation of all groups’ performance and play creation. First, the teacher affirms the efforts and achievements of each group, such as the active participation of group members, the reasonable design of the play, the fluent expression of the dialogue, etc. Then, the teacher points out the common advantages and shortcomings of each group, such as the advantages: clear theme, complete plot, good cooperation; the shortcomings: some dialogues are not natural enough, some performances lack emotional expression, some plots are not in-depth enough. Then, the teacher summarizes the key points of the Project: 1. The elements of a short play (setting, characters, plot, theme) are crucial to the quality of the play. 2. Effective parent-child communication is the key to solving parent-child conflicts, which requires mutual understanding, respect and compromise. 3. In group work, cooperation and communication are very important to complete the task successfully. Finally, the teacher encourages students: “Through this Project, you have not only improved your English language ability, but also learned how to communicate with your parents effectively. I hope you can apply what you have learned in real life, communicate more with your parents, and establish a harmonious parent-child relationship.” Design Intention: Teacher evaluation is an important part of the teaching process, which can help students comprehensively understand their own achievements and shortcomings. The teacher’s affirmation and encouragement can enhance students’ confidence and sense of accomplishment, while the pointed suggestions can help students improve their ability. Summarizing the key points of the Project can help students consolidate the knowledge and skills learned in this lesson, and connecting the lesson content with real life can realize the value of language learning, which is in line with the goal of cultivating students’ core literacy. Step 5: Extension (Consolidation and Application) Activity 1: Individual Reflection The teacher asks students to write a short reflection (about 100 words) on their own performance in the group project, including what they have learned, what they have done well, what they need to improve, and how they will apply what they have learned to communicate with their parents in real life. Students complete the reflection independently, and then exchange their reflections with their deskmates. After the exchange, the teacher invites several students to share their reflections. The teacher comments on their reflections, affirms their gains and improvements, and encourages them to keep reflecting and making progress. Design Intention: Individual reflection can help students sort out their own learning experience, summarize their gains and shortcomings, and improve their self-reflection ability. Exchanging reflections with deskmates can help students learn from each other’s experiences and broaden their thinking. Sharing reflections in class can enhance students’ expression ability and let the teacher understand the students’ learning situation, which is conducive to adjusting the teaching strategy in the future. Activity 2: Homework Assignment The teacher assigns the following homework: 1. Revise the script of the short play according to the evaluation opinions of the teacher and peers, and write the final version of the script. 2. Have a talk with your parents about one of your conflicts, and try to communicate with them effectively to solve the conflict. Write a short report (about 150 words) to record the process and results of the talk. 3. Review the vocabularies and sentence patterns of the unit, and make a vocabulary card for the core words related to parent-child communication. Design Intention: The homework assignment is closely connected to the teaching content of this lesson, which can help students consolidate the knowledge and skills learned in class. Revising the script can help students improve their writing ability and the quality of the play. Having a talk with parents and writing a report can let students apply what they have learned to real life, realizing the practical application of language and the goal of cultivating emotional attitude and values. Making vocabulary cards can help students consolidate the core vocabularies of the unit, laying a foundation for future learning. Step 6: Summary and Outlook The teacher summarizes the whole lesson: “In this lesson, we have completed the Project of Unit 2—creating a short play about parent-child relationships. Through group work, you have improved your comprehensive language ability, cooperative learning ability and critical thinking ability. You have also learned how to communicate with your parents effectively, which is very important for your growth.” Then, the teacher looks forward to the future learning: “In the next lessons, we will continue to explore the topic of teens, learn more about the growth of teens, and further improve your English language ability. I hope you can keep the enthusiasm for learning English, and apply what you have learned to real life, making English a tool for communication and growth.” Design Intention: Summarizing the lesson can help students sort out the key content of the lesson, consolidate the knowledge and skills learned. Looking forward to the future learning can stimulate students’ learning motivation and interest, and let them have a clear goal for future learning. At the same time, the teacher’s encouragement can enhance students’ confidence in learning English, and help them establish a positive learning attitude. 1 / 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
