单元教材分析
本单元的主题为:职业认知与发展。该主题属于 “人与自我” 及“人与社会”主题范畴。对应 “职业启蒙,职业精神”以及“社会变迁,对未来的畅想” 等子主题内容。本单元围绕话题 “Career talks”,学习和完成多个语篇,涵盖不同职业的特点、工作者的体验、职业的变迁趋势以及职业选择与适应等内容。通过学习,学生将逐步摒弃职业偏见,尊重各类职业的价值,培养适应职业市场变化的意识,为未来职业规划奠定基础。
Starting out
本部分通过图片观察、问答互动和职业匹配等活动,激活学生对日常职业的已有认知。学生将识别宇航员、清洁工、医生等常见职业,用恰当词汇描述职业特点,探讨不同职业对社会运转的作用,梳理职业相关的基础词汇和表达,为后续深入学习职业相关话题奠定语言和认知基础。
Understanding ideas
本部分的阅读文本为窗户清洁工罗伯特的退休演讲《Saying goodbye to my years up high》。演讲中,罗伯特分享了自己 30 年 “蜘蛛人” 工作的挑战与喜悦,回忆了遇到的善良之人和温暖故事,表达了对这份职业的热爱与自豪。文本传递了 “每份职业都有其价值,劳动不分高低贵贱” 的理念,引导学生尊重所有职业,体会工作中的成就感与人间善意。
Developing ideas
本部分包含听力、口语互动和语音训练模块。听力部分围绕年轻人严静尝试 20 份工作的访谈展开,引导学生了解不同职业的体验与收获,思考职业探索的意义;口语部分通过模拟职业访谈活动,让学生结合具体职业场景,分享工作的优缺点,锻炼职业相关话题的口语表达能力;语音训练聚焦 /sk//sm//sp//st / 等辅音连缀的发音,提升学生的语音准确性,为职业相关的口语交流提供支撑。
Reading
本部分的阅读文本《From mouse catcher to space tour guide...》围绕职业变迁展开,介绍了捕鼠人等已消失的职业、收银员等即将被淘汰的传统职业,以及太空导游、虚拟现实时尚设计师等新兴职业,分析了科技发展和社会需求变化对职业演变的影响。文本搭配网友评论,引发学生对职业未来的思考,培养学生辩证看待职业变化、主动适应时代发展的意识。
Writing
本部分聚焦职业描述类写作。学生需结合所学内容,选择一份 “即将消失的职业” 和一份 “未来新兴职业”,从工作内容、消失或兴起的原因等方面进行清晰描述,之后与同伴交换作品并给出评价。通过这一过程,学生将巩固职业相关词汇和语法结构,提升书面表达能力,同时深化对职业变迁的理解。
Presenting ideas & Reflection
本部分以小组合作的形式开展职业报告撰写与展示活动。学生需分组搜集感兴趣的职业信息,从职责、挑战、益处和未来趋势等维度组织内容,完成职业报告并在班级展示。反思环节中,学生将总结本单元学习收获,梳理职业相关语言的运用能力,明确自身在职业话题表达、语法运用等方面的不足与改进方向,进一步深化对工作意义的理解。

3.Let some students share their answers.
★Step 5 Language points 【语言要点】
1. All my days up high in the air will be kept in my memory. 我会永远记得那些在空中的日子。
keep sth in my memory表示“我记得某事”。例如:
I will keep his words in my memory.我会记住他的话。
The image has been kept alive in my memory.这个形象一直鲜活地留存在我的记里。
2. I still remember my first summer as a "spiderman". 我依然记得我成为“蜘蛛人”的第一个夏天。
这里的spiderman并非指美国流行文化中的超级英雄角色。通过上下文可以看出此句采用了比喻手法,spiderman指“窗户清洁工”,因为窗户清洁工靠保险绳和作业绳将自己悬挂在高楼外进行清洁工作时,就像蜘蛛一样在外墙上攀爬。
3.I was wet all over. 我浑身湿透了。
all over 意为“到处,各处” 例如:
The man looked all over for his keys. 那个人到处找他的钥匙。
He felt a sense of relief all over.他全身都感到如释重负。
4. I watched her grow bit by bit. 我看着她一点一点地成长。
bit by bit意为“逐渐地,一点一点地”,强调事情是慢慢地、逐步地发展或改变的。例如:He learnt the language bit by bit.他一点一点地学习这种语言。
5.Window cleaning is not always considered a good job, but I'll never regret it. 窗户清洁工作并不总是被认为是一份好工作,但我永远不会后悔。
be considered sth意为“被认为是……”,在句中是被动语态的一种使用形式,表示主体(窗户清洁工作)被外部(这里指其他人)认为有某种特性(不好的工作)。例如:
In some cultures, the elderly are considered a source of wisdom.在一些文化中,老年人被认为是智慧的源泉。
6. The city shines brighter because of us, and the job will make us shine, too. 城市因为我们更加明亮,而这份工作也会让我们大显身手。
shine字面意思是“发光”但在句中却有不同的含义。第一个shine引申为城市“闪耀,繁荣,充满活力和生机"; 第二个shine则表示窗户清洁工作使“我们”在社会中得到认同和尊重,引申理解为“出类拔萃,表现突出”。
★Step 6 Homework【家庭作业】
1.Review the words, phrases and sentences.
2.Do the exercises in students’ book.
Teaching reflection 【教学反思】
This lesson effectively activated students’ prior knowledge of jobs through picture-based activities. Most students actively participated in discussions and grasped the main idea of Robert’s speech. However, some struggled to use new expressions like "a sense of achievement" correctly. Also, time for sharing personal opinions on job value was limited. Next time, I’ll add more paired practice for key phrases and allocate extra time for students to express their views, ensuring better integration of language learning and value guidance.
