Unit 2 Success-Reading Club 教学目标和重难点 教学目标 Language Competence: Master key words and sentence patterns about success, sacrifice and failure, and improve reading ability to extract details and infer meanings. Cultural Awareness: Understand the connotation of success in Chinese and Western cultures and establish a correct view of success. Thinking Quality: Develop critical thinking by analyzing the experiences of successful people and exploring the relationship between failure and success. Learning Ability: Master effective reading strategies and form the habit of independent and cooperative learning. 教学重难点 Key Points: Understand the main content and details of the two passages in Reading Club, master core vocabulary and expressions related to contribution, sacrifice and grit, and grasp the logical structure of the texts. Difficult Points: Analyze the deep meaning of the texts, interpret the views on success and failure, and use the learned language to express personal opinions with logical support. 教学过程 Step 1: Lead-in (Warm-up and Activation) The teacher starts the class with an open question: “What does success mean to you? Do you think success is only about wealth and fame?” Then, show pictures of Huang Danian, J.K. Rowling, Steve Jobs and other figures, and ask students to briefly share what they know about these people. After that, the teacher introduces the topic of this lesson: “Today we will explore two different aspects of success through Reading Club — contribution and sacrifice, and the importance of failure. Let’s start our reading journey.” Design Intention: The open question stimulates students’ thinking and activates their prior knowledge about the topic of success, helping them quickly enter the learning context. Showing pictures of famous figures not only attracts students’ attention but also lays a foundation for the understanding of the following texts, as these figures are closely related to the content of Reading Club 1 and 2. Meanwhile, the brief introduction of the lesson content enables students to have a clear learning goal in advance. Step 2: Pre-reading (Vocabulary and Background Preview) First, the teacher presents the core vocabulary and expressions of this lesson on the screen, including contribution, sacrifice, crust, state-of-the-art, grit, determination, setback, etc. For each word, the teacher explains its meaning, pronunciation and usage with simple English, and combines it with sentences related to the texts. For example, “Sacrifice means giving up something valuable for a better purpose. Huang Danian made great sacrifices for his country.” Then, the teacher briefly introduces the background of the two passages: Reading Club 1 is about Huang Danian, a Chinese scientist who returned to China and made great contributions to deep earth exploration; Reading Club 2 introduces how some world-famous people achieved success after experiencing failures, emphasizing the importance of grit. After the explanation, the teacher organizes a small group activity: students work in groups of 4 to discuss the meaning of the new words and make simple sentences with them. Each group selects one or two sentences to share with the whole class, and the teacher corrects and comments on them. Design Intention: Vocabulary is the foundation of reading comprehension. Previewing core vocabulary helps students reduce difficulties in reading and improve reading efficiency. Explaining vocabulary in combination with the text context enables students to better understand the usage of words and lay a foundation for the subsequent text reading. The group discussion activity not only enhances students’ participation but also helps them consolidate the new words through practice, improving their language application ability. The brief background introduction helps students understand the cultural and practical background of the texts, promoting their cultural awareness. Step 3: While-reading (Text Analysis and Reading Strategies Guidance) This step is divided into two parts, focusing on Reading Club 1 and Reading Club 2 respectively, and guiding students to use different reading strategies to understand the texts. Part 1: Reading Club 1 — Contribution and Sacrifice Skimming: Ask students to read the passage quickly and answer the following questions: (1) Why did Huang Danian return to China in 2008? (2) What achievements did he make after returning to China? After students finish reading, invite several students to answer the questions, and the teacher summarizes the main idea of the passage: Huang Danian gave up his comfortable life abroad and returned to China, making great contributions to China’s deep earth exploration and lunar probe project with his efforts and sacrifices. Scanning: Ask students to read the passage again carefully and find out the key details: (1) What kind of life did Huang Danian give up abroad? (2) What advanced technology did he develop? (3) How did his achievements influence China’s related fields? Students can underline the key information in the text while reading. Then, the teacher organizes a class discussion, guides students to share the key details they found, and sorts out the logical structure of the passage: background (Huang Danian’s return to China) — process (his efforts and sacrifices) — achievements (technological breakthroughs and influences). Deep Understanding: Ask students to read the sentence “... to celebrate a life that burned so bright, but was so short” and think about the following question: “What does this sentence mean? How do you understand Huang Danian’s ‘bright but short life’?” Invite students to express their views freely, and the teacher guides them to realize that although Huang Danian’s life was short, he devoted himself to his country and made indelible contributions, which made his life meaningful and brilliant. This link helps students deeply understand the connotation of sacrifice and contribution. Part 2: Reading Club 2 — The Importance of Failure Skimming: Ask students to read the passage quickly and complete the following task: List the names of the people mentioned in the passage and their main failures. After students finish, the teacher checks the answers and summarizes the main idea of the passage: Many successful people have experienced failures, and failure can help people grow and lay the foundation for success, which reflects the importance of grit. Scanning: Ask students to read the passage again and answer the following questions: (1) What did J. K. Rowling learn from her failures? (2) What do all the people mentioned in the passage have in common? (3) What is “grit” and why is it important? Students can discuss with their group members if they have difficulties. After the discussion, each group sends a representative to answer the questions, and the teacher supplements and explains, emphasizing the definition and importance of grit — a passion for something and the determination to work hard and stick with it. Deep Understanding: Ask students to read Steve Jobs’ words “The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again.” and discuss: “What did Steve Jobs mean by this sentence? Do you agree with his view?” Guide students to analyze that success may bring pressure and expectations, while failure can make people let go of burdens and start anew with a more relaxed attitude, which is conducive to further progress. Then, ask students to think about the saying “Failure is the mother of success.” and share their own understanding combined with the examples in the passage. Design Intention: Skimming and scanning are important reading strategies. Guiding students to use these strategies helps them improve their reading speed and ability to extract key information. The step-by-step reading from skimming to deep understanding conforms to the law of students’ cognitive development, enabling them to gradually understand the text from the surface to the deep. The discussion links in the deep understanding part not only stimulate students’ critical thinking but also help them understand the theme of the text more thoroughly, guiding them to establish a correct view of failure and success. Group discussion also enhances students’ cooperative learning ability and language expression ability. Step 4: Post-reading (Consolidation and Application) This step includes three activities to help students consolidate the learned knowledge and apply it to practice, realizing the transfer of language and thinking. Activity 1: Vocabulary and Sentence Pattern Consolidation. The teacher presents some incomplete sentences on the screen, and students fill in the blanks with the core vocabulary and expressions learned in this lesson. For example: (1) Huang Danian made great ______ (contribution) to China’s scientific research. (2) Failure taught J. K. Rowling a lot about herself that she could have learned no other way, and she discovered her strong ______ (determination). After students finish, the teacher checks the answers and explains the key points of usage again. Then, ask students to rewrite the key sentences in the text with their own words, which helps them deepen their understanding of the sentence patterns and improve their language rephrasing ability. Activity 2: Group Debate. Divide students into two groups. Group A holds the view that “Success mainly depends on sacrifice and contribution”, and Group B holds the view that “Success mainly depends on grit and learning from failure”. Each group has 10 minutes to prepare, collecting supporting materials from the texts and their own life experiences. Then, the debate is carried out, with each group sending representatives to express their views and refute the opposite group’s views. The teacher acts as the host and judge, guiding students to express their views clearly and logically, and summarizing the debate at the end: Success is not achieved by a single factor; sacrifice, contribution, grit and learning from failure are all important elements of success, and they complement each other. Activity 3: Writing Practice. Ask students to write a short passage (80-100 words) with the topic “My View on Success”. They need to combine the content of Reading Club, use the learned vocabulary and sentence patterns, and express their own views on success. Students can choose to focus on contribution, sacrifice, grit or the relationship between failure and success. After students finish writing, the teacher selects several typical compositions to comment on, affirming the advantages and pointing out the deficiencies, such as vocabulary usage, sentence structure and logical coherence. Then, students can revise their own compositions according to the teacher’s comments. Design Intention: The vocabulary and sentence pattern consolidation activity helps students consolidate the learned language knowledge and improve their language application ability. The group debate activity not only stimulates students’ critical thinking and oral expression ability but also helps them deeply understand the multi-faceted nature of success, breaking the one-sided understanding of success. The writing practice is a comprehensive application of the learned knowledge, which can test students’ language competence and thinking quality, and help them internalize the theme of the lesson. The teacher’s comment and students’ revision help students find their own deficiencies and improve their writing ability. Step 5: Summary and Reflection First, the teacher leads students to summarize the content of this lesson: we have read two passages about success, understood Huang Danian’s contribution and sacrifice, and learned the importance of failure and grit. We have also mastered a lot of core vocabulary and sentence patterns, and discussed our own views on success. Then, the teacher asks students to reflect on the following questions: (1) What have you learned from this lesson? (2) How will you view failure and success in your future study and life? (3) What can you do to achieve your own success? Students can share their reflections freely, and the teacher encourages them to keep a positive attitude, bravely face failures, and strive to make contributions to themselves and society. Finally, the teacher assigns after-class tasks: 1. Review the core vocabulary and sentence patterns of this lesson and recite them. 2. Read the two passages again and write down 3-5 key sentences that impress you most. 3. Find more stories about successful people who overcame failures and share them in the next class. 4. Revise the short passage written in class and hand it in the next day. Design Intention: The summary helps students sort out the knowledge and content of the lesson, forming a systematic understanding. The reflection link guides students to connect the lesson content with their own life, realizing the integration of knowledge and practice, and cultivating their learning ability and correct outlook on life. The after-class tasks are designed to consolidate the learned knowledge, expand students’ horizons, and lay a foundation for the subsequent learning. At the same time, the task of sharing stories encourages students to do independent learning and accumulate materials related to the topic. 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 $
