Unit 2 Smart Homes to Make Life Easier 一、Textbook Analysis This reading passage from Unit 2 (Selective Compulsory Book 1) is a popular science exposition with a "general-specific-general" structure. Set in the context of "Man and Society," it introduces smart homes and details their functions in intelligent control, health monitoring, and disaster prevention. By using precise terminology, personification, and the future continuous tense, the text aims to teach expository reading strategies while guiding students to think about technology's benefits and challenges, ultimately fostering higher-order thinking skills. 二、Student Analysis Senior high students possess curiosity and basic knowledge of smart devices but may face challenges with technical vocabulary and complex syntax. They require scaffolding to move beyond surface comprehension toward critical evaluation of technology's pros and cons. Instruction must therefore focus on structured text analysis and guided debate to cultivate their dialectical thinking and rational scientific attitudes. 三、Teaching Objectives In this class, you will be able to: 1.learn the structure of the passage and know the benefits of smart homes; 2.infer the purpose(目的) and intended audience(目标读者) of the passage; 3.express our ideas about smart homes. 四、Teaching Key and Difficult Points （一）Teaching Key Points 1.Guiding students to deeply understand the text and master the functions of smart homes through the H.O.M.E. framework. 2.Helping students identify the structure of the exposition and the author's attitude. （二）Teaching Difficult Points 1.Cultivating students' critical thinking to objectively analyze the potential challenges (disadvantages) of smart homes. 2.Enabling students to apply the H.O.M.E. framework to creatively design or describe smart home functions in English. 五. Teaching Aids （一）Multimedia presentation (PPT with images of smart devices, control methods, and video clips). （二）H.O.M.E. Framework Worksheet. （三） Blackboard. 六、Teaching Process Step 1 Lead in 1.Free Talk: Show pictures of common household appliances (lights, TV, AC). Question: "How do we usually control these household appliances nowadays?" （Elicit answers from students and summarize three control methods: switches, knobs, and remote controls.） Step 2 Pre-Reading 1.Play a video Introduce the concept of Intelligent/Automatic Control and play a short video clip about smart homes to stimulate interest. Ask: "What will smart homes bring us?" (Keywords: convenient, safe, fun). Step 3 While-Reading 1. Global Reading Tasks: Students read the title, subtitles, the first paragraph, and the last paragraph quickly (Skimming). Questions: ①What is the type of this text? (Answer: Exposition) ②What is the purpose of the passage? (Answer: To introduce smart homes and their benefits) ③Who are the intended readers? (Answer: People interested in technology/making homes smarter) ④Structure Analysis: Identify the structure: Introduction (Para 1) + Body (Paras 2-4 with subtitles) + Conclusion (Para 5). 2. Detailed Reading：The H.O.M.E. Framework Task: Students read the text carefully to complete the H.O.M.E. framework on their worksheets. Check & Explain: H - Health & Wellness: Monitor health (smart beds record sleep, check weight; smart toilets track health), send warnings, give suggestions. O - Operation & Control: Intelligent controls via integrated sensors. Learn daily routines, respond to voice commands (e.g., "Hi Siri"), automatic switching to energy-efficient mode. M - Management & Security: Lock doors, switch off TVs/computers remotely. Prevent accidents (detect water leaks, electrical wiring shorts), provide relevant information. E - Energy & Environment: (Integrated in Operation) Use energy-efficient modes and sensors to save energy and provide a comfortable environment. Step 4 Post-reading 1. Inference & Critical Thinking Focus: Paragraph 5. Question: "Why does the author say 'the home of tomorrow is already the home of today'?" Answer: Because many innovations are already available (e.g., robot sweepers), though widespread adoption takes time due to cost and imperfect technology. Author's Attitude: Positive/Supportive, yet realistic. 2.Discussion & Creativity Discussion (The Double-Edged Sword): Question: "Have you ever thought of the disadvantages or potential challenges smart homes will bring us?" Group Work (6 students/group): Discuss potential issues. Expected Answers: System failure (locked out), power outage, hacking/privacy leakage, high cost. Creative Output (Optional/Time permitting): "Chief Designer of the Future" Task: Use the H.O.M.E. framework to design a new smart device or function. Elements: Device Name, Category (H/O/M/E), Function, Benefits. Step 5 Summary & Homework Summary: Recap the functions of smart homes using the H.O.M.E. framework and the balanced view of technology. Homework: Basic: Complete exercises 2, 3, and 4 on page 68 (Textbook). Advanced: Complete the "Post-class Quality Evaluation (VI)" on page 137 of the layered assignment book. 七、Blackboard Design Smart Homes to Make Life Easier No More Disasters Intelligent Controls Not a fantasy Regular Health Checks No More Disasters 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
