授课教材 人教版八年级下册 授课题目 Unit 8 Making a Difference. Section B (4a-4c+ Reading Plus) 课时 课型 第 6 课时 项目+拓展阅读课 主题情境 人与自我 教学材料分析Teaching Material Analysis This lesson is the final period of Unit 8, focusing on a project (Start a volunteer group)​ and extended reading (Unusual Volunteers). The project (4a-4c) requires students to plan, design, and present a volunteer group, while the reading (Reading Plus) tells the story of a therapy dog (Banjo) and its volunteer (Anna) helping hospital patients. The context is practical volunteer work and real-life stories, so students will synthesize unit knowledge (vocabulary, grammar, speaking) to complete a project and reflect on volunteerism’s impact. 教学目标Teaching Aims Language Competence: Use unit vocabulary/phrases (e.g., volunteer group, sign up, make a difference, therapy dog) to plan a project; understand the extended reading and extract details. Cultural Awareness: Recognize the value of diverse volunteer work (e.g., therapy dogs, community service) and empathy for others. Thinking Quality: Plan a volunteer group critically (goals, tasks, recruitment); analyze the reading to answer questions. Learning Ability: Collaborate in groups; present ideas clearly; reflect on learning (via Reflecting). 教学重点 Key Points Apply unit language (vocabulary, sentence patterns) to plan a volunteer group. Understand the structure and content of Linda’s blog post (therapy dog volunteer). Develop skills to design a poster and present a volunteer group. 教学难点 Difficult Points Integrate unit knowledge to create a coherent volunteer group plan. Analyze the blog post to infer speakers and discuss the role of therapy dogs. Collaborate effectively in groups to complete the project (design, present, vote). 教学方法 Teaching Methods PWP Mode, task-based and communicative approaches 教学工具 Teaching Aids Multimedia projector, blackboard, handouts, recording device 教学过程 Teaching Procedures Step 1: Warm-up & Review (5 mins)​ Ask: “What volunteer work have we learned? What new ideas do you have now?” Review key words (e.g., volunteer, therapy dog, make a difference) and sentence patterns (How long have you...? I’ve been a volunteer for...). Step 2: Project (4a-4c) – PPP Model (25 mins)​ Phase 1: Presentation (5 mins)​ Show examples of volunteer group posters (online or self-made). Explain: “To start a volunteer group, we need to choose goals (4a), design a poster (4b), and present it (4c).” Highlight key elements of a poster: what the group does, who they help, work details, skills needed, frequency, contact info. Phase 2: Practice (15 mins)​ 4a: Groups tick top 3 goals (e.g., help elderly, clean up natural areas, teach children life skills). 4b: Design a poster (use the example “Volunteer at our neighbourhood sports club!”). Provide a template: What does your group do? Who are you helping? What work will volunteers do? What skills should volunteers have? How often will you work? Contact info? Teacher circulates, gives feedback on ideas and language. Phase 3: Production (5 mins)​ 4c: Groups present their posters. Others vote for the best group (criteria: clear goals, attractive design, complete info). Step 3: Extended Reading (Reading Plus) (10 mins)​ Pre-reading: Show the blog title “Unusual Volunteers”and picture (dog in hospital). Ask: “What’s unusual about these volunteers? Why?” While-reading: Read Linda’s blog. Task 1 (1): Match “Who” (Linda, Mum, Mum’s doctor, Anna) with “What they said.” Task 2 (2): Discuss: How do therapy dogs help? What qualities should a therapy dog have? Other ways to help in hospitals? Post-reading: Share answers. Discuss: “Why is Anna’s work ‘unusual’? How does it make a difference?” Step 4: Summary & Reflection (5 mins)​ Recap: “Today we planned volunteer groups and read about unusual volunteers (therapy dogs). Volunteering is about making a difference—big or small.” Reflect: “What did you learn? What volunteer work do you want to do in the future?” 作业设计 Homework Design Basic Task: Finish the volunteer group poster (4b) and write a short introduction (5-6 sentences) about your group. Complete the reading task (match speakers in Reading Plus). Extended Task: Interview a family member about their volunteer experience (or research a local volunteer group). Write a short report (80-100 words). Prepare a 1-minute speech to encourage others to volunteer (use the blog’s idea: “Help others, help yourself”). 板书设计 Blackboard Design 教学反思 Teaching Reflection Successes: Students engaged in group work, actively designed posters, and discussed the blog with interest. The project connected unit knowledge to real-life planning. Challenges: Some groups struggled to organize poster content clearly; a few had trouble inferring speakers in the reading. Next time, provide more scaffolded templates for the poster and pre-teach inference skills. 教学评价Teaching Evaluation Student Performance: Most groups created posters with clear goals and attractive designs. In reading, 70% matched speakers correctly; discussions showed understanding of therapy dogs’ roles. Adjustments: For future lessons, spend more time on inference strategies (e.g., using context clues) and provide differentiated templates for poster design (e.g., fill-in-the-blank for weaker students). 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
