Unit 4 Our Memory 单元课件 2026-2027学年人教版九年级英语上册

该初中英语课件围绕“Our Memory”主题，以“是否需要记忆”为核心问题，通过课前思考（如能否背诵全文、列举年度事件）引发认知冲突，引导学生分组形成正反观点并补充理由，搭建“思考-分组-辩论-反思”的学习支架，衔接语言表达与思维训练。 其亮点在于以辩论活动为载体，融合语言能力与思维品质培养。学生需用“For example”等表达列举实例、数据支持观点，通过“Expressing Opinion”“Agreeing & Disagreeing”等功能句型提升语言运用能力，在观点碰撞中发展批判性思维。总结反思环节引导学生联系自身记忆体验，既强化语言知识，又培养主动探究的学习能力，为教师提供结构化、互动性强的教学方案。

Section B How can we improve our memory? Writing (3a-3c) By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:  understand Billy's diary entry;  use the target language to describe your own memory challenges and solutions;  write a short diary entry about your progress in overcoming a memory challenge. Have you ever forgotten something important, like key parts of a speech or a key point during an exam? How did you feel at that moment? Did you find any methods to help your memory? We all have our own tricks. But what about Billy? Today, let's read Billy's diary entry to see what his memory challenge was and how he solved it. Read Billy's diary entry quickly and answer the questions. 1. What was Billy's challenge? 2. Did he succeed in the end? His challenge was memorizing a speech. Yes, his speech was a great success. The Challenge The Methods The Result Read Billy's diary again and complete the table. Friday, 20 November In the past, I always felt stressed when I had to give a speech. I used to spend lots of time trying to memorize my speech, but I still forgot some parts. Last week, I decided to find out what the right way is to memorize a speech. I looked online and asked friends, and I found many useful methods. I learnt how to create a speech outline. Instead of trying to remember every word of my speech, I remembered the key words first. Then I formed images of these key words in my mind, and linked them in order. Another method is to divide the speech into short sections. I practised the first section until I could fully recall it. Then I moved on to the next. This helped me to find out which parts of the speech I needed to work on the most. Finally, a friend told me that I should have confidence in myself. Nobody knows my speech except me. If I do forget some words, I shouldn't panic. Just remember the key words and continue! I followed all these great methods and my speech today was a great success!

Section b activity one, be read the text and answer the questions. How to boost your memory? Would you like to improve your memory? To start with, IT is important to understand how memory works. There are two main kinds of memory, short term memory and long term memory. Short term memory helps you remember things that you may only need for a short time, like phone numbers, when you need to make a phone call. Long term memory is the ability to remember things for days, years or even a lifetime.

Let's take a look first. Pay attention. However, you might fail to remember all the details, so try taking notes by writing down key points. After all, IT is easier to remember a summary than every word in a passage. Second, use IT or lose IT. The more you review what you learn, the more likely you will remember IT. However, you should not wear out your brain, try studying for forty minutes, and then take a break. You can also review information by discussing IT with others or by teaching others. A third way is to make use of your senses, create images by using tables, graphs and mind maps to organize information. You can also create a story with information and view IT in your mind like a film. In addition, make use of your other senses. For example, listening to record information can be very effective. Last but not least, boost your memory by staying healthy, sleep well while you sleep, your brain organizes your memories. Bad sleep makes IT harder for new information to enter your long term memory. Eat well, your brain needs food like an engine, needs fuel. Healthy food and drink will help your brain work much Better. Exercise a healthy and active body, boost both your memory and your mind. Exercise can also reduce stress and anxiety. Many more memory techniques can be found in books or online. Try some different methods to see which ones work best for you.
