Unit 6 Energy, nature and us

Part C Reading time 第六课 (教学设计）

 

I. Teaching Objectives

1. Students can follow the story of the solar oven, understand what Grandpa, Binbin and Robin do and why, and put the pictures of paragraphs 1–5 in the right order.

2. Students can work out the meaning of key words from the pictures and context — solar, oven, heat, source, electricity, smart ways — and read the dialogue aloud with sensible stress and pauses.

3. Students can retell the story with picture and phrase help, and use the language to talk about ways we can "use energy in smart ways", linking back to the big question of the unit.

II. Key Points and Difficult Points

Key points: Understanding the story line and the reason behind each step, and using the core expressions "use solar power to cook", "keep the heat", "a great source of energy" and "use energy in smart ways".

Difficult points: Grasping the cause and effect in the story (why black paper, why the box keeps the heat); moving from reading to retelling and free talk; making the abstract idea of a "source of energy" concrete for Grade 6 learners.

III. Teaching Tools

Textbook pages 72–73; the six story pictures; a small solar-powered toy; sheets of black and white paper for a quick demo; word cards (solar, oven, heat, source, electricity); a simple picture-sequence chart; the story audio; a sunny-day photo and a light bulb for the lead-in.

IV. Teaching Procedures

Step 1: Lead-in (5 mins)

1. Show a bright sunny-day photo and a tiny solar-powered toy. Ask: "It's hot and bright outside. What can sunlight do for us?"

2. Take a handful of quick answers — dry clothes, warm us, light things — and give no correction at this stage.

3. Tell students: today we visit Grandpa, Binbin and Robin on just such a sunny day.

[Purpose] A real photo and a moving toy wake up the topic of sunlight and energy. Free guessing lowers the affective filter and feeds vocabulary the story will reuse, so reading never starts cold.

Step 2: First read for the story line (7 mins)

1. Students read the whole text quickly and find: who are the people, where are they, what is their problem, and what is Grandpa's idea.

2. Match the story pictures to the paragraphs, then check in pairs: a sunny day outside, no wish to go back to the kitchen, "Let's make a solar oven!".
