Understanding the historical background of Zhang Qian and the Silk Road. 三、Teaching Tools Textbook (Grammar Focus section), blackboard and colored markers, sentence pattern cards, worksheet for 4b and 4c exercises, PPT (optional). 四、Teaching Procedures Step 1: Warm-up and Lead-in (5 mins) 1. The teacher reviews vocabulary about inspiring people from previous lessons (e.g., Yuan Longping, Marie Curie, Sima Qian). 2. The teacher writes "It was great of ... to ..." on the blackboard and asks students to complete the sentence with someone they know (e.g., "It was great of my mom to cook dinner for me."). 3. The teacher introduces the topic: today we will learn how to talk about what people did and why we find them inspiring. [Purpose] To activate students' prior knowledge and introduce the grammar focus of this lesson naturally. Step 2: Grammar Practice — 4a (10 mins) 1. The teacher asks students to read the four sentences in 4a aloud. 2. Students work individually to complete each sentence with a famous person or someone they know (e.g., "It was great of Yuan Longping to develop a new kind of rice and help reduce hunger."). 3. The teacher checks answers with the whole class and highlights the structure: "It + be + adj. + of/for sb. + to do sth." 4. The teacher explains the difference between "of" (describing personality) and "for" (describing the action), using examples from 4a. [Purpose] To help students understand and practice the target grammar structure in meaningful contexts. Step 3: Sentence Transformation — 4b (10 mins) 1. The teacher asks students to read the five sentences in 4b and the words in brackets. 2. Students work individually to rewrite each sentence using the word in brackets (e.g., "We listen to our teacher's advice. (necessary)" → "It is necessary for us to listen to our teacher's advice."). 3. The teacher checks answers and explains key points, especially the transformation patterns. [Purpose] To practice using adjectives in the target structure and improve students' sentence transformation skills. Step 4: Reading and Discussion — 4c (15 mins) 1. The teacher briefly introduces Zhang Qian (张骞) and the Silk Road with pictures or a short video clip. 2. Students read the passage about Zhang Qian and choose the correct sentence parts (A/B/C/D) to complete it. 3. The teacher checks answers: the correct order is D-B-C-A. 4. The teacher asks students to discuss in pairs: "In what ways do you find Zhang Qian inspiring? Give your reasons." Students use the target structure to express their opinions. [Purpose] To develop reading comprehension skills and deepen understanding of the unit theme through authentic reading and discussion. Step 5: Summary and Homework (5 mins) 1. The teacher summarizes the grammar point and key vocabulary on the blackboard. 2. Homework: Write a short passage (about 80 words) about an inspiring person you admire, using at least three sentences with the "It + be + adj. + of/for sb. + to do" structure. [Purpose] To consolidate learning and extend practice beyond class. 五、Blackboard Design Unit 2 Section A Grammar Focus (4a-4c) It + be + adj. + of/for sb. + to do sth. It was great of Yuan Longping to develop a new kind of rice. It was amazing that Marie Curie did research in physics and chemistry. It was difficult for him to finish his task back in those days. It's really very nice of her to support and encourage others. Key words: necessary amazing wise inspiring brave 六、教学反思 本节课Grammar Focus部分的教学基本达到预期目标。学生在4a环节能较快地理解"It + be + adj. + of/for sb. + to do"结构，但在4b改写句子时，部分学生对"of"和"for"的区分仍不够熟练，需要更多对比练习。4c关于张骞的阅读材料学生兴趣较高，但讨论环节后进生产量有限，今后可增加句型支架和同伴示范。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
