Go For It Unit6 It’s raining!Good morning, everyone!I’m Yang Xiaoying from Longj iadian Middle School.It’s my great pleasure to be here sharing my lesson with you .The content of my lesson is Section A of Unit 6 It’s raining.It’s from Grade 7 in Go For It.I’ll prepare to say the lesson from five parts.一． Analysis of the teaching material1. Status and function: The main topic of unit 6 is “the weather”and What’s happening? In this unit,the students will learn to talk about different kinds of weather.This is a topic that is related to their daily life,so it can raise their learning interests and it will be also helpful to improve their spoken English.2. Teaching aims and demands:A.: Knowledge objectsTo learn the target words raining, windy, cloudy, sunny, snowing in this lesson.The target sentence construction in this lesson is: How is the weather?It’s…….B.: Ability objects :(1) To develop the Ss' abilities of listening, speaking, reading and writing.(2) To train the Ss' abilities of working in pairs.(3) To develop the Ss' abilities of communication by learning the usefulstructures.C.:Emotion objects:To train the students to love nature, and develop their good friendship.3. Difficult and important points:To get the local weather information by using their knowledge which they have learnt.4. Teaching aids: Multi-media computer, Tape recorder, They will be needed in this lesson.二． Analysis of the studentsThe Ss have learned English for about one year so far. They can understandsome words and some simple sentences. The Ss have taken a great interest in English now.三.Teaching methodAs we all know: the main instructional aims of learning English in middle school is to cultivate students’ basic abilities of listening 、speaking、reading and writing and their good sense of the English langua ge. So in this lesson I’ll mainly use “Task-based” teaching method. That is to say, I wi ll let the Ss learn in real situations, finish a task by making a survey to help the Ss to get a better understanding of the key structure of the conversation. I’ll also use “situation communicating”method. It can provide enough listening and speaking situations for Ss. I think good teaching methods are the keys to success.四．Study methodI request the students to study English independenly cooperatively and investigatively. Each unit in Go for it contains pair work, group work and games. The students who sit at the same table and groups can make a discussion and learn from each other. It makes each student relaxed. They needn’t worry about making mistakes. It can help students to think and to say what they want to say. Study becomes more relaxed and pleased in this kind of environment.五.Teaching stepsI’ll finish this lesson in 5 steps.Step1---ReviewP u r p o s e:T o f o r m a b e t t e r s u r r o u n d i n g f o r t h e s t u d e n t s b y s p e a k i n g a n d d o i n g s o m e p h y s i c a l r e s p o n s e a n d a t t h e s a m e t i m e i t p r o v i d e s s i t u a t i o n s t o r e v i e w l e a r n tk n o w l e d g e f o r t h e n e x t s t e p.1.Let a student greet and make a duty report.2. Free talk between T and Ss about last unit.3. Review the present continuous tense by software.I will make a conversation with the students . I ask , students answer.Thequestion is:“ What is he doing?” Students answer :“ He is cooking.” Thesecond picture, “What is she doing?”“She is dancing.”The third picture, “What are they doing?”“They are flying kites.” And then I will let the students ask and answer in pairs using the target sentences “What is he doing?”“What is she doing?”“What are they doing?”. Make sure the students ask and answer correctly. They can use the words:watch TV、sleep、study、play the violin、play computer games、swim、 eat dinner and play basketball. Step2---PresentationLead in the new lesson by listening to a song together “How’s the weather?” The purpose is to raise Ss’ learning interests .The purpose is to present the key words one by one . It is much easier for the students to learn and grasp the meaning. Pictures provide a a real situation for students to understand the conversation better.I’ll mainly talk about this step.1.I’ll use a picture to ask a question: “Is it raining?” Ssanswer:”Yes,it is.” Then I’ll tell them if you want to know the weather, you can ask:“How is the weather?” The answer is:“It’s raining.”“raining”is a target word and “How is the weather?”is a target sentence.Help the Ss understand the meaning by body language. Then lead the Ss to read the sentences. Make sure they can say them out correctly.2.I will use the other pictures to teach the other target words“windy, sunny, cloudy and snowiny.”These are the sentences they must master. “How is the weather?”“It’s cloudy”. “It’s windy.”“It’s sunndy.”“It’s snowing.”and“It’s raining.”3. After they finish learning the target words. I will ask them to open the books and turn to P31. I will teach 1a.This activity introduces the key words.After they finish it， I will give them the right answers.4. We will do listening exercise 1bThis activity makes students practice to understand the target language in spoken English.The students can listen twice and finish them.5. 1c pairwork.This activity provides guided oral practice using the target language.Ask the students to make a conversation in pairs according to the model.I will let Ss do some more oral exercises.This is a weather report. I’ll let the students make a conversation in pairs with the weather information using the target words and sentences.天气报告eg,How is the weather in Beijing/Shanghai……?It is sunny /rainy…….6． After they finish, we will go on listening exercises. Look at Page 32-2a.At first I will point to the four pictures. Ask students to tell what each person is doing in each picture. For example “The boy is talking on the phone”. “The man is playing basketball.”and so on. Then I will play the tape twice and the Ss number the pictures. I will give them the right answers.7. Go on learning 2b. It’s listening exercises, too.I will ask a student to read the list of names and another student readthe list of activities for the class.Then play the tape twice. The studentslisten and match the names and the activities. After they finish , I will give them the correct answers.8. 2c-Pairwork.I will ask Ss to make conversations in pairs, talk about the people in2a.I’ll ask some pairs to present their conversations to the class.After that,make a survey. Ask your partner the following questions. Then report it.Where is your fiend?How’s the weather there?What is he/she doing?Step 3. The study of word building.Purpose: In order to raise students’ English level, I will teach them word-building --how to change nouns into adjectives. It can help them improve the abilities of remembering words easily. The words are sun–sunny,snow–snowy, wind-windy, rain-rainy, cloud-cloudy.Step 4. Summary and homework.Purpose:It’s important for students to speak English as much as possible in class or after class.It’s nesesseny for them to do some extensive exercises after class to consolidate the knowledge they learned.In this lesson, We have learnt some words and sentences about the weather .Ss can use these to ask and answer about local weather imformation.Homework for this lesson is:1) Write a weather report according to the form .2) Listen to the local weather report and get ready for the coversationfor tomorrow.3) Remember the target words and sentences by heart.That’s all. Thanks a lot for your attention.I think the most difficult point of this period is to make sure the students can use the patterns “How’s the weather? It’s rainy/cloudy/sunny…………” in their daily life correctly.And I will use a tape recorder and the multi-media computer to help me achieve the aims.The task-based method, communicated method, group cooperate method will be used in this period.To accomplish the aims, I design the following steps:And I will stick these sentence patterns on the Bb. Finally I’ll let the Ss do pai r works to consolidate them. Step 3 Listen to the tape and Ss imitate to read and say.for example, the five-step method. So in this lesson, after presentation, I ask Ss to listen to the tape with three Qs, read in different roles and in pairs, then try to recite the text.Step 4 Ss be the main body, T makes a guider.In class, Ss play as a host, and the T makes an influence on guiding, help Ss to act the learnt dialogue, it can stress the position of the Ss, and arouse their interest.Step 5 Change class to life, learn by themselves.Is this the end of the class? I don’t think so. If there is an end, I think it should be in the life. So I extend this class, encourage Ss to use the learned to communicate with each other in their life.In a word, the whole period is based on tasks, which are designed from easy steps to steps that are challenging. When the Ss are carting out the tasks, they can acquire information, knowledge, and have their ability and skills trained.That’s all. Thanks a lot for your attention.。
