Unit 2 My favourite season
Good morning, my dear judges. I’m glad to share my teaching design here. The teaching material is Part A , of Unit2 from PEP Primary English, Book6 This unit is mainly about seasons.Now, I will explain the lesson from the following aspects.
Firstly, I want to talk about the teaching material.
There are two parts, Let’s try and let’s talk. The question of Let’s try is about weather, my students have learned it in unit 2 book4. So I think it’s easy for them to finish this question.There is a short dialogue on this page, which includes a key sentence:Which season do you like best? And several key words of this unit. This dialogue is closely to students daily life. I will organize a role play to let my students practice this dialogue and understanding the meaning through their talking. After the talking, there is a small survey with a mini dialogue. I will encourage them fulfill the table by themselves using English. Secondly, it is about the students.
My students are in Grade5.They are active and curious.So I think they want to know others’ favourite season. After learning English for a long time .they have learned many words about describing things and weather, so they can talk something about the season they like best. It’s not difficult for them to understand the meaning of this dialogue. But the most import thing is using these sentences in a real-life situation. I will provide a right situation for my students to communicate.
So,based on the material and students’ learning condition. I set the following aims. The first one is language knowledge.
By the end of the lesson, students will know the meaning of this short dialogue and the usage of the sentences; Which season do you like best?
As for the language skills, students will be able to read this short dialogue correctly. They are supposed to use the key sentence to ask others’ favorite season.
In term of affect, students will be more interested in four seasons and love the nature more.
Next, let’s focus on the teaching procedures. I will finish the lesson in 4 stages.
The first stage is warming up. It will take about 5mins.
After greeting with my students, I will begin the lesson by enjoying the song named ‘The four seasons’ together with the students.The song can form a good English learning surrounding for students, and, at the same time, it helps students reviewing the learned knowledge.
The second stage is pre-reading. It will cost about10 minutes.
At this stage I will help my students enhancing the learned knowledge and understanding the meaning of the key sentence. So ,firstly ,the students will finish the question of let’s try and read the words near the question. Then I will have a free talk with my students ,It goes like Which season do you like best?why? Then I will encourage my students ask each other. In this activity I will explain the word ‘best’ like this way , I like spring and winter ,but I like winter best.
Next stage is while-reading .It will cost 15 minutes, including three activities’ choose the best ’ ‘fill in the blank’ and ‘role read’
Students will choose a best title for that dialogue by listening . Students can
understand the main idea of this dialogue through this activity.
In the second activity, students will read the dialogue by themselves to fill the blank I given . It’s helpful for students to get the meaning of details in this dialogue. At last, students will be encouraged to role read the dialogue in a small group.The purpose of this activity is to draw the whole students’ attention to the reading of the dialogue.
The last stage is post-reading.It will cost about 10 minutes.
In this stage, I will give students a free space to show their abilities.
I will use two activities here, ‘role play’ and ‘do a survey’. First , I will change the dialogue with two students as an example. Then I will give my students several minutes to practice their role play in a small group and show it. Making a new dialogue is to check if students can use the sentence correctly.After this, students will finish the survey on this page.They may don’t know how to do a survey.So will finish this table with a student as an example.
Communicative language teaching is used here.The activity is used to develop students’ ability of communication.
The fifth is homework which includes two kinds : must do and optional. For must do, students need to listen and read the dialogue for three times . For optional, they can make a summary of the survey. That all for my presentation, thank you.
