Unit 4 He said I was hard-working.
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, nice to meet you here! I am
Zou Yanni from Qili Middle School, It’s my great honor to stand here
to share my teaching ideas with you. Today I am going to talk about the
first period in Section A of Unit 4 He said I was hard-working, which is
taken from Go for it, Book 4. My presentation consists of six parts:
analysis of the teaching material, analysis of the students,teaching methods, guide of studying ways, teaching procedures and teaching reflections.
I. Analysis of the teaching material
i)Status and function
The topic of this unit is about telling a story. The first period serves as an
introduction and a lead-in part. They willl learn to talk about what a soap
opera is and report what people said. The materials in talking are mostly from the real life and are familiar to students, so they are very interested in it.A series of questions and a big picture are used to attracts students’ attention. And listening and pairwork are also used in this period.
ii) Teaching aims and demands
1. Knowledge Objects
In this lesson, Ss should master the new word “mad” and the phrase“ be mad at”. At
the same time, they should know how to use the key structures:
--What did your math teacher say?
—He said I was hard-working.
2. Ability Objects
In this lesson, I’ll mainly train the Ss listening and speaking abilities and
develop the Ss’ abilities of communication by learning the useful structures.
3. Moral Objects
From this lesson, the Ss should learn how to work with others and help each
other, how to express their own ideas during the communication.
4.Teaching keys and difficulties
According to the teaching aims, I think the focus of this lesson is the new
expressions and help the Ss to communicate with each other. The difficulty is to help the Ss make conversations freely using the target language.
5．Teaching aids
A tape recorder and a computer for multimedia use.
II.Analysis of the students
The Ss have learned English for one and a half years, they can express their
thought and communicate with each other with English well. And all the Ss
will be interested in the topic, which is related to their real life.. It’s helpful
for our study of this lesson.
III.Teaching methods
In this lesson, I’ll mainly use the cooperating teaching method, and it will be
used in the whole lesson. I think it’s helpful to develop the Ss’ thought. 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 tosuccess.
IV．Guide of studying ways
In order to guide the Ss better, develop the Ss’ abilities, in this lesson, the Sswill learn how to be a good language learner, and how to communicate with
others. It will be very helpful for their learning in the future. I think good
studying ways can help the Ss to be good language learners.
V．Teaching procedures
Step1. Revision
.First , have a dictation of Unit3.
Purpose of my designing: I think it is important to review the knowledge we have
learned.
Step 2 Presentation
Ask four students to stand in front of the class, and the teacher asks them the
following questions as a reporter.
1. What are you going to do when you grow up?
2. What are you going to do next week?
3. What are going to do after school?
The students will give different answers, then ask a good student to report what they
said.
I am going to e a doctor.
What did she say?----------She said she was going to be a doctor.
I am going to have a party on Friday night.
What did he say?-------He said he was going to have a party on Friday night.
I am going to do my homework.
What did she say ?------ She said she was going to do her homework.
I am going home after school.
What did she say?-----She said she was going home after school.
Say In this unit we are going to learn to use words like to report what someone said.
Purpose of my designing: This activity introduces some new vocabulary and
provide oral practice using the target language. I think it is much easier for the
Ss to learn if I present the key structures one by one and they can master the
structures quickly by doing this.
Step 3 Groupwork
Students read the instructions. Then ask a student to read the four questions. And
write the words on the books. Explain what soap opera is and encourage Ss to say
some soap operas in English or in Chinese.
Help Ss form small groups. Ss begin to talk about the questions. .
E.g. What did Marcia say? She said she said she was having a surprise party for Lana
on Friday night. Repeat the other pictures in the same way.
And explain the meaning of “be mad at sb”( here it means “be angry with sb”)
Purpose of my designing: This step is employed to make the Ss get the general
idea of the dialogue as a whole one. At the same time let the Ss have a chance to
practice their listening and spoken ability.
Step 4 Listening practice
Listen and number the pictures in activity 1a.
Task 1. Play the recording the first time. Students only listen.
