Cultural Awareness: Explore diverse planning models in global contexts through project research.
Thinking Quality: Synthesize information to design logical plans and justify decisions with critical thinking.

【教学过程】
Teacher: Good morning, class! Welcome back to our English class. In the previous lessons of Unit 6, we've been talking about making plans. Today, we are going to focus on Section B - Project. First, let's have a quick review. Who can tell me what a resolution is
Student 1: A resolution is a promise that you make to yourself.
Teacher: Excellent! That's exactly right. Resolutions are very common, especially at the start of a new year. We make resolutions to improve our lives. Now, let's think about some resolutions we've made before. Can you share one of your resolutions with the class
Student 2: Last year, I made a resolution to read more books.
Teacher: Great! Reading more books is a wonderful resolution. How about you, Student 3
Student 3: I resolved to exercise more often.
Teacher: That's also a very good one. Exercising is important for our physical health. Now, let's move on to 1a. Look at the pictures and match them with the New Year's resolutions. Number the pictures from 1 to 5. (Give students some time to work on it)
Teacher: Okay, let's check the answers. What do you think the first picture matches with
Student 4: I think the first picture matches with "learn to play the piano".
Teacher: Right! How about the second one
Student 5: It should be "make the soccer team".
Teacher: Correct. And the third one
Student 6: "Get good grades".
Teacher: Well done. Fourth one
Student 7: "Eat healthier food".
Teacher: Absolutely. And the last one
Student 8: "Get lots of exercise".
Teacher: Perfect. Now, let's have a conversation practice. I'll ask two of you to come to the front and role - play. A, you start by asking B what they are going to do next year. B, you answer according to the resolutions in 1a.
Student A: What are you going to do next year
Student B: Well, I'm going to learn to play the piano. I really love music.
Teacher: Sounds interesting. Now, B, you ask A.
Student B: What are you going to do next year
Student A: I'm going to make the soccer team. I'm going to practice really hard.
Teacher: Great job, both of you. Now, let's listen to a conversation in 1c. While listening, circle the resolutions you hear. (Play the recording)
Teacher: Okay, let's check. Which resolutions did you hear
Student 9: I heard "learn to play the piano", "get good grades" and "make the soccer team".
Teacher: Exactly. Now, listen again in 1d. Write down how the people are going to make their resolutions work. (Play the recording again)
Teacher: Let's share the answers. How is Lucy going to make her resolution work
Student 10: Lucy is going to take piano lessons.
Teacher: Right. And Kim
Student 11: Kim is going to study hard and do her homework every day to get good grades.
Teacher: Good. How about Mike
Student 12: Mike is going to practice really hard, and this summer, he's going to go to a soccer camp to make the soccer team.
Teacher: Very good. Now, it's your turn. Take out your New Year's resolution and share with your partner how you are going to make it work. Then we'll have some pairs share with the whole class. (Give students time to talk in pairs)
Teacher: Okay, let's have some pairs share. Pair 1, please.
Student 13: My resolution is to learn a new language. I'm going to take online courses and practice speaking with my foreign friends.
Student 14: My resolution is to save money. I'm going to make a budget and not buy unnecessary things.
Teacher: Wonderful ideas. Now, let's move on to 2a. Discuss the questions with your partner. Did you make any resolutions last year And were you able to keep them (Give students time to discuss)
Teacher: Let's share. Student 15, did you make any resolutions last year
Student 15: Yes, I made a resolution to get up early every day, but I didn't keep it very well.
Teacher: Why do you think you didn't keep it
Student 15: It was too difficult. I always felt sleepy in the morning.
Teacher: That's a common problem. Sometimes resolutions can be too hard to keep. How about you, Student 16
Student 16: I made a resolution to clean my room every week, and I was able to keep it.
Teacher: Great! What helped you to keep it
Student 16: I set a reminder on my phone, and I also told my mom, so she could remind me.
Teacher: That's a very smart way. Now, let's read the text in 2b. It's about different kinds of resolutions. While reading, think about the main idea of each paragraph.
(Students read the text)
Teacher: Let's analyze the text. What's the main idea of the first paragraph
Student 17: It's about what a resolution is and when people usually make resolutions.
Teacher: Right. And the second paragraph
Student 18: It lists some different kinds of resolutions, like those about physical health, self - improvement and better planning.
Teacher: Very good. How about the third paragraph
Student 19: It says that although there are different resolutions, most of them have one thing in common, that is, people hardly ever keep them, and it gives the reasons.
Teacher: Excellent. Now, let's do 2c. Match each paragraph with its main purpose. (Give students time to work on it)
Teacher: Let's check. What do you think the main purpose of Paragraph 1 is
Student 20: To introduce the meaning of a resolution.
Teacher: Correct. Paragraph 2
Student 21: To list some popular resolutions.
Teacher: Right. And Paragraph 3
Student 22: To explain why some people fail to keep resolutions.
Teacher: Well done. Now, let's do plete the mind map with the information from the text. (Give students time to complete the mind map)
Teacher: Let's share the mind map. For the "kinds of resolutions" part, what did you write
Student 23: Physical health, self - improvement and better planning.
Teacher: Good. And for examples under physical health
Student 24: Start an exercise program, eat less fast food.
Teacher: Right. Under self - improvement
Student 25: Take up a hobby like painting or learn to play a musical instrument.
Teacher: Perfect. Under better planning
Student 26: Make a weekly plan for schoolwork.
Teacher: Great. Now, let's discuss the questions in 2e. Do you think it is useful to make resolutions Why or why not And do you like to plan ahead or do things at the last moment Why First, discuss in groups. (Give students time to discuss in groups)
Teacher: Let's have some groups share. Group 1, what do you think
Student 27: We think it is useful to make resolutions because it gives us goals to work towards. But sometimes it's hard to keep them. As for planning, some of us like to plan ahead because it makes us more organized, while some like to do things at the last moment because it gives us a sense of urgency.
Teacher: That's a very balanced view. Now, let's move on to the project part. Your task is to make a resolution plan. First, think about what you want to improve. It could be related to your studies, your hobbies, your health, anything. Then write down your resolution and how you are going to achieve it. You can use the examples we've learned today as a reference. You can work alone or in pairs. (Give students enough time to work on the project)
Teacher: Okay, let's have some of you share your resolution plans. Student 28, please.
Student 28: My resolution is to improve my math grades. I'm going to do more math exercises every day, ask my teacher for help when I have questions, and join a math study group.
Teacher: That's a very detailed and practical plan. How about you, Student 29
Student 29: I want to improve my drawing skills. I'm going to take a drawing class on weekends, practice drawing for at least 30 minutes every day, and follow some famous artists on social media to learn from them.
Teacher: Wonderful. Now, let's summarize what we've learned today. We've talked about different kinds of resolutions, why people make resolutions, and more importantly, how to make our resolutions work. Remember, making a resolution is the first step, but the key is to take action and stick to it. So, keep your resolution plans in mind and start working towards your goals. That's all for today's class. Thank you!
