资源简介 Understanding ideas—Reading Study of the Text What: This text provides a simplified explanation of the process of photosynthesis in plants, using anthropomorphic language to describe the plant’s parts(e.g., Worker No. 55) and their functions. It describes how plants collect sunlight and CO2 during the day, mix water, CO2, and sunlight in the leaves to produce sugar and oxygen. It also emphasizes the importance of plants in providing food and oxygen for animals and humans.Why: The author intends to convey the importance of plants and their vital role in the natural world. By personifying plant parts and describing their functions in a playful manner, the text makes science more approachable and interesting for young learners.How: The text is written in a narrative style, using simple sentences and pastel colours to engage readers. Key sentence structures include the present tense statements, such as “It’s quarter past seven.” and “He works in Workshop 1001 in the Leaf.” The text also includes illustrations to aid understanding, making it suitable for junior high school students. Teaching Objectives By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:1.name the parts of a plant with new words.2.describe how plants work and grow.3.talk about the importance of plants in nature and our lives. Teaching Process Teaching Objectives Teaching Activities Effectiveness Evaluation1.To name the parts of a plant with new words. Step 1 Lead-in 1.Display pictures of plants and have students match the parts of the plant(e.g. leaf, stem, root) with the corresponding words. 2.Use a photo album about plants to stimulate students’ interest and get them engaged in identifying the parts of a plant. 3.Fill in the blanks with words related to plant parts and their functions(e.g. sugar, sunlight, leaf, water). Check if students can correctly match the plant parts with the new vocabulary. Assess their pronunciation and understanding of the terms.Purpose To introduce key vocabulary related to plant parts and initiate discussion about plants.2.To describe how plants work and grow. Step 2 While-reading 1.Have students quickly read Paragraphs 1 and 2 and answer questions about the plant workers and their work process. 2.Questions might include “When does Worker No. 55 start work ” and “How do the workers work ”. 3.Encourage students to use the text to complete a mind map of the plant’s work process. 4.Have students read Paragraphs 3 and 4 in detail, focusing on the process of photosynthesis. Check if students can accurately answer the questions based on the text. Evaluate their ability to summarise the main points of the text.Purpose To help students quickly understand the general content of the material and identify the key information about how plants work.3.To talk about the importance of plants in nature and our lives. Step 3 Post-reading 1.Ask students to complete a chart with information about what plants produce and their uses. 2.Discuss the importance of these products(sugar and oxygen) to the plant’s growth and to animals and humans. Evaluate students’ under-standing of the process of photosynthesis and the importance of plants.Purpose To improve students’ reading comprehension and their ability to understand the details of how plants grow.Homework Required: Familiarise yourself with the new words and phrases in this lesson. Optional: Use the words and expressions learned in this lesson to retell the process of photosynthesis in plants. Teaching Reflection 展开更多...... 收起↑ 资源预览
