By the end of the lesson, students will be able to:
Extract details about student councils (structure, roles, challenges) from the text to judge True/False, aligning with High school entrance examination reading comprehension skills.
Master target vocabulary (student council, president, provide...for, reach an agreement) and correctly use conjunctions (and, but, or, so), preparing for High school entrance examination vocabulary and grammar tasks.
Understand the purpose and challenges of student councils (promoting peace, cross - cultural cooperation), supporting High school entrance examination - style thematic analysis of community building.
Collaborate in groups to practice conjunctions through creative sentence - building, enhancing High school entrance examination oral communication and grammar application skills.
II. Key Points & Difficulties
Key Points
Vocabulary & Grammar:
Nouns: student council, president, agreement, religion, culture; Phrases: provide...for, reach an agreement, raise money.
Conjunctions: and (addition), but (contrast), or (choice), so (result).
Text Analysis:
Student council structure (elected by students), purpose (make school better), and challenges (cross - cultural disputes).
Difficulties
Differentiating conjunctions’ logical relationships (e.g., but for contrast vs. so for cause - effect).
Grasping the complexity of student council work (balancing diverse opinions, cross - cultural cooperation).
Applying provide...for correctly (verb + sth. + for sb.).
III. Teaching Methods
Task - Based Learning (TBL): Through text analysis (True/False), vocabulary/grammar practice, and group sentence - building tasks.
Text Deconstruction: Breaking down the text into “structure → purpose → challenges” for clarity.
Collaborative Learning: Group work for conjunction practice, emphasizing logical connection.
IV. Teaching Aids
CAI (student council infographics, conjunction usage charts, vocabulary examples).
Textbook, worksheets, and “Conjunction Card” sets (and, but, or, so for group games).
