Unit 1 You and Me Section B Project 教学设计
The project mainly involves creating personal profiles. In 3a, students are guided to answer a series of questions like "What is your name ", "How old are you ", "What is your favourite sport/food/...", and "What are your hobbies " These questions help students systematically organize their personal information, which serves as the basic content for their personal profiles.
Based on the answers in 3a, in 3b, students are required to write their own personal profiles. They need to transform those short - answer responses into a coherent passage, learning how to structure a proper self - introduction text. This process not only trains their writing skills but also makes them more proficient in using English to express personal details.
Finally, in 3c, an interactive activity is arranged. Students take turns to pick a classmate's profile, introduce the person without revealing the name, and the rest of the class guesses who it is. This activity not only enriches classroom atmosphere but also enables students to practice using English to describe others based on the personal profile information, enhancing their listening comprehension and speaking skills in a real - life - like communication scenario.
教学目标 Students should master basic sentence patterns for self - introduction, such as "My name is...", "I'm... years old", "I live in...", "My favourite... is...", "I have a... Its name is...". Be familiar with relevant vocabulary related to personal information and hobbies, like "parrot", "guitar", "tennis", "hobby", "information", etc., and be able to use them accurately in the process of creating personal profiles. Develop writing skills. Students should be able to write a simple and complete personal profile, including organizing ideas, connecting sentences smoothly, and presenting information clearly. Improve speaking and listening skills. Through the activity in 3c, students can practice describing others using the information in personal profiles and listening carefully to guess the person being described, thus enhancing their oral communication and listening comprehension abilities.
教学重难点 Mastering sentence patterns for self - introduction and using them correctly in writing personal profiles. These sentence patterns are the cornerstone for students to express their personal information in English. Understanding the structure and content requirements of personal profiles. Students need to know how to start, what key information to include, and how to end the profile appropriately. Using relevant vocabulary accurately to enrich the content of personal profiles. Organizing a coherent and engaging personal profile. Students may have trouble connecting sentences, making the transition between different parts of the profile natural, and presenting their personal information in an interesting way. Using English to describe others precisely in the activity of 3c. This requires students to convert the written information in the personal profile into oral description, which may pose challenges in terms of grammar, vocabulary selection, and fluency. Adapting to potential cultural differences in self - introduction and communication, even though the project mainly focuses on basic personal information.

教学过程
I. Warm - up (5 minutes)
Greeting and Quick Chat: The teacher starts the class by greeting students with enthusiasm, "Good morning/afternoon, dear students! How was your day so far " Then, randomly select a few students to share a fun thing that happened to them recently. This not only creates a warm and friendly classroom atmosphere but also helps students relax and get into an English - speaking mood.
Connection to the Topic: After the quick chat, the teacher shows a picture of a group of international students having a great time together. Ask students, "Do you want to make friends from all over the world What information would you like to share about yourself to attract new friends " This question leads students to think about the importance of self - introduction and smoothly connects to the project topic of creating personal profiles.
II. Pre - project Preparation (10 minutes)
Vocabulary and Sentence Pattern Review: Display some flashcards with words related to personal information and hobbies, such as "parrot", "guitar", "tennis", "hobby", "information". Invite students to quickly read the words and make a sentence using each word. For example, if the word is "guitar", a student might say, "I like playing the guitar in my free time." Then, review key sentence patterns for self - introduction, like "My name is...", "I'm... years old", "I live in...", "My favourite... is...". Write these sentence patterns on the blackboard and ask students to repeat them several times to reinforce memory.
Example Analysis: Show an example of a well - written personal profile on the PPT. Read the profile aloud to the students, emphasizing the clear structure and the use of vivid details. Analyze the profile together, pointing out how it starts with a friendly greeting, then smoothly introduces basic information, hobbies, and ends with an invitation for further communication. For example, "Hello, everyone! My name is Lily. I'm 13 years old and I live in a beautiful city. My favourite sport is swimming, and I also enjoy reading books. I hope we can become good friends. Please write to me." This analysis helps students understand the key elements and the general structure of a personal profile.
III. Project Execution (20 minutes)
Answering Questions in 3a: Refer to the questions in 3a, such as "What is your name ", "How old are you ", "What is your favourite sport/food/...", "What are your hobbies ". Write these questions on the blackboard again. Ask students to take out a piece of paper and answer these questions one by one, using complete sentences. Walk around the classroom, offering help and guidance. For example, if a student has trouble expressing their hobby, suggest some related vocabulary. After students finish answering, ask them to check their answers with a partner, making sure the sentences are grammatically correct and the information is clearly stated.
Writing Personal Profiles in 3b: Based on the answers in 3a, ask students to start writing their own personal profiles. Remind them to follow the structure of the example they analyzed earlier. They can start with a greeting, then incorporate their answers to the questions in 3a, and end with a friendly closing. Encourage students to add some extra details to make their profiles more interesting. For instance, if they like reading, they can mention their favourite book or author. While students are writing, play some soft background music to create a relaxed writing environment. After about 10 minutes, ask students to read their profiles to a new partner. The partner listens carefully and gives feedback on the content, grammar, and overall readability of the profile.
IV. Interactive Activity (10 minutes)
Explaining the Activity in 3c: Clearly explain the activity in 3c to the students. Each student will take turns to pick out one classmate's profile. They need to introduce the person described in the profile without saying the name. The rest of the class listens carefully and tries to guess who the person is. Demonstrate the activity with a sample profile first. For example, pick up a profile and say, "This person is 12 years old. Their favourite sport is basketball, and they have a pet dog named Coco. Who could it be "
Conducting the Activity: Start the activity. Make sure all students have a chance to participate. Encourage the introducers to use clear and vivid language to describe the person in the profile. For the listeners, remind them to listen attentively and ask relevant questions if they are not sure. This activity not only helps students practice using the third - person singular form correctly when describing others but also improves their listening skills and ability to infer information from oral descriptions.
V. Summary and Extension (5 minutes)
Recap: Briefly summarize the key points of the class, including the important vocabulary for personal information and hobbies, the sentence patterns for self - introduction, and the process of creating a personal profile. Emphasize the importance of clear communication and the correct use of English in self - introduction.
Homework Assignment: Assign homework to students. They are required to create a more detailed personal profile at home. They can add information about their family members, their school life, and their future dreams. They can also decorate their profiles with some simple drawings or stickers related to their hobbies. This homework assignment allows students to further practice and improve their writing skills, and also gives them an opportunity to express themselves more fully.
