Unit 3 Same or Different
第1课时　Secion A (1a-1d)
Teaching Objectives 1. Language Competence Vocabulary: Match antonyms (1a) and use descriptive adjectives (outgoing, shy, hard-working). Listening: Extract details (1b: reasons, fears, solutions; 1d: character traits). Speaking: Use comparative sentences (Is... taller than... Who... better ) to compare people (1e). 2. Cultural Awareness Recognize that individual differences (e.g., shyness vs. outgoing) make teams stronger. 3. Thinking Quality Analytical Thinking: Infer character traits from dialogue and organize comparisons. Logical Thinking: Structure comparative questions and responses. 4. Learning Ability Apply pre-listening prediction to improve comprehension. Cooperate in pairs to practice speaking.
Teaching Key Points Master antonyms and comparative plete listening tasks by capturing character traits and events.
Teaching Difficulties Distinguishing subtle differences in listening (e.g., shyer vs. more outgoing). Using comparative forms correctly in spontaneous speech.
Teaching Procedures Step 1: Warm-up & Antonyms (1a, 7 mins) Antonym Flash Game: Show words from 1a (e.g., fast, shy, late). Students shout their antonyms (slow, outgoing, early). Explain tricky pairs: funny→boring, lazy→hard-working. Vocabulary Introduction: Teach pronunciation and usage: outgoing (likes socializing), shy (nervous around others), hard-working (diligent). Step 2: Pre-listening Prediction (1b-1d, 8 mins) Scene Introduction: Show 1b’s context: music club, festival. Ask: “What might Chen Jie and Peter talk about Guess: performance, fears, help ” 1d Preview: Look at character descriptions (e.g., plays flute better, is taller). Predict who matches which trait. Step 3: While-listening: Capture Details (1b-1d, 15 mins) 1b: First Listening Play the recording. Students fill in: Peter encourages Chen Jie because she plays the Chinese flute well. Chen Jie is afraid of performing in front of people. They solve it by performing together. 1c: Second Listening Listen to the festival performance. Ask: “How was their performance Exciting Successful ” (Infer from context.) 1d: Third Listening Match characters to traits: Chen Jie: is shyer, plays the Chinese flute better Peter: is more outgoing, works harder Emma: is taller, has longer hair Ella: sings louder, dances better Highlight comparative clues (taller, longer hair, louder, better). Step 4: Post-listening: Comparative Speaking (1e, 12 mins) Model Dialogue: Teacher-student demo: T: “Is Ella taller than Emma ” S: “No, she’s shorter than Emma.” T: “Who dances better, Ella or Emma ” S: “Ella dances better.” Pair Work: Students use 1d’s info to create comparative questions. Example: A: “Is Peter more outgoing than Chen Jie ” B: “Yes, he is.” A: “Who works harder, Peter or Chen Jie ” B: “Peter works harder.” Error Correction: Monitor pairs, correct mistakes (e.g., “more shy” → “shyer” for one-syllable adjectives). Step 5: Summary & Homework (3 mins) Grammar Recap: Comparative rules: Short adjectives: tall→taller, shy→shyer (double consonant for shy). Long adjectives: outgoing→more outgoing, hard-working→more hard-working. Homework: Writing: Write 3 comparative sentences about classmates (e.g., “Li Hua is more hard-working than me.”). Listening: Listen to 1b-1d again and imitate the pronunciation of comparative adjectives.
Blackboard Design How are we different from each other ▍Antonyms (1a): fast slow shy outgoing late early tall short lazy hard-working loud quiet funny boring ▍Comparative Adjectives (1e): - Short adjectives: +er → taller, shyer - Long adjectives: more + adj. → more outgoing, more hard-working ▍1d Matches: Chen Jie: shyer, plays flute better Peter: more outgoing, works harder Emma: taller, longer hair Ella: sings louder, dances better
Teaching Reflection Strengths: Antonym game and comparative speaking make grammar engaging. Listening tasks are layered (prediction→detail capture→analysis), building comprehension. Weaknesses & Improvements: Some students may confuse -er and more. Provide a “syllable count” rule (1-2 syllables: -er; 3+ syllables: more). Shy students may hesitate in pair work. Offer sentence frames (e.g., “Is... more... than... I think...”).
第2课时　Pronunciation&（2a-2d）
Teaching Objectives 1. Language Competence Pronunciation: Accurately pronounce / / (e.g., term, nurse) and / / (e.g., about, number), identifying sound-letter patterns. Listening: Extract comparative details (e.g., more activities, taller) from 2a. Speaking: Use comparative sentences (taller than..., more hard-working) to compare people across 4 dimensions (2d-2e). 2. Cultural Awareness Understand that diverse traits (e.g., shyness vs. outgoingness) strengthen teamwork. 3. Thinking Quality Analytical Thinking: Infer twin differences/similarities from dialogue. Logical Thinking: Organize comparisons using 2d’s framework. 4. Learning Ability Apply sound-letter association to decode new words. Collaborate in pairs to practice comparative speaking.
Teaching Key Points Master / /./ / pronunciation and comparative adjective usage. Extract comparative details from listening.
Teaching Difficulties Distinguishing / / (stressed) vs. / / (unstressed) in real speech. Using more + adj. (e.g., more hard-working) correctly.
Teaching Procedures Step 1: Pronunciation Warm-up (10 mins) Sound Classification: Students listen to and repeat words from 1, grouping them by / / or / /: / /: term, person, first, dirty, nurse, Thursday, early, learn / /: about, agree, quiet, moment, together, compare, number, doctor Add new words: / / → herb, bird; / / → dinner, garden. Sound Game: “Stressed vs. Unstressed”: Teacher says words; students clap if / / (stressed), nod if / / (unstressed). Step 2: Pre-listening Prediction (5 mins) Context Introduction: Show 2a’s scenario: Han Lin interviews Emma and Ella (twin winners of the school music festival). Predict: “What might they talk about Festival changes Their differences ” Vocabulary Pre-teach: New words: interview, prize, similar, spare time, besides. Step 3: While-listening: Comparative Details (15 mins) 2a: First Listening (Fill in Blanks) Play the recording. Students capture comparative phrases: more activities; more colorful; a little taller; more hard-working; Besides that. 2b: Second Listening (Comprehension) Read the conversation. Answer: Ella thinks the festival is more colorful this mon ground: Both work hard and won the prize. Differences: Emma is taller; Ella is more hard-working; Emma loves reading. What makes them a great team: Their differences complement each other. 2c: Third Listening (Intonation & Role-play) Listen again, focusing on intonation (rising for questions, falling for statements). Students role-play the conversation in pairs, mimicking tone. Step 4: Comparative Speaking Framework (15 mins) 2d: Analyze Comparison Dimensions Discuss 4 dimensions (Appearance, Personality, Habit, Strength). Brainstorm words for each: Appearance: tall, short, long hair... Personality: outgoing, quiet, funny... Habit: get up early, work hard... Strength: sing well, run fast... 2e: Pair Comparison Practice Students compare themselves using 2d’s framework. Example dialogue: A: I’m taller than you. B: But I run faster than you. A: I’m more outgoing, but you’re more hard-working. Discuss follow-up questions: “How are you different What’s in common What can you learn ” Step 5: Summary & Homework (5 mins) Knowledge Recap: Pronunciation: / / (stressed er/ir/ur/ear) vs. / / (paratives: -er (short adjectives: taller) vs. more + adj. (long adjectives: more hard-working). Homework: Pronunciation: Record yourself reading 1’s words and 2a’s dialogue. Writing: Write a short passage comparing yourself with a friend (3+ dimensions). Speaking: Prepare to share your comparison in class.
Blackboard Design Pronunciation & Comparisons ▍1. Sound Rules: / / → Stressed er/ir/ur/ear: term, first, nurse, early / / → Unstressed: about, quiet, together, number ▍2. 2a Answers: more activities; colorful; taller; hard-working; Besides that ▍3. Comparison Dimensions (2d): Appearance: tall, short, long hair... Personality: outgoing, quiet... Habit: get up early, work hard... Strength: sing well, run fast...
Teaching Reflection Strengths: Pronunciation practice links rules to games, boosting engagement. Listening tasks are layered (prediction→detail→intonation), building comprehension. Weaknesses & Improvements: / /./ / confusion may persist. Add minimal pairs (e.g., heard /h d/ vs. harder / hɑ d /). More + adj. errors (e.g., omitting more) need reinforcement. Use a “syllable count” rule (≥3 syllables: more).
第3课时　Grammar Focus
Teaching Objectives 1. Language Competence Grammar: Use comparatives (-er, more + adj.) and as...as (affirmative/negative: as...as, not as...as). Writing: Create comparative sentences using 3b’s prompts and 3c’s data. 2. Cultural Awareness Appreciate city diversity (e.g., Guangzhou’s warmth vs. Chicago’s coolness). 3. Thinking Quality Analytical Thinking: Extract patterns from 3a and data from 3c. Logical Thinking: Structure comparisons (e.g., X is [comparative] than Y). 4. Learning Ability Apply inductive learning to master grammar rules. Collaborate in peer feedback for writing tasks.
Teaching Key Points Comparative formation: -er (short adjectives), more + adj. (long adjectives), and irregular forms (early→earlier). as...as structure: Affirmative (as hard as) and negative (not as slim as).
Teaching Difficulties Choosing between -er and more + adj. (e.g., smarter vs. more intelligent). Using much to modify comparatives (e.g., much smaller).
Teaching Procedures Step 1: Warm-up & Activation (5 mins) Daily Comparison: Ask students to compare themselves with a partner (e.g., “Who is taller Who runs faster ”). Write responses on the board (e.g., “Li Hua is taller than Zhang Min.”). Preview Grammar: Point out comparative structures (-er, more), and ask: “How are these sentences structured ” Step 2: Inductive Grammar Learning (3a, 15 mins) Analyze 3a Sentences: Students read 3a and identify: Comparatives: more activities, more colorful, taller, shorter, earlier, harder. as...as structure: as hard as. Group work: Categorize comparatives into: -er: taller, shorter, earlier (short/dual-syllable adjectives). more + adj.: more activities, more colorful (long adjectives). Irregular: early→earlier (exception: dual-syllable with -y → -ier). Summarize Rules: Teacher highlights: -er: Short adjectives (1-2 syllables: tall, short, early). more + adj.: Long adjectives (3+ syllables: colorful, intelligent). as...as: Equal comparison (affirmative); not as/so...as: Unequal (negative). Step 3: Guided Practice (3b, 12 mins) Demo with 3b-1: Teacher models: Q: Is Julie slimmer than you A: No, she isn’t. She is as slim as me. Emphasize as...as (equality) vs. -er (inequality). Independent Writing: Students complete 3b’s 4 questions/answers. Answers: 2. Q: Are you more serious than your cousin A: No, I’m not. I am as serious as he is. 3. Q: Is Tom smarter than Sam A: No, I don’t think so. I think Sam is as smart as Tom. 4. Q: Does Jack swim faster than Sally A: No, he doesn’t. He swims as fast as Sally. Peer Check & Feedback: Students exchange papers to check for: Correct comparative form (-er vs. more). Proper as...as structure (affirmative/negative). Step 4: Data-Driven Comparison (3c, 15 mins) Analyze City Data: Display 3c’s chart (Guangzhou vs. Chicago). Discuss categories: population, area, rainfall, temperature. Write Comparative Sentences: Guide students to use large, small, warm, cool, much: The population of Chicago was much smaller than that of Guangzhou in 2022. In area, Guangzhou is larger than Chicago. If you don’t like rain, you may like Chicago’s weather more than Guangzhou’s. Guangzhou has a pleasant temperature in January. It is much warmer than Chicago in January. Chicago is cooler than Guangzhou in July. Cultural Discussion: Ask: “What do these comparisons tell us about the cities Which would you prefer to visit Why ” Step 5: Summary & Homework (3 mins) Grammar Recap: Write core rules on the board: Comparatives: -er (short), more (long), irregular forms. as...as: as [adj.] as (equal); not as/so [adj.] as (unequal). Homework: Writing: Compare yourself with a friend using 3 dimensions (e.g., “I am as hard-working as Lily, but she is more outgoing than me.”). Research: Find data to compare your city with another city (population, weather, etc.) and write 3 sentences.
Blackboard Design Grammar Focus: Comparatives & as...as ▍1. Comparative Rules: - Short adj. (+er): tall→taller, short→shorter, early→earlier - Long adj. (more + adj.): colorful→more colorful, intelligent→more intelligent - Irregular: good→better, bad→worse (not in this lesson, but noted) ▍2. as...as Structure: - Equal: as [adj.] as → *as hard as* - Unequal: not as/so [adj.] as → *not as slim as* ▍3. 3c Answers: 1. much smaller than 2. larger than 3. more than 4. warmer than 5. cooler than
Teaching Reflection Strengths: Inductive learning (students discover rules) enhances understanding. Data-driven practice (3c) connects grammar to real-world contexts. Weaknesses & Improvements: Students may confuse -er and more. Provide a “syllable count” handout (1-2 syllables: -er; 3+ syllables: more). Much + comparative (e.g., much smaller) needs more examples. Add drills: “Which is much bigger, a house or a city ”
第4课时 Section B（1a-1e）
Teaching Objectives 1. Language Competence Vocabulary: Master words like mirror, respect, humorous, outgoing, honest and use them in context. Reading: Extract Matt’s and Diana’s opinions (1b), match characters to traits (1c), and answer detail-based questions (1d). 2. Cultural Awareness Recognize that both similarities and differences can strengthen friendships (e.g., shared hobbies plementary traits). 3. Thinking Quality Analytical Thinking: Compare Matt’s and Diana’s views; infer how friends influence each other. Critical Thinking: Evaluate what “really matters” in friendship (1e). 4. Learning Ability Use reading strategies (skimming for main ideas, scanning for details) to comprehend texts. Collaborate in groups to discuss abstract topics (1e).
Teaching Key Points Understand Matt’s and Diana’s contrasting opinions on friendship. Extract details to support ideas (e.g., how Stephen helps Matt improve).
Teaching Difficulties Analyzing the deeper reasons behind their opinions (e.g., why Matt values similarity). Articulating critical thoughts about friendship in English (1e).
Teaching Procedures Step 1: Warm-up & Personal Connection (1a, 5 mins) Discussion Starter: Ask: “Who is your best friend How are you similar to or different from them ” Students share examples (e.g., “We both love painting, but she’s more outgoing.”). Vocabulary Activation: Write key words on the board: similar, different, hobby, personality, interest. Step 2: Pre-reading: Predict & Vocabulary (1b, 8 mins) Predict Opinions: Show Tom’s forum question: “Should friends be similar or different ” Ask students to predict: “What might Matt and Diana say Similar Different Why ” New Vocabulary Teaching: Teach words with visuals/examples: mirror (比喻：朋友如镜，反映自己) respect (尊重差异) humorous (幽默的，如 Diana 的朋友 Yuan Lei) outgoing (外向的，对比 shy) honest (诚实的，如 Zhang Yong) Step 3: While-reading: Analyze Opinions & Details (1b-1d, 20 mins) 1b: Skim for Main Ideas Students read Matt’s and Diana’s posts quickly to identify: Matt: Friends should be similar (like a mirror; shared hobbies/interests). Diana: Friends should be different (learn from differences; respect each other). 1c: Scan for Character Traits Students match people to descriptions (1c): Matt → B (reads more history books) Stephen → A (reads a lot of novels) Diana → E (helps a friend become more outgoing) Yuan Lei → D (is kind of shy) Zhang Yong → C (gives direct opinions) 1d: Deep Comprehension Guide students to answer questions with textual evidence: Why mirror → “You can understand people by knowing their friends.” Similarities between Stephen and Matt → Both love sports, are serious, share books. Why Matt improves at badminton → Stephen plays better, so Matt practices harder. Why Diana likes Zhang Yong → He’s honest and tells her when she’s wrong. How to treat differences → “Respect each other’s differences and learn from each other.” Step 4: Post-reading: Critical Discussion (1e, 12 mins) Group Debate Structure: Divide students into groups of 4. Assign roles: Similarity Advocate: Argue why similarities matter (e.g., shared hobbies = easy connection). Difference Advocate: Argue why differences matter (e.g., learn new things, complement each other). Moderator: Ensure everyone speaks; summarize key points. Guiding Questions: “What can similarities bring to a friendship ” (e.g., trust, shared joy) “What can differences bring ” (e.g., growth, new perspectives) “What really matters in friendship ” (e.g., respect, support, honesty) Share & Summarize: Groups present findings. Teacher writes key ideas on the board: Similarities: Shared interests, comfort, understanding. Differences: Growth, learning, balance. What Matters: Respect, trust, acceptance. Step 5: Summary & Homework (5 mins) Knowledge Recap: Summarize Matt’s and Diana’s views; highlight that both similarities and differences can strengthen friendships. Homework: Writing: Describe your best friend, focusing on 1 similarity and 1 difference, and explain why they matter. Survey: Ask 2 family members: “Do you prefer similar or different friends Why ” Share their answers in class.
Blackboard Design How do we understand differences ▍Core Question: Should friends be similar or different - **Matt’s View**: Similar (like a mirror) → Shared hobbies (sports), similar personality (serious), learn from similarity (badminton). - **Diana’s View**: Different → Learn from differences (outgoing vs. shy), respect opinions (honest friend). ▍1c Matches: 1. Matt → B 2. Stephen → A 3. Diana → E 4. Yuan Lei → D 5. Zhang Yong → C ▍1e Discussion Ideas: - Similarities: Shared interests, trust, fun. - Differences: Growth, new ideas, balance. - What Matters: Respect, support, honesty.
Teaching Reflection Strengths: Connected text to students’ personal lives (1a), increasing engagement. Layered reading tasks (skimming→scanning→analysis) built deep comprehension. Weaknesses & Improvements: Some students may struggle to articulate critical thoughts. Provide sentence frames (e.g., “I think similarities matter because...”). Time for 1e discussion may be tight. Assign pre-discussion writing to save class time.
第5课时 Section B（2a-3c）
Teaching Objectives 1. Language Competence Vocabulary: Master words (e.g., shy, outgoing, population, average, alike) and use them in 2b-2c. Reading: Understand Rose’s opinion (3a) and compare it with Matt’s/Diana’s (Section B 1b). Writing: Structure an opinion on friendship (3b-3c) with opinion → reason → example. 2. Cultural Awareness Recognize that friendship has no fixed “rule” (similar, different, or both can be good). 3. Thinking Quality Analytical Thinking: Compare Rose’s view with Matt’s/Diana’s. Logical Thinking: Organize opinions with clear reasons and examples. 4. Learning Ability Use gamification (2a) to learn vocabulary and peer feedback to improve writing.
Teaching Key Points Master vocabulary and complete 2b-2c accurately. Analyze Rose’s opinion and compare it with ot
Teaching Difficulties Using abstract vocabulary (e.g., personality, alike) correctly in context. Writing a coherent opinion with specific examples (3c)
Teaching Procedures Step 1: Warm-up & Vocabulary Game (2a, 10 mins) Word Snake Competition: Divide students into groups. Find hidden words in the snakes: shy, outgoing, lazy, serious, hard-working. Match words to meanings: shy → afraid to speak in public outgoing → friendly, likes meeting people lazy → not wanting to work serious → straightforward, not laughing much hard-working → puts effort into work Vocabulary Activation: Use gestures/examples to reinforce: “I’m shy when meeting new people.” “My friend is hard-working.” Step 2: Vocabulary in Context (2b-2c, 15 mins) 2b: Sentence Completion Context Analysis: Students fill in 2b with population, pleasant, pleasure, differences, especially, average, spare, kilometres. Answers: population (Shanghai vs. Lanzhou) pleasant (weather: white clouds, warm sun) pleasure (win brings joy) differences (respect others’ traits) especially (love strawberries most) average (height around 1.6m) spare (free time for reading) kilometres (distance from home to school) Usage Discussion: Highlight collocations: average height, spare time, differences in others. 2c: Passage Completion Text Analysis: Students fill in 2c with alike, personality, Besides, difference, novel (from The Prince and the Pauper). Answers: alike (looked similar) personality (kind nature) Besides (additional realization) difference (change as king) novel (Mark Twain’s book) Cultural Link: Mention The Prince and the Pauper to connect vocabulary to literature. Step 3: Reading & Opinion Comparison (3a, 12 mins) Pre-reading: Recall Matt’s (similar friends) and Diana’s (different friends) views. Ask: “What might Rose think ” While-reading: Students read Rose’s post and identify: Opinion: “I don’t mind if friends are similar or different.” Examples: Lily: funnier, makes her laugh. Lucy: quieter, listens well. Post-reading Comparison: Create a table to compare views: PersonView on FriendsExample SupportMattShould be similarStephen (shared sports/hobbies)DianaShould be differentYuan Lei (outgoing) + Zhang Yong (honest)RoseDoesn’t mindLily (funny) + Lucy (quiet listener)
Step 4: Opinion Writing (3b-3c, 15 mins) Opinion Framework: Teach the OPRE structure: Opinion → Reason → Example. Example: Opinion: Friends should be different. Reason: They teach me new things. Example: My friend Tom loves science; he explains stars to me. 3b: Complete the Table Students fill in their own opinions, reasons, and examples (e.g., “I don’t mind. Reason: As long as we support each other. Example: Amy is shy, but we both love art.”). 3c: Write a Reply Use the table to draft a reply to Rose. Provide a template: “I think that _______. For example, my friend _______ is _______. When _______, _______.” Peer Feedback: Exchange drafts and check for: Clear opinion, reason, and example. Correct vocabulary use. Step 5: Summary & Homework (3 mins) Summary: Recap vocabulary (2a-2c) and friendship views (3a-3c): “Friendship can be about similarity, difference, or both—what matters is support.” Homework: Revise your 3c reply based on peer feedback. Interview: Ask a friend, “Do you prefer similar or different friends Why ” Write their answer.
Blackboard Design Vocabulary & Friendship Opinions Opinion → Reason → Example “I think that _______. For example, my friend _______ is _______. When _______, _______.”
Teaching Reflection Strengths: Vocabulary is taught through games and context, enhancing retention. Opinion writing is scaffolded with OPRE structure, reducing anxiety. Weaknesses & Improvements: Abstract vocabulary (e.g., personality) may confuse students. Use more examples (e.g., “My personality is outgoing—I love parties!”). Some students may struggle to find personal examples. Provide idea prompts (e.g., hobbies, habits, personality traits).
