教学过程
教学环节 学习活动（包含设计意图）
Lead - in (5 minutes) Greet the students as usual. Show some pictures about water, such as a glass of water, a river, a bottle of water, etc. on the screen. Then ask students some simple questions related to water, like “What can you see in the picture ” “Do you know how important water is in our life ” Design Intent: This part aims to arouse students' interest in the topic of water, which is closely related to the unit theme. It also helps to create a relaxed classroom atmosphere and lead students into the learning state quickly.
Knowledge Presentation (10 minutes) Present some sentences on the screen, such as “I have two apples.” “There is some water in the bottle.” “He bought a lot of books.” Ask students to observe these sentences and think about how the quantity of the things is expressed. Then divide students into pairs to discuss the differences in the way of expressing quantity for different nouns. Design Intent: By observing and discussing, students can have a preliminary perception of the grammar content to be learned in this class, that is, the expression of quantity for countable and uncountable nouns. This can stimulate students' curiosity and initiative in learning, and lay a foundation for the following in - depth learning of grammar rules.
Practice (15 minutes) Explain countable nouns and uncountable nouns Use flashcards to show some common nouns, like “book”, “pen”, “water”, “milk”. Ask students to classify them into two groups: countable nouns and uncountable nouns. Then explain the concept of countable nouns (nouns that can be counted, with singular and plural forms) and uncountable nouns (nouns that cannot be counted directly, usually without plural forms) in simple English. Give more examples for students to practice classifying nouns, and correct their mistakes in time. Design Intent: Through hands - on classification activities, students can have a more intuitive understanding of countable and uncountable nouns, which is beneficial for them to better master this basic grammar knowledge. Introduce quantity words Show the following quantity words on the screen: “a few”, “many”, “a little”, “much”, “a lot of”, “too many”, “too much”. Explain the usage of these quantity words with countable and uncountable nouns. For example, “a few” and “many” are used with countable nouns, while “a little” and “much” are used with uncountable nouns. “A lot of” can be used with both countable and uncountable nouns. “Too many” is for countable nouns, and “too much” is for uncountable nouns. Provide some example sentences, such as “There are a few students in the classroom.” “I have many books.” “There is a little milk in the cup.” “He has much homework to do.” “She has a lot of friends.” “There are too many people in the park.” “He drinks too much water.” Let students read and understand these sentences. Design Intent: Systematically introducing quantity words and their usage rules can help students build a clear grammar framework in their minds, and the example sentences can help them better understand how to use these words in context.
Production (10 minutes) Activity 1: Grammar Exercises on Handouts Distribute the handouts with grammar exercises to students. The exercises include tasks like classifying nouns, choosing the correct quantity words to fill in the blanks, and making sentences with given nouns and quantity words. Let students do the exercises individually first. Then, ask them to check their answers with their partners. Finally, go through the answers together as a class, explaining the reasons for each answer. Design Intent: Individual exercises can help students consolidate the grammar knowledge they have just learned. Pair - checking can encourage students to communicate with each other, and the whole - class review can ensure that students master the correct answers and understand the relevant grammar points thoroughly. Activity 2: Group Discussion Divide students into groups of four. Present a situation to each group: Suppose you are going on a picnic, and you need to prepare some food and drinks. Discuss in your group how much food and how many drinks you should bring. Use the quantity words you have learned. Each group should make a list of the things they plan to bring and how much/many of each item. One student in each group is responsible for recording the discussion results. After the discussion, ask some groups to report their discussion results to the whole class. Design Intent: Group discussion can provide students with a real - life - like communication situation to practice using grammar knowledge. It can also train students' cooperative learning ability and their ability to express their ideas in English.
Summary and Homework (5 minutes) Summary Summarize the key points of this class with students, including the difference between countable and uncountable nouns, and the usage of quantity words. Ask students to recall the grammar rules and examples they have learned. Design Intent: Summarizing can help students review and consolidate the important knowledge of this class, and make the learned content more systematic in their minds. Homework Ask students to make a survey at home. They need to find out how much water their families use in a day, and also list how many water - using appliances (such as washing machines, water heaters) they have at home. Then write a short report about their survey results, using the grammar knowledge learned in this class. Design Intent: The homework can not only let students further practice using grammar knowledge in real - life situations but also make them more aware of the importance of water conservation, which is in line with the theme of the unit.
