教学过程
教学环节 学习活动（包含设计意图）
Lead - in (5 minutes) Activity: Show some pictures of daily electrical appliances, like TVs, refrigerators, and lights. Then ask students some questions, such as “What are these ”, “Can you live without them ”, “Where does the electricity for these appliances come from ” Design Intent: Arouse students' interest in the topic of electricity and activate their prior knowledge related to electricity. At the same time, create a relaxed English - speaking atmosphere for students to get them ready for the following learning.
Knowledge Presentation (10 minutes) Vocabulary Introduction: Present some key words and phrases related to the listening content on the PPT, such as “electricity”, “invent”, “discover”, “generate”, “rub...against...”, “be popular”, “make good use of”. Explain the meanings and usages of these words and phrases through examples. For example, “Thomas Edison invented the light bulb.”, “Electricity is generated in power stations.” Prediction: Let students look at the pictures and the title of the podcast “Interesting facts about electricity” in the textbook. Then ask them to predict what the podcast may talk about. Guide them to think from aspects like the discovery of electricity, the use of electricity, and the problems related to electricity. Design Intent: Help students build a vocabulary foundation for listening, which can reduce their difficulties in understanding the listening content. Prediction can make students more focused during listening and also train their thinking ability.
Practice (15 minutes) First Listening: Play the podcast for the first time. Ask students to listen carefully and answer the general question: “What are the main topics mentioned in the podcast ” Design Intent: Let students get a general understanding of the listening material, train their ability to grasp the main idea, and at the same time, familiarize themselves with the overall context and intonation of the material. Second Listening: Play the podcast again. This time, ask students to listen carefully and complete the notes in the textbook. The notes may include information about the discovery of electricity (who, when), the speed of electricity, the invention time of the first electric car, and the situation of electricity waste. Design Intent: Train students' ability to capture specific information, such as time, people, and key pleting the notes can also help students better organize and remember the information they have heard. Check the Answers: Invite several students to share their answers. Then play the relevant parts of the podcast again if necessary to clarify any misunderstandings.

Re - playing the relevant parts can help students review and deepen their understanding of the content.
Production (10 minutes) Group Discussion: Divide students into groups of four. Give each group a discussion topic, such as “Why is electricity so important in our daily life ”, “What are the common ways of wasting electricity in our daily life ”, or “How can we save electricity in our homes ”. Let students discuss in groups for about 5 minutes, and then each group selects a representative to share their discussion results with the whole class. Design Intent: Promote students' communication and cooperation skills. Through discussion, students can further understand the importance of electricity and the significance of saving electricity, and at the same time, improve their oral English expression ability by using the learned language knowledge. Role - play: Set up a role - play situation. Suppose some students are power company workers, and some are ordinary citizens. The power company workers are promoting electricity - saving knowledge, and the citizens are asking questions. Let students make up dialogues according to this situation and perform in class. Design Intent: Create a real - life - like context for students to use English. Role - play can not only consolidate students' understanding of electricity - related knowledge but also improve their ability to use language in practical situations.
Summary and Homework (5 minutes) Summary: Summarize the key points of this lesson with students, including important vocabulary, the main content of the podcast, and the importance of saving electricity. Emphasize the key knowledge and listening skills again.
