Unit 3 Keep Fit
Section 5 Project
Content analysis
This section consists of a student-centered project activity, with the core focus on comparing the exercise habits of different individuals. The activity is carried out in the following steps: First, students are divided into groups of 4 to 5 members. Within each group, students interview one another about their favorite sports or exercise methods, and fill the collected information into a table. The survey revolves around three key questions: 1. What sport or exercise do you do most often 2. Why do you like it 3. How often do you do it
Subsequently, group members collaborate to complete a short project report for their group and present it to the rest of the class. Students from other groups are required to record valid information during the presentations. Finally, by comparing the reports of all groups, the most popular sport or exercise method among the whole class is identified, and the reasons for its popularity are summarized.
By participating in the project-based activity “Compare Exercise Habits”, students can understand the most popular sports among teenagers and the reasons for their popularity, and group surveys on teenagers’ sports frequency trigger students to reflect on their own exercise habits and time management ability; meanwhile, in real scenarios, students can flexibly use the unit-learned sentence patterns (such as “How often do you ...”) to ask about and respond to exercise-related information, and group activities also provide opportunities for peer communication, helping students connect with classmates who share similar sports interests.
This project-based learning activity consists of four key steps: group members interview one another to collect information, which is then recorded in a table; the group summarizes and organizes the information into a report; each group delivers presentations, conducts communications and makes cross-group comparisons; finally, the group engages in reflections and formulates relevant plans. Conducted entirely in groups, this activity effectively exercises students’ ability to actively communicate and share ideas using the target language.
