Section A What happens during a natural disaster
第一课时(1a-2d)
Study of the Text                         
What: This is the first lesson of Unit 5, the listening and speaking lesson. 1a asks students to match disaster-related vocabulary with corresponding pictures. 1b-1c present the disasters people face through three dialogues and describe the activities the people were engaged in when the disasters happened. 1d requires students to ask and answer questions based on the listening material. 2a lets students judge true or false to learn about typhoons. 2b-2c tell about the activities of different people during typhoons and the impacts of the disaster. 2d provides a role-play framework of a dialogue between a reporter and someone who has experienced a typhoon, allowing students to use what they have learned to communicate about their experiences during the disaster.
Why: These activities help students master the usage of the past continuous tense, accumulate vocabulary related to natural disasters and daily activities, and improve language skills such as capturing key information, asking and answering questions, and judging true or false. They also enable students to understand the characteristics and impacts of different natural disasters, enhance disaster prevention awareness, and arouse attention to safety knowledge and natural phenomena.
How: In terms of content structure, the basic cognition in 1a and the listening comprehension in 1b-1c lay the foundation for 2a-2c, enabling students to learn about typhoons and understand the interview and the weather forecast. The role-play in 2d allows students to comprehensively apply what they learned. There are various text types like dialogues, statement judgment and weather forecasts, which are close to real life, and all use the past continuous tense as the core grammatical point. Vocabulary focuses on presenting nouns related to natural disasters and verb phrases related to daily activities, which can help students meet the communicative needs of “communicating disaster experiences and conveying safety information”.
Learning Objectives                         
By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:
1.listen and know about people's activities during natural disasters;
2.talk about personal activities and experiences during natural disasters;
3.use relevant expressions, act out dialogues in roles, and talk about experiences at the time of the typhoon.

第二课时(3a-3d)
Study of the Text                         
What: In the dialogue 3a, Haitao and Lisa talk about their experiences when a typhoon hit. In 3b, students are required to identify who had the different experiences listed in the table. 3c asks students to listen to the conversation and role-play it. As for 3d, students need to imagine Haitao or Lisa is their friend and create new dialogues using the knowledge they have learned.
Why: The dialogue in 3a helps students review what they have learned while enhancing their awareness of natural disaster prevention. The reading exercise in 3b improves students' ability to find information accurately. The activity in 3c strengthens students' listening and speaking skills, as well as boosts their language sense and pronunciation accuracy. All the above activities lay the groundwork for the integrated practice in 3d, where students are able to comprehensively apply their knowledge to conduct dialogues in real-life scenes.
How: The text is a dialogue between Haitao and Lisa, narrated in the first person. Sentences like “We were driving home…” and “Luckily, we covered our windows…” vividly describe the actions and feelings of their families during and before the typhoon. Additionally, the text uses descriptive words and phrases such as “awful” “strong winds” and “raining hard”, which make the scene more vivid.
Learning Objectives                         
By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:
1.talk about personal experiences in the past continuous tense;
2.use relevant expression methods to role-play with their partners about the experience with the typhoon based on the dialogue content.

第三课时(Grammar Focus)
Study of the Text                         
What: 4a requires students to identify verbs which show an ongoing action in the past and perceive the form of the past continuous tense. 4b requires students to combine sentences using “when” or “while”. 4c requires students to complete a passage with “was” “were” “when” or “while”, integrating the use of the past continuous tense and conjunctions in context. 4d asks students to simulate a reporter's interview, applying the past continuous tense in a communicative scenario through dialogue to describe “what they were doing before and after the tornado occurred”.
Why: The progressive exercises of “identification-combination-text filling-communicative dialogue” improve students' language skills in accurately applying the past continuous tense and conjunctions in different contexts, integrate grammar learning with real-life scenes, and enhance the practicality of language application.
How: The activities follow the logic of language learning and the exercises progress step by step. The contextual materials are set against the background of the weather and natural disasters, describing actions that were in progress at a specific moment or period in the past. The scenes are close to real life, facilitating students' understanding of semantic functions.
Learning Objectives                         
By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:
1.recognize the structure of the past continuous tense (“was/were+doing”);
2.use the tense to describe actions in progress at a specific past time;
3.apply the past continuous tense to talk about past events during natural disasters.
Teaching Process                         
Learning Objectives Teaching Activities Effectiveness Evaluation
1.To recognize the structure of the past continuous tense (“was/were+doing”). Step 1 Lead-in 1.Greetings. 2.Look and discuss about the pictures.(详见课件资源) Simple Past Tense vs Past Continuous Tense 3.Find the rule. The past continuous tense is used to describe actions or states that were in progress at a specific past time or when a past event happened. 4.Find the structure: was/were+doing. Observe the students' summary to under-stand their primary mastery of the past continuous tense.
Purpose To lead into the past continuous tense.To guide students to perceive its usage and identify its rules and structure.
2.To use the tense to describe actions in progress at a specific past time. Step 2 Work on 4a Read the sentences. Underline the verbs which show an ongoing action in the past. Step 3 Work on 4b Combine each pair of sentences using when or while. ◎Key: 1.I was doing my homework when the typhoon landed on the coast. 2.When the power went out, my father and I were making dinner./My father and I were making dinner when the power went out. 3.Kate was writing a letter when her brother called to warn her of the storm. 4.While my parents were packing the supplies, I was moving our things off the floor. 5.I was sleeping soundly while it was raining cats and dogs. Step 4 Work on 4c Complete the passage with was, were, when, or while. ◎Key: was; While; were; When; were Observe two key aspects of students' performance: first, whether they can correctly determine which action is “ongoing” and which is “short/triggering”; second, whether they can properly choose “when” or “while” based on the logical relationship between the two actions.
Purpose Through underlining verbs, combining sentences and filling in blanks, to consolidate the recognition and application of the past continuous tense and correctly use “when” or “while”.
3.To apply the past continuous tense to talk about past events during natural disasters. Step 5 Work on 4d 1.Imagine that you are a reporter.

语法探究                         
Step 1 观察及探究
过去进行时的用法
【观察】
What were you doing while it was snowing heavily 下大雪的时候,你正在做什么
What were your family doing when the typhoon hit 台风来袭时,你的家人正在做什么
When my neighbour called, my family were having dinner.
当我的邻居打来电话时,我们一家人正在吃晚饭。
We were driving home when the strong winds started.我们正开车回家,突然刮起了大风。
It was raining hard while we were driving back.我们开车回去时,雨下得很大。
【探究】
过去进行时的结构是“was/were+现在分词”,表示过去某一时刻或某一段时间正在进行的动作,常与 at that time, when, while 等引导的时间状语(从句)连用。
描述两个过去同时进行的动作时,常用 “while+过去进行时”(主句和从句均为过去进行时)。
描述“一个动作正在进行时,另一个动作突然发生”时,常用 “when+一般过去时”(突然动作用一般过去时,持续动作用过去进行时),或 “while+过去进行时”(持续动作用 while 引导的过去进行时,突然动作用一般过去时)。
语法巧记口诀
过去进行时,was/were 加 doing, 过去某时正进行,when/while 常伴行。 while 强调 “同时做”,从句多用进行时; when 可表 “突然发”,从句长短都能行。
