Blackboard design
Reflection As the first section of this unit, the key point is to make students understand the theme, important content and difficulties of this unit as soon as possible through teaching work. In view of students' weak English foundation, it is necessary to add appropriate simple sentence pattern drills in the first class. Therefore, in the teaching process of the whole class, the design tasks are all around Where sentence patterns. The purpose is to enable students to master basic expressions and key words and phrases, so as to prepare for the successful completion of tasks in the next three classes. This class mainly practices students' listening and speaking ability, and the task design is also based on listening and speaking. The task can be close to students' lives, attract their interest, and finally make the necessary summary. The whole course design is complete, the atmosphere is active, and students' mastery of basic knowledge is emphasized at the same time. There are many tasks that students are required to speak and practice in the teaching process. On the one hand, it is to consolidate the important contents that students have learned in the first class, and it is significant to hope that students can achieve a sensory understanding of the contents of this chapter according to a series of classroom activities, so that they can truly understand what they have learned.
