五、教学过程
Step 1: Warm-up

2. Show pictures of various famous people on the board or using visual aids and ask students to name them. Prompt them to share what they know about these people. Engage in a brief discussion about their achievements and contributions.
Example dialogue:
Teacher: Good morning, class! I hope you're all doing well today. Let's start our lesson with a warm-up activity. Can you tell me the names of any famous people you know
Student 1: I know Michael Jordan, the basketball player!
Student 2: Taylor Swift, the singer!
Teacher: Great! Now, let's take a look at some pictures. Who can name the person in this picture (Shows a picture of Albert Einstein)

Teacher: Excellent! What about this person (Shows a picture of Leonardo da Vinci)
Student 4: That's Leonardo da Vinci! He was a famous artist and inventor during the Renaissance period.
Step 2: Pre-reading
1. Introduce the story of Helen Keller and ask students if they have heard about her before. Provide some background information about her life and achievements.
2. Show pictures of Helen Keller and ask students to describe her appearance. Encourage them to use adjectives to describe how she looked.
3. Ask students to predict what challenges Helen Keller might have faced in her life. Write their predictions on the board for reference.
Example dialogue:
Teacher: Today, we will learn about an extraordinary person named Helen Keller. Have any of you heard about her before
Student 5: I think I've heard her name before, but I'm not sure who she is.
Teacher: That's okay! Helen Keller was a remarkable woman who overcame tremendous challenges in her life. She was both deaf and blind, but she didn't let that stop her from achieving great things. Let's take a look at some pictures of Helen Keller. How would you describe her appearance
Student 6: She had curly hair and wore glasses.
Student 7: I think she had a determined and confident expression on her face.
Teacher: Well described! Now, let's think about the challenges Helen Keller might have faced in her life. What do you think it would be like to be deaf and blind
Step 3: Reading and Listening
1. Read the story of Helen Keller aloud to the students, using appropriate gestures and expressions to make it engaging and comprehensible.
2. Play an audio recording of the story for the students to listen to, enhancing their listening skills and auditory comprehension.
3. Ask comprehension questions to check their understanding of the story, encouraging them to think critically and recall important details.
Example dialogue:
Teacher: Now, I will read the story of Helen Keller to you. (Reads the story aloud with appropriate gestures and expressions)
[...]
Teacher: Now, let's listen to an audio recording of the story to reinforce our understanding. (Plays the audio recording)
[...]
Teacher: Great job listening! Now, let's see how well you understood the story. Who can tell me one challenge that Helen Keller faced in her life
Step 4: Vocabulary and Sentence Practice
1. Introduce and explain the new vocabulary words: bomb, became, letter, spell, herself, all over, live, role model. Provide definitions, examples, and visual aids to help students understand the meanings of the words.
2. Practice pronouncing and using the words in sentences. Encourage students to create their own sentences using the new vocabulary.
Example dialogue:
Teacher: In the story, we came across some new words. Let's learn them together. The first word is "bomb." A bomb is a dangerous explosive device. For example, "The soldiers defused the bomb before it could explode." Now, who can give me an example sentence using the word "bomb"
Student 8: I heard a loud noise, and then there was a bomb explosion in the distance.
Teacher: Well done! Now, let's move on to the next word, "became." "Became" is the past tense of the verb "become." It means to start being something. For instance, "She became a doctor after years of studying." Can someone use "became" in a sentence
Step 5: Grammar Focus
1. Introduce the concept of the past tense and explain that we use the past tense to talk about actions that happened in the past.
2. Give examples of sentences using the past tense to describe Helen Keller's life.
3. Have students practice forming sentences in the past tense to describe other people's lives, using the provided sentence frames or prompts.
Example dialogue:
Teacher: Today,we're going to focus on the past tense. The past tense is used when we talk about things that happened in the past. For example, instead of saying "Helen Keller is deaf and blind," we would say "Helen Keller was deaf and blind." Can you think of a sentence using the past tense to describe Helen Keller's life
Student 9: Helen Keller learned how to communicate through sign language and Braille.
Teacher: Excellent! That's a great example using the past tense. Now, let's practice using the past tense to describe other people's plete the sentence frame: "When he/she was young, _______." For example, "When he was young, Albert Einstein showed a great interest in science."
Step 6: Speaking Activity
1. Divide the students into pairs or small groups.
2. Assign each group a famous person and ask them to discuss and describe the person's life using the past tense.
3. Encourage students to ask questions and engage in a conversation about the person's achievements and challenges, using the past tense appropriately.
Example dialogue:
Teacher: Now, I want you to work in pairs or small groups. Each group will be assigned a famous person. You will discuss and describe that person's life using the past tense. Remember to ask questions and have a conversation. Let's get started!
[Students discuss and describe the assigned famous person using the past tense]
Step 7: Writing Activity
1. Ask students to choose a famous person they admire and write a short paragraph about that person's life using the past tense.
2. Provide a writing template or sentence frames to support students in organizing their thoughts and using the past tense accurately.
Example dialogue:
Teacher: It's time for our writing activity. I want you to choose a famous person you admire. Write a short paragraph about that person's life using the past tense. You can use the writing template provided or create your own sentences. Remember to include important details and use the past tense correctly.
