教学内容
教学重点： 1. 词形变化，通过添加后缀改变词性和词义
2. 同一个词不同词性的不同意义和用法
教学难点： 1. 在语境中运用正确的词、词性及词形
教学过程
Outline: Step 1: Go through the keys words while reviewing the reading text, and expose students with different forms of words at the same time. Step 2: Explain Exercise 1 and 2 on Book P40. Step 3: Summarize what has been learnt through practicing. 【总体思路】：基于英语学习活动观和“扶放”的理念，通过问题链的方式使学生在主题语境下学习重点词汇，并在教师示证下思考如何使用不同词性来进行回答。在掌握词汇动词好名词的不同用法和不同词形的同时，提升表达能力，并通过练习加深对肢体语言的理解和构词法的认知，最终实现教学目标。 Process in details: Step 1: In this step, students will be asked four questions and finish one exercise based on what has been reviewed. 1. How do we express our thoughts and opinions Possible answer: We use both words and body language to express our thoughts and opinions in our interactions with other people. In other words: We rely on both words and body language to express our thoughts and opinions when interacting with other people. In other words: Neither words nor body language is reliable enough in interaction. 【设计意图】通过回答本问题，回顾课文内容，并回顾关键词interaction的用法。通过同义词替换和用不同词性替换，回顾关键词组rely on以及interaction的动词用法。并通过词性变化，促使学生继续思考rely的形容词形式，以提升学生对词形变化的敏锐度。 2. Is body language same in each culture Possible answer: No. It varies from culture to culture. In other words: There is variation in body language across different cultures. 【设计意图】通过回答本问题，回顾课文内容，并回顾关键词vary的用法。通过进一步提问，促使学生思考vary的名词形式。同时，通过对不同词形进行不同颜色的标记，以及对词组已经下划线标记，给学生提供足够的支架，使学生能够更为顺利地完成课本40页第一题的内容。 3. What gestures mean differently Possible answer: Gesture for “ok” and gestures for “yes” and “no” mean differently. In other words: They have different meanings. In other words: They differ around the world. Additional question: What is the difference in the meanings of in different countries Possible answer: It can mean money in Japan, zero in France, showing no offence. By contrast, it is considered impolite in Brazil and Germany. In other words: Brazilians and Germans do not approve of this gesture. Therefore, we should not use it in Brazil and Germany to avoid embarrassment. 【设计意图】通过问题链，帮助学生在回顾课文内容的同时，复习重点单词及词组的用法，包括by contrast, approve of以及differ的不同词形和embarrassed的名词形式。 4. Does body language display identical feelings all the time？ Possible answer: No. Some body language displays various meanings, for instance, smiling. A smile can demonstrate that: we are embarrassed; we need help; we want to apologise; we would like to greet someone; we want to break down the barriers between each other. 【设计意图】通过对课文最后一部分提问，在帮助学生回忆课文内容和相关文化内涵的同时，复习重点单词demonstrate和词组break down，并复现vary的词形变化，以及embarrass的形容词形式。 Exercise: We rely on both words and body language to interact with other people. Body language varies from culture to culture and there are different types of body language, but not all gestures are approved of everywhere, which means some gestures may cause embarrassment. 【设计意图】通过填空练习，在回顾课文概要的同时，完成对已复习单词的再运用。 Step 2: in this step, students will go through two “did you notice ” parts and finish exercise 1 and 2 on book P40. Answers will be checked and noun variations of “vary” will be explained in details. 【设计意图】通过提示学生注意我们在前面回答问题过程中回顾的词及词形变化以及不同颜色标志的词形，提升学生对后缀改变词形和词义的认知，并借助词典完成书40页的第一题。通过本单元课文和第三单元课文中“display”不同词性的用法的回顾，使学生考虑40页第二题每句话中同一个词不同词性的意义区别。总体实现学生对构词法中词性、词形两部分认知的提升。 Step 3: A comprehensive practice for students to summarize and check what has been learnt. Practice: Body language plays a crucial role in our interaction with others, often conveying emotions and intentions more effectively than words. For instance, a person’s frown might display discomfort or disapproval, signaling a lack of agreement. In social settings, people find non-verbal clues reliable for producing reactions and make variations in their responses accordingly. A blush on someone’s face can indicate embarrassment. Conversely, A relaxed posture may suggest confidence and approval. Individuals who rest their hands calmly during a conversation usually appear more trustworthy and open. 【设计意图】通过填空的方式帮助学生复习和运用本节课所学，加强学生的输出能力，练习词汇学习的策略。 Homework： 1.

For instance, a person’s frown might display discomfort or disapproval, signaling a lack of agreement.

A blush on someone’s face can indicate embarrassment. Conversely, A relaxed posture may suggest confidence and approval. Individuals who rest their hands calmly during a conversation usually appear more trustworthy and open.
