I. Teaching Background Analysis Textbook Analysis This unit focuses on “travel”. Topic 2 centers on travel experiences and encounters. Section D, as the summary and extension part of this topic, aims to comprehensively apply the previously learned knowledge through reading, writing, oral communication and other activities. It deepens students’ understanding of the travel topic, enhances their comprehensive language application ability, and cultivates their cross-cultural communication awareness and autonomous learning ability. The textbook content covers travel stories, travel suggestions, discussions on cultural differences, etc., which is highly practical and expansive. Student Analysis Grade 8 students have shown a strong interest in the travel topic. After previous learning, they have accumulated a certain amount of travel-related vocabulary, phrases and sentence patterns, and initially possess the ability to describe travel experiences and make travel plans in English. However, in terms of language accuracy and fluency, especially in the application of English in complex situations, as well as the understanding and integration of different cultural background knowledge, further intensive training is still needed. The efficiency and quality of group cooperative learning vary, and some students lack initiative in teamwork. II. Teaching Objectives Knowledge and Skills Objectives Students will be able to master the key vocabulary in Section D proficiently, such as “receive”, “safety”, “whenever”, “as soon as”, accurately grasping their meanings, parts of speech, usages and collocations, and applying them flexibly in speaking and writing. They will deeply understand and skillfully use key phrases and sentence patterns, such as “be busy doing sth.”, “keep in touch with”, “as long as”, and express accurately according to different contexts, enhancing the richness and precision of language expression. They will be able to read articles related to travel experiences and suggestions fluently, quickly extract the main ideas, and accurately capture detailed information, such as the author’s travel insights, problems encountered and solutions, and differences in travel customs around the world, and complete corresponding reading comprehension tasks. They will be able to write clear-structured, content-rich and grammatically correct travel essays based on given topics or situations and their own experiences, including introductions to travel destinations, highlights of the journey, personal feelings, etc., with no less than 100 words, while avoiding common grammatical errors. Through group discussions, role-playing and other activities, they will be able to communicate and share travel stories and explore cultural differences in travel freely in English, improving the fluency, logic and interactivity of oral expression, and achieving natural intonation. Process and Method Objectives By using the situational teaching method, create realistic situations such as travel sharing sessions and cross-border travel exchanges, bringing students into real language application scenarios, stimulating their learning enthusiasm, and prompting them to actively communicate in English in the situations, enhancing their language practice ability. Adopt task-based teaching, assign preview tasks, in-class group cooperative tasks, after-class extension tasks, etc., guiding students to explore and learn independently, such as independently looking up information about travel taboos in different countries, cultivating students’ autonomous learning habits and information collection and processing abilities. Organize group cooperative learning, carry out group discussions, data collation, result presentations and other activities, promoting the collision of ideas and collaborative assistance among students, cultivating team spirit, improving students’ ability to solve problems comprehensively using knowledge, and enhancing the efficiency of cooperative learning. With the help of mind maps, information tables and other tools, help students sort out the text structure, key points of travel plans and other information, cultivating students’ inductive and logical thinking abilities, guiding students to organize complex information systematically, and facilitating knowledge absorption and application. Emotional Attitudes and Values Objectives Further stimulate students’ love for travel, encourage them to cherish the dream of exploring the diverse world and experiencing rich cultures, broaden their international perspectives, and cultivate an inclusive and open cross-cultural communication mindset.

VI. Teaching Process Lead-in (5 minutes) Greeting and Warm-up Interaction The teacher walks into the classroom with a smile and greets the students kindly: “Good morning / afternoon, dear students! How are you feeling today Let’s start our new journey of English learning with a big smile.” Create a relaxed and pleasant classroom atmosphere and shorten the distance between teachers and students. Conduct a simple English game “Travel Word Chain”. The teacher says a travel-related word, such as “plane”, and the students take turns to say related words, such as “airport”, “ticket”, “luggage”, etc. Students who make mistakes or pause for more than 3 seconds will perform a simple travel-related short program, such as imitating a tour guide welcoming tourists, to stimulate students’ interest and activate the learned vocabulary. Topic Introduction Play a 2-minute montage video of amazing travel destinations around the world, covering scenes such as mountains, seas, ancient castles, and modern cities, accompanied by exciting and cheerful music. Then ask: “Boys and girls, after watching this amazing video, which place do you most want to visit Why ” Guide the students to speak actively, share their dream travel destinations and reasons, and smoothly introduce the theme of this lesson - to explore the diverse experiences in travel in depth and start the learning journey of Section D. Knowledge Review and Presentation (15 minutes) Vocabulary Review and Expansion Use word cards to quickly flash and review the key vocabulary from the previous lesson, such as “journey”, “hotel”, “guide”, etc. Let the students quickly say the meanings, parts of speech and simple usages to strengthen their memory. Combine the travel scene pictures shown in the multimedia courseware to introduce new words in Section D: Show a warm scene of a traveler receiving a letter or postcard from family, and teach “receive”. Emphasize the pronunciation and spelling, and give an example: “I received a postcard from my friend when I was traveling in Paris.” Ask the students to imitate and make sentences to describe their experiences of receiving gifts, messages, etc. Present pictures of safety signs and tourists wearing safety helmets during the trip to explain “safety”, and expand its adjective form “pare the usages: “We should pay attention to safety during the trip. The hotel we live in is very safe.” Guide the students to make sentences with “safety” and “safe” respectively to deepen their understanding. In the context of a traveler taking photos and recording moods at any time, teach “whenever”, such as: “Whenever I see a beautiful view, I will take a photo.” Organize a group competition. The teacher gives situations, and the groups compete to make sentences with “whenever” to stimulate competitive awareness and consolidate vocabulary application. Combine the scene of a traveler contacting local friends as soon as they arrive at the destination to explain “as soon as”, and give an example: “As soon as I arrived at the airport, I called my friend.” Let the students do sentence transformation exercises, rewriting general narrative sentences into sentences with “as soon as” to master its usage. Phrase and Sentence Pattern Teaching The teacher shows carefully designed examples through PPT and explains key phrases and sentence patterns in combination with travel stories: When teaching “be busy doing sth.”, show pictures of travelers busy packing luggage, booking hotels, planning trips, etc., and give an example: “My parents were busy preparing for our trip last week.” Invite students to share their or their family’s experiences of being busy doing something and describe them using this sentence pattern to improve oral expression. For “keep in touch with”, show scenes of travelers keeping in touch with distant friends and family by phone, email, etc., and explain: “We should keep in touch with our relatives when we are away from home.” Set up a situational dialogue task. Let the students work in pairs to simulate a conversation with family members during the trip, using this phrase. The teacher patrols and guides, correcting pronunciation and grammar errors. Explain “as long as”, and give an example: “As long as you have a map, you won’t get lost.” Let the students make logical inference sentences using this sentence pattern, such as “As long as you study hard, you will get good grades.” to cultivate students’ logical thinking and language application abilities. Reading Training (10 minutes) Pre-reading Guidance Show the title and pictures of an article introducing a unique travel experience in a foreign country, such as a story of a traveler participating in a traditional festival celebration in India, and ask: “Look at the title and the pictures. What do you think this article will tell us What kind of challenges or surprises might the traveler face ” Guide the students to predict the content of the article, activate their reading thinking, and cultivate their analytical and reasoning abilities. Introduce the reading task: “Now, read the article carefully. After reading, you need to answer some questions about the traveler’s experiences, feelings and the cultural differences he encountered. You can mark the key points while reading.” Let the students know the reading goals and read with tasks. While-reading Guidance The students read the article independently. The teacher patrols, observes the students’ reading situations, and reminds them to mark new words first and try to guess the meanings through the context, or try to infer according to root and affix knowledge. For example, for an unknown name of Indian traditional clothing that appears in the text, the approximate meaning can be inferred by combining the picture and the text description of its color and style. After the students finish reading, distribute reading question cards and let them answer the questions independently. The questions cover various types such as the main idea of the article, detailed information, the author’s emotional attitude, and understanding of cultural differences, such as: “What’s the main idea of this article ” “What was the most difficult thing for the traveler to adapt to in India ” “How did the traveler feel about the local people’s hospitality ” Guide the students to understand the article in depth. Post-reading Communication Organize the students to discuss the answers in groups, encourage them to express different opinions and exchange reading experiences, such as: “I was really surprised by the way they celebrated the festival. It was so different from ours.” “I think the traveler was very brave to try new things.” Promote the collision of students’ thinking and deepen their understanding of the article. Each group selects a representative to report the answers. The teacher comments, emphasizes the key vocabulary, phrases and sentence patterns in the article again, and at the same time guides the students to summarize reading skills, such as how to quickly locate key information, how to guess the meaning of words according to the context, and how to analyze the author’s emotional attitude, to improve reading ability. Writing Instruction (5 minutes) Model Essay Appreciation The teacher shows an excellent model essay of travel experience writing through PPT, such as a student sharing a seven-day trip in Yunnan. The model essay covers the overview of the travel destination, highlights of the daily itinerary, personal feelings and gains, etc., with beautiful language and clear structure. Guide the students to read the model essay and think: “What do you like about this composition What words and phrases make it vivid and interesting ” Let the students analyze the advantages of the model essay and learn writing techniques. Writing Key Points Explanation Combine the model essay, and the teacher explains the writing key points: Introduction: Briefly introduce the travel destination to arouse readers’ interest. You can use some descriptive sentences, such as “Yunnan, known as the ‘Land of Eternal Spring’, is a dream destination full of natural wonders.” Body: Describe the travel itinerary in detail according to the time sequence or importance, using the learned vocabulary, phrases and sentence patterns to highlight the highlights, such as “I was really excited when I visited the Stone Forest. The unique limestone formations were like a maze, and I spent hours exploring them.” Pay attention to the use of conjunctions to make the writing coherent, such as “First, then, next, finally”. Conclusion: Summarize the travel feelings and share personal gains or growth, such as “Through this trip, I not only broadened my horizons but also learned to appreciate different cultures. It was truly an unforgettable experience.” Writing Task Assignment Assign the writing task: “Now, it’s your turn to write about one of your most memorable travel experiences. You can choose any place you’ve been to. Remember to include the destination, the details of your journey and your feelings. Use the knowledge we learned today.” Let the students know the writing requirements and start to conceive and write. Group Cooperative Exploration (5 minutes) Task Assignment The teacher divides the students into groups of 4 - 6 people and distributes group task cards. The task is: “Create a travel guide for a foreign friend who wants to visit your hometown. You need to include the must-see attractions, local cuisine, transportation tips and cultural taboos. Use English and make it as detailed and helpful as possible.” Clearly define the group tasks and requirements, emphasizing practicality and accuracy. Provide each group with some hometown tourism promotional materials, food pictures, traffic maps, etc. to assist the students in completing the task and broaden their design ideas. Group Collaboration The students work in groups to carry out lively discussions around the task, divide the work and cooperate. Some are responsible for collecting and sorting out attraction information, some study food specialties, some draw simple traffic maps, and some look up cultural taboo materials. The teacher patrols each group, participates in group discussions, and gives guidance and suggestions at the right time, such as: “You can add some personal stories about the attractions to make it more interesting.” “Don’t forget to mention the best time to visit.” Encourage students to be creative and design unique and useful travel guides. Result Presentation Each group selects a representative to use self-made PPT or hand-drawn posters to present the group-designed travel guide to the whole class, and requires a detailed introduction in English. Other group members can add explanations. The teacher organizes the whole class to evaluate, scoring from aspects such as the completeness, accuracy, creativity and fluency of English expression of the guide, and selects the best travel guide group, giving praise and rewards to enhance students’ sense of achievement and self-confidence.
