教学目标 Language Proficiency: Practice discussing and writing about how a teacher or mentor has influenced their lives, using appropriate vocabulary and sentence structures. 2. Critical Thinking and Communication: Analyze the impact of education and mentorship on personal development by evaluating the story of Hao Tongxin and his teacher. 3. Cultural Awareness: Develop empathy by understanding the challenges faced by students in different social-economic contexts, such as those in rural areas. 4. Learning Strategies: Practice using the simple present and simple past tenses correctly by rewriting sentences and filling in blanks with appropriate verb forms. Learn and use phrases such as "drop out of," "in the future," "give up," and "make a difference" in meaningful contexts. Collaboration and Interaction: Engage in pair or group discussions to share personal stories about influential figures in their lives, enhancing their collaborative and interactive skills.
重点 Master phrases such as drop out of, make a difference, give up, in the future and apply them contextually in sentences and discussions. Expressing Personal Experiences: Articulate how someone (e.g., a teacher, parent, or friend) has made a difference in their lives, using structured language and emotional expression.
难点 Students may confuse the simple present (e.g., She often visits...) and simple past (e.g., Last year, I wanted...) when describing habitual actions versus past events. Grasping the phrase "make a difference" and relating it to real-life scenarios (e.g., how education can change lives) may be challenging for younger learners. Phrases like drop out of or give up require contextual understanding. Students might misuse them (e.g., "drop out school" instead of "drop out of school"). Discussing personal stories (e.g., "Who made a difference in your life ") demands both language proficiency and emotional vulnerability, which some students may find intimidating.

教学反思 The lesson on "Making a Difference" resonated well with students, as it focused on the impact of teachers and education, a topic they could relate to. Students were engaged in discussing their favorite teachers and how they have influenced their lives. However, some students struggled to articulate specific ways their teachers have helped them, indicating a need for more guided prompts or examples to help them express their thoughts. The reading passage about Hao Tongxin and his teacher was effective in teaching the importance of perseverance and education. Students were able to identify true and false statements accurately, showing good comprehension. However, a few students had difficulty understanding the deeper message about making a difference. To address this, I will incorporate more discussion questions that encourage critical thinking and personal reflection. The lesson successfully introduced the distinction between the simple present and simple past tenses. Students practiced rewriting sentences by changing the tense, which helped reinforce their understanding. However, some students still confused the two tenses, particularly when dealing with irregular verbs. In future lessons, I will include more exercises and visual aids to clarify these grammar points.
