Unit5 Lesson 2 The Importance of Physical Work 教学设计

Lesson 2 The Importance of Physical Work 教学设计
一、教学基本信息
教材内容：围绕“体力劳动的重要性”展开的阅读与口语交际整合课，包含“文本深度解读、思维导图结构化梳理、情境对话补全、主题项目式讨论”四大核心任务，配套原创阅读文本及梯度化练习。
授课对象：初中七/八年级学生（具备基础词汇储备，能进行简单英文问答，需强化抽象词汇理解与逻辑表达能力）
课时：1课时（45分钟）
二、教学目标
1. 语言能力
掌握体力劳动核心词汇（muscle, responsibility, cooperate, character, confident, well-being）及3组核心句型（What physical work have you done / Physical work helps us... because... / I feel... when doing physical work.）
能读懂说明文体裁的劳动主题文本，精准定位“体力劳动重要性”的三大核心论据；能运用所学词汇句型完成对话补全，并进行1-2分钟连贯的口语表达（分享劳动经历或观点）。
2. 文化意识
理解体力劳动在个人品格塑造、身心健康及社会协作中的核心价值，认同“劳动最光荣”的理念。
初步感知中外劳动教育的共性（如重视实践、强调责任），培养尊重各行各业劳动者的意识。
3. 思维品质
通过略读、扫读、精读的梯度阅读训练，提升文本逻辑分析与信息归纳能力（能梳理“总-分”式文本结构）。
通过小组讨论中的观点碰撞，培养批判性思维（如分析不同劳动项目的适配性）与创新表达能力（设计活动倡议）。
4. 学习能力
掌握“思维导图梳理文本结构”“语义网络记忆词汇”两种学习策略，提升自主学习效率。
学会在小组合作中明确分工、高效沟通，提升合作探究能力。
三、教学重难点
（一）教学重点
扎实掌握核心词汇与句型，精准理解文本中体力劳动的三大重要性（塑造品格、增强体能、促进身心健康与协作）。
能完成梯度化阅读任务（主旨归纳、细节判断、思维导图填空），并运用所学进行简单口语交际（对话补全、简短分享）。
（二）教学难点
理解并灵活运用抽象词汇（character, responsibility, well-being），能结合语境准确表达含义。
能结合自身经历，用英语有条理、有逻辑地阐述体力劳动的益处（需用到“观点+论据”的表达结构）。
（三）重难点突破策略
抽象词汇：采用“情境释义+生活实例+反义词对比”三维度讲解，搭配可视化图片辅助理解。
口语表达：提供“句型支架+思维导图提示”，先小组互助打磨表达，再班级展示，降低输出难度。
四、教学方法
任务型教学法（贯穿全课梯度任务）、情境教学法（视频/图片创设劳动情境）、合作学习法（小组词汇建构/项目讨论）、讲授法（词汇/文本逻辑点拨）、分层教学法（任务设计兼顾不同水平学生）
五、教学过程（45分钟）
Step 1: Warm-up & Lead-in（5分钟）
情境导入：播放70秒“多元劳动场景”无对白视频（含：校园值日生扫地、农场农民收割、社区志愿者整理图书、家庭厨房做饭、园丁修剪绿植），背景音乐选用轻快的《劳动最光荣》英文改编版。
情感联结与快速问答： T: What are the people doing in the video (Guide students to answer: sweeping the floor, harvesting crops, organizing books...) T: How do they look Tired Or happy (Guide: focused, happy, proud) T: Have you ever had this feeling after doing physical work Share one quick example. (邀请2-3名学生简单回答，如：I felt proud after cleaning my room.)
课题预测：揭示课题 Lesson 2 The Importance of Physical Work，提问：Based on the video, what importance of physical work do you think the passage will talk about Write 1-2 key words on your notebook.（学生写下关键词，如：strong, happy, help others，教师快速板书3-4个高频词）
设计意图：以可视化视频创设真实劳动情境，通过情感提问建立学生与主题的联结，避免词汇机械预热；课题预测环节培养阅读预判能力，为后续文本阅读搭建认知脚手架。
Step 2: Pre-reading（8分钟）
Activity 1: Vocabulary Building（6分钟）
采用“分层词汇+情境建构”模式，分三级突破核心词汇：
Tier 1（直观具象词）：muscle, strong 操作：教师做“展示肌肉”动作，展示运动员健身图片，提问：Look at my arm! This is muscle. Do you have strong muscles 学生模仿动作回应，快速理解词义。
Tier 2（核心概念词）：responsibility, cooperate, character 操作：“概念释义+生活实例+反向提问”
Responsibility: It means doing what you should do, even when you don’t want to. E.g., Watering your family’s plants every day, or finishing your class cleaning duty. Q: What’s your responsibility at home/school
Cooperate: Working with others to finish a task together. E.g., Carrying heavy books with your classmates, or making a poster in a group. Q: When did you cooperate with others
Character: The good qualities in a person, like being hard-working, brave or kind. E.g., Doing physical work can make your character better.
Tier 3（抽象提升词）：well-being, value 操作：结合图片释义（健康的人微笑图→well-being；“劳动创造价值”标语图→value），搭配简单同义词：well-being = health and happiness; value = importance。
Activity 2: Semantic Network Construction（2分钟）
小组任务：每组发放一张A4卡纸，中心写“Physical Work”，将刚才学的词汇（muscle, responsibility等）和导入环节的劳动项目词（sweep the floor, water plants等）作为节点，用箭头+连接词（makes, needs, helps improve）连接，形成语义网络。
小组预测：Share your network with your group. Guess: How will the writer connect these words What’s the most important point of the passage （每组选1名代表分享1个预测）
设计意图：分层词汇教学适配学生认知规律，避免“一刀切”；语义网络活动将词汇转化为有逻辑的关联记忆，同时为阅读文本的逻辑梳理铺垫基础。
Activity 3: Pre-reading Prediction（衔接环节，1分钟）
T: We’ve talked about many ideas about physical work. Now, let’s guess: What details will the passage tell us about the importance of physical work Discuss in pairs for 30 seconds, then share.（引导学生预测：Does it make our bodies stronger Does it help us learn to cooperate ）
设计意图：强化阅读预判意识，激发主动阅读的欲望，让学生带着“验证预测”的目的进入阅读环节。
Step 3: While-reading（15分钟）
Activity 1: Skimming – Get the Main Idea（3分钟）
任务：学生快速阅读文本（1分钟），回答问题：What is the main purpose of the passage A. To tell different kinds of physical work. B. To explain why physical work is important. C. To ask students to do more physical work.
核对答案：B（教师引导学生定位文本首句：Physical work plays an important role in our growth and daily life. 验证答案）
设计意图：训练略读技巧（关注首尾句、主题句），快速把握文本核心意图，避免逐字逐句阅读。
Activity 2: Scanning – Complete True/False Questions（4分钟）
任务：学生细读文本（2分钟），判断下列句子正误，并用横线划出文本中对应的依据句。 ① Doing farm work can help us develop stronger muscles. ( )② Household chores, like washing dishes, are not physical work. ( )③ Working with others in physical work helps us learn to cooperate. ( )④ Physical work only makes our bodies strong, not our character. ( )
答案与解析： ① T（依据句：When we do farm work, such as digging or harvesting, our muscles become stronger day by day.）② F（依据句：Many daily household chores, like sweeping the floor, washing dishes and watering plants, are also kinds of physical work.）③ T（依据句：When we work with others to finish a physical task, we learn how to cooperate and communicate better.）④ F（依据句：Physical work not only builds our strength but also shapes our character, making us more confident and responsible.）
设计意图：训练扫读技巧（定位关键词），强化文本细节理解，同时培养“有据可依”的阅读习惯。
Activity 3: Careful Reading – Complete the Mind Map（8分钟）
任务：教师展示思维导图框架（中心主题：The Importance of Physical Work，分三个分支：To build strength, To shape character, To improve well-being），学生再次精读文本（3分钟），独立填写每个分支下的具体要点；之后小组内核对答案（2分钟），教师巡视指导。
设计意图：通过思维导图可视化文本逻辑，培养学生归纳总结能力；小组核对环节兼顾分层教学，帮助基础薄弱学生查漏补缺。
Step 4: Post-reading（12分钟）
Activity 1: Complete the Conversation（4分钟）
任务：展示情境对话（Li Ming与Wang Mei讨论校园劳动的重要性），学生结合文本知识和核心句型补全对话（2分钟）；之后两人一组分角色朗读（1分钟），教师抽查2组并纠正发音、语调问题（如cooperate, responsibility的重音）。
对话原文及答案： Li Ming: Hi Wang Mei! Our school will hold a "Physical Work Week" soon. Do you think physical work is important Wang Mei: Absolutely! It’s really necessary for us. Li Ming: Why do you think so Can you tell me the reasons Wang Mei: First, it helps us build physical strength (构建体能). When we do farm work or clean the garden, our muscles become stronger. Li Ming: That’s true! What else Wang Mei: Second, it can shape our character (塑造品格). We can learn to be responsible and confident through finishing labor tasks. Li Ming: I agree! I felt very proud when I helped my mom clean the house last week. Wang Mei: Exactly! And we can also learn to cooperate with others (学会与他人合作) when working in groups. Li Ming: Thanks for sharing! I can’t wait to join the "Physical Work Week"!
设计意图：将阅读输入转化为口语输出，通过对话补全搭建表达支架，强化核心词汇句型的运用，为后续自由表达铺垫。
Activity 2: Group Project – Design a "Physical Work Week" Activity（8分钟）
任务：每组4人，分工完成“校园体力劳动倡议活动”设计（角色分工：1名记录员、1名发言人、2名设计师），需完成4项核心任务（给出具体示例引导）：
① Choose one activity（选项目）：E.g., Clean up the school garden / Organize the library bookshelves / Help the canteen staff set tables
② List 3 benefits（说价值）：Use ideas from the passage（需结合文本中的三大重要性），E.g., Cleaning the garden can help us build strength, develop responsibility and learn to cooperate.
③ Create an English slogan（写口号）：Catchy and easy to remember, E.g., "Work with Hands, Grow with Hearts!" / "Strong Bodies, Bright Minds – Physical Work Works!"
④ Draw a simple poster sketch（画海报草图）：Include the activity name, slogan and 1-2 pictures (e.g., students cleaning the garden)
示例推介： Our project is cleaning up the school garden. It’s important because first, it helps us build physical strength by digging and watering plants. Second, it develops our sense of responsibility to keep our school beautiful. Third, we can learn to cooperate with group members to finish the work faster. Our slogan is "Green Garden, Happy Work!" We draw a picture of us working together in the garden. We hope all students can join us!
设计意图：将语言运用嵌入真实的项目式任务中，融合“读、说、写、画”多模态能力训练；小组分工与班级评价提升学生的合作意识与表达积极性，同时深化对劳动价值的理解。
Step 5: Summary & Homework（5分钟）
Summary（3分钟）
教师引导学生回顾：Today we learned...（核心词汇、文本三大重要性、核心句型），结合板书的思维导图框架进行集体回顾。
学生总结：邀请1名学生用3-5句话英文总结本节课内容（提供支架：Today we talked about the importance of physical work. It can help us... We also learned some words like... I think we should...），教师补充完善。
设计意图：梳理知识体系，强化记忆；情感升华环节呼应文化意识目标，深化主题理解。
Homework（2分钟）
基础任务（必做）：Complete the mind map about the importance of physical work (可图文结合，用英文填写要点)。
提升任务（必做）：Write a short passage "My Physical Work Story" (60 words左右)，要求：① 讲述一次自己的劳动经历；② 说明这次经历带来的感受或收获；③ 用到至少2个本节课所学词汇。（提供写作支架：Last weekend, I... I felt... Because this work helped me... I think physical work is...）
拓展任务（选做）：Share your "Physical Work Story" with your family in English, and ask them about their favorite physical work experience.
设计意图：分层作业兼顾不同水平学生，基础任务巩固课堂知识，提升任务强化语言输出，拓展任务延伸学习场景，实现“课内外衔接”。
