教学过程设计
Lesson 1: Planting Trees 1. Warm-up & Lead-in - Activity 1: Weather Talk Ask students: “What’s the weather like today How’s the temperature ” Invite 2–3 students to share, then introduce the weather report segment from the textbook. - Activity 2: Picture Prompt Show a photo of the Great Green Wall and ask: “What do you see Why do we plant trees ” to activate prior knowledge and lead into the topic. 2. Pre-listening & Vocabulary Building - Vocabulary Introduction Present core words with visuals: seedling, soil, dig, prevent, dust, temperature. Use simple definitions: “A seedling is a young tree.” - Pronunciation Practice Model and drill the words as a class, focusing on stress and intonation. - Pre-teach Sentence Structures Introduce sequence markers (First, Then, Finally) and benefit patterns (Trees help ... / Trees prevent ...), with quick examples. 3. While-listening Activities - Task 1: Listen & Tick (Ex. 2) Play the first conversation once. Ask students to tick the items mentioned (weather, school project, steps to plant trees, reasons for planting trees, a way to learn about nature). Check answers as a class and clarify any misunderstandings. - Task 2: Listen & Answer (Ex. 3) Play the conversation a second time. Have students answer questions A, B, C individually, then compare answers in pairs. Invite students to share their answers and explain with evidence from the audio. - Task 3: Listen & Fill (Ex. 4) Play the Great Green Wall introduction twice. Students fill in the blanks: It is made up of strips of trees planted by humans. About 3,600 square kilometres of grassland are being covered by the Gobi Desert every year. The Great Green Wall project started in 1978. By planting more trees, people are preventing the desert from expanding ... By the year 2050, the Great Green Wall will be about 2,800 miles long. 4. Post-listening & Production - Activity 1: Role-play the Conversation Divide students into groups of 4 (Ms Liu, Wang Mei, Li Ming, Song Hua/Li Lin). Have them practice and act out the textbook conversation, encouraging natural intonation. - Activity 2: Pair Work – Explain Tree-planting Steps Students work in pairs. Using First, Then, Finally, they explain the steps of planting a tree to each other. Example: “First, dig a large hole. Then, put the seedling in the hole and cover the roots with soil. Finally, press the soil down and water the tree.” - Activity 3: Group Discussion – Benefits of Trees In groups of 3–4, students brainstorm more benefits of trees (e.g., “Trees provide oxygen”, “They make our city beautiful”). Each group shares 2–3 ideas with the class. 5. Summary & Homework - Summary Recap key vocabulary, sentence structures, and the importance of tree-planting. - Homework 1. Write a short paragraph (5–7 sentences) describing how to plant a tree, using sequence words. 2. Find one fact about the Great Green Wall and share it in the next class. 二次备课
