教学内容

The topic of this unit is “Amazing things”. We’ll read a ghost story which happens in the park.

教学对象

The seventh grade students just contact with the reading of the lengthy discourse. They also need the guidance of a teacher in reading ability, so at the beginning I teach students to learn new words. Then let students use the scanning or skimming method to read the story several times with different ways. And I focus on training them how to seize the key words in the sentences and the topic sentence in paragraphs.

教学目标

1. To know an amazing thing happened on Millie and Amy.

2. To learn to guess meanings of new words from the context

3. To learn to skim text for overall meanings and scan for details

4. To know the style of writing a narration.

5. To develop students’ true attitude towards their life and science.

教学策略

1. Ask students to guess what they are according to some strange sounds and pictures.

2. Guess and understand the meanings of new words according to the text.

3. Get information about the ghost in the park by reading several times. 

4. Use the text and the skills of reading to review and consolidate what they have learned.

Good morning, boys and girls! It’s a pleasure to have an English class with you.

1. First of all, I’d like to ask you a question:

Do you know a popular film called Zootopia? Did you watch it?

2. Play a short video about “Zootopia”.

3. Ask questions: How do you feel about the film/animals?

Now look at the main character of this film. She is Judy and she works in the police station. She is a clever and brave rabbit.

1. Introduce what happened to Judy by telling a story.

2. Read new words and expressions together.

3. Ask students to find the meanings by circling the correct letter.

4. Ask students to read with the video by themselves and find out what happened to the ghost at last.

Judy wants to know all the details of the ghost in the park, so let’s read this story again:

1. Read Line 1-7 together and fill in the blanks on the test paper.

2. Group work: Read and do True or False questions.

3. Pair work: Ask and answer in pairs with the information in Line 14-16.

 Millie wrote a diary for Judy to help her know the whole story better but the sentences are not in the right order. Please work in groups and help Judy rearrange the sentences according to the story.

One reporter from BBC wants to know about the story. Now she is asking Judy some questions. Please work in pairs and make up a dialogue like this. Remember when we interview someone, it’s better to start with “May I ask you some questions?” You can also choose some of the questions below:

1. When did Millie and Amy go to Sunshine Park ?

2. What did they hear?

3. Were they afraid?

4. What did Andy find?

5. Who made the sound?

6. Why did the little cat sound like a ghost?

7. Where’s the little cat now?

8. What do you think of Andy?

You did a good job today. But I still have a question:

Among Millie, Amy and Andy, who is brave enough to find the truth? Why?

(Andy. Because he believes in science and he believes in truth. There is no ghost in the world at all. And we should try our best to do everything.)

1. Read this story fluently and emotionally.

2. Find more amazing things on the Internet and share them with your classmates.

Watch the video and answer the questions about the feelings.

1. Listen to the teacher carefully and learn the new words by heart.

2. Choose the right meanings of the new words. (P59 B1)

3. Skim the text and answer: Millie, Amy and Andy took the little cat to the animal centre.

Read the text again and try to do some exercises.

1. Discuss in groups and put the sentences into the right order.

2. Read Millie’s diary together loudly and fluently.

Prepare by themselves in pairs and try to make the dialogue long and interesting.

Enjoy the song and learn to enjoy the amazing world.

Arouse students’ interest in this class.

Learn new words and expressions in the context.

Know some details about the text.

Pay attention to the key sentences and the sequence of the story.

Learn to use their own words to tell a story and to organize a complete dialogue.

Develop students’ true attitude towards their life and science.
