Module9LifehistoryUnit2Hedecidedtobeanactor.教案
-口语表达与交流：通过学习课文，学生能够模仿并创造性地运用所学表达方式，进行小组讨论和个人陈述，提高口语表达能力。
举例：
-教师可以通过展示课文中的人物时间线，强调一般过去时的运用，如：“When he was young, he dreamt of becoming an actor. Then, he decided to be an actor and gave up his studies at the age of 18.”
4.学习能力：指导学生运用有效的阅读策略，提高自主学习能力，激发学生的学习兴趣和动机，培养终身学习的意识。
三、教学难点与重点
1.教学重点
-一般过去时的正确运用：本节课的核心语法点是学生能够掌握并运用一般过去时描述人物的过去经历，如课文中提到的“decided to be an actor”和“gave up his studies”。教师需通过实例讲解，让学生理解并熟练运用该时态。
（三）实践活动（用时10分钟）
1.分组讨论：学生们将分成若干小组，每组讨论一个与课文主题相关的实际问题，如“你的梦想是什么？你为了实现梦想做过哪些努力？”
2.实验操作：为了加深对一般过去时的理解，我们将进行一个小型的角色扮演活动。学生将模拟采访，用一般过去时询问和回答关于梦想和决定的问题。
3.成果展示：每个小组将向全班展示他们的讨论成果和角色扮演活动。
2.教学难点
-一般过去时的时态变化：学生可能难以掌握动词过去式的变化规则，特别是不规则动词的过去式，如“go”变为“went”。
-课文பைடு நூலகம்节理解：学生可能在理解课文细节上存在困难，如对人物动机的理解、对放弃学业成为演员这一决定背后的情感和逻辑推理。

Module9LifehistoryUnit2Hedecidedtobeanactor(教案)
1.教学重点
-重点词汇和短语：pursue, talent, audition, determination, devote等，这些词汇和短语是描述人生经历和梦想追求的关键表达，需学生在实际语境中熟练运用。
-句型结构：课文中出现的复杂句型结构，如定语从句、宾语从句等，需学生掌握并在口语和写作中准确使用。
-学生在写作中应能运用：“Although he faced many challenges, his talent and determination finally paid off.”
2.教学难点
-生词和短语的正确使用：学生在记忆和理解这些词汇的基础上，需要在实际语境中正确运用，如区分devote to和be dedicated to的用法。
2.引导与启发：在讨论过程中，我将作为一个引导者，帮助学生发现问题、分析问题并解决问题。我会提出一些开放性的问题来启发他们的思考。
3.成果分享：每个小组将选择一名代表来分享他们的讨论成果。
（五）总结回顾（用时5分钟）
今天的学习，我们了解了如何用英语描述追求梦想的过程，学习了相关的词汇和句型。同时，通过实践活动和小组讨论，我们加深了对这些知识点的理解。我希望大家能够掌握这些知识点，并在日常生活中灵活运用。最后，如果有任何疑问或不明白的地方，请随时向我提问。
其次，在讲授新课的过程中，我注意到学生们对词汇和短语的学习较为吃力。因此，我决定在接下来的课程中，加强词汇教学的环节，采用更多实例和情景模拟，帮助他们更好地掌握这些核心知识。
此外，实践活动中的角色扮演让学生们能够将所学知识运用到实际情境中，提高了他们的口语表达能力。但同时，我也发现部分学生在角色扮演时，语言表达的流畅性和逻辑性还有待提高。在今后的教学中，我会更加关注这一点，并给予他们更多的指导和鼓励。

Module 9 Life history导学案Unit 1 He left school and began work at the age of twelve.设计：李征霖一、学习目标1、会读并应用本课的新词汇和短语。
2、能听懂并流利阅读本课的对话,并会背诵。
3、对一般过去式（不规则动词的过去式）有初步的感知和了解，并能进行口头陈述与询问。
4、能够运用一般过去式描述自己或他人的经历。
二、学习重点、难点1、新词汇：January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August,September, October, November, December, go away.2、重点句型：含有不规则动词过去式的句子.三、学习过程1、预习•导学：1）、看单词表P108-109页中标注（54）的单词，注意拼写，掌握词义。
2）、认真预习书本P100-101页Module 9语法.巧记不规则动词过去式不规则动词的过去式是特殊形式，需要特殊记忆，每个不规则动词的变化形式，都必须牢记。
现在介绍几则小技巧来帮大家记忆。
1.有a则a(aught)不算多,teach, catch就两个。
无a 则o(ought)有三个，bring,buy和think。
(还有 fight — fought 战斗；打架 )这是记忆catch, teach和 bring,buy, think的过去式的口诀。
即：catch —caught,teach—taught;bring—brought,buy—bought, think—thought2.保持原形不变：必须(must)让(let)他们放(put)下切(cut)刀来读(read)书，以免敲打(hit)受伤(hurt)花钱(cost)。
这句话是记忆过去式和动词原形相同的单词的。
即：must — must,let — let,put — put,cut —cut,read — read , hit — hit,hurt — hurt,cost — cost(还有 set — set安装；启动)3.游泳(swim)唱歌(sing)后，开始(begin)坐(sit)下来，给(give)点喝(drink)的吧，i就变成a 。
