Changes In Our City 教学设计

Students in my class are 12-13 years-old. They are active and have an excellent attitude in regard to academics, and they are curious about learning new things which facilitates their learning process.

3. Students’ level of knowledge and ability

They have great passion and fairly high-level English competence. After 3 periods of learning, they have grasped enough active vocabulary, and have thoroughly practiced describing changes in our city. However, they don’t know much about the history of Shenzhen and how significant the changes are. They need to learn more about our city.

The Analysis of the New Curriculum

Guided by the 5 basic concepts of the New Curriculum, this class is designed to help the students find better ways to learn and improve their self-learning ability. During the teaching procedure, students are led to express themselves frequently, from useful learning strategy that improves self-teaching ability through frequent watching, experiencing and studying. They can also be led to make good use of modern equipment and other useful resources to form their own study methods and style.

The Analysis of Teaching Material

This class is the 4th period (Part F Your city: Then and now) of Unit 3 in Junior Book 2 (Shenzhen Edition). It is mainly about old Shenzhen and the changes that have occurred in Shenzhen. It encourages students to describe the changes that happened around them in English.

It’s not enough for them to learn about the changes only from the text. So I add two parts:

1. Introduce the history of Shenzhen

Students can develop a general idea of how our city changed from a poor fishing-village to a modern city.

2. Before-class preparation

(This is designed to develop the ability to collect information)

According to the text, I design 6 topics as follows:

1) Shenzhen history;

2) The transportation situation (cars, buses, trains, metro, etc.);

3) Roads and buildings;

4) Markets and shops;

5) Population and occupation;

6) Living situation.

Divide the students into 6 groups, each group can choose one topic. Before having classes, ask the students to look up the information by visiting the Shenzhen History Museum, surfing the Internet and going to the library in their spare time.

After learning the history of Shenzhen and the present situation of Shenzhen, students will be proud of being people of Shenzhen. They are led to realize that they must work harder to ensure Shenzhen will have a beautiful future.
