Vocabulary revision--describing a person
Instructor: Lv Yan
Teaching characteristics:
Lively, interactive, vivid and efficient. (LIVE)
Teaching objectives:
By the end of this period, the students will be able to:
1. use the vocabulary to describe a person;
2. know how to apply what they ’ve learnt to practice;
3. learn to be positive about life and grateful to people around them.
Thoughts on the design:
本堂课是一堂有关人物描述的词汇复习课，授课对象是高三297班的学生，297班是一个文科艺术班，绝大部分的学生才刚刚结束半年的封闭式专业培训返校学习，英语基础非常薄弱，对于艺术生而言，正确掌握和运用词汇，是进一步学习英语和提高英语的前提和保障。因此我在教学中很注重基础，狠抓落实，严格把关，在课堂教学中鼓励学生积极参与课堂。
该节课围绕“Describing a person ”这一主题，首先以第11模块My father, my hero 为引线导入课堂，告诉学生如何从多方面描述人物，然后通过思维导图鼓励学生积极复习与之有关的词汇、词性转换和词形变化。接着通过让学生做一篇高考阅读填空的模拟题来检验学生本堂课的学习效果,同时也提高学生学习英语的兴趣和积极性。
由于艺术生普遍对英语学习缺乏信心和兴趣，如何调动学生的积极性是我在课前常常思考的问题。这堂课我主要采用的是小组合作、学生自主探究的形式，培养学生发散性思维和合作意识。通过对有关人物描述的积极词汇的复习，鼓励和教育学生以积极的态度面对生活。
Teaching procedures:
Step 1 Lead-in
Ask the students to recite the last two paragraphs in the passage My father, my hero to introduce the topic of this period.
设计意图：
My father, my hero 是一篇学生学过的描述人物的文章。其中最后两段的人物描述写得很精彩，学生曾经背诵过。因此，通过背诵这两段，引出本堂课的主题—描述人物。
Step 2 Presentation
Activity 1. Ask the students to describe Mrs. Liao. What is Mrs. Liao like?
Activity 2. Let the students read the words related to describing a person aloud.
设计意图：
通过学生对他们所熟悉的廖老师进行描述，让学生快速集中注意力，兴趣盎然地参与课堂，复习各种与描述人物有关的词汇或短语表达。然后再让学生大声朗读刚才所复习的单词和表达，为下一步词汇的输出做好铺垫。
Activity1. Get the students to work in groups to work out a mind map to describe a person. Then go through the words and phrases in the mind map.
设计意图：
学生通过小组合作完成思维导图，对描述人物的词汇和表达进行了分类和归纳，有助于学生知识网络的条理化和系统化。同时，小组活动也有利于培养学生的合作精神。此外，通过对一些积极词汇的学习，帮助学生树立积极的人生观。
Activity2. Get the students to work in groups again to work out a second mind map and think of as many relevant words or phrases as possible. Remind them to pay attention to the changes of part of speech.
设计意图：
在这环节的教学中，我让学生通过再做一个思维导图，写出与qualities的有关的词汇和短语表达（包括近义词、反义词、词性转换和词形变化），进一步扩大了他们的词汇量，培养他们的创新精神和发散性思维。

设计意图：
阅读填空是高考的一个重要题型，也是学生普遍觉得有难度的题型。通过让学生把在先前的教学步骤中所学的词形变换和词性转换的技巧到运用在高考训练实践中去，有助于他们对所学知识的巩固，同时也增强了他们对学习英语的兴趣和学好英语的信心。
