说课 | 高中英语《Sports and fitness》说课稿

Good morning/ afternoon, my dear examiners. I'm the second examinee. I’m so  glad to have this opportunity to interpret my teaching ideas. The topic of this  lesson is “Sports and fitness”, which consists of the following aspects:  analysis of teaching material, analysis of students, analysis of teaching  procedures and so on.

I Analysis of teaching materials

The first part in my presentation is the analysis of teaching material. The  lesson I am going to talk about is taken from PEP English for senior high  school, Book 1, unit 3, reading for writing. The topic of this unit is about  health. After learning this unit, students will be able to know how to write a  passage about describing some ideas about their changes. Meanwhile students can  improve their speaking ability as well.

II Analysis of students

Students in this period have gone through several-year English learning  systematically and are capable of speaking and writing. Years of practice helps  them form a good habit of studying in an autonomous way. However, their writing  abilities are inferior to their reading skills and still need improvement.  Though they know about fitness, they don’t know much about how to be healthy.  Learning this unit will help them, and I will design some helpful activities to  encourage them to think and learn.

III Analysis of teaching aims

Students can get familiar with the topic about fitness and master some new  words and key sentence structures such as “positive”, and “make a  difference”.

Students can know how to describe their changes and how to improve their  life.

Students will be able to improve their writing ability including collecting  some useful writing materials and organizing the logic of sentences.

Students can express their ideas about health by using proper words and  structures.

Students will have awareness of being positive and healthy.

IV Analysis of teaching key points and difficult points

The key point is that students will know how to describe their changes and  how to improve their life using the proper words and structures.

The difficult point is that students will improve their writing ability  including collecting some useful writing materials and organizing the logic of  sentences.

V Analysis of teaching methods and learning methods

I will mainly use the Task-based Teaching Method and Communicative Teaching  Method as my teaching methods. As for the learning methods, I will encourage  them to practice by themselves more, and at the same time, I will design some  pair works for them to learn the target knowledge.

VI Analysis of teaching aids

In order to arouse students’ interest, multimedia will be used as my teaching  aids.

VII Analysis of teaching procedures

Step 1 Warm-up and Lead-in

At the beginning of this class I will greet my students with the sentence  “How are you today?”. Then I am going to play a piece of news story about  teenagers’ obesity. After playing this news, I will lead my class in today’s  lesson by asking some questions: “What is the main topic of this news?”, “How  many diseases have you heard from it?”, “What causes obesity in adolescents?”.  By showing the news, students’ curiosity can be aroused and they can get  familiar with today’s topic. In such a good atmosphere, it will be helpful for  me to move on to the new lesson smoothly.

Step 2 Pre-writing

I will ask students to read the passage quickly within 5 minutes. After that  I will invite some students to generalize the main idea of the passage. Then I  will give students 8 minutes to read it very carefully so that they can answer  some detailed questions. The questions are like this:

a. What problem did Kayla have in the past?

b. What does the sentence “I almost went bananas” mean?

c. What made her change her thinking?

Then I will divide students into five groups to do a brainstorming about the  way they will choose to be healthy and invite some representatives to share  their ideas within 10 minutes. After that, some key words will be shown on the  blackboard. Meanwhile I will tell students to write this passage in three  paragraphs. For the first paragraph, students should have a general statement  about the topic and describe their current situation; for the second paragraph,  they need to describe what they want to change and how to change; for the last  paragraph, they can tell readers how changes improve their life and give some  useful advice.

In this way, students will be clear about the passage and collect some useful  information they can write in the passage, which will lay a good foundation for  their writing.

Step 3 While-writing

After doing a series of preparations, it will be much easier for students to  write down a short passage about the way to be healthy. They need to finish it  within 15 minutes and write at least 200 words. They can write their composition  based on the notes they have taken down.

While they are writing, I will ask them to pay more attention to the  spelling, grammar, and the logic of sentences. Also, I will give them some  guidance.

The purpose of this step is to help students improve their writing skills and  cultivate their ability of writing within limited time.

Step 4 Post-writing

After they finish writing, I will ask them to modify their drafts on their  own, and then exchange their paper with desk mates to do the peer editing. After  that, several students will be invited to come to the front to show their  writings to the class, and I will evaluate them in detail as well as give some  encouragement.

Through this section, the Cooperative Learning Method will be adopted so that  students can cultivate the awareness of cooperation and they will learn from  each other by comment.

Step 5 Summary and Homework

Summary: I will invite one student to be a little teacher to conclude what  they have learned today and give some supplements, then I will tell students  that they should cherish health and do more exercise. The purpose of this part  is that it will be helpful for students to check whether they have a systematic  understanding of this class and deepen their impression on the knowledge.

Homework: students need to polish their article and improve details in it,  and hand it to me tomorrow and they also need to design a poster about sports  and fitness. Before next class, I will invite some students to show their works  so as to help students consolidate what they have learned in this lesson.

VIII Analysis of blackboard design

(Purpose: at last, this is my blackboard design. It’s very simple and clear,  which could help students to understand the important words and target knowledge  of this lesson clearly.)
