Word power: Words used in performing教学设计

Module 6 Unit 1

Word power Learning objectives: By the end of this class, students will be able to: 1. expand the vocabulary used in performing; 2. learn how to prepare a play; 3. make a play-acting plan in groups. 课堂说明：本课是一个Word power词汇课，学生通过对words used in performing的学习，累计相关词汇的同时，也借助教材此部分中的两个短语篇获取短剧表演的一些信息，了解短剧表演需要做哪些准备，在此基础上完成本单元Project短剧表演的play plan。在准备play plan的过程中，学生将大量的使用Word power中涉及的词汇，并能结合本课所学戏剧文化对本单元要表演的短剧做好设计，本堂课既有新知识的输入、也在语用的基础上帮助学生对本单元的Project短剧表演任务做好热身准备。整堂课从课程目标到课程资源开发上，均充分体现了英语学科核心素养中的文化素养（戏剧文化）、思维品质（观察、注意、记忆、综合、创新）、语言能力（知识、技能、学习策略）和交际能力。

Before class Read the two plays “The invisible bench”

and “The important papers”

on Page14 and 15 and know what the two plays talk about. 【设计说明】本单元的project的内容是两个短剧，学生需要选择其中一个参与表演，本堂课既是对舞台剧相关词汇的一个学习，也是对本单元Project短剧表演的一个指导和准备课堂，课前让学生有针对性的熟悉剧本内容，更有利于学生课堂上making a play plan环节的参与。

In Class Step 1 Lead-in Watch a short play “The best you” and answer the following questions. Questions: 1. Is acting out a play challenging or easy? Why? 2. If you will act out a play, what should you prepare? 1

【设计说明】由一个学生演的英文舞台短剧视频导入，视频与本课word power词汇紧密相关，并通过两个问题，引出本课的word power学习任务和how to make a play plan的任务，学生带着任务开始本堂课的英语学习。

Step 2 Word power Learn some words used in performing and on stage. Task One: Brainstorming Brainstorm any word used in performing.

Task Two: Vocabulary study and exercise Learn the words in performing from Part A and Part B on Page 6 and finish Part C on Page 7.

Task Three: Further exercise Label the picture on the screen with the words in performing.

【设计说明】学生先头脑风暴，再通过阅读练习，图片label，层层递进，熟悉本单元word power目标词汇的使用，同时累积how to act out a play的相关信息。

Step 3 Making a play-acting plan Choose either of the two plays “The invisible bench”

and “The important papers”

and make a play-acting plan for it in groups. Example: The name of the play: The best you Characters: three interviewers (played by Ou Yunxin, Zhou Yuting and Zhao Xiaomeng) two secretaries(Chen Jingyan and Fu Xiaoyu) three job applicants (Chen Zhiying, Shen ao and Yuan Zhiqi)
