Word power: Words used in performing公开课教案

Unit 1, Module 6 Wordlist Peihong Zhang No.1 High School of Jiangyin, Jiangsu

Thoughts on the design: 本课主要处理M6U1词汇。由于单词的学习必须在一定的语境中才能让学生更好地掌握并能在真实的交际中灵活运用。因此在词汇的教学过程中，我主张不要单纯机械地背诵单词，而是要符合学生认知规律，先初步熟悉重点单词，再进行逐个分析，其中讲解操练相辅相成，学生和老师都要动起来。最后让学生运用本堂课所学重点设计一篇幽默风趣的小文章，当场巩固当场掌握，从被动接受到主动运用。
