一、Analysis of students
The target students are in their final year of high school, preparing for the Gaokao. They have a basic understanding of English grammar, but many still struggle with verb forms, especially in complex sentence structures. Common issues include confusion over tense consistency, passive voice, and the correct use of non-predicate verbs. This lesson aims to address these challenges by providing clear strategies and practical exercises.
二、Analysis of content
This lesson focuses on the key points of verb usage in the rational cloze section of Gaokao. It covers the use of predicate verbs (including tense, voice and agreement) and non-predicate verbs (such as infinitives, gerunds, and participles). By analyzing recent Gaokao questions related to the textbooks, students will learn to identify and apply the correct verb forms in different contexts and acquire some strategies concerning these. The lesson also includes exercises to help students practice and consolidate their understanding of verb usage as a paper designer, which further helps students grasp the essence of paper designing.
三、Instructional Design Philosophy
This lesson is designed to enhance students’ proficiency in tackling verb-related questions in the rational cloze section of the Gaokao. Rooted in the 2017 English Curriculum Standards, the lesson emphasizes form-meaning-use integration and core competencies (linguistic competence, cultural awareness, thinking quality, and learning ability). By analyzing high-frequency verb test points from recent Gaokao papers and integrating textbook examples, the lesson bridges theoretical grammar rules with practical application. The design fosters critical thinking through contextual analysis, collaborative tasks, and student-generated exercises, empowering learners to act not just as test-takers but also as problem-solvers and paper designers.
四、Learning aims
In this class,you will be able to :
1. learn about the test points of verbs in the rational cloze;
2. identify the abilities demanded in the verbs in rational cloze in NMET;
3. set a rational cloze task with verbs.
五、Key and Difficult Points of Teaching
Key points：
＊identify and apply correct verb forms (predicate and non-predicate) in rational cloze contexts
＊understand and maintain tense consistency in complex sentence structures
Difficult points：
＊distinguish between predicate verbs and non-predicate verbs in sentences with multiple clauses
＊accurately determine the appropriate tense and voice (active/passive) based on contextual clues
