How to set homework for lower grade English

Homework is an effective extension of the English classroom teaching task and an important part of teaching activities. And the design of an excellent English homework, to stimulate students' enthusiasm for learning, to improve the quality of English teaching also has a multiplier effect. So, how should we arrange elementary school English homework? Let the homework become the enjoyment of students' art, so as to achieve the consolidation of knowledge, the stimulation of interest, the cultivation of creativity and the development of multiple intelligences? I combined with the teaching practice in recent years, to talk about a few immature views.

1, so that the combination of homework and multiple intelligences, the layout of colorful homework

Multiple Intelligences theory that every normal person has eight kinds of intelligence: linguistic intelligence, musical intelligence, logical intelligence, spatial intelligence, motor intelligence, interpersonal intelligence, self-awareness of the intelligence, natural observation intelligence. Every person can develop his or her eight intelligences to different levels, and the reasonable development of these eight intelligences can effectively promote learning. We should try our best to create the best environment for homework, assign reasonable and colorful homework, develop students' multiple intelligences, and better cultivate students' learning interests and emotions.

1) Drawing homework

Combining drawing and language is an effective means of developing spatial and linguistic intelligence. In drawing assignments, students create their favorite pictures through imagination and color feeling, and then memorize the words with the help of the pictures, so that learning and memorizing will be more effective. Teachers can assign some drawing assignments according to the characteristics of the words and let the students do it. For example, after teaching stationery words (pen, pencil, ruler ......), animal words (cat, dog, duck ......), toy words (plane, kite, car ......), animal words (cat, dog, duck ......), toy words (plane, kite, car), etc. After all these, you can let students look at the words and draw a picture, and give feedback and exchange in the classroom on the next day, which can be described by students in simple sentences. Example: I have a red pencil . I like it. For example, after teaching the 26 letters of the alphabet, you can assign imaginative drawing homework, so that students can spread the wings of their imagination to draw each letter, maximizing the use of students' imagination. Teachers should seize the characteristics of each word and assign drawing assignments at the right time to fully mobilize students' enthusiasm and make learning fun.

2) Rap assignments

Rap is an attempt to develop musical intelligence and interpersonal intelligence, and in the midst of rap, students' motor intelligence can also be developed. According to the age of the students, seize their love of singing and dancing character traits, assign homework, according to the content learned, let the students make up their favorite chant and song, try to let the students consolidate what they have learned in the chant and song. The following is a chant made up by third-grade students after learning Oxford English Unit 2 My family:

grandfather, grandfather, grandpa, grandma, grandma, grandma, grandma, father, father, father, father, father, father, mother, mother, mother, brother, brother, brother, sister, sister

The children make up a hamburger-style song with these scattered and boring titles, clap their hands and rhythmically rap down the words, which is both fun and easy to memorize.

After learning the song Old Macdonald's farm, I asked students to create their own lyrics and sing them outside of class. Many students used the animal words they had learned to replace the cow in the original lyrics and imitated the animal's call, and the songs they created were so cheerful and beautiful. Imagine this form of homework or let the students read each word aloud 20 times, which is more effective?

3)Making assignments

In "task-based teaching", teachers can design making assignments to let students enjoy the fun of I can do it in English! For example, after learning imperative sentences, students can be asked to design English warning signs for various places on campus; after learning how to ask for a phone number, students can be asked to make an English phone book; after learning the unit of Making animal salads, sixth-grade students can be asked to make their own salads, and when they show them to other students, they can introduce how they are made in English.

By checking the students' completion of the assignments, it can be seen that the students' plasticity is very strong. For this kind of homework, students should be given the space to fully demonstrate, and the teacher should, as far as possible, arrange suitable time in the second class for students to exchange feedback and make appropriate evaluations. Due to the limited classroom time, students' works can also be displayed in the class English corner. Modern psychology shows that when a certain kind of good behavior emerges in students, if they can get the appropriate recognition in time, it will produce some kind of psychological satisfaction, form a pleasurable state of mind, and make the same kind of behavior to continue to make positive efforts to a higher level of need, and the teacher should follow this principle in the feedback assessment.

2, so that homework into the student life, with practical

1) nature observation class homework

Learning to use, learning English is to be able to use the language well, learning English to be closely integrated with life, nature, reflecting the living of the English language, the development of the intelligence of natural observers. For example, after learning the weather, you can give students the assignment to observe the weather this week and keep a record of it. On Monday, it is sunny. On Tuesday, it is cloudy .On Wednesday, it is cloudy too. On Thursday, it is rainy. On Saturday and Sunday, it is sunny. I like the sunny day.

After learning the unit The farm, the students were assigned the homework of describing their pets, and the students observed the pets carefully, drew sketches, and made descriptions like the following:

I have a lovely cat. It has a long body and short legs. It has a long body and short legs. It has short black hair. It has brown eyes and a small nose. It has a big mouth and big ears. Its tail is short. I love my cat.

2) Cooperation and Interaction Assignments

Cooperation Learning refers to the mutual supportive learning in which students work in groups or teams with a clear division of responsibilities in order to accomplish the ****same task. Cooperative learning in groups can promote students' imagination and thinking; cooperative learning in groups can also enhance students' learning initiative and enthusiasm. Helps to cultivate students' spirit of solidarity and sense of competition; helps to tailor the teaching to the students, can make up for a teacher who is difficult to face the teaching deficiencies of a large number of students with differences, so as to truly realize the development of each and every student. Combined with the geographical characteristics of rural students, the class is divided into a number of groups, and the members of each group help each other to **** the same to complete the learning task. In the process of discussion they supervise each other, check each other, review and consolidate the knowledge and skills they have learned. Such assignments can be designed from the following three aspects.

(1) Investigation. After finishing the lesson of Shopping, the following assignments can be designed: students work in groups to investigate the prices of goods in major local supermarkets and provide reference data for the Consumers' Association. This kind of homework can be arranged to be completed on weekends, each person investigates the prices of at least ten kinds of goods and fills in the names and prices of the goods in English. After learning the unit of My birthday, the groups were assigned the survey homework, using the sentence pattern: When is your birthday? It is......

(2) Interviews. For example, after learning What are you going to do for Sports Day? the following assignments can be designed: the school sports day is about to begin, find out what other classes have signed up for the school sports day, so that you can "know yourself and know your enemy" and strive for a good result; make a record sheet for the interview, and ask the students to record the name of the interviewee in English. Make an interview sheet and ask the students to record the names of the interviewees and the names of the sports they are participating in in English, interview at least five students, and communicate with them in small groups. These "interview" assignments are close to life, and students can use the language they have learned to conduct real communication, which greatly mobilizes students' interest, communicates with each other, and improves students' interpersonal communication skills.

(3) Performing and creating. After learning the text, let the students according to the content of the text, a few people group performance textbook drama or textbook drama re-creation. After teaching The magic bird, I let the students perform in groups of three; after finishing My new teacher, I set up the following homework: to create a dialog on the topic of "My English teacher". Through the arrangement of cooperative homework, each student can get comprehensive and harmonious development in active learning.
