Firstly, based on the theme of "Heroes", through learning situation analysis, teachers pay attention to students' language proficiency, learning needs, emotional factors, cognitive characteristics, and understanding of the background knowledge of the theme. Next, the teacher selects sub theme content related to the theme category of "people and society" based on the "New Curriculum Standards for Moral Education", screens review texts related to the theme significance, such as the stories of Zhao Yiman and Yuan Longping, and designs teaching objectives aimed at core competencies. Then, develop evaluation tasks that match the learning objectives, clarify evaluation criteria, and create problem scenarios to design evaluation tasks, such as selecting and describing heroes, explaining reasons for selection, personal insights and connections, etc. Finally, arrange teaching activities with embedded evaluation tasks, including reading discourse, writing character biographies, drawing mind maps, and completing short essay writing, to promote the achievement of students' literacy goals. Teachers also provide output support and evaluation criteria to guide students in self-evaluation and peer evaluation, achieving the evaluation goals of diagnosis and promotion of learning. By playing theme related videos, students can deepen their exploration of the significance of the theme, guide them to learn the spiritual qualities of heroic characters, and strengthen their ideals and beliefs.
