Teaching Procedures	Tips
Step 1 Warm up
Warm up T asks Ss to see and say the activities on PPT P5 and P6 in English. (T shows pictures one by one and ask students the question: Are there any activities at your school? What festival do you have? Ss should answer the question with the sentence patterns like: We have a/an …at school.) T asks Ss to look at the diagram and say the activities on PPT P7.    (T shows Ss the activities and dates. Ss answer the questions with the sentence patterns: We have … (activities) on …(date).)
Step 2While-reading
Pre-reading 2a T asks Ss to check (√) the activities they have at school. Answers will vary. While-reading First Reading 2b T asks Ss to scan the school notice and list the activities and the dates. Answers: (T tells Ss what scan is: to read carefully and find the details. Ss read para by para, and do the tasks. After Ss read the passage together, T should correct their pronunciations, and lead them to read the words and the sentences where they have problems again, so as to make sure they can read correctly. T asks Ss to answer the questions after each paragraph. They can share the answers one by one or in a row or in a line.) Second Reading Ask Ss to read the school notice and answer the questions. 1. How many activities do they have this term? 2. Which month has the most activities? Are the students busy? 3. Who can come to school on School Day? 4. Where is the book sale? 5. Do you think the students have a good time this term? (This part needs Ss to have a deeper thinking about the detailed information of the passage. They are encouraged to summarize and share their ideas.) Third Reading 2c T ask Ss to discuss the questions with their partners. 1. What activities from 2b do you like? 2. What other activities do you like? T asks Ss to make a conversation in pairs. (T gives Ss a sample. Ss can make conversations following the sample  or they can add more things they want to share, e.g. What do you think of your school trip? When they are sharing, T can correct their grammar mistakes.) T asks Ss look at the pictures and complete the conversation. (T shows pictures, and ask two Ss to do Q&A. One S asks with the sentence pattern: Do you have a / an ...? When is it? The other Ss answers with the sentence pattern: Yes, we do. It’s…They can share the answers one by one or in a row or in a line.) Post-listening T asks Ss to design their own school activities. T: If you are the leader of your school, what activities do you want to have? Think about the question and fill in the chart. (T asks Ss to use the sentence patterns to share their ideas: 1. We have… 2. We don’t have… 3. … is on …) T asks Ss to make conversations with their partner according to the chart above. (T gives Ss a sample and Ss can use the samples given or they can add more things to their conversations, e.g. Do you have a School Day at your school? When is it?)

Teaching Reflection	Students didn't make full use of sentence patterns when designing a table to share the activities, and T didn't give much guidance. Therefore, the sentence patterns were not fully practiced.
