Teaching Procedures
| Tips
| Step 1 Warming up
| | - Let Ss review the colors. Tell them that they can use the following structures:
- — What's this / this letter? — It's ...
- — What color is it? — It's ...
| | Step 2Presentation & Practice (3a-3d)
| | - Ask Ss to listen and color the things.
- After completion of 3a, have Ss focus on real objects as well as the pictures in the book. Bring a cup, a key and a ruler to class and show Ss each object, one at a time. Elicit from Ss the name of each object ad its color. Also have Ss repeat the activity using their own objects such as rulers, keys and cups.
- Have Ss try to write the words first and then listen to check the answers. In this way, Ss have more time to think about the spelling of the words and T can instruct Ss to listen for specific sounds in the words to confirm that their spelling of the words is correct.
- Answers: 1. The key is yellow. 2. The ruler is blue. 3. The cup is red.
- Show Ss the listening material, ask them to role-play the conversation with their partner.
- Ask Ss to listen and complete the chart.
- Before doing 3c, have Ss predict what they will hear in the recording. Ask Ss to guess what they will hear and write down three things and their colors in the chart. After completion of 3c, have Ss say whether any of their predictions were correct.
- Ask Ss to make conversations using the things in 3a-3c.
- After completing 3d, have Ss create conversations using real objects (things in the classroom). As a class, brainstorm or elicit a list of classroom objects and their colors. Write the objects and colors on the board. Have Ss use the conversation in 3d to help them discuss the things that are now listed on the board.
- Show pictures on PPT P11, ask Ss to describe the colors. T can make this as a competition.

- 5) 用在表示姓氏的复数名词前,表示“……夫妇”或 “……一家人”。
| | Step 4Presentation & Practice (4a-4d)
| | - Ask Ss to write the small letter next to each big letter. Then, number the letters A-Z and make them in order.
- Answers: Top row (left to right): q, w, e, r, t, y, u, i, o, p
- Middle row (left to right): a, s, d, f, g, h, j, k, l
- Bottom row (left to right): z, x, c, v, b, n, m
- Ask Ss to listen and sing the alphabet song. Tell Ss that letter “Z” is pronounced differently in American English (“zee”) and British English (“zed”).
- Ss can be encouraged to do peer-monitoring of their pronunciation.
- Have Ss work in pairs. First play the recording, which features native speakers, and then have one S in each pair repeat. The partner will then say how close his / her pronunciation is to the recording. Have Ss regularly work with different partners to allow them to hear variations in pronunciation. By doing this activity, T can also raise Ss’ awareness of common pronunciation errors.
- Ask Ss to listen and repeat the chant.
- T may want to make this activity more interesting by varying the chant. E.g. T can have Ss compete to say the chant as slowly as possible, as quickly as possible, as clearly as possible, as softly as possible or as loudly as possible.
