Teaching Procedures
| Tips
|
Step 1 Lead in
| |
- The T can tell Ss to bring their family photos to school and make them introduce their family members in the photos in pairs. The T can make a sample first:
- Those are my grandparents.
- And I have a dog. Its name is Pipi.
| |
Step 2 Grammar learning
| |
- The T can ask Ss to read the sentences in the chart and pay attention to their pronunciation and intonation. Then guide them to distinguish how to introduce people and identify people. Draw their attention to the usage of the target language.
- At last the T can summarize the usage of the target grammar structure from several aspects.

Step 3Presentation & Practice
| |
- Ask Ss to fill in the blanks in 3a. Then Ss can check answers with partners. At last the T can choose some Ss to role-play the dialogue to make sure they get the correct answers.
- If possible, the T can ask Ss why they choose the answer. If Ss have problems, the T should explain the related knowledge clearly.
- A: That is my family. That’s my mother.
- A: He’s / He is my father.
- B: And who are/who’re they?
- A: They’re(They are) my grandparents.
- Ask Ss to look at the picture in 3b and try to figure out the relations of the people in the picture. Ss can write the family role beside each member.
- Ask Ss to make sentences individually using the words in the three boxes to introduce these people in the picture. Then Ss can check their answers by making conversations in pairs.The T can make assessments and pay attention to the subject-verb
- agreement in Ss’ sentences. At last, the T can also choose some Ss to read their sentences in class.
- This is my brother/sister/father/mother.
- That is my brother/grandmother/grandfather.
- Those are my grandparents.
- The activity is to give Ss the opportunity to use the target language correctly. The T can ask Ss to work in groups of four. Then Ss in each group take turns to ask and answer questions according to the family photos they bring to class. The the T can invite one or two group to present all the process of the group task. The other Ss must listen carefully and take notes of the information about the people in those pictures. At last, the T can choose some Ss to answer some questions about what they hear.

|
Teaching Reflection
| - The common mistake students make in learning this unit is to use this and that when introducing two or more people at the same time. Teachers can remind students with examples, and ask students to read and practice more to cultivate their sense of language, so as to avoid similar mistakes.
