Step 1 Revision
| |
- T asks Ss to see the pictures on PPT P5-P8 and fill in the blanks so that Ss can have a better review of what they have learned.
- T asks Ss to have a free talk with their partners about clothes.
(T can give a sample first, and Ss can have a free talk according to the sample. —What's this? / What are these?
—This is a shirt. / These are shoes.
—How do you spell it?
—S-H-I-R-T.
—How much is it? / How much are they?
—It's 10 dollars. / They are 10 dollars.)
| |
Step 2Grammar 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 when to use how much is and how much are. 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 read these words in the three boxes in 3a and translate them. Then
Ss do the task in 3a and the T can invite some Ss to share their answers.
Sample Answers:
How much is ...
| the this that
| yellow purple brown white green blue red black
| | How much are ...
| the those these
| | trousers shorts socks shoes
| Ask Ss tolook at the pictures and write the questions and answers.
(When Ss share answers, T should ask them to explain the reasons. Ss read the conversations and T explain the language points. After students share the answers, T can ask Ss to make a conversation in class.)
Answers:
1. It's five dollars. 2. It's ten dollars.3. It's six dollars.
4. How much are the socks? 5. How much is the sweater?
6. How much is the skirt?
The activity is to provide speaking practice with the target language.
Teaching Tip: Remember the Price
After completion of 3b, have Ss look at their books for one minute and try to memorize the prices of the six items of clothing. After one minute, have Ss close their books and stand. They must then answer the T’s question about the price of one item before they can sit down, e.g.
T: How much is the black hat?
S:It’s $5.

Teaching Reflection
| When explaining the sentence pattern what's the price of… this sentence pattern was not fully emphasized, so students made many mistakes when doing exercises. The grammar of this class is relatively simple. But I explained too much, which is a waste of time. Students should be allowed to do more exercises. Ss can master the usage though practice.
