Teaching Procedures
| Tips
| Step 1 Lead in
| 通过头脑风暴的形式，可以更好地激发学生对已知单词的总结和回忆，并且让他们快速融入课堂。
| - Show Ss teaching goals in this class.
T: Morning everyone. Today we are going to learn to talk about preferences and give reasons.
- Ask Ss to brainstorm different subjects.
T: How many subjects do you know? What are they in English?
((Students can brainstorm different subjects they know. T write them down on the blackboard.)
- Show Ss pictures on PPT P5-P7 and ask them to say the subjects.
(After that teacher can show students pictures and ask them to say the subjects in English. T can ask questions like: What subject is it in English? T can correct Ss’ pronunciation. Then T leads Ss to read the words and use syllables to spell the words. Ss can practice by themselves and try to write them down on the exercise books. Then ask Ss to read together to make sure Ss can read the words clearly.)
- Ask Ss to say the subjects in the pictures on P9.
(Ss say the words as quickly as they can. They can stand up and say the words. T can correct their pronunciation.)
- Ask Ss to talk about their favorite subjects.
(T asks Ss to talk about their favorite subjects and share reasons. The sentences patterns are as follows: My favorite subject is … because it is …)
| | Step 2Presentation & Practice
| 听力环节结束后的句型和单词练习帮助学生更好的掌握。
| Ask Ss to read these words in 1a and translate them. Then have Ss match the words with the pictures. The T can ask Ss to share their answers one by one.
Answers: 1. c 2. f 3. b 4. e 5. h 6. d 7. a 8. g
Then Ask Ss to have a memory challenge so that Ss can remember these
words quickly.
- T: Can you say all the subjects? Now let’s have a memory challenge. Choose one apple. Then say the subject behind it. Here we go.
- It can be helpful when learning new words to learn related words. Suggest and
- elicit words related to school subjects.For example:
- P.E.— running,soccer,gymnastics,badminton
- art—pottery,painting,drawing
- science—chemistry,biology,physics,microscope
- music—band,orchestra,musical instruments
- math—add(+),subtract(-),multiply(x),divide(÷)
- foreign languages—Chinese,Japanese,French
- geography—countries,oceans,mountains,rivers
- history—the past, famous people,memorable events
Paly the recording and have Ss listen and circle the subjects they hear in 1a. It may help Ss better understand the recording if the T asks Ss to look at the conversation in the picture and elicits from Ss the words that they will hear before the subjects are mentioned.
Answers: circled: art science music math
Ask Ss to listen again and fill in the blanks.
(After Ss share the answers, T can ask Ss to watch the video of 1b to help Ss to have a better understanding of the listening scripts. Ss can pay attention to the pronunciation and intonation.)
Ask Ss to practice the conversation with their partners. Ss can also make new
conversations based on their own ideas using the target language.
The T can also ask Ss to do an interview about their favorite subjects in their
groups and make a report.
T: Now here is a task for you. Move from your seats and interview five students about their favorite subjects. Then do a report for your classmates. Now let’s see who is the best reporter.
(Ss are encouraged to use the sentence patterns: What’s your favorite subject?
My favorite subject is … Ss can write down their answers in groups. When Ss are interviewing in their groups, T walks around and give guidance.)
- Ask Ss to review the subjects they have learned according to the pictures on P23 and make conversations in pairs on P24-27.
- Then the T can have Ss to talk about their preferences and give reasons using the given sentence patterns.
- A: What’s your favorite ...?
- Play the recording and ask Ss to listen and put the conversation in order. Then the T can check answers as a class.
- Teaching Tip :Logical Connections
- When Ss are asked to put a conversation in order, they are being asked to make logical connections (i.e. what is the likely reply or response to a given question).
- For a more challenging ordering task, ask Ss to order text that has no accompanying visual aids (i.e. a comic strip with speech bubbles). Try the following procedure:
- My favorite subject is P.E.
- What's your favorite subject?
- Explain that the sentences on the board are part of a conversation between two speakers: A and B.
- 3. Tell Ss to write the numbers 1-4 to put the sentences into order to make a conversation.
- 4. Give Ss time to do the activity.
- 5.Elicit the order. Also give Ss tips to show them how to do this kind of task more quickly.Show them how to look for repeated words in both the sentence and answer.
- what's your favorite subject? 1
- My favorite subject is P.E. 2
- The activity is to give Ss practice in listening for specific items in conversations. Teaching Tip: Say It in Many Ways
- To prepare Ss for what they might hear in a listening,you can raise their awareness that there are many different ways to say the same thing. Try this pre-listening activity.
- In activity 2b, the subject P.E. is matched with the description word “fun”. On the board, write the following to show Ss some ways in which these two words could be used together in a conversation.
- why do you like P.E.? P.E.is fun.
- Do you think P.E. is fun? Yes,I do.
- What do you think of P.E.? It's fun.
- What's your favorite subject? P.E.
- Do you like P.E.? Yes! It's really fun.
- The T could also write the questions and answers above omitting the
- words “P.E.”and“fun” and then have Ss complete the sentences.
- 3. music (e. relaxing), 4. P.E. (a. fun), 6.geography (d. difficult), 7.history (c.boring)
- The activity is to give Ss the opportunity to use the target language in a controlled manner.
- Teaching Tip: What's Your Favorite Sport?
- As a way to review vocabulary from previous units, write the following on the board:
- What's your favorite____?why?
- ·subject· sport· TV program· movie
- ·song· band· color· piece of clothing
- After Ss have done activity 2c,have them practice the same conversation with the words on the board.
| | Step 3Presentation & Reading
| | - The activity is to give Ss the opportunity to use the target language in a controlled manner.
- The T can ask Ss to read the conversation silently first and explain the
sentences that Ss can’t understand. Then the T can focus Ss’ attention on the
target structure appeared in the conversation and other key word groups. Ss
can be asked to make sentences using the key structure and phrases.Then the
T can make Ss read the conversation in chorus to check their pronunciation
and intonation. At last the T can invite some Ss to role-play the conversation
- Optional Approach:Enter Stage Right...
- In order to make the conversations feel more realistic, divide Ss into S1s and S2s. Have S1s stand in one part of the room. S2s should walk up to Sls and start the conversation. At the end of the conversation, Sls could say “See you Saturday!” and S2s could say “Bye!” Sls would then walk to different S2s and start the conversation from the beginning. When the Sls have changed partners three times,they can sit down. When all Sls are seated,have Sls and S2s change roles and repeat the activity.
| | Step 4 Exercises & Homework
|
| Exercises
- Ask Ss to do the exercises on PPT P43-P45.
- Ask Ss to make a summary about what we have learned today.
Homework
1. Read the conversation in 2d.
2. Do the exercises in students’ book.
| | Teaching Reflection
| The topic today is closely related to Ss’ life, so they are interested in this period. The activities help Ss to practice the sentence patterns well so they can master the target language well.
