Teaching Procedures Tips
Step 1 Warming up
Think-Pair-Share
Step 1: Show Ss the questions: What sport do you like? What do
you know about this sport?
Step 2: Give Ss thinking time to think about the questions.
Step 3: Ask Ss to pair up and share their answers.
(Tip: T can give some clues to Ss using the thinking map. Ss are
encouraged to talk more about what they know about the sports
they like.)
Step 2 Presentation & Reading
Pre-reading
Show Ss two pictures of the famous basketball players. (Tracy
McGrady, Yao Ming, Kobe Bryant) Ask them to tell who they
1are and which sport these two pictures can remind them of.
2a
T shows Ss the KLW chart and explains the meaning that each
letter represents for.
(T represents “ What have you known about basketball?” W
represents “What do you want to know about basketball?” L represents
“What did you learn about basketball in this lesson?”)
Ask Ss to think about the questions in 2a and fill in “K” and
“W” in the chart.
Ask Ss to find a partner, share their ideas with their partners.
(Answers can be varied.)
While-reading
Ask Ss to read the passage quickly and underline the words:
much-loved, competing team, NBA, CBA.
Ask Ss to guess the meaning of each word using the clues from
the context.
(Tip: T can ask Ss to write down their answers first and then
discuss in a group of four. T can ask each group to choose a best
answer and share their answers to the class. Encourage Ss to
explain how they guess the meaning from the context if possible.)
2b
Ask Ss to read the passage quickly and find out the main idea
of each paragraph.
(Tip: Reading quickly is like skimming a passage. Skimming skills
can only improve with practice. The T may wish to give Ss a short
time frame to look at the passage. The more time Ss are given, the
more likely they will read the passage rather than skim the
passage.)
2Answers: paragraph 1 — Introduction to basketball
paragraph 2 — How basketball was invented
paragraph 3 — The popularity of basketball today
2c
Encourage Ss to complete the mind map without looking at the
passage.
(Tip: T can ask Ss to check each other’s answers with their
partners. Or T can ask Ss to look at the passage and do a self
check.)
Answers:
Game: floor, two, the ball, basket
Development: Dr. James Naismith, December 21, 891, Berlin, 1936,
NBA, CBA
Popularity: more than 100 million, 200
2d
Ask Ss to use the mind map to summarize what they remember
about the development of basketball.
(Tip: Using the questions in the textbook, ask each S in a pair to
come up with one sentence that would summarize a key point in
the passage. Each sentence should be answer to the question posed.
Tell Ss that they will have to answer in such a way that when they
put all the answers together without the questions, it should flow
properly and make sense to someone who has not read the passage.)
Answers:
1. Dr. Naismith invented basketball. There are two teams and
players on the same team must work together to get the ball into
the other team’s basket.
2. The first basketball game in history was played on December 21,
31891.
3. The Berlin Olympics was important because basketball
became an Olympic event then.
4. The professional basketball groups are the NBA in America
and the CBA in China.
5. Basketball is played by more than 100 million people in over
200 countries.
Step 3 Language points learning
much-loved adj. 深受喜爱的,此结构是由“副词 + 过去分词”构成的
形容词。
非限定性定语从句是先行词的一个附加修饰语，对先行词只起进一
步说明的作用，有时对于主句做进一步说明，因此通常用逗号把它
和其他句子分开。
divide... into...的意思是“把......分成......”。divide 和 separate 的区别
是：
divide 指把一个整体分为若干部分，常与 into 搭配。separate 指把原
来在一起的个体分开，常与from搭配。
stop ... from ...的意思是“阻止......做......”，与其意思相近的是 keep
sb. from doing sth.，也表示“阻止某人做某事”。
look up to 的意思是“钦佩；仰慕”, 相当于 admire，其中 to 为介
词，其后可接名词或代词作宾语。
Step 4 Summary & Homework
Post-reading
2e
In pairs, get Ss to think about the pros and cons of being a
famous basketball player.
(Tip: Challenge Ss to come up with at least five of each and share
these with another pair.)
Show Ss the KWL chart which they saw at the beginning of the
class again. Ask them to finish the “L” and share with their
partners.
Summary
Activity
Ask Ss to think of an object they want to invent. They need to tell
the name, the usage, the price and appearance of the invention.
Challenge Ss by asking them to write an instruction and draw a
picture for the invention.
4Ss can either choose to do this activity by themselves or with
partners.
Homework:
Preview 3a-Self Check in Section B.
Do the exercises in students’ book.
This is a period in which students do more practice in reading. The teacher
should practice the students’ ability of reading quickly and efficiently.
While reading, help the students learn how to catch the main idea and the
most important ideas as quickly as they can by mind－mapping. They learn
Teaching
some new words and new language items when they are finishing the tasks
Reflection
and reading the article again and again.
Understanding how to use the passive voice is still the difficult point in this
period. Students can find the sentences in the passive voice and learn to use
them when talking about the game.
