Teaching Procedures Tips
Step 1 Warm-up & Revision
The T can make Ss to interview each other in pairs to express
their opinions about what teenagers should or should not be
allowed to do so that Ss can practice using the target structure.
The T can observe and give feedback. Pay attention to the
fluency of Ss’ speaking and accuracy of the target structure, but
don’t over correct Ss’ small mistakes so that Ss can speak as
1much as
possible.The T

Step 2 Grammar learning

Do you think teenagers should be encouraged to make their
own
decisions?

use a flash?

Grammar Focus
The T can ask Ss to read aloud the sentences in the chart,
observe these sentences and trying to find the rules about
the target structure. Ss can have a discussion to check their
findings in pairs.
At last the T can summarize the usage of the target grammar
structure from several aspects. The T can also explain how to
transform the two voices .

work
for their community.

idea. The T can also introduce the cultural background
information if necessary. Then Ss finish the task in 4b
individually and talk with their partners to check answers.
At last the T can present the correct answer.

The T can also assess Ss’ understanding of the passage by
asking some questions:

they are eighteen? Why do they do this?
Do teenagers move out in most Asian societies?
What do Chinese parents think about it?
What is common for teenagers in China? Why?

The activity is to reinforce the target language for talking
about what should or should not be allowed. The T can first
have Ss brainstorm: What do we always do in an English
club? The T can prompt Ss to use different phrases to list
different activities such as attending English corner, acting
out English plays, singing English songs, watching English
movies, reading English newspapers and so on.
4c Group work
Then the T can divide Ss into different groups and each
group discuss one activity listed before and decide on the
rules of doing these activities. Every group leader take down
the rules they have discussed. Then each group share their
group results and Ss take some notes so that every student
can list rules of the English club.
