Teaching Procedures Tips
Step 1 Lead in
Revision
T asks Ss to see the pictures on PPT P5-P8 and say the corresponding words so that
Ss can have a better review of what they have learned.
Lead in
Ss look at the chart on P9-P10 and make conversations in pairs based on the
information from the chart. The T can present the key sentence structures to help
Ss practice their oral fluency.
Step 2 Grammar learning
Grammar Focus
The T can ask Ss to read the sentences in the chart and pay
attention to their pronunciation and intonation. Then guide them
to understand how to answer these differewnt questions. Draw
their attention to the usage of the target structures.
At last the T can summarize the usage of the target grammar
1structure from several aspects.
Step 3 Presentation & Practice
3a
Ask Ss to fill in the blanks with what, who or why.
Answers: 1.Why 2.Who 3.What 4.Who 5.Why
(This part is very easy, T just asks Ss to answer one by one in a row or a line.)
Then the T can present some related pictures and elicit the similar
conversations from Ss.
3b
Ask Ss to write questions for the answers. Then the T can invite some
Ss to share their answers. When Ss share answers, T should ask them to
explain the reasons.
Answers:
1. Why does he like history
2. Which subject do you like
3. When is his Chinese class
4. What’s Mary’s favorite subject
5. Who is your geography teacher
3c
The activity is to help Ss use the target language correctly.
Teaching Tip: Doing Research
When doing an interview,survey or research activity the T may want to emphasize the
following things:
The S asking the questions should make eye contact and be friendly.
The S should try to remember each question,not just read the questions.
On hearing the answers,the S should take notes (i.e.not write complete sentences).
The S answering the questions should have his/her textbook closed.
To help Ss remember the questions,the T can have the whole class chant the questions
before starting the activity. The T could also have Ss practice writing the question in their
notebook before starting the activity.Many Ss find this a useful way to help them remember
new words and phrases.
Culture Focus: Miss, Mrs. or Ms.
The T may wish to make Ss aware of the differ- ences between Miss,Mrs.and Ms.
Miss: used to describe a single,unmarriedwoman
Mrs.:used to describe a married woman
Ms.:a neutral term to describe any woman.
