Step 1 Lead in
Warm up
Ask Ss to do Q&A on PPT P5-P6.
Q1: What day is it today?
Q2: What classes do you have today?
Q3: What do you think of these subjects?
(When they answer the questions, the sentence patterns must be used: It is Monday
today. We have P.E. and art. I think Chinese is interesting. This part is very easy for
Ss, so T can also ask Ss to answer directly.)
Lead in
T asks Ss to make a conversation in pairs.
(Ss are encouraged to use the follwoing sentence patterns: 1. What's your favorite
subject? My favorite subject is art. 2. Why do you like art? Because it's fun. 3. Who
is your art teacher? My art teacher is Miss Brown. 4. When is your art class? It's on
Wednesday. 5. When is your art class? It's on Wednesday.)

Try playing a fun word game using opposite words.Have all Ss stand up.
Start the game by setting the challenge, give a word (e.g.hot) and nominate one
S to give you the opposite word. If the S gives the correct opposite
(e.g.cold),they can sit down,but not before setting the new challenge (i.e.they
give a new word and nominate a classmate to give the opposite word).The
game continues until all Ss are sitting
down.If you have a large class,allow Ss to repeat words.
Answers: boring <>interesting, cool,fun; difficult<>easy; busy <>free
1b
The activity is to give Ss practice recognizing the target language in
conversations. The T cam play the recording and ask Ss to do the task
in 1b. Then check answers as a class.
The T can also try a more challenging listening activity after
completing 1b.
Follow this procedure:
1.Listen again and have Ss write what subjects David uses the checked words
(i.e.difficult,interesting) to describe.
2.As Ss listen,have them write the subjects next to the checked words.
3.Elicit and check the answers,and then write them on the board.
4.Explain to Ss that they had to listen very carefully because David also talked
about what his father thinks (i.e.His father thinks math is interesting but David
does not).
Answers: difficult ; interesting
1c
The activity is to give Ss practice in reading and listening for specifc
items in conversations.
Teaching Tip: Reading Aloud Before Listening
In order to make it easier for Ss to do the activity, give them time to
read and
understand the schedule first.This can be done by having Ss read the schedule
silently or aloud and answer the following questions on the board:
T:Look at the schedule and answer the questions with a partner.
21.What month does the schedule show?
2.What days does the sehedule show?
3.What dates does the schedule show?
4.What times does the schedule show?
5.What does a.m.mean?
6.What does p.m.mean?

Wednesday:08:00 chinese
Thursday:09:00 Chinese,10:00 Chinese
Friday:08:00 Chinese
1d
The activity is to provide speaking practice with the target language.
Culture Focus: What's Your Favorite Class?
When Ss in the US talk about school,they often refer to specific classes by
the Ts rather than subjects because they have a high regard for the Ts.Ss often
express a preference for a subject because they enjoy the way it is taught
(i.e.the T is able to make the subject interesting).
Answers:
A:What's David's favorite subject?
B:Chinese.
A:Why does he like Chinese?
B:Because it's interesting.
A:When is the class?
E:It's on Monday W ednesday,Thursday and Friday .
