一、Teaching process design
Step 1: Warming up
Greeting and review what we learnt last week.
Practice the target language in Unit 5, do some oral work with students to create an English speaking environment.
A: Can you go to the concert? Here is a ticket for it.
B: Sure, I’d love to. How about you?
A: I’m sorry I can’t.
B: Why not?
A: I have to help my parents
B: Thanks for asking.
Step 2: Lead-in
Bring out a ticket for tonight’s concert and show it to the class. Introduce the topic “Can you go to the concert this evening?” by pointing to students. Ask students to answer: Sure, I’d love to. Then ask students why you’d love to. Guide students to answer: Because this is a popular concert. There are different kinds of famous persons in the school band.”
Step 3: Look, Listen and Write
1a provides guided looking and writing practice using the target language. The teacher asks students to look at the picture on P31, and asks students some questions about the picture like this:
T: Where are Mike’s family going this evening?
S: To the concert of the school band .
T: What can they see in the concert?
S: Some students.
T: What are the students doing?
S: They are playing in a band.
T: Who are they?
S: They are Tara, Tina, Tom, Sam, Pedro and Paul.
T: Can Mike’s mother recognize them by their appearances? Please work with your partners and talk about what they look like instead of Mike and his mother.
The teacher moves around the room and gives some help as needed. Ask pairs of students to show their works. Praise them for their performance.
Then ask students to match the words in activity 1a with the opposite to finish the task. tall—short, thin—heavy, calm—wild, long hair—short hair,
Then teach the new words twice. Then get students to change these words into the comparison. taller—shorter, thinner—heavier, calmer—wilder
longer hair—shorter hair, Check the answers with students.
1b provides students with listening practice in understanding the target language in spoken conversation, and recognizing the target words by pronunciation.
Ask students, “Who is Tina?” Then help students to answer, “The girl beside Tara.” The teacher ask, “Is it hard to tell them from each other?” Students answer, “Yes.” And then ask, “Do you think they are twins?” Students answer, “Yes.” At last ask them to listen to the tape carefully and number the pairs of twins (1-3) in the picture.
Play the recorder and then check the answers to finish 1b.
Step 4: Practice with pair work
Ask students if they have any twin friends. And ask them how to tell the twin friends from each other. Then students start oral practice using the target language from 1c with the following sample like this:
A: Is that Tara?
B: No, it isn’t. It’s Tina. Tara is shorter than Tina.
A: (Pointing to Tom) Is that Sam?
B: No, it isn’t. It’s Tom. Sam is wilder than Tom.
Then ask students to work in pairs and practice the conversation in the picture above. Then make conversations about the other twins. While students are working, the teacher is moving around the room giving some help as needed. Ask pairs of students to show their works. Praise them for their good works.(finish 1c)
Step 5: Listen and talk about vacation activities
The teacher explains that 2a provides guided listening practice using the target language. Let students learn to gain information from listening.
Tell students that comparisons of adjectives ended with –er/ ier which sounds[].Students listen carefully to the recorder and tell which words in the box used with “-er/ier” or “more” And fill in the chart on the left. Check the answers with students in 2a:
“-er /-ier”: funny , quiet, smart; “more”: serious, outgoing, athletic.
Tell students that 2b shows us how Tina and Tara are different. Ask students to focus on the differences between the twin sisters and fill in the chart. Look at the picture and listen to the recording once more. And then check the answers with the whole class like this: “Tina is funnier than Tara.” (finish 2b)
Step 6: Group work
2c provides guided oral practice making a comparison.
The teacher asks students to work in pairs. One student looks at the chart in 2c and the other looks at the chart on Page 89. Ask and answer questions about Sam and Tom. Note:*** means Sam is taller than Tom.
A: Is Tom smarter than Sam?
B: No, he isn’t. (Write down: Tom * and Sam ***)
(Ask back) Is Sam taller than Tom?
A: Yes, he is. (Write down: Tom * and Sam ***)
(Ask back) Is Tom more athletic than Sam?
B: Yes, he is. (Write down: Tom *** and Sam*)
Then ask students to work in pairs and make “ask and answer” . And then write down the information in the chart. The teacher moves around the room and gives support as needed. Then ask pairs of students to act out their dialogue in front of the class by checking the answers.
