Teaching steps；
Step 1Free talk
Get students to talk about the school lives in American and British schools. (It is a very important job for us to help the students feel familiar with the topic of the unit.)
2. Help the students focus on the subjects and the after-school activities by asking some questions:
(1) What subjects does John/Nancy have at his school?
(2) What did they do during their free time?
Step 2 Looking ahead
Inform the students with what they are going to learn in this period. In Unit One (8A), we have learned how to compare two things or more. Most adjectives then are used after a linking verb. In Unit Two, we will learn to talk about the amount of two things or more. It is the comparative and superlative use of adjectives that are used before nouns.
Show the pictures in Part A (P23) one by one. Ask the students to talk about the pictures.
Step 3 Comparing in pairs
Get the students to compare John’s school, Nancy’s school and Daniel’s school in pairs.
Step4 Talking about the school life
1.Get the students to talk about their school life by asking questions about subjects and the activities they do at school. Encourage the students to put down the information in the last column of the table. (Part A1)
1).How many subjects do we have? What are they?
2).What do you do at school, when you are free?
3).How much free time do you enjoy?
4).How long do you spend doing your homework?
2.Get the students to compare their own information with Nancy’s school, John’s school and Daniels school. We have too much homework to do. So we have less free time than John and Nancy. We have more subjects than Nancy.
Step5 Comparative and superlative adverbs
Tell students that we form comparative and superlative adverbs in the same way we form comparative and superlative adjectives.
Get students to learns rules of forming comparative and superlative adverbs
