Ⅰ.Programmes for the Unit
1.Status and Function
The topic of the unit is spending time with friends.In this unit,students learn to ask and answer questions about ownership.The target language “Do you have a soccer ball?”is always answered with “Yes,I do” or “No,I don’t”.It’s never answered with “Yes,I have” or “No,I haven’t”.This is quite different from Chinese.Students must be given a lot of practice before grasping it.
(1)All the activities in the first period are designed to introduce the key vocabulary,names of sports,and the target language,yes/no questions and short answers.Then students are given much listening and oral practice to grasp them.
(2)In the second period,students are provided with more listening and oral practice using the target language.At the same time,students practice “Does he/she...?”questions.This is a little difficult.Students must pay attention.
(3)In the third period,students learn to make suggestions using “Let’s...” to have a good time with friends.
(4)In the fourth period,students learn descriptive adjectives such as boring,interesting first. Then students go on practicing making suggestions using “Let’s...” and giving responses using the adjectives.Such activities are helpful to raise learning interest of students and improve students’ spoken English.
(5)Students practice reading and writing using the target language in the fifth period.The pictures accompaning the activities make the reading and writing easier.
(6)In the sixth period,students are asked to put sentences in order to make a conversation.This is a reinforced practice using the target language.It’s helpful for students to better understand what they’ve learned in this unit and improve students’ reading skill. |
