Teaching Procedures	Tips
Step 1 Warming up
Review Show Ss pictures of different types of TV shows one by one. Ask them to say the name of each TV show in English. Brainstorm Show the pictures of different types of movies to Ss. Ask them to think about what kind of movie it is. (cartoon, action movie, comedy, science fiction, documentary, war movie, disaster movie, scary movie) Ask Ss to look at the pictures on PPT P9. Remind Ss to pay attention to each person’s facial expression or body language. Encourage Ss to guess people’s feelings when watching these types of TV shows. (educational, serious, wonderful, relaxing, meaningless, enjoyable, exciting, boring)
Step 2Presentation & Practice
Pre-listening 1a Ask Ss to choose words from the box and write them under the pictures. Tip: Before Ss do activity 1a, T may want to make sure Ss really understand the descriptive words in the box by writing each of the words on the board and eliciting from Ss an activity that matches each of the words. E.g. Descriptive word Activity educational reading a book (in English) serious listening to parents talking wonderful going to the park relaxing listening to music meaningless playing computer games enjoyable playing sports exciting watching an action movie boring sleeping all day Answers will vary. Make a conversation Show the sample conversation on PPT P13 to Ss. Ask them to pair up and make a new conversation using the information in activity 1a. While-reading 1b Playing the recording, ask Ss to circle the description words they hear in the box in 1a. Tip: Ss may not understand the meaning of “description words” and think they should circle the types of TV shows listed in activity 1a. So, T may want to make sure that Ss know what “description words” refer to before doing this activity. 1c Play the recording again, let Ss write down the words John and Mary use to describe the TV shows or movies. Tip: When finished this activity, ask Ss to make a comparison of John’s and May’s descriptions. They can show their answers like this: John thinks action movies are exciting, but Mary thinks they are meaningless ... Answers: Show the listening material and let Ss to role-play the conversation. Post-listening 1d Ask Ss to tell their partner what John and Mary like to watch and why. Then tell their partner what they like to watch and why. In order to make this activity more exciting, T may want to have Ss practice the following type of conversation: A: I like to watch action movies. B: Why? A: I’ll give you three guesses. B: Because they’re exciting. A: No. Try again. B: Because they’re interesting. A: No. You have one more guess. B: I give up. A: OK. Because they’re free! B: Free? A: Yes. My dad loves action movies so he always takes me to the movie theater to see them. I don’t pay anything. Group work Ask Ss to do a survey about what TV shows or movies their classmates like to watch and why.
Step 3 Language points learning
