Teaching Procedures
| Tips
| Step 1 Free Talk
| | - The T can ask Ss to brainstorm kinds of family rules they have to follow at home and talk about these rules with partners. The T may use these prompts:
What rules do you have at home?
Do you have any rules about eating, sleeping, housework, homework, or making friends?
- For weak Ss, the T can present some related pictures about family rules and the target sentence patterns to guide them to speak as much as they can. Then elicit their opinions on these rules:
- Do you agree with these rules? Why or why not?
- Which of these rules do you think should be changed? Why?
| | Step 2Presentation
| | - This activity is to prompt Ss to think about rules that they do not agree with, so as to prepare them for the subsequent writing activity.
- The T nay have Ss work individually to complete the chart first before asking Ss to discuss what they have written with a partner. Encourage Ss to offer suggestions to improve each other’s notes.
| | Step 3 Writing
| | - The T make Ss read the expressions in 3b at first and then finish the writing task. Then the T can invite some Ss to share their writings and make the assessments.
- I do not agree with the rule that I must be home for dinner every day. This is because the rule affects my social life. It takes away opportunities for me to spend time with my friends. As a result, my life is quite boring sometimes. I think I should be allowed to have dinner with my friends once in a while.
- For example, I would like to hang out with my classmates after dinner on some Fridays. I hope my parents will allow me to do this if I promise not to stay out too late and if there is no important family activity on those days.
| | Step 4Self Check
| | - The part of Self Check is to provide a comprehensive review of key vocabulary and functions presented in the unit. Before asking Ss to do activity 2, the T may want to focus on modal verbs in the passive voice.
- ·Active voice — Modal verb + bare infinitive
- e.g.Parents should allow their teenagers to make some decisions on
- ·Passive voice — Modal verb + be + past participle
- e.g. Teenagers should be allowed to make some decisions.
- Ss can be asked to finish the task on their own and check their answers in pairs.
take photos
This is a good place for tourists to take photos.
do part-time work
It is common for university students to do part-time work to help pay for their studies
get ears pierced
I would like to get my ears pierced when I am twenty-one years old.
achieve my dream
I hope to achieve my dream of becoming a doctor.
go shopping
I go shopping with my parents every Saturday afternoon.
- After Ss finish the task, the T can ask them to brainstorm more common collocations with the six verbs (take /do /get /achieve /make /go). For example:
- achieve success/wealth/popularity
- go shopping/dancing/swimming/camping
make a choice/a decision/a mistake
do housework/chores/some cleaning/homework
take photos/take a seat/ take care of
get good grades/get things done...
- The T can ask Ss to look through the sentences in activity 2 to grasp the main idea. And then Ss finish the task individually and check their answers in pairs. The T can invite a few Ss to read aloud these sentences and translate into Chinese.
- 3.not be allowed 4.be put, not be encouraged
1.无论我们会遇到多少困难,我相信所有问题最终都会得到解决。
2.会议期间禁止使用手机。
3.必须禁止18岁以下的青少年吸烟或饮酒。
4.许多父母认为必须把上学的事情放在首要位置,因而不应鼓励青少年做兼职工作。
| | Step 5 Summary & Homework
| The homework can vary with the specific conditions.
| - Summary The T can encourage Ss to summarize the key points of this class to help Ss consolidate the knowledge.
- Preview Unit 8 Section A (1A-1C).
- Do the exercises in students’ book.
| | Teaching Reflection
| - Before students start writing, teachers should lead students to collect corpus, review and sort out vocabulary and sentence patterns related to writing topics, which is conducive to activating students' thinking and links of relevant knowledge, and prompting students to review and sort out the relevant materials read or discussed earlier in their mind for use in writing.
