1a
- Show ppt p7-8 to Ss, ask them to look at the pictures and answer the question:What did these kids use to like when they were young?
- Show the same pictures again. This time, ask Ss to check the things thy used to like when they were a child.
- (Tip: Ask Ss to share the answers with a partner.)
- Ask Ss to write down some other things they used to like when they were a child, then discuss in a group of four.
- (Tip: Show PPT P11 to Ss, tell them they need to take turns to interview others. T can use the example in PPT P12 to show how to do an interview.)
- Before playing the recording, tell Ss that the conversation is between a boy and a girl. Ask them to guess what the conversation might be about.
- (The class should know that the conversation has something to do with the topic of comparing what used to be with the present.)
- Tell Ss that they will have to listen for the exact sentences that they read in their textbooks.
- Answers: 1. I didn’t use to like tests. 2.I used to hate P.E. class.
- Before playing the recording again, get Ss to fill in their answers in the blanks and then exchange their textbooks with a partner.
- When playing the recording again, partners need to check their friend’s answers and mark the correct ones.
- (At the end of the recording, get them to return the textbooks and they can discuss the answers in pairs.)
- (Show Ss listening material when necessary.)
- Ask Ss to write down five things about themselves. Find a partner they have never worked with in the class. Share the five things both of them have written down. Compare what they have written: Are any the same? Are they all different?
- Ask Ss to use Venn Diagram to make comparison between themselves and their partners.
| | Step 3 Summary & Homework
|
| - Ask Ss to do the exercises from PPT P21-22.
- Preview the passage in Section B 2d.
- Do the exercises in students’ book.
| | Teaching Reflection
| In this period, the learning contents expand from talking about past appearance and personality to talking about likes and dislikes in former time. So students practice many other words in listening and speaking. The topic is still about their life in school. They will improve their capacity of language organization and oral output while listening and speaking practice. As usual, we can give them some written work to do after they practice listening and speaking.
We can give the work to use “get used to” and “used to” in order to get the students to compare the differences between the two phrases.
