| | Step 4 Summary & Homework

| - Summary The T can encourage Ss to summarize the key points of this class to help Ss consolidate the knowledge.
- Preview Unit 6 Section A (1A-1C).
- Do the exercises in students’ book.
| | Teaching Reflection
| - The grammar in the unit is the passive voice.And this is difficult for students.So in the last period of the unit，it is important to get students to use what they have learned.While we are practicing words and expressions about the main topic, the teacher should help students review the structure of the passive voice.Before the students begin to write,get them to ask and answer in speaking practice.And tell them to do more practice after school.
