Teaching Procedures
| Tips
| Step 1 Warm-up & Revision
| | - The T can make Ss to interview each other in pairs to express their opinions about what teenagers should or should not be allowed to do so that Ss can practice using the target structure. The T can observe and give feedback. Pay attention to the fluency of Ss’ speaking and accuracy of the target structure, but don’t over correct Ss’ small mistakes so that Ss can speak as much as possible.The T can use the following chart to prompt:
| | Step 2 Grammar learning
| | - Ask Ss to find sentences with passive voice with modal verbs in Section A and the T may write them on the board. For example:
- I don't think 16-year-olds should be allowed to drive.
- Do you think teenagers should be encouraged to make their own
- Do you think we may be allowed to take photos if we don't use a flash?
- The T can ask Ss to read aloud the sentences in the chart, observe these sentences and trying to find the rules about the target structure. Ss can have a discussion to check their findings in pairs.
- At last the T can summarize the usage of the target grammar structure from several aspects. The T can also explain how to transform the two voices .
| | Step 3Presentation & Practice
| | - Ask Ss to finish the task in 4a quickly. Ss who finish can put up hands and the T can take down the time Ss spend and give positive feedback to those Ss who spend less time. The T can invite Ss to read aloud the sentences to check their answers as well as their pronunciation and intonation.
- Your bedroom must be cleaned every day.
- The housework will be done in the afternoon.
- Children should be encouraged (by their parents) to do social work
- Do you think teenagers must be kept away from the Internet?
- Teenagers should be given chances to make their own decisions.
- Ask Ss to look through the passage in 4b to grasp the main idea. The T can also introduce the cultural background information if necessary. Then Ss finish the task in 4b individually and talk with their partners to check answers. At last the T can present the correct answer.
- be asked, are allowed, be educated, start, move,take, continue.
- The T can also assess Ss’ understanding of the passage by asking some questions:
- What are teenagers allowed to do in western countries when they are eighteen? Why do they do this?
- Do teenagers move out in most Asian societies?
- What do Chinese parents think about it?
- What is common for teenagers in China? Why?
- The activity is to reinforce the target language for talking about what should or should not be allowed. The T can first have Ss brainstorm: What do we always do in an English club? The T can prompt Ss to use different phrases to list different activities such as attending English corner, acting out English plays, singing English songs, watching English movies, reading English newspapers and so on.
- Then the T can divide Ss into different groups and each group discuss one activity listed before and decide on the rules of doing these activities. Every group leader take down the rules they have discussed. Then each group share their group results and Ss take some notes so that every student can list rules of the English club.
| | Step 4 Language Points
| | ①by chance 偶然;意外
② have a chance to do sth.
=have a chance of doing sth.有机会做某事
③ have no chance to do sth.没有机会做某事
拓展:chance 作名词还可意为“可能性”,此时既可作可数名词,又可作不可数名词。后常接of doing sth. 或that 引导的同位语从句,表示“做某事的可能性”。
- make one’s own decision 自己做决定
make one’s own decision to do sth.= make up one’s mind to do sth.= decide to do sth. for oneself 意为“自己决定做某事”。其中的one’s 要根据主语的不同换成适当的形容词性物主代词。
- manage v. 完成( 困难的事);应付 (困难局面) 其词形变化有:
manager n . 经理 management n . 经营
常用结构:
manage to do sth. 设法做成某事,多指目标明确、经过努力成功地做成某事。
| | Step 5 Summary & Homework
| | - Summary The T can encourage Ss to summarize the key points of this class to help Ss consolidate the knowledge.
- Preview the new words and phrases in Section B(1a-1e).
- Do the exercises in students’ book.
| The homework can vary with the specific conditions.
| Teaching Reflection
| - The group work activity in 4c can help achieve the following purposes: 1) check the students' attention in class and whether they listen to the students' report carefully. 2) Cultivate students' short-term attention and shorthand skills, and train them to record key words while listening. 3) Check and cultivate students' awareness of lexical chunks and their ability to form words into sentences. All in all, to enable students to master the grammatical structure, they should practice and use the grammatical structure repeatedly in different contexts for the purpose of communication. We must effectively improve students' participation and frequency, carry out various activities and ensure students' real participation.
