Step1 Lead-in
After greeting friendly the whole class in everyday English, we can come to the first step: lead-in.
First of all , I divide all the students into 5 groups, let them have a pk. Then we sing and dance together an English song called “what do you like to do”. It makes us relaxed and closed to our today`s topic “how was your weekend ” This time I ask the students to guess what I like to do in my free time. Encourage most of the students to describe their own weekends by themselves in English According to my answers. It can help students to review the past knowledge , at the same time, tell them clearly our next tasks in this class.
Step2: Free talk
Show a list of pictures about myself and my children on the blackboard. Ask students to talk about the activities.
T: Boys and girls , what other kinds of interesting work can we students do I’ll show you some pictures. Find your partner and make new conversations each other.
Help the students to master the grammar. Put up some grammar on the blackboard. The purpose of my design is to attract students` attention to this class and use correct tense to make sentences. In fact, students in my class did show great interest in this part and remembered the words in a very short time. The smile on their faces proved it.
Step3: learn new lesson
Ask the students to open their books and turn to page 24 .
1. Fast reading and know the general ideas about this e-mail ,find these three questions` answers and write them on the paper sheet ,at last check the answers together.
2. careful reading with 5questions
I advise two students every group to discuss the importance and difficulties about these questions. underline or circle some key sentences that you don`t understand .At the same time, pronunciation is also very important
3.We all check these questions together carefully and make some special examples about difficult phrases and grammar for the students` understanding well.
4 .Listening and reading
Listen to the tape quietly and read loudly after this .After practicing a while , two students and I read this e-mail emotionally in front of the classroom. Let students feel the charming of English and love deeply to learn well language. Because as we know the interest is the best teacher.
The purpose of my design is to give students a whole understanding about this e-mail, make sure everyone can read it fluently. Make a preparation for retelling it well.
Step4: retell
I tell this email in my own words to all the students after studying this lesson .The best way we study---share our knowledge and feelings to others in time. Then encourage them to retell today` English to their parents and good friends by this mind—map on the blackboard. I want to set up a positive value for them. Because it is a virtue and healthy for us to share our happiness and sadness by using new sentences and grammar as more as possible.
Step5:structures of an e-mail or a postcard
After learning something about this email, Discuss what an email is how to write a complete e-mail correctly . (a good head , a good body, a wonderful tail). I read an e-mail I write to my friend Danny for all students. This can help students to improve their mastering of the difficulty points.
Step7: play a game
Everyone has different interesting things to do after classes. This weekend is coming in two days .What are you going to do Who are you going to go Where are you going to go......... Now every group can choose one theme from the blackboard and discuss with the other 5 students in the same group. We are going to look for the best two groups to show themselves for us .these all students can get a gift. Good Luck
The purpose of my design is to strengthen the target language and deepen the essence of Chinese students` spoken English and make study enjoyable.
