一、自主学习
1. Group Work: Think and share.
1) Students underline the most and least convincing words in the text that Jemima Gryaznov puts forward using two different colours.
2) Students discuss what methods she uses to convince others and share their answers in small groups.
3) Challenge students in each group to convince one another of each answer that is being questioned.
Conduct a class survey to find the most and least convincing answer shared by the majority of students.
4) Assign groups of students to search online for additional information that could beer support or deny this answer.
2. Find words and phrases to replace underlined words.
1) Revise synonyms with students. In pairs, students replace the underlined words and phrase with the words from the text. Remind students that the meaning must be similar.
2) Help students who are struggling by giving the first letter of the word or the paragraph number where the word can be found.
3) Read aloud the sentences and pause before each item for students to call out the answer in chorus.
4) Encourage students to provide their own words or expressions for the underlined part in the sentences.
3. Find subjects and use the correct verbs to complete sentences.
1) Write this example on the board: “We remembers things that have strong connections in our mind.” Ask students to think whether there’s anything wrong with the sentence (the verb “remembers” should be plural to match the subject “we”.) Ask students to correct the mistake, i.e., change the verb to “remember”.
2) Explain to students that in English the verb always needs to match the subject in terms of singular/plural form and that this is called “subject–verb agreement”. Find out whether this is the case in the students’ first language.
3) Point out that the -ing form of verbs, when used as a subject, is considered as singular.
4) Revise subjects of the sentence with students; the subject of a sentence is the person, place, thing, or idea that is doing or being something.
5) Read the sentence frames in the Sentence Builder. Independently, students complete the task. Remind students to first circle the subject in each sentence.
6) In pairs, students read their answers and listen if they sound correct.
7) Review the answers as a class.
4. Group Work: Read the tips and discuss the most/least useful ones.
1) In small groups, students read and discuss the tips.
2) Each student explains, with reasoning, which is the most and least useful tips for learning English.
3) Conduct a class survey to find out the most and least popular tips of all.
二、归纳总结
主谓一致即谓语动词在人称和数上要和主语保持一致,主谓一致包括语法一致、意义一致和就近一致。语法一致即谓语动词在单复数形式上要和主语保持一致;意义一致就是谓语动词要和主语意义上的单复数保持一致;就近一致就是谓语动词要和靠近它的主语部分的单复数保持一致。
三、针对训练
单句语法填空
①Neither Tom nor his parents are (be) at home.
②Not only I but also David and Iris are (be) fond of playing basketball.
③Either you or I am (be) going to the teachers’ office after class.
④There is a pen,an ink bottle,and some books on it.There are some bowls,plates and a spoon on it.(be)
