Teaching Procedures Tips
Step 1 Warming up
Lead in Ask Ss to say the different colors in English. Match: What new colors can we get Ask Ss to think about: What color can we get if we mix red and white / red and blue / black and white together red + white = pink, red + blue =purple, black + white = gray Show Ss the Olympic rings and ask them to say the color of each ring. left to right: blue, yellow, black, green, red
Step 2 Presentation & Practice (1a-1c)
Pre-listening Show the picture of 1a to Ss, ask them to say the letters they see. 1a Ask Ss to look at the picture and write the letter for each color. T can check Ss’ comprehension of the colors by playing a quick game. T asks Ss to find something in the picture that is a certain color. Ss then list one or more things in the picture which are that color. While-listening 1b Instead of having Ss listen and then repeat in 1b, T can introduce to speech shadowing. Just as someone’s shadow follows closely behind them, in speech shadowing Ss try to shadow what the speaker is saying almost at the same time as it is being said. As such, Ss do not wait for the speaker to finish a sentence before repeating. Show PPT P12-P13, ask Ss to say the color of each item. Post-listening Ask Ss to make their own conversation following the example. To complete the conversation, elicit from Ss some items in your classroom and their colors. Remind Ss to choose a single countable item and to use the word “a” or “an” before the item as appropriate.
Step 3 Language points learning (1a-1c)
询问颜色：What color +be+主语（被询问的物品） 1) 句子的主语是单数时，be动词用is, 其答语为“It's+颜色.”。 2) 句子的主语是复数时，be动词用are, 其答语为“They're+颜色.”。
Step 4 Presentation & Practice (2a-2e)
Pre-listening Show PP P17, ask Ss to find the hidden letters (S-Z). While-listening 2a Ask Ss to listen and repeat the letters. Before Ss do activity 2a, have Ss review the letters A-R. With textbooks closed, elicit from Ss the letters A-R and write them on the board. Then have Ss stand and work in pairs to say A-R as quickly as possible. To make this more challenging, each S in a pair takes turns saying one of the letters. Start all Ss at the same time and ask them to sit when they have finished. 2b Have Ss take turns saying the letters while their partners write down the order in which the letters are said. Answers: Top row (left to right): 2, 8, 4, 6 Bottom row (left to right): 5, 7, 3, 1 Show PPT P20, ask Ss to say the letter they see quickly together. 2c Let Ss learn to write the letters. After completion of 2c, T can dictate the letters and have Ss try to write them. In order to vary the level of difficulty of the activity, T can choose to say the letters quickly or slowly and should change the order in which the letters are said. 2d Ask Ss to write the missing big letter or small letter for each pair. After completion of 2d, T can dictate big and small letters and give Ss time to write. T: 1. big W, 2. small s ... To make this more challenging, T can introduce the terms “capital letter” or “upper case” for big letters and “lower case” for small letters. Answers: Top row (left to right): w, T, s, X Bottom row (left to right): u, Z, y, V 2e Ask Ss to guess the meaning of each abbreviation. Answers: S / M / L: small / medium / large (You see these on clothing labels.) UFO: unidentified flying object CCTV: China Central Television (You see this on television. It shows which channel / station you are watching.) Give more abbreviations to Ss and let them guess the meanings. BBC: British Broadcasting Corporation NBA: National Basketball Association UN: United Nations IQ: intelligence quotient ID: identity card RMB: Renminbi UFO: unidentified flying object VIP: very important person EQ: Emotional Quotient IT: information technology WTO: World Trade Organization CCTV: China Central Television
