VI. Teaching Procedures
Step 1: Lead-in (5 minutes)
1. Show some pictures related to different festivals and ask students to describe them using simple sentences.
2. Then ask students a few questions such as "What do you think of this festival " and "Do you know if there are any special activities during this festival " to lead to the topic of object clauses.
Step 2: Grammar Focus Presentation (20 minutes)
1. Present the object clauses introduced by "that"
Write some sentences on the blackboard, such as "I believe (that) everyone can do it." and "She said (that) she would come and that she would also bring her son." Explain that "that" is often omitted when it is used after the verbs like "believe", "think", "know", "say", etc. except in some specific situations.
Ask students to make some sentences using "that" and share them with the class.
2. Present the object clauses introduced by "if/whether"
Show sentences like "He didn’t know if/whether Alice would come to the party." Explain the meaning and usage of "if/whether" and the differences between them.
Give students some situations and ask them to choose whether to use "if" or "whether" to complete the sentences.
3. Explain the word order of the object clauses
Write an incorrect sentence with wrong word order on the blackboard and ask students to correct it. Then emphasize that the object clauses should follow the declarative word order.
Have students practice transforming questions into object clauses to consolidate the word order rule.
4. Explain the tenses of the object clauses
Illustrate the tense rules through examples. For example, when the main clause is in the present tense, the object clause can use any needed tense; when the main clause is in the past tense, the object clause needs to use the corresponding past tense. However, if the object clause expresses an objective truth or fact, it uses the present tense regardless of the tense of the main clause.
Provide some exercises for students to practice choosing the correct tense in the object clauses.
Step 3: Practice (15 minutes)
1. 4a
Have students look at the given words and phrases in 4a and write sentences using the object clauses.
Invite some students to share their sentences on the blackboard and correct them together.
2. 4b
Ask students to read the passage about Mother's Day and Father's Day in the United States and underline the object clauses.
Have students discuss in pairs and try to explain the usage of the object clauses they found.
Then ask students to write their own sentences about Mother's Day and Father's Day using the object clauses.
Step 4: Exclamatory Sentences Presentation (15 minutes)
1. Present exclamatory sentences introduced by "how" and "what"
Show some examples of exclamatory sentences on the multimedia, such as "What a funny girl (she is)!" and "How fantastic (the dragon boat races are)!" Explain the structures and functions of "how" and "what" in exclamatory sentences.
Ask students to observe the examples and summarize the rules of using "how" and "what".
2. Practice
Give students some pictures or situations and ask them to make exclamatory sentences using "how" and "what".
Have students work in pairs and take turns to make and guess the exclamatory sentences.
Step 5: Consolidation and Extension (20 minutes)
1. Group Work
Divide students into groups of four. Ask each group to create a dialogue that contains both object clauses and exclamatory sentences. The dialogue can be about a festival or a memorable event.
Have each group present their dialogue to the class and other groups give comments.
2. Writing Task
Ask students to write a short composition about their favorite festival, using at least three object clauses and two exclamatory sentences.
Collect the compositions and provide feedback to students.
Step 6: Summary and Homework (5 minutes)
1. Summarize the key points of the lesson, including the rules of object clauses and exclamatory sentences.
2. Assign homework: Ask students to review the grammar points and do some exercises related to object clauses and exclamatory sentences. Also, ask them to prepare a presentation about a traditional festival in their hometown for the next class.
