2. The suffixes “-ful” and “-less”
III. Focus of the lesson and predicted area of difficulty

IV. Teaching procedures
Step 1 Lead-in
1. Revise Reading
T: Linda went to the World Park together with the Class1, Grade8 students. What did they see in the World Park? What did they do there?
What do you think of the World Park? Is it wonderful?
(I think the World Park is wonderful. It shows us a colorful world. It is really meaningful to go there.)
2. Fill in the blanks
Sandy is so ______ that she makes few mistakes in her homework. (care)
Simon is ________ , so he always makes too many mistakes in her homework. (care)
Jack often helps those left-behind children. He is ________ (help), for he can imagine those children's feelings of being _________ (help).
Don’t argue(争论) with them. It’s ________ (use). Let’s do something ________ (use) to change that.
【设计意图】通过提问复习reading部分的内容，提问学生的感受，导入新课的话题鼓励学生积极思考，列举出更多的带有后缀的形容词。通过设计带有-ful和-less的题目，引导学生去观察、思考、感悟和猜测其词义，并且让他们找出构词的规律来，并激起学生学习的兴趣。
Step 2 Presentation
1. Explain the suffix “-ful”
(1) Ask students to find the similarity between careful and helpful.
(-ful means full of or having the qualities of).
(2) Give more examples, such as: Do you think English is useful? Surely it’s useful.
(3) Encourage students to think of more examples. (colourful, harmful, thankful …)
2. Explain the suffix “-less”
Tell students that –less means without. The two words with -ful and -less are usually opposite.
3. Ask students to learn the table on P39
【设计意图】引导学生自我探究、举一反三、触类旁通，发现列举形容词的共同点，并发现更多类似的词，启发引导学生回忆含有此类构词法的词汇。用归纳法教学组织引导学生自我发现语法规则，学生自己归纳出规则能够有效增强自信心和自主性。
Step 3 Practice
1. See and match
T: Can you find their friends quickly?
2. Work in pairs and complete the table below
T: We can add “-ful” or “-less” to some nouns to form adjectives，some nouns can only add “-ful”, and some can only add “-less”. If you cannot add “-ful” or “-less” to a word, put a cross in the box.
3. Finish Part B on P39
Complete what Kitty said about her trip to the World Park with the words in the box below.
4. Write the opposites of the adjectives
5. What can we also add to any other nouns to form adjectives? (Let students recall the words.)
(friendly, windy, excited, interesting)
【设计意图】给学生不同类型的练习来巩固所学知识,并故意设置noisy, 让学生推断并不是所有的形容词都是加-ful或者-less。
Step 4 Activities
1. One student says one adjective, other students say its opposite as quickly as they can.
2. Make up a story with five adjectives and their opposites on page 39 in groups.
3. Challenge
Each group can choose a level and get the points.
【设计意图】遵循任务梯度性原则，设计任务做到由易到难，由浅入深，让所有学生都能理解和掌握构词法。设计时以学生已有的知识经验和学习能力为基础，通过小组合作学习，学生的口语表达和交际能力也会有不同程度的改善或提高。
V. Homework
1. Remember the adjectives with ‘-ful’ and ‘-less’, and try to find more words of this kind.
2. Finish the writing and write it down.

We can add -ful or -less to some nouns to form adjectives. The suffix -ful means “full of”. The suffix
-less means “without”.Suffixes -ful and -less英语的后缀（suffixes）具有较强的语法作用，一般情况下，加在词语后面并不改变该词语的基本意义,而是引起词性的变化。
后缀-ful表示full of；-less表示without。这两个后缀都是加在名词后面构成形容词。cheerfulcolourfulhelpfuluselesscheerlesshelplessusefulmeaningfulmeaninglesscolourlessCan you find their friends quickly? 有些名词有后缀-ful构成的形容词, 但没有后缀-less构成的形容词；反之亦然。如：

Please try to use the adjectives with
-ful and -less !!! Yesterday, the students in Class 8, Grade 8 went on a trip to Shanghai by bus. We met at the school gate at 6:00 a.m. We were really cheerful on the bus, but the trip seemed endless. We arrived in Shanghai at 8:00 a.m. and visited many places of interest there. The flowers in the park were colourful and beautiful. We met a helpless boy who had lost his way. We helped him find his parents and Miss Zhang thought we were helpful. We had lunch in a tasteful restaurant and the food was tasty. We got home at 5:00 p.m. I thought it was a useful and meaningful experience. 1. Remember the adjectives with “-ful” and
