In general
This section Word Power deals with the definition of abstract nouns, different ways to form abstract nouns from verbs and adjectives by adding suffixes and words related to computers. The main purpose of this period is to activate Ss’ prior associated knowledge and learn to form abstract nouns from verbs and adjectives by adding suffixes. It also attempts to let Ss know some words related to computers and to apply them practically. First, Ss will translate some nouns and get the meaning of abstract nouns by comparison. With the help of some tables, the rules of forming abstract nouns are to be showed to the Ss. After some time allowed for their quick memorizing, Ss are required to summarize the rules. Next, more practice can be fulfilled as consolidation exercises, through some interactive activities like discussing the correct answers with the words in the blanks. Then some pictures and new words related to computers such as printer, floppy disk and so on are to be presented afterwards. Finally, let Ss have a competition.

In detail
Step 1 Revision (2 minutes)
Draw Ss’ attention to how to form abstract nouns by asking What are abstract nouns
1.Ss are expected to translate the words 信息,现实,疲倦,幸福,成就,动作、移动,方向,争论 appeared in Reading passage into English .
2.Show Ss the correct answers : information, reality, tiredness, happiness, achievement, movement, direction, argument.
Step 2 Presentation (8 minutes)
1.Ask Ss to compare the following two groups of words to decide which part of speech each word is and think about the similarities and differences between the two groups.
Group 1: information, reality, tiredness, happiness, achievement, movement, direction, argument.
Group 2: house, milk, driver, game
All the words are nouns, but words in Group 1 refer to ideas, actions and qualities called abstract nouns which we use to say something we can’t see or touch directly and those in Group 2 refer to physical things.
2.Encourage Ss to brainstorm as many abstract words as possible .
Examples: direction, judgment, dependence, assistance, failure, loyalty, cruelty, civilization, illness, performance, admiration, training…
Step 3 Forming Abstract Nouns (20 minutes)
Ask Ss to categorize the words on the screen according to the suffixes used at the end of the words and help Ss see what words they are and which part of speech they are if the suffixes are removed.
1.We can form abstract nouns from some verbs and adjectives by adding suffixes.
1) adjectives → abstract nouns
Nouns Adjectives Suffix
loyalty loyal -ty
illness ill -ness
2) verbs → abstract nouns
Nouns Verbs Suffix
direction direct -tion
movement move -ment
dependence depend -ence
performance perform -ance
failure fail -ure

2.Tips:
1)
2) Most abstract nouns are uncountable, only a few of them are countable:
hope→ a hope; idea→ a idea; situation→ a situation
youth(青春)→a youth(青年人); power(电力)→a power(大国);

2. Try to find more information about computer science.
3. Preview Grammar and usage.
Feedback
Mine
As this period deals with many new abstract words formed by adding suffixes or related to computer science and most of the words are not included in the wordlist, Ss are expected to learn and digest them in class. In this case, practicing memorizing and using them should be the key task of this period. In fact, it was. The practice doing in this period proved to be beneficial to Ss’ digestion. And, of course, for some students, abstract words are too difficult to understand. They are accustomed to seeing objects while memorizing some words. So pictures and objects are helpful for them. Also interactive activities like competition surely can arouse their interest in learning. If we want all the Ss to meet the objectives, it calls for patience and persistence.
