Step 1： Warm up& Revision ?
1. Free talk
T: Today, I want to have an interesting lesson with you. I want to see your smile. You see, I have a big smile. And I want to see your sparkling eyes. Ok?
T: Last lesson, we learned a story about animals. It was “ The lion and the mouse”. Could you tell me ‘Before reading the story, what are the lion and the mouse in your mind?’? For example, I think the lion is the king of the forest and the mouse is always afraid of the cat. What about you?
T: After learning the story, do you still think the mouse is always weak? Why?
2. Revision
a. Retell the story ( work in groups)
T: Do you still remember the whole story? Let’s try to retell it according to the illustrations. Here’s one tip for you. (We often use the past tense to retell the story.) T: Are you ready? This time, let’s try to retell the story in class. Each of us just say one or two sentences and let others continue. ?
Step 2： Presentation ?
1. Grammar time
a. Read and feel ( encourage students to recall the dialogue between the lion and the mouse in the text and appreciate the feelings behind their dialogue)
E.g:
T: Look at the little mouse, is he dancing? No, he is shaking. How did he feel at that time?
T: What about this lion? Yes, he was laughing. What made him so happy? Who’d like to be the lion and read this sentence?
T: Look at this lion, was he happy? Where was he? So what did he think? How did he say?
T: Finally, the mouse helped him. And they became friends. So the lion said happily. Let’s try together.
b. Think and discuss ( present the first part in Grammar time and encourage students to find out the structure of these sentences)
T: Can you tell me the structure of these sentences?
T: What are the adverbs for? ( present two sentences to contrast and help them better understand the role of the adverb)
T: Which one is better?
T: Great! Here are two choices, A is that they can make things clearly and orderly. B is that they can show the actions more vividly.
T: Congratulations! You are right. So we often use adverbs to modify verbs. Could you find that where do we often put adverbs?
c. Look, match and think
T: Just now, we talked about adverbs. Now let’s play a game and try to find their friends.
E.g: excited--excitedly
T: Can you find some rules?
d. Look, guess and say ( present some pictures and conceal some parts of the picture, then encourage students to guess )
2. Culture time a. Think and choose (present three choices: A. Aesop’s Fables B. Fairy Tales C. Chinese Idiom books)
T: We’ve talked about the story. But do you know where is the story from?
b. Know more in details ( encourage students to talk about some stories in these two books)
T: Do you find something in common?
T: What about their difference? I have some stories here, please judge whether it’s Aesop’s Fables or Chinese Idioms? Are you ready?
Step 3：Production ?

a. Introduce how to make a reading card
T: Today we’ve talked about many stories. Do you like stories? Do you often read stories? What do you often do after reading a story?
T: Do you know what do I usually do after reading a story?
T: I’d like to make a reading card. ( prensent one reading card about the lion and the mouse.)
T：Do you want to make one by yourself?

【教学反思】
教师在单词或词组的教学中，不能只是教读单词或词组。要循序渐进的插入本单元的重点句子，让学生在记单词或词组的过程中熟悉句子。这样能满足不同学习水平的学生的学习要求。根据学生的个人素质、性格特点、记忆力、反应速度等，因材施教，分层要求，以求通过最有效的激励机制促进学生进步。最后，在今后的每一节课中都要灵活运用所学句型，请学生造句，培养学生的创新意识。
