today i’m going to talk about my teaching plan for part a of unit 8, oxford english 5a. according to the title of this unit, we know this dialogue is related to a camping trip.
first of all, we should have a clear idea about the teaching content and the aims of this lesson. part a “read and say” is intended for the students to talk about the things they need for a camping trip. the camping trip is really an attractive topic for everyone. we can reorganize the lesson by different class activities with a lot of fun.
the students are expected to learn the sentence patterns “you have… and i have… we have… and they have…what does he/she have? he/she has…what do they have…they have…” they may have problems with “have” and “has”. with various activities, we should develop the students’ communicative skills.
second, i’m going to tell you something about my teaching procedures.
to lead in this topic, i’ll begin the lesson with a talk about different weathers. let the students make choices about their favorite weather. i think most the students think sunny days are the best. naturally, i can ask the reason why they like sunny days best. i may ask like this “what can you do on sunny days?” it helps the students use their imaginations while i can present the title “a camping trip”.
after the first step, i will give them another task to make a list for the camping trip. each individual student thinks about the possible answers first. then they can share their ideas with others. there is both a competition and a cooperation to see how many things they may have for a camping trip. during this part, i also can present the sentence patterns “you have… and i have… we have… and they have…what does he/she have? he/she has…what do they have…they have…” when asking the things on their list. so my presentation goes like this, first individual work, then pair work, and group work, at last it becomes a class activity. the students are learning through sharing.
next step is listening and reading. after the discussion, the students are going to learn the passage of part a. the passage can be divided into four parts, the introduction, the dialogue between david and liu tao, the dialogue between helen and yang ling, and the dialogue between yang ling and su yang. we may listen to the passage one part after another. it helps the students get the information clearly and easily. i will give some questions after they listen to the tape. also i can give the students opportunities to ask questions. that is an interactive way among students. finding answers is not difficult for the students. after that, i design a game to see how much the students can remember about the things for the camping trip. the students can ask questions and also answer questions with the sentence patterns they have learned in this class.
