Put them away, please! Lesson 72-1－教学教案

Step 1 Revision

1　 Check the new words and expressions in the previous three lessons.

2　 Check the students dialogues.

3　 Revise the pronouns by asking the students questions about themselves like, How old are you? How old is she? What is his /her favourite colour? Whose classroom is this? etc.

4　 Revise the nouns for body parts.

Step 2 Spelling and pronunciation

1　 SB Page 9, Part 1 and Speech Cassette Lesson 72 (Phonic Reading Work). Books closed. Follow the same steps as in Lesson 68, Steps 2-3 of TB. Use flashcards rather than going straight to the book.

Note: There are two ways of pronouncing the letter C: /s/ and /k/. C is pronounced /s/ only before E and I, e. g. face /feis/, pencil /pensil/, etc. CK is pronounced /k/, not /kk/; The silent “E” changes the sound of letter G to /d{/.

The word teacher has two syllables. Many Chinese students omit the second syllable.

2　 Do Ex. 1 in Wb Lesson 72.

Step 3 Word stress

Books closed! Remind the students that English words have a stress.

1　 Say Listen, please. Play the tape.

2　 Say Please listen and repeat. And play the tape again.

3　 Point out that the stress in other, broken, and worry falls on the first syllable. The stress in about, begin and today falls on the second syllable. Say these words, making a gesture to show the stress. Students repeat.

4　 Show flashcards in random order and have the students read the words correctly, making a gesture to show the stress.

Step 4 Silent letters

SB Page 72, Part 3. Play the tape. Students listen and repeat. Write a word such as know on the Bb and say the word. Students repeat. Have them tell you which letter is silent (k). After you have written all the words on the Bb, point to the words randomly and have the students read the words.

Step 5 Read and draw

1　 SB Page 9, Part 4. Ask What parts of the robot are missing? Then say, Lets read and find out. Have the students take a few minutes and read the passage silently to themselves. Then check for the correct answer (arms, hands, legs and feet). Teach that feet is plural for foot.

2　 Have the students draw the missing parts and label them. Have them compare their drawings with their partner.

Step 6 Listen and do

SB Page 9, Part 5. Read aloud the instructions and make sure that the students know how to do the exercise. You may demonstrate. Then get the students to work in pairs. Student A may say Show me your eyes, or Touch your ears. Student B should point to the body part that Student A is asking for. Switch parts.

Step 7 Read and act

1　 Ask students to guess the meaning of year. Teach tell and Its a pleasure / my pleasure. Although the students are not required to use these words, they should understand the meaning.

2　 SB Page 10, Part 6*, Speech Cassette Lesson 72. Before you play the tape, tell the students to listen to the intonation of the womans voice. Ask Why is the woman worried? With books closed, play the tape. Check for the answer. (She cant find her daughter. )

3　 Now have the students work in pairs and practise reading the dialogue and acting it out. As they are practising, remind them to pay attention to their intonation so that they sound worried.

Step 8 Checkpoint 18

Go through the Checkpoint in the usual way. Refer to the grammar notes on Personal Pronouns on Page 176 of the SB.

Step 9 Workbook

SB Page 80, Wb, Lesson 72, Listening Cassette Lesson 72, Exx. 2, 3 and 5. For Exx. 2 and 3, havethe students work in pairs. Then choose several pairs to say their dialogue for the class.

Ex. 5, Listening Cassette Lesson 72. Have students listen and number the pictures. Check the answers. (3; 1; 2)

Homework

Do Exx. 4 and 6 of Wb Lesson 72 in the exercise book.

Some ideas for extra practice or enrichment

1　 Teach the students about body language. Tell them that body language is an important part of language, just like the correct pronunciation and intonation. In Lesson 69, Part 2, mother is probably a little angry or at least annoyed. Have the students think about what people do with parts of their bodies when they are angry (put hands on hips, shake their finger at the other person, speak louder, etc. ). Also in Lesson 70, Kate is worried. Discuss what people do when they are worried (wring their hands, cross their arms in front of them, etc. ). Now have the students read through the dialogues from Lesson 69, Part 2 and from Lesson 72, Part 6 using body language as they speak.

2　 The students can express themselves creatively by drawing their own robot or monster, or bug, etc . Then have them name the parts of the body in their drawing. They may have parts to their bodies that havent been taught, like wings if its a bug. Thats OK. The students can expand their body part vocabulary.
