二、教学过程

Step 1 Revision

1　 Revise Where are you from? What do you speak? Do you speak French? etc.

2　 Revise the dialogue in SB Page 37, Part 2. Choose several pairs to act it out.

Step 2 Presentation

1　 Teach the word postcard. Bring in the real item. Draw the “writing” side of a postcard on the Bb. Teach Dear …, and Love from … Explain that Love from … is only used between family members and good friends.

2　 Point out the way to write an address in English. Note that the name of the person comes first. Write the school address on the Bb, e.g. :

Miss Li Manhua

No. 27 Middle School

Donghuamen Street

Beijing, 100009

People's Republic of China

Get the students to write their own address. Check their work.

Step 3 Read

SB Page 38, Part 1, Speech Cassette Lesson 95. Before playing the tape, have the students practise scanning for information. First, read the questions with the students. Then give them no more than two minutes to scan the postcard for the answers. Check the answers. Now, play the tape. Students listen and repeat.

Get the students to translate Lily's letter into Chinese. Lincoln Drive means 林肯 (大)街/道.

Step 4 Practice

SB Page 38, Part 2. Students work alone and then check the answers in pairs. Get the students to correct “Wrong” answers (sentences 1,4,5 and 6).

Step 5 Talk and write

1　 Revise telephone greetings e.g. This is … Is … at home / in? etc.

2　 Have the students work in pairs and write their telephone conversation. Next, have them practise their dialogue, as they practise; remind the students to pay attention to their intonation. Also, have them act out the conversation. Tell the students in Chinese that even though it is a phone conversation, people do different things when they speak on the phone, e.g. some people pace back and forth, others twist the telephone cord around their finger, etc. Choose several pairs to act out their dialogue for the class. Ex. 1 of Wb Lesson 95 can be used as a model dialogue.

Step 6 Workbook

SB Page 115, Wb Lesson 95, Ex. 2. The letter is to a good friend. The first two paragraphs can be completed according to reality. The blanks in the last paragraph can be filled with words that fit in the blanks, but don't need to reflect reality.

Homework

Go over the language items listed in Checkpoint 24 and see if the students have any questions.
