Step 1 Greetings and Lead-in (10 mimutes )
1.Introduce senior English book, different parts of each unit to the students. T: Good morning/ afternoon.
S: Good morning/ afternoon, teacher.
T: You can call me Miss Wang next time. Six down, please. It’s our first English lesson in senior high school. I’m very happy to be your English teacher, and I hope from now on, we can learn together like good friends. Ok, let’s look at senior English textbook. Do you find this book is different from your junior book?
S: Yes.
T: What’s the difference?
S: There’re many new words in this book.
S: There’re not lessons in one unit.
S: The book is very beautiful.
T: Right. Senior English book is very colorful. You see there’re many pictures in it and every unit is made up of different parts instead of lessons. Let’s find them together. Please turn to the list of the book. Look, there’re twelve units. Each unit has its topic and in each unit we can learn new functional items, language structures, reading materials and different writing forms. Take Unit 1 for example. What’s the topic?
S: Friendships.
T: And we also must learn to talk about likes and dislikes and how to make apologies. The grammar point is direct and indirect speech. We’ll read the passage “ Chuck’s Friend” and e-pal ads and learn to write e-mails.
Ok, turn to Page 1.The blue box also tell you what you must learn in Unit 1. There’re the goals of Unit 1. What does “goals” mean? You have learned the word before.
S: 球门.
T: Good. But here it means 目标.So at the beginning of each unit you’ll be clear about the goals and when we finish each unit’s study, you must check yourself whether you master the goals. Next let’s see different parts in the unit. First warming up. In this part, through some activities you’ll be connected with the topic of this unit. Next two parts are listening and speaking. When we do speaking, we must try to use the useful expressions. Next three parts are about reading. It includes Pre-reading, Reading, Post-reading. And then you’ll learn new words and grammar points in Language Study. The last part is integrating skills which gives you a passage to read and a writing task. The passage is also the example of the writing form. At the end is the Checkpoint that helps you review the unit.
T: Workbook is also after Student’s Book. Turn to Page 85 and look together. In Workbook there’re listening, talking, practicing, integrating skills and assessing. So there ‘s a big difference between junior English and senior one. If you want to learn well, you must spend more time than before on English. If so, you’ll be confident in the future study.
2.Make demands for the students’ English study
T: Please listen carefully. I have some demands for your study.
Preview and review each lesson in time.
Prepare a notebook and during the class take notes carefully and after class summarize the useful expressions and sentences of each unit in the notebook. The notebook should be put in school bags and will be checked at any time.
