网]Step 1 Introduction
1. Revision
1) Brainstorming: Try to bring out as many adjectives used to describe a person as possible. 2) Help the Ss to use the adjectives to describe their favourite teachers, and then get(理解) the
meaning of the positive adjectives or negative adjectives and categorise(归类) them.
2. Lead in the study of the adjectives: Ask each of the groups to write down their positive adjectives and negative adjectives and check the answers themselves. 3. Go to Wb. Vocabulary p74. 5.
T: ..Hello, boys and girls.? Ss: Good morning, Miss Li.?
T: Sit down, please. Now, in this class we’re going to learn something about the
teachers. First, let’s learn some new words. Are you ready? Ss: Yes, ready.?
T: OK, Li Lei, please read the words on the Bb.? ( Show the words on the Bb. )?
? Step 2 Presentation (Activity 1)
T: Let’s first look at the words in activity 1. Read after me, please. Finally do activity 1 alone.? (As a way of categorizing(归类) the words, ask Ss to write “+(plus/positive sign)” for positive adjectives, and “-(minus)” for negative adjectives. Ask Ss to report their answers.)
T: Some words will have a positive and a negative meaning, depending on the context.
amusing + energetic + funny + /- instelligent + kind + lively + nervous - organized + patient + popular + serious +/- shy +/- strict +/- stupid -
T: To call someone shy is not meant as a criticism, but being shy may stop the person doing something well, such as speaking English.
A teacher may think that being strict is good, but you may not agree!
Someone who is serious may be hard-working, but he may mean someone who has no sense of humor.
Someone who is funny may be amusing, or peculiar /pi’kju:ljз/独特的!
? Step 3 Practice (Activity 2)
( Read through the list of adjectives and have the Ss repeat them after the teacher and make sure the Ss understand the meanings of all of the words. Study the example and ask the Ss to write 5 sentences about people they know, using the adjectives. Finally, Ss call back the answers. )?
e.g. 1. My father is lively and energetic, but he is not very patient.?
.2. Our Chinese teacher is very serious and doesn’t smile much, but most of us really
appreciate her because his teaching is well organized. ?
3. Our physics teacher is very energetic and intelligent.?
4. Our math teacher is funny but very strict, and we don’t dare to say a word unless
she asks us to.
5. Our science teacher is very energetic and intelligent.?
6. Miss Chen, our chemistry teacher is shy, but she is very popular with our students. 7. Miss White, our English teacher, is shy, but she is kind and patient, and she explains English grammar so clearly that even I can understand it! 8. Ms Li, the English teacher is kind and patient.?
9. I am always interested in Ms Li’s classes. They are never boring.
Step 4 Listening and Practice (Activity 3)
( Read through all the sentences and ask the Ss to tick the sentences they agree with individually, and then call back the answers from the class. )?
T: All good teachers talk a lot. Do you agree? Student A?
A: No, I don’t agree. I think teachers need to be strict. Do you agree, B?
B: Yes, I quite agree with what you said. I like teachers who are amusing and can
laugh with their students. Do you agree, C?
C: Yeah, I agree. The most popular teachers are also very kind, is that right? D: …………..?
T: Now, Listen to Alex, an English student, and tick the sentences that he agrees with. Play the tape through once while the students listen to and read the statements again. Play the tape again for them to tick what Alex Barnes says. Ss check with a partner. Play the tape once more for them to check.? Call back the answers from the class.
T: After listening to the tape, we know Alex doesn’t agree with the first one and the last
two. That is, not all good teachers talk a lot, sometimes a teacher needs to talk without interruption, and a teacher must be organized. ? ………………...?
Step 5 Speaking on P14?
In this part the students will talk about their favorite teachers, and the parts of school life they enjoy most. 1) Ask Ss to describe their favourite teachers, using the adjectives they have just learned and tell the reasons why. 2) Ask the Ss to talk about the parts of school life they enjoy most and why.
Guidance: I like… better than…, because I …. . I enjoy…, because…. I am not good at … because…. . I prefer…
I’d prefer … , I’d rather … , you would prefer … ,
Example(1)：
I’ll never forget my mathematics teacher Mrs Wang. She looks like a little girl, though she has been a teacher for six years. She is very kind and patient. And her teaching is well organized and clear. What’s more, she likes giving us some
interesting examples to help us understand some difficult points. I hated learning mathematics, but now I find it interesting. Example(2)：
I always remember my first English teacher. He is a handsome young man who just graduates from college. He is very strict with us, and often takes much time to teach us to pronounce a word accurately. He is also a kind teacher. Whenever we meet difficulties in study, he is always there to help us. He often encourages us to read English stories. With him teaching us, we make great progress in English and lots of students are interested in English.
