Note：When teaching new words, it's a good idea to remind the Ss of the spelling rules they know. For example, refer to food, soon, afternoon while teaching moon; refer to other, mother, brother while teaching another. This should be made a constant feature in your teaching of new words.
Step 1 Revision
Revise Is/Are there…？by asking about items in the classroom： Is there a blackboard in this room? Are there any cats/flowers/pictures in this room? Help the Ss to answer Yes, there is. No, there aren't any. etc. You can make the questions more difficult by using adjectives(e. g. Are there any green walls in this room?) Get the Ss to ask and answer in pairs.
Step 2 Presentation
Write on the board, Lesson Five, the fifth lesson. Say Turn to page 5. Let's learn the fifth lesson. Repeat the word fifth.
Teach the sun, the moon, the land, these a and a ship, using flash cards or pictures on the Bb or the picture on page 5 of the SB. Explain in Chinese that the is used for unique natural elements, such as the sun and the moon. Practise this dialogue with the Ss, using different flash cards：
A：(holding a flash card of the sun) What can you see in this picture?
B：I can see the sun.
Get a student to play A, asking other Ss What can you see?
Step 3 Learn
SB page 5, Part 1. Read through the vocabulary in Part 1. Ss listen and repeat. Explain that another is an + other. Give more examples, using classroom objects (Here's an English book, and here's another one）. Get Ss to make up examples.
Step 4 Ask and answer
SB page 5 Part 2 and Part 3. Ask some individual Ss， then let the Ss work in pairs. Then books closed! Ask Is/Are there…?
Are there any birds in the picture? How many… can you see? etc.
Step 5 Game
The I can see game. Tell the Ss that you are thinking of a classroom object.
They must guess what it is. Say I can see something and the first letter is P. The Ss guess Can you see a pen? Can you see a piece of paper? Answer No, I can't until they guess the right answer： Can you see a pencil? -Yes, I can! The student who guesses must think of the next item and say I can see something and the first letter is…This game can be played in pairs or in groups.
