Summary after Class
The goals made before class have been reached quite well. The students took part in the games actively. They are quite pleased to accept this way of teaching.. However, the amount of knowledge they have really learnt by heart is a little less than we have anticipated beforehand . So we have to admit the fact that it is rather difficult to combine the communicative teaching ways with the current teaching conditions, in which we have such a large class including fifty-six students or so and the great pressure coming from the miscellaneous examinations.
Teaching procedure
Step 1 A competition for key phrases(10 minutes)
T: Good morning, boys and girls .Have you prepared well for the coming exam? Do you feel a little nervous about that ? Now let’s relax ourselves together. We will have a competition. We have four unknown slides. They are slide A, slide B, slide C, and slide D. Each slide has six phrases in Chinese on itself. In our class we have four groups. Every group can get a slide by drawing lots(抽签).In the end , we will see which group can translate all of these phrases into English correctly., Ok , now every group will send a student out to choose your slide.
Group 4 : (A)junk food, ought to , plenty of , keep up with , make a choice, now and then
Group 1: (B)dress up, in one’s opinion, play a joke on sb., take in, call on, bring back
Group 3: (C)pay off, at most, act out, a great deal of , a number of , pick out
Group 2: (D)around the corner, come to terms with, die down, day and night, take possession of, make up
T: Good job. You have finished it very well except for only one mistake. Group 3 have mixed up two phrases.
We should pay attention to the answer to NO.4 in the slide C, The right answer should be ”a number of”. And the answer to NO.5 in the slide C should be “a great deal of ”. Let’ look at another slide.
T: Group1, Group2, Group4 each have got 10 points. Congratulations! Group 3 has got 5 points. Try harder, guys.
Step 2 Design a form about those modal verbs which are used to express possibility.(18minutes)
T: Our competition will continue. We have learnt that “must , can/could, may/might “can be used to express possibility.
Can you try designing a form to make it clear how to use them in different sentence styles and different tenses. Group members should work together to get the best one in your group. Give you ten minutes to prepare for it.
T: Ok, the time is up. You can’t change it any more. Different groups can exchange your forms, and let’ s compare them with each other. Oh, which do you think is the best one?
Ss: We have agreed on the form made by group 3 .
T: Let’s have a look at it with the projector.
Modal verbs to Tenses
express guess or possibility Present
Or
Future
Present continuous Past
Or
perfect
Positive
sentences must:: very sure, certain
may
might perhaps, maybe
could possible
Modal
verb
+do/be
Modal verb
+be doing
Modal verb
+have done
Negative
sentences Can’t very sure
Couldn’t it is impossible
May not perhaps
Might not not
Question
sentences
Can/could
T: Well done. Your group deserve another ten points and the other three groups each have got five points
Pay attention to two points: (1)“mustn’t” means “You shouldn’t do it”, or “you are forbidden to do something.”. If you want to express you are sure that something is impossible, you should use “ can’t or couldn’t” to say that.(2)Look at the following examples.
a. He must be a student, isn’t he?
b. He must have finished it, hasn’t he?
c. He must have done it yesterday, didn’t he?
If we write the first part of each sentence without “must”, we’ll get three sentences like these.
a’. He is a student b’. He has finished it. c. He did it yesterday.
We got the second part of a, b, c from the sentences a’,b’,c’. Actually, we don’t try to guess any more in the second part of Sentence a, b, c.
Step 3 A game named “single or plural”(15mintues)
T: The following game is still played among groups. The knowledge you will use in this game is Subject-verb agreement.
T:(facing the group 1) Let’ s take Group 1 as an example. I have some phrases for your group members which can be used as subjects. As soon as I tell you one, you should tell me whether its predicate verb is single or plural. I will tell you my phrases one by one and you guys give me your answers one by one. You must do it as quickly as possible because you have only three minutes. Within three minutes, the group who has got the most correct answers is the winner Let’s have a try.
T: physics
S1: single
T: a library together with 2000 books
S2: single
T: not only the teacher but also the students
S: plural
… … …
… … …
T: Do you know the rule of the game , S10? Can you tell us something about it?
S10: Yes.I think every student has a chance to take part in the game. It’s very exciting.
T: Quite right. Remember only your first answer makes sense. Anyone can not answer it twice in the same round.
T: When one student is telling his answer, others should keep quiet. Let’ s start our game from group 4.
(maths, the number of students , a number of students, everything, both A and B, half of the food, half of the students, fifty percent of the population, ten pounds, works, every possible means , a clerk and secretary, every boy and every girl, more than one , many a , the pair of glasses, the glasses, bread and butter, the United States, cattle …)
T: Ok, the game is over. Group1 has got 15 points ,.Group 2 has gained 17 points. Group 3 has got 21points. Group 4 has scored 14 points.
Step 4 Summary(1minutes)
Let’s look at our score board
