Step 1 Revision

1 Check the homework： get several pairs of Ss to do Ex. 1 in Wb Lesson 14.

2 Practise the dialogue in SB Page 14, Part 1, using other vocabulary(e. g. items of clothing).

Step 2 Reading

SB page 15, Part 1. Tell the Ss that Li Lei's class are going to work on a farm. Ask How are they going to the farm? Let the Ss read the dialogue silently to find the answer.

Let the Ss work in pairs to answer the questions in SB page 15, Part 2. Go through the answers and get the Ss to guess the meaning of pick apples and on the road. Explain that Only some school work is short for I'm only going to do some school work and that It's much better than having classes means that Jim is very happy because he is not going to go to school next week!

Difficult phrases and sentences can be translated into Chinese.

Step 3 Acting

Speech Cassette Lesson 15. Play the tape. Listen and repeat, then practise the dialogue in pairs. Teach the Ss how to read dramatic dialogue. They look at the book before they speak each line, but look at their partner as they speak. In this way they can use facial expressions and gestures more effectively. Get some pairs to act out the dialogue.

Step 4 Listening

Wb Lesson 15, Ex. 1. Listening Cassette Lesson 15, Part 3. As usual, play the tape at least three times before asking the students to complete the sentences in the Wb.

Listening text:

WEI HUA：Hi, Lucy! Are you going to come with us tomorrow?

LUCY： Where to?

WEI HUA：We're going to work on a farm.

LUCY： Really? Great! I'd love to come. What are we going to do?

WEI HUA：We're going to help the farmers to pick pears.

LUCY： Pears! Great! I love pears!

WEI HUA：We're going to pick them, not eat them!

LUCY： How are we getting there?

WEI HUA：By bus. We're going to meet outside the school gate.

LUCY： OK! When are we going to meet?

WEI HUA：We're going to meet at 7：20. OK? Oh, put on your oldest clothes!

LUCY： 7:20 in my oldest clothes. OK! See you! Bye!

WEI HUA：Bye!

The answers are:1 farm, 2 pears, 3 bus,4 the school gate, 7:20, 5 their oldest clothes.

Step 5 Workbook

Do Ex. 2 orally first, then get the Ss to write in the answers.

The answers are： are/is, going, help, with, pick, much, is, early, outside, not, by ,old, work.

Ask them to work in pairs to prepare six questions on the passage, using the questions in SB page 15, Part 2 as a model.

A：I am going to help Mother wash clothes on Sunday. I am not going to see my friend.
