- #10 In the current unit, Module 3 Unit 1, we followed up on the same theme: people and people life. This time, we learned about 2 individual women, each living a very different life. Through telling their stories, we are taken a step further in language development. We moved away from using present simple tense to some more complicated structures and the sentences are getting longer. 1. Quick Questions Purpose: Warming up, get everybody to open mouth. Review the First part of the unit. Rules: The teacher asks all these questions quickly, and students answer together. Who is Kathy? (ask about general information about Kathy) What does she do? What does she often do at night? As a result, what doesn’t she like to do in the morning? 2. This morning What time did Kathy get up? Did she eat breakfast? What did she do after she had some coffee? When did she leave for work? How did she go downtown? 3. Now Is she having an early lunch or a late lunch? Is she enjoying her meal? 4. Later in the afternoon What is she going to do later this afternoon? Why is she going to meet her boss? What is she going to do this evening? When is the interview going to start? What is the interview going to be about?
- #11 This exercise is not difficult So I ask for accuracy, as much as possible. I will look for 1. verbs in present single tenses, especially in third person single: is, writes, likes, does, doesn’t. 2. Verbs in past tense with past time phrases: got up, didn’t have time, had a cup of coffee, worked, left home, took a bus… 3. Is doing sth 4. Is going to do ..
- #12 Requirement: Whoever give the speech has to stand up, facing the audience. Speak as loudly as it is needed to be heard by everyone in the room without difficulty Speak as clearly as possible, Meanwhile, Speak as fast as you can. Rule I may stop you at anytime I want, and invite another person to continue with the presentation. So, please listen to your classmates carefully, so that when you are to follow him/her, you don’t repeat unnecessarily.
- #13 Explain in English: What is an interview? When do people do interviews? Who often does interviews? What is a schedule? What kinds of information are usually included in a schedule? Make sentences by using Schedule and Interview There might be other expressions that you are not familiar with, or you are not used to using them when you speak. Pay attention Try to use them.
- #15 Purpose: Practice asking questions about people’ daily activities. Hot-seat Ask one student to play “Diane” . She will come to the frond and stand facing the class. Start with a short self-introduction, starting with: “My name is Diane…”,. Then others will ask her questions about all her activities of the day, as if a police is questioning a suspect. Examples: What time did you get up? Did you eat breakfast? What does your husband do? How long does it take them to get to their school? How do your kids usually get to school? When did they leave for school? Where did you go after she took her kids to school? Who did you go shopping with? How long were they at the health club? What are you doing right now? How much longer are you going to be at home? How do you feel about your class? Rules: Every body has to ask at least one question ， based on the context of the text, or extend it a little bit. “ Diane” will answer every question as fast as she can. Repeat the activity once more, but change the character to Diane’s husband Dick. “ Dick” starts by saying, “My name is Dick. Diane is my wife. She doesn’t have a job. …” Later, people can ask: “Dick, what does your wife usually do in the morning?” “When did she get up this morning?”
- #16 Now that we are all very familiar with Diane and her life, let’s try summarize what we learnt about her. But this time, I want you to do it as fluently as you can. Earlier today : got up, cooked, drove, went, bought, went, were at… Right now : is cleaning Later today : is going to pick up…take a class, attend a class…
- #18 Linking, omitting sounds, stress, intonation Additional examples: an apartment in Australia
- #19 Divide the class into two groups, each stand in a line. I’ll ask the first person in each line to come to the front, and tell them the following information. I’ll repeat my message twice. Then, the two students go back to their teams, and pass my words to the next person behind him/her. Rules: Each person has to speak to another person’s ears, without letting a third person hear. The last person writes down the message he/she gets on paper, and read out aloud to all of us. The team which finished first and get the message right wins. This morning I woke up at 7:00 but fell asleep again. I didn’t get up until 9:00. So I didn’t have time for breakfast and I took a taxi to work right away. Luckily I wasn’t late! We choose these sentences because They are all very short, simple. No difficult words or complicated sentence structure. Using these sentences, we are reviewing the language from this unit: past tense, verbs of daily activities. Sequence is the key. We close the Review activities with a game like this, so that students can relax and have some fun. Meanwhile, they learn a lesson. The lesson is: Often students thought they had understood the language, but they didn’t. Only when people can accurately retell the information he/she heard, can we say that he/she really understood. In this case, students’ understanding is not enough for them to carry out an effective communication. Often, students fail to deliver the message correctly because when they listen to the message, they try very hardly to remember each individual words and the sentence structures. This distracted them from paying attention to the meanings and the logical connection among meanings. If they were able to pay attention to the meanings and logical connections and sequence, rather than the forms, they will be able the remember much more sentences at a time. Language is used for communicating meanings, not just as a school subject for people to grasp.--- Always remember that!
