Part 5.Teaching procedure

Step 1 Warming up & Lead-in

After greeting,  ask students to sing a song Baby Shark with me. The purpose is to attract students attention and create a relaxing atmosphere.

Then ask question "  How many lessons do you have today ? " to lead in the title " What subjects do you study ?"

Step 2 presentation 

Use pictures to present the new words like " subject, Science ".

Ask questions "  What subjects do you study?"  to get the answer "We study English, Science and Art."

Ask questions "  Do you have Art ? " to get the answer "Yes, we do. We have Art on Wednesdays."

Ask students to read after me. Boys read, girls read.  Group by group. Read together.

Then sing a song of the days of the week to present the days of the week.

Step 3  Practice 

Ask students to practice in different ways like " Bomb game ""voice game" & " Big tree ".

Eg. subject ( loud voice & low voice 演示）

The purpose of playing games is to stimulate students motivation in learning English.

Ask students to use another word to replace the underlined word to practice sentence. 

Step 4  Production

Divide students into two groups  Sunflower A, Sunflower B to role play the conversation , and invite students to perform on the stage.  If they do a good job, I’ll give petals to make their sunflower  more beautiful. It's a good way to develop cooperation and communicative skills.

Step 5 Consolidation

As a consolidation,  we’ll sing a chant.
