二、教学过程
Note: In this unit, the prices of objects are discussed. If you think your class is ready, you may discuss foreign currency and weights. In America the monetary unit is the dollar. In England it is the pound. In Canada and Australia, it is also called a dollar. However, the dollars in Canada, Australia and America are not the same. While the book is being published, the American dollar is worth the most. About one American dollar is equal to a little more than eight Chinese yuan.
As far as measuring weights, both America and England use the pound, abbreviated as“1b”. Australia and Canada use grams as a measurement. A pound weighs a little less than a jin and a kilogram is almost equal to two jin.
Step 1 Revision
1 Check the students dialogue in SB Page 63, Part 2.
2 Revise Lesson 114, Step 2 in the TB. Get a student to play the part of the shopkeeper.
Step 2 Spelling and pronunciation
SB Page 64, Speech Cassette Lesson 116 (Phonic Reading Work). Follow the same steps as in Lesson 68, Step 2 in the TB. Get the students to listen carefully and then repeat. Make sure the students do not add any vowels between the two consonants.
Distinguishing /l/ and /r/ sounds may cause problems in certain areas of China. If this is a problem for your students, do the following activity as in TB 1 B, Lesson 68, Step 3.
Ⅰ Ⅱ lane rain pail rail lest rest tail tear load road relight rewrite lock rock
Step 3 Stress and intonation
SB Page 64, Part 2, Speech Cassette Lesson 116. Remind the students about the stress which falls on “key” words. Books closed. Get the students to listen and repeat in the usual way, showing the stress and intonation with gestures.
Step 4 Read
Note: In many countries, a supermarket that sells other things besides food and drink, such as refrigerators, TVs and clothes is known as a hypermarket.
1 SB Page 64, Part 3. Give the students one minute to skim the reading for the main idea. See TB Lesson 76, Step 8. Check answers. (The reading is about a supermarket called Price - Low. It has many things, not only food. The people who work there are friendly.)
2 Speech Cassette Lesson 116. Books closed! Play the tape two times. Have the students write down everything that they hear. Now ask them what they heard. Have the students volunteer their answers. Write the answers on the board.
3 Have the students guess the meaning of all day, a lot of, all kinds and also. Read the sentences that contain these words and phrases. If the students still cannot guess, then give them clues like, All day long we are in school. etc.
4 Books open! Play the tape again. Students listen and repeat.
5 Have the students practise reading aloud. Then choose several students to read the passage for the class.
6 Do Wb Lesson 116, Ex. 4.
Step 5 Read and write
SB Page 65, Part 4*. Students first read the passage silently. Then have several students read the passage aloud for the class. Now in pairs, the students write a dialogue, using the list given. Several pairs should volunteer to read their dialogues for the class. Encourage the students to be creative. A sample dialogue follows:
Mr Hunt: Good evening, Mrs Brown. How are you? Mrs Brown: Im fine, thanks. Im having friends for dinner this evening. I need to buy some food. Mr Hunt: What do you need? Mrs Brown: I need 2 pounds of chicken legs and 1 pound of fish. Mr Hunt: OK. Do you need any vegetables? Mrs Brown: Yes. How much are the potatoes and tomatoes? Mr Hunt: The potatoes are 50 cents a pound and the tomatoes are twenty-five cents a pound. Mrs Brown: Ill take 3 pounds of potatoes and 1 pound of tomatoes. Mr Hunt: Here you are. Anything else? Mrs Brown: I need some fruit. What do you have? Mr Hunt: The apples and oranges are good. Mrs Brown: Oh, I like apples. Please give me 6 apples. I also need a small bottle of apple juice and a big bottle of coke. Mr Hunt: Anything else? Mrs Brown. No, thats all. How much is it? Mr Hunt: Its 14 dollars and fifty-four cents.
Step 6 Checkpoint 29
Go through Checkpoint 29 in the usual way and discuss any problems.
Revise How much/many…?
Step 7 Workbook
SB Pages 146-148, Wb Lesson 116, Exx. 1-3 and 5. Exx. 1-3 are a good review for countable and
uncountable nouns. You may either do them in class, or assign them as homework. For Ex. 5, have the students practise and act out the dialogue. Then choose several pairs to act out their dialogue for the class.
