Unit6 I like music that I can dance toGood morning,ladies and gentlemen,nice to meet you here!I am Zou Yanni from Qili Middle School, It’s my great honor to stand here to share my teaching ideas with you. Today I am going to talk about the first period in Section A of Unit 6I like music that I can dance to,which is taken from Go for it, Book 5.My presentation consists of six parts: analysis of the teaching material, analysis of the students, teaching methods, guide of studying ways, teaching procedures and teaching reflections.I. Analysis of the teaching materiali)Status and functionIn this unit, Ss learn to express preferences with the relative clause.The topic is about music, which is popular among Ss. It will arouse Ss’great interest. The first period mainly provides target language with relative clauses to express preferences on music. It gives Ss much practice in speaking and listening the target language.ii) Teaching aims and demands1. Knowledge ObjectsIn this lesson, Ss should master the new words “prefer and lyric”. At the same time, they should know how to use the target language:What kind of music do you like?I like music that I can sing along with．What about you?I prefer music that has great lyrics．2. Ability ObjectsIn this lesson, I’ll mainly train th e Ss listening and speaking abilities and develop the Ss’ abilities of communication by express -ing their preferences on music．3. Moral ObjectsLet’s enjoy music．It always brings us happiness．4.Teaching keys and difficultiesTeaching Key Points1)．Key V ocabulary prefer, lyric2)．Target LanguageTeaching Difficult Points1)．Relative clauses with that2)．The listening practice5．Teaching aidsA tape recorder and a computerII.Analysis of the studentsThe Ss have learned English for two and a half years, they can express their thought and communicate with each other with English well. And all the Ss will be interested in the topic, which is related to their real life.. It’s helpful for our study of this lesson.III.Teaching methodsIn this lesson, I’ll mainly use the following teaching method s:1．Chain drill2．Pairwork3. Task-based teaching methodIV．Guide of studying waysIn order to guide the Ss better, develop the Ss’ abilities, in this lesson, the Ss will learn how to be a good language learner, and how to communicatewith others. It will be very helpful for their learn-ing in the future. I think good studying ways can help the Ss to be good language learners.V．Teaching proceduresStep1. Revision（1）Invite different pairs of students to say the conversations learned in preceding classes with books closed．（2）Check the answers to the exercises of the workbook by asking different students to say their answers to the Class．（3）Dictate some of the key vocabulary words presented in units 1-5．Purpose of my designing: I think it is important to review the knowledge we have learned.Step 2 PresentationWrite“that are red ”on the blackboard．Point to it and say a sentence with it, I like flowers that are red．Ask who can make another sentence with it．They may say, I like gloves that are red．I like shoes that are red．Write another phrase on the blackboard, …that is big．Help the students tomake sentences with it．Play the tapes of different kinds of music for the students, only a short piece of each tape．Say, I like music that makes me relaxed．Write these four groups of words on the blackboard,…that has great lyrics,…that I can sing along with,…that isn’t too loud, …that I can dance to．Tell the students lyrics means the contents of the songs．Ask the students, What kind of music do you like?Say, You can answer with I like music…, I love music…, I prefer music… Explain prefer=like…better to them．Get one of the children to answer the question, then let this child ask the one next to him/her the same question．Set off a chain drill．Purpose of my designing: This activity introduces the key vocabulary and trains the students to express preferences with the relative clause．Step3 Practice: Looking and circlingAsk the students to open their textbooks now．Read the instructions of Activity 1a to the students．Make sure they understand everything．First have them look at the pictures and circle the sentences they agree with．Read each sentence to the class and ask the students to raise their hands to see if they agree．Make a survey to find out how the class feels about each item．Discuss the result of the survey with the class．Get the students to complete the sentence to tell what kind of music they enjoy．Ask some of the students to share their sentences．Write any new words or phrases on the board to help them if necessary．Help them make their own sentences like this: I like music that…Purpose of my designing: This step is employed to make the Ss get the general idea of the target language. At the same time let the Ss have a chance to practice their listening and spoken ability.Step 4 Listening practiceSay, we will hear Tony and Betty talking about the kinds of music each one likes．Let’s see the instructions first．Read the instructions to the students．Tell them to tick （√）the right statements while they are listening．Read the three headings before playing the tape．Play the tape the first time and the students only listen．Then play it for a second time．The students tick in the right answer boxes．Cheek the answers．Purpose of my designing: It gives Ss practice in understanding the target language in spoken conversations.Step 5. Pairwork 1cRead the instructions to the students．First ask a pair of the students to read the example in the box,S A: What kind of music do you like?S B: I like music that I can sing along with．What about you?S A:I prefer music that has great lyrics．Then get them to work in pairs．Answer the questions with their own preferences．As the students do the practice, move around the classroom and give them some help．Ask several pairs of students to perform their conversations before the class．Purpose of my designing: Task-based teaching method is used here to develop Ss’ ability of communication and also their ability of co-operation will be well trained.Step6. SummaryS In this class, we’ve learned two new key words, prefer and lyrics. And we’ve learned how to express preferences by talking about music, using relative clause with that．Purpose of my designing: At the end of the class, we should help the Ss to summarize what we have learned in this lesson.Step7.HomeworkAsk the students to write three sentences with I like music that…,I love music that …,I prefer music that…Purpose of my designing: It is necessary for the Ss to do some extensive exercises after class to consolidate the knowledge they learned.Blackboard designUnit 6 I like music I can dance to．Section A The First Period1．sample phrases Array…that are red．…that is big．SentencesI like flowers that are red．I like the house that is big．Relative clause with that．…that has great lyrics．…that I can sing along with．…that isn’t too loud．V. Teaching reflectionThere are only two new words in this lesson “prefer and lyric”.During my preparation, I prepared a lot of pictures to realize the revision and teaching of the new words. I found that they were quite attractive when students saw them during the teaching. In terms of my organization of the class, there were six steps in detail. They were revision, presentation, practice, listening, pairwork and summary. Revision occupied about 6 minutes; presentation occupied 8 minutes; practice and pairwork accounted for half of the class; listening lasted about 6 minutes.I was quite satisfied with the partof oral practice, because every student participated in listening and talking. Theycould give correct answers when they stood up. The feedback information was ideal atthis point. Meanwhile, I was not satisfied with the listening part. If I had five more minutes, I would play the tape recorder for another time and let them repeat what they heard. Because of the limited time, I just let them listen and check the answers, I think it’s not enough if I want to develop their listening and speaking abilities.That’s all about my class. Thank you for listening.。
