The first is by wind.The seed of some plants are very light, like the dandelion and the sycamore. They have wings or parachutes so that the wind can carry them easily. The second is by birds and animals.Someseeds, like the seeds of burdock stick to the fur of animals, and drop off as the animals move about. Birds carry others, such as berries. The third way is by the plant itself. The plant itself twists and breaks the walls of the fruit. It throws out or shakes out the seeds. The last is by water. The seeds float on the water either because they are very light, or because they have air inside them.Lesson PlanAIMS: A)B)NEW LEXIS: A)B)GRAMMAR/STRUCTURE:PROCEDUREActivitiesA)B)C)Stage 1:A)B)C)Stage 2:A)B)C)Stage 3:A)B)C)Homework:Reserve activityVisual aids:(Text 2 .)A doctor working in a village was very annoyed because many people used to stop him in the street and asked him for advice.

Prompter: in teaching sometime teachers give students hints to start an activity.Macro planning: the general aims or ideas about the teaching, not in detail. The time may cover as long as a term.Traditional pedagogy: teacher-centered, audio-lingua method, teaching language componentsLanguage form: behaviorist view of language emphasizes the importance of language form, instead of language meaning.Role-plays: interaction, meaningful, functional2. Function/notion approach: they regard language as functions and we have some notions to realize these functions Consistency: in language learning, pronunciation should be smooth and naturalTask-based method: the teaching activities are based on variety of tasksDeductive and inductive method: two opposite ways of grammar teaching. That is, from examplesto rules and from rules to examples in detailPrompter: teachers sometime should be a person always giving hints or cues or prompts to students so as to help them in learning3. Prompter: teacher who provides the hints or cues for studentsLinguistic competence: contrasted to communicative competenceRole-plays: tasks designed for students to play someone so as to practice real situationBottom-up and Top-down models: letter to words process and the whole to detail process in learning Behaviorism: key words: pattern drills, reinforcement, S-R, native language, repetition,。
