Unit 4 What would you do?Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, nice to meet you here! I amZou Yanni from Qili Middle School, It’s my great honor to stand hereto share my teaching ideas with you. Today I am going to talk aboutthe first period in Section A of Unit 4 What would you do?which is taken from Go for it, Book 5.My presentation consists of six parts: analysis of the teaching material, teaching methods, guide of studying ways, teaching procedures and teaching reflections.I. Analysis of the teaching materiali)Status and functionThe topic of this unit is about imaginary situations. Such a topic enables Ss to activate their imagination and raises their learning interests. The first period serves as an introduction and a lead-in part. The topic “What would you do if you had lots of money?” makes the introduction easier.ii) Teaching aims and demands1. Knowledge ObjectsIn this lesson, Ss should master the new word “million ,medical and research”. At the same time, they should know how to use the target language: Look. This girl won a million dollars in the lottery.Wow! What would you do if you won a million dollars?I’d give it to medical research.And the structure: I would/I’d do2. Ability ObjectsIn this lesson, I’ll mainly train th e Ss listening and speaking abilities and develop the Ss’ abilities of communication by learning the useful structures.3. Moral ObjectsIf you won a million dol lars, you’d buy a big house, buy a car and so forth. However do remember it’s really being cool to realize your dream through great efforts.4.Teaching keys and difficultiesTeaching Key Points1. Target language2.

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:1. Scene teaching Method2. Teaching by induction3. PairworkIV．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 learning in the future.I think good studying ways can help the Ss to be good language learners.V．Teaching proceduresStep1. RevisionReview the structure "should be allowed to" by asking students to make sentences about school rules.Purpose of my designing: I think it is important to review the knowledge we have learned.Step 2 PresentationRead the instructions to the class.Call students’ attention to the words in the box. Ask a stud ent to read them to the class.Say, What would you do if you had a lot of money? Add more ideas to the list.Then share your answers with other students.Get students to complete the task. First individually, then in groups.As they work, walk around the room checking progress and offering any help they may need.Collect answers from students on the blackboard.Answers will vary but should include a mixture of ideas for helping themselves and others.Purpose of my designing: This activity focuses on vocabulary and structures introduced in this unit.Step3 Listening practiceRead the instructions to the class.Read the question in the speech bubble.Explain the word lottery to students.Say, You will hear teenagers talking about what they would do if they won the lottery. Point to the pictures. Ask students to describe them one by one.For example, for Picture One, a student might say, "If I won the lottery, I’d buy a big house."Point out the sample answer. Say, The first picture you will hear about has the number one on it.Play the recording for the first time.Students only listen.Play the recording again. This time students listen and number the pictures in the order they hear them.Check the answers.（Answers：2,1,4,3）Purpose of my designing: It gives Ss practice in understanding the target language in spoken conversations.Step4. Pairwork 1cRead the instructions to the class.Call students’ attention to the conversation in the box. Explain the vocabulary words million and medical research. Invite a pair of students to read it to the class.S A : Look! This girl won a million dollars in the lottery.S B: Wow ! What would you do if you won a million dollars?S A: I’d give it to medical research.Write it on the blackboard.Say, Pretend you are the people in the picture. Talk with your partner about what you would do if you won a million dollars.Get students to work in pairs. As they work in pairs together, walk around the room offering language support as needed.After students have had a chance to practice several exchanges, ask pairs to come to the front of the classroom and act out their conversations.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. SummaryIn th is class, we’ve learned some vocabulary words and the target language what would you do if you won the lottery? I’d give it to medical research.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.HomeworkIf you had a large amount of money, e, g. ￥100,000 what would you buy? Please write down each item and its cost to see when you will spend the full amount. And bring your lists to class tomorrow.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 4 What would you do?Section A The First PeriodA: Look. This girl won a million dollars in the lottery.B: Wow! What would you do if you won a million dollars?A: I’d give it to medica l research.VI. Teaching reflectionThere are three new words in this lesson: million, medical and research.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 five steps in detail. They were revision, presentation, listening, pairwork and summary. Revision occupied about 6 minutes; presentation occupied 9 minutes; pairwork accounted for half of the class; listening lasted about 6 minutes. I was quite satisfied with the part of oral practice, because every student participated in listening and talking. They could give correct answers when they stood up. The feedback information was ideal at this 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.。
