We will talk about them step by step.II.Brainstorming.1. When you want to talk about sth, what do you feel difficult to do? Properwords and phrases.So we need to gather enough words about sth. when we want to talk about it.How many words do you know that we can use to describe our friends? Let’s do it in groups. Please show us you are the best.After it, T collects their words on the Bb and decide which group is the winner.2. Go through the words in the table on P15.3. Read the passage on P16 quickly and find out some information about Daniel’s best friend4. Group work. Find out the useful words about how to describe the best friends ( eg. tall, slim; square, long; bright, smiling; pretty, kink; clever, help, happy)III.Phrases and sentencesNow we have these words. Is it enough to write a passage? No. So we still need some phrases and sentences structures. Try to find the phrases and sentences Daniel used in his passage.IV. Paragraphs1. ElicitOK. I’m going to write about my good friend.…is my best friend. ……(put these phrases and sentences together randomly)(ask for their opinion about this ‘passage’)So the structure of a passage is very important.2.

Show them to the whole class and ask the other students to find out the good points in each passage. After talking about some passages, ask them to rewrite their passages to make them better.VI.Hw.Write a passage about their good friends.Period 10 CheckoutAims: to review what they have learnt in this unit;to assess their understanding and correct use of adjectives, comparatives and superlatives.This is the check out of the whole unit. That means the most important language points in this unit are using adjectives to describe something and using ‘(not) as … as’ to compare two things. So we need to design some exercises to practise using them and make sure that students can use them fluently.Usually I ask them to make some sentences, talk about some topic, and look back on what we have learnt in this unit. Sometimes I also ask them to do some translations. It is useful to learn a foreign language, especially to those who can’t study well enough.After that, I use this page as a short test. I ask them to do it in 5~10 minutes, then check the answers immediately. To do so, students can have more confidence in themselves and know better about themselves in time.Teaching procedures:I .
