Teaching steps
Step1 Self-introduction
(I) This is the first English class in Senior high, you are fresh to the students , so are the students. So it is necessary for you to introduce yourself to the students and get them to introduce them to you and other students , you must stress that the students must introduce them in English. If necessary, you can make an example first.
eg : My name is Liyingxu , I am your new English teacher ,you can call me Mr.li. I was born on April 16th in a small village in Hebei province. I graduated from
Northwest Minorities University , I have taught English in this school for three years.
I am a friendly teacher , I am usually ready to help everyone of you. I like sports very much ,but I am not good at it. I don’t like music so much ,especially pop music, in my opinion, it is so noisy and meaningless. In my spare time, I like reading. I hope we can get along well with each other and I will try my best to teach you how to learn English well more than the grammar & vocabulary & drills. I will be strict with every student, so you must follow my words, or you will be punished.
(some drills needed to be written on the black board)

b)I am a ……
c)I was born on/in ……
