Teaching Procedures and Teaching evaluation

Step 1 Warming-up (1-2min)

Play an English song “head,shoulders,knees and toes”. (This part aims to stimulate students' interest in learning, make the classroom atmosphere active and then lead in the central topic of this part.)

Step2 Lead-in & Presentation (3—5min)

Let SS say out the words of body parts in this song.Sing the song again,Ss try to say all correctly.

Then, let Ss say out more words of body parts leant before.(review and learn the words of body parts.)

T shows another picture of a sad woman and asks\she feeling happy?\a headache.\out the target language “what’s the matter?”... )

Step3 Pair work (3—5min)

To give Ss practice in using target language to create simple conversations.

In this step, I will go on showing some other pictures of illness on the screen and ask students to practice. Then I will ask the students to talk about one's problems.

Next, the students should work on 1c. Have students work in pairs according to 1c and ask some pairs to act out their conversations.

(Ask some students to use gestures to show the illness, and have others to guess. Make a model dialogue.(S1 does an action to express illness.)

Step4 Listening (1b) (2min)
