Teaching procedures

Step 1 Warm-up（序曲）

Two students role-play the conversation of buying and selling clothes in class.

The teacher show students a leaflet about Mr. Cool’s Clothes Store.

T： This morning I passed by a clothes store. People there gave me a leaflet. Let’s see what it’s about. Tell me your ideas.

S： Mr. Cool’s Clothes Store is on sale.

T： Yes. 50% Off. What does it mean？

S： The shop cuts half the price.

T： One week only. What does it mean？

S：It starts on Monday， and it ends on Sunday.

T： Yes， they also put up an ad （廣告）. Let’s read 2b on P41 and find out what the ad is mainly about.

【設計意圖】課堂的開始，就像一場戲的序曲一樣，幕布一打開，就要使學生快速入戲。在這種期待中，老師打破常規，手拿傳單，一下就抓住所有學生的注意力，為學生營造一種輕松、愉悅的學習氛圍，并且很快拉近師生距離。緊接著，在教師情境中不露痕跡地引出與閱讀文本相關的幾個新詞，啟發學生思維，激起學生閱讀的欲望。由于學生沒有預習，因此在情景中適當認識幾個新詞，為后面的閱讀理解掃除基本障礙、作些鋪墊。

Step 2 Presenting（發展）

T： What is the ad（廣告） mainly about？ The ad is mainly about __________.

A. many beautiful clothes.

B. the prices and colors of the clothes.

C. The great sale in Mr. Cool’s Clothes Store.

S： OK.

T： Which is the answer？

S： C.

T： Why do you choose C？ Where can you find the answer？

S： From the first two sentences.

T： Read the sentences aloud. “Come and buy your clothes at our great sale！We sell all our clothes at very good prices.”

1. Scanning.

What clothes are on sale in Mr. Cool’s Clothes Store？

Sweaters， trousers， shorts， skirts， jackets， shoes， and socks.

2. Careful Reading. Read the ad again and finish the chart.

【設計意圖】這一步相當于戲劇里面故事的展開。通過前面環節對學生們文章大意已經了解，教師需要引導學生一同展開對文章內容更細致的解讀。“Making notes” （做筆記） 是閱讀的一個很重要的方法。閱讀后完成表格其實就是閱讀的同時把要點記錄下來，這樣既最大限度地挖掘課文內容訓練學生的歸納總結能力和細節獲取能力，也能使學生在自己的頭腦里形成一個較為清晰的思維導圖，讓文本在他們的頭腦里網絡化、條理化。

Step 3 Suspense （懸念）

Read and retell. Ask the students to summarize the whole passage.

T： Now， we know so much about the passage， can you summarize the passage？ The following structure may help you. You can tell your partners first.

S： …

Further Reading. Read the ad again and complete the conversation in 2c.

T： I need three volunteers to practice the conversation in class and check the answer

at the same time.

【設計意圖】戲劇或者故事的懸念是觀眾最期待的。課堂里學生的產出到底有多少，也是一個懸念。通過前面的閱讀活動，學生已經把握各段落大意，在此基礎上怎么檢測學生是否理解了整篇文章呢？通過對文章內容的總結，既培養了學生歸納段落大意的能力又為學生提供口頭練習的機會。這樣就把輸入和輸出相結合，把文本和表述相結合。

Step 4 Climax （高潮）

Read， think and Write.

T： There is another example. Linlin’s Clothes Store is at a great sale， but the ad is in the wrong order. Can you make it right？

Come quickly！ You can get what you like. You can’t miss it！

Welcome to Linlin’s Clothes Store！ The clothes in the store are on sale today.

Our hats are six dollars. They are really pretty. How much is the white sweater？ It’s only 9 dollars. Do you like shorts？ For boys， we have green shorts for only 8 dollars.

S： 2-3-1.

Writing.

T： Now， it is your show time. Look at 3b， write an ad for your own clothes store.

e.g. Sale at ____________________

Come and buy your clothes...！ Do you like...？ We have...

...

Come to our store now！

【設計意圖】戲劇的高潮部分最吸引人，是全劇的重頭戲。這節課的產出部分，無疑是這節課的亮點和重點。課本42頁的3b的寫作設計，與閱讀理解本身聯系緊密。這里增加一個Look at 3b， write an ad for your own clothes store.的任務，引導學生在仔細閱讀文本的基礎上，加深對文本深層次的理解，在理解的基礎上發散開來，由里而外，由人到己，將文本與思考相結合，將學習與生活相結合，將閱讀與寫作相結合。

Step 5 Ending （結局）

1. Homework assignment

Write the ad for your own clothes store on your exercise book.

【設計意圖】一堂課的結尾相當于一部戲的結局。編筐編簍，重在收口。讓學生將所學的內容寫成一個篇章，既能鞏固、強化這堂課所學的內容，又能培養學生的寫作能力。
