It can help the students be interested in the lesson and learn the lesson happily and easily.2. Encouragement and praise.3. “Task-based” teaching method.“Task-based” language teaching has been one of the most important foreign teaching approaches during these years. The New English Curriculum requires teachers to use it .It’s an effective and advanced teaching approach. It’s widely used in many different countries.Part Three Learning methods:As an English teacher, your duty is not only to teach the students some English knowledge, but also to raise their skills of learning and using English. Such as:1. Co-operation and competition----Students cooperate[kəu'ɔpəreit] and compete with each other by working in groups.2. Reading skills----How to read EnglishPart Four Teaching Aids[eid]multi- media, the blackboard, objects.Part Five Analysis of the studentsThe students are in Grade Eight now, and they have some interests of learning and speaking English, they are willing to co-operate and communicate with others in class, especially this lesson is related to their daily life: Giving presents to a friend. I think it’s easy for them to learn the lesson and they will take an active part in the activities in class.Part Six Teaching procedures[prə'si:dʒə]I’ll finish this in four steps. First, I’ll divide the Ss into four groups and bring a competition into the class. In the end, let’s see which group is the best.Step I. GreetingGreet and sing the song “Celebrate! ” with the Ss.As we know: Well begun, half done. To have a good beginning, and motivate the Ss’ interest, I let the Ss sing the song together. So the Ss feel relaxed and happy in learning English.Step II. Pre-reading1. Show some pictures about Thanksgiving and talk about them with the Ss.2. Think about it :·Why do families like to celebrate holidays together?·Who does Brian meet?My purpose is to show the beautiful pictures with the multi-media to attract the Ss’ attention and make the Ss take an active part in speaking En glish, so that they have more interests in learning this lesson.Step III. While-reading1. Fast readingOn Thanksgiving Day, Jenny with her family celebrates the festival. see what they are doing. Get the Ss to read the text silently and quickly, answer the questions:① On Thanksgiving Day, where did Jenny and her mother go?②Have Jenny’s cousins come?2. Careful reading1. Get the Ss to read the text silently and carefully, then fill in the blanks.My purpose is: I use “Fast reading” method to let the Ss get the gener al ideas of the text and “Careful reading” method to let the Ss get the detailed information of the text. They help develop the Ss’ reading abilities.While reading, the Ss grasp the meaning of the new words and phrases from the context.2. The Ss answer the questions. If they do them well, I will praise them and give red stars to them or their groups.Step IV. Post-readingA) 1.Make up a new dialogue of celebrating Thanksgiving according to the text, using the objects you have prepared.2. Ask several groups to act it out.B) Show your love1. Say thank you to your classmate or your friend who offers to help and give him or her a big hug2. Get several groups to show love and read what they write to the class, praise and clap for them.On the above, I designed two tasks: make up a new dialogue and show your love.I use “Task-based” teaching method here is to develop and train the Ss’ ability of communication and also their ability of co-operation. It’s a good way to use English to do things. It’s helpful fo r the Ss to develop their ability of using English. Say thank you to others who offers to help is a good chance to show their love to their classmates, so that they will love each other and have a better friendship.Step V. Homework1. Say thank you to your parents and give them a big hug.2. Rewrite the story in the text.My purpose is to cultivate the Ss’ writing ability and it’s a good way to consolidate the knowledge they have learned after class. Saying thank you to your parents and give them a big hug is a good chance to show their love to their parent.Blackboard Design。
