Preparation:
Word card, CD-ROM
Teaching process:
Warming up part:
The teacher shows many pictures about food.(noodles,rice, hamburgers,cakes and so on). Firstly, the teacher leads the students to get familiar with these food names and then on this basis the teacher can ask them to practice the sentence pattern.
Do you like noodles? Yes, I do.\ No, I don’t.
Do you want …? Yes, I do.\No,I don’t.
Step two: presentation and practice
The teacher makes use of the picture “noodles” and a new word “chopsticks” can be leaded out.
T: I like noodles. I eat noodles with chopsticks.
The teacher takes out the real chopsticks and then says the new word. At the same time, the teacher shows the picture of chopsticks.
An activity can be made here. The title of the activity is saying words as quickly. The pronunciation of new word is a difficult point. So the teacher should ask students to practice more.
Step three:
The new word “use” can be leaded out in the process of communication.
T: Can you use chopsticks?
The word card of use should be shown.
We use chopsticks in China. And the teacher writes the sentence on the blackboard.
We use chopsticks.
Do you use chopsticks? Yes, we do. No, we don’t.
Ask and answer in pairs.
The teacher inquires the students if the English people use
Chopsticks and a knife and fork will be leaded out.
T: We use chopsticks in China. Do the English people use chopsticks?
S: No, they don’t.
English people use a knife and fork.
Do you use chopsticks / a knife and fork? Yes, I do. No, I don’t.
Step four:
(1)Presentation of the text.
Amy and Daming are in the park. They want to eat noodles. Watch the CD-ROM, then answer the questions: “Does Amy use chopsticks in England?”
The students look at the CO-ROM and then answer questions.
Now Amy is using chopsticks. Watch again, then answer the next question: Are the chopsticks “easy” or “hard” for her?
