3. Check homework by asking some students to read their sentences they’ve made with the verbs. Let them hand in their homework.
4. Dictate ten words in Unit 7.
Step Ⅱ la
This activity introduces the key vocabulary and provides some writing practice.
In this unit we learn to offer to help.
We’ll use some phrasal verbs. Each phrasal verbs has two or three words, such as clean up, cheer up, give out.
Here is an example on how to use clean up. Look at the title of Unit 8. I’ll help clean up the city parks. Repeat it twice, please.
Ask the children to read the title twice.
Then go on saying, "clean up means make a place clean and tidy, put things there in order". Let’s see another example, We should always clean up after a picnic.
Who can explain this sentence in your own, words?
Ask one student to explain the sentence.
He or she may say like this. This sentences means we should burn wastepaper, collect litter and empty bottles, etc.
Then ask the class. Who can make more sentences with clean up?
Ask several students to share their sentences to the class.
Do the same with the other phrasal verbs.
Some sample sentences
1. clean up—make a place clean and tidy, put things in order
We should always clean up the dirty parts of the sea.
2. cheer up—make someone feel happy
The good news cheers everyone up.
3. give out—hand out, distribute
Lin Tao helped the teacher give out the new textbooks to the class.
Read the instructions to the students.
Please look at the picture now. We can see a bulletin board and two children in it. What is the bulletin board about?
Help students to answer: Volunteer Today!
Then continue saying, "Who can tell me the meaning of volunteer?"
Ask one student to try to explain it. Then tell them the meaning of it. Volunteer means a person who offers to do something unpleasant or dangerous. It means a person who offers to help the others sometimes. Volunteer is used as a verb in this lesson.
Draw the students’ attention to the three posters on the board.
We can see one sentence in each poster.
And we can see some people in each poster, too. What are the volunteers doing in each poster? Please work in pairs and talk about the posters.
Give the students a few minutes to talk about what they will say. Let them talk about all the three items. Move around and help the pairs as needed.
Then read the sentences in the posters to the class. Ask the pairs of students to explain what the sentence means in their own words. Or tell what the volunteers are doing 作者: admin 时间: 2011-2-1 19:19
in the posters.
For example, for the first poster, a pair might say:
It means there is trash in the park. There are papers on the ground. We can help clean up the park by picking up papers and trash. We can make the park clean.
After the students have finished all the items, ask the students to add some other ways they can help people. Get them to write the ways down in the box below the picture.
At last, ask some students to share their ideas with the class. Write any new words or phrases on the board and explain these words to the class, if necessary.
Some sample answers:
Visit some single elderly people and help them with housework.
Help clean up the neighbourhood.
Cheer up the people who look sad.
Help the teacher give out the papers to the students.
Save money to help the poorer children.
Step Ⅲ 1b
This activity gives students practice in understanding the target language in spoken conversation.
Call the students’ attention to the two lists in the box in Activity lb. Ask some students to read the eight sentences on the lists to the class. Explain any new words and phrases in it.
Make sure that all the students can understand the meanings of the eight items.
Then get the children to read the instructions together.
Say, we will hear four conversations.
Your task is to match the items in the two lists. We can see the blanks in front of the first line of each conversation. Listen to the conversations and write the letter in front of the first line of each conversation. Put the letters of the second line of conversations in right places.
Point out the sample answer to the class.
Play the recording the first time. Tell the students to only listen.

They may do this in several groups. After they’ve finished, display the pictures on a bulletin board and discuss these pictures with the class.
Step Ⅳ 1c
This activity provides guided oral practice using the target language.
Read the instructions with the class.
Call their attention to the example in the speech bubbles in Activity la. Ask a pair of students to read this conversation to a class. Then let them practice in pairs.
Note their pronunciation of "like to" in phrases such as, I’d like to help hungry people. Tell them English speakers usually pronounce the words "like to" as if they were spelled like-tuh.
Play the I’d like to statements on the recording to demonstrate this pronunciation.
After they’ve finished practicing the sample conversation, ask them to make up similar conversations based on the other two posters. Get two pairs to demonstrate two conversations first. They may say like this:
SA: I’d like to cheer up sick kids.
SB: You could visit sick children in the hospital.
SA: I’d like to help homeless people.
SB: You could give out food at a food bank.
Then let the whole class practice in pairs.
After that, play the recording of activity 1b and let the children read after it twice.
Then ask them to practice similar conversations using the information in Activity 1b.

Step Ⅱ 1a
This activity introduces new target language.
Read the instructions to the students.
Make sure that each one knows what to do.
Let the students look at the sentences in the left column first. Try to explain the four sentences in English for the children, especially the new phrasal verbs in the sentences. Say to them like this:
Please look at the sentences on the left column. Let’s get the meanings of them.
Let’s see the first one. I’ve run out of it
Here, run out of is a phrasal verb. It means reach an end of, use up or become short of. I’ve run out of it, means I’ve used it up, nothing left.
Explain the other sentences in the same way like this.
2. I take after my mother.
take after——be like sb. or be similar to sb.
I take after my mother. ——I am like my mother.
3. I fixed it up.
fix up——install, fit together and place in position, repair, renew
I fixed it up. ——I installed it, or I repair it.
4. I gave it away.
give away——make a present of, donate
I gave it away.——I donated it. I gave it to someone without money.
After explaining the sentences, read each sentence in the box and ask the students to repeat.
Then ask several students to explain the sentences with letters in front of them.
Tell them to explain them in their own sentences. For example, Sentence a, the student might respond. My bicycle was broken. I couldn’t ride it. I got new tires and a new seat. Now it works fine.
Read the instructions again and ask the students to match the sentences with similar meanings.
Say, Now match the numbered sentences with the lettered sentences in the box.
Write the letter of one sentence in front of the number of the matching sentence.
Look at the first sentence. The answer has been given. It’s Sentence b. Find out the answers to the other sentences.
Check the answers by asking different students to read their matched sentences.

Call the students’ attention to the phrasal verbs in the box. Have four different students explain each phrases in their own words.
Make sure each student knows the phrasal verbs’ meanings.
Then ask the students to read the instructions together.
Now let’s make sentences with the words in the box. Please look at the sample sentence in your book. Who would like to read it and explain it in your own language?
Ask one student to read the sample sentence and explain it. He or she might explain like this:更多免费教案下载绿色圃中小学教育网www.lspjy.com 分站www.fydaxue.com
The meaning of this sentence is I give my bicycle to charities without money.
Who can make another sentence with give away? Please put up your hands.
Ask two or three students who have put up their hands to say their sentences to the class. Correct any mistakes they may make.
Then have the students work individually. Make one sentence with each phrasal verb in the box. Tell them to write down their sentences on the lines next to the box.
Walk around the classroom as they write. Offer some help to them if they need. Try to remember who have made some wonderful sentences at the same time.
After all of them have finished writing, choose some children who have made some wonderful sentences to share theirs with the class. Choose some of the best sentences. Write them on the blackboard.
At last, ask the whole class to work in pairs and help each other. Let them check each other’s sentences very carefully.
Correct all the mistakes in writing or sentence structures that their partners’ may have made.
Sample answers:
run out of: He is always running out of money before payday.

Step Ⅵ 2a
This activity provides listening practice using target language. Call the students’ attention to the four pictures. Tell them the boy’s name is Jimmy. Read the instructions to the class. Your task is to number the pictures the correct order while you are listening to the conversation on the tape. But I want to ask you to guess the answer without listening now.
Try to put the four pictures in a certain order to show a story of Jimmy by yourselves now. I’ll see whose answers ant correct after we finish doing the listening practice.
Then have them give their own order by guessing. After a while, ask several ones to tell their answers to the whole class.
Collect two or three answers which many students support on the blackboard.
Next, ask some students to tell their own stories on the pictures according to their own orders. For example, if someone’s answer is a. 4 b. 2 c. 1 d. 3. he or she
may tell a story like this:
Jimmy got an old bike from someone. He fixed it up by himself. After he repaired it, he wanted to sell it to someone/he gave it away to someone. At last, he emptied both of his pockets.
It seemed that he had run out of his money.
The stories will vary. Ask them to work in pairs. Each one has to tell a story to the partner.
After that, ask the students to get ready to listen.
Say, We will hear a radio program. A man is interviewing a boy. Write a number in each short line next to each picture while you are listening. Your numbers should be from 1 through 4 and show which thing they talk about first, second, third and fourth.
Play the recording the first time.
Students only listen.
Then play the recording again. Ask students to number the pictures.
Check the answers. Remember to say congratulations to the children who guessed correctly.

Boy: I guess I take after my father. He’s always helping people.
Man: Wow! Your parents must be proud of you.

Ask the whole class to read the instructions together.
Then show a real flying disk to the children and tell the children the name of the toy is a flying disk in English.
You’ll have to write an article using the notes in the box. The article will tell how the flying disk was invented. At first, let’s go over the notes in the box. There are some new words.
Go over the notes with the class. Point out the new words. Teach them to read and do some explanation at the same time. Make sure that all the students make everything in the notes clear.
Then ask the children to look at the contents and the picture in the right box.
Look at the picture in the right box. We can see a flying plate in the animal’s mouth. And the title of the article has been given--From pie plate to flying disk. Also the first sentence has already been given to us. Let’s read the title and the first sentence together now.
Have the students read together.
Find out how the writer combined the phrases in the notes into one sentence and try to say out the next sentence.
Let them think for a while. Then ask several ones to say their sentences to the class. The sentences will vary, but have to be correct and meaningful.
For example, someone may say like this:
The original flying disk was really a metal pie plate from a bakery in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
Then ask the children to make their own sentences with the notes given and note to say out the sentences in proper order to be an article. Let them work in pairs, listen to and help each other.
After that, get the students to write their own articles. More around the classroom while they are writing, checking progress and offering help as necessary.
Next, ask several students to share their articles with the class.
Correct the mistakes they may have made
If time permits, get the students to work in pairs and check each other’s article.
Sample writing:
The flying disk is a toy which was invented by a group of college students. It was invented in the 1950s.
In fact, the students didn’t invent it.
They just discovered it. The original flying disk was really a metal pie plate from a bakery named Bridgeport in Connecticut. The students there liked to eat the bakery’s pies. And then they threw the pie plates around. A company began making plastic disk. Now there are flying disk clubs, a flying disk magazine, and even a national flying disk festival in September.
Don’t you think it’s amazing that all this started from a pie plate?
Step Ⅳ 4a
This activity provides reading and writing practice using the target language.
Read the instructions to the students.
There is always something that we hate doing. For example, I hate cleaning the blackboard. What about you?
Then ask some children to say the things they don’t like doing to the class.
After that, continue saying. Now please think of an invention that could help you.
For me, I want to invent a self-cleaning board with something like a car’s windsheld wipers. Then I would never need to clean the blackboard myself. What about you?
Get the students to discuss the things they hate doing and the inventions that could help them. Let them work in pairs.
Then call the children’s attention to the chart on the right.
Get them to look at the sample answer and try to complete the chart first.
Ask some children to give their answers to the blanks of use and price. Such as,
Use: to write tests instead of me by listening to me
Price: one hundred yuan per pen
Then get the students to fill in the chart with the details of their own inventions.
Don’t review the task. It will be done in the next task.

Get the students to ask and answer questions about their inventions 作者: admin 时间: 2011-2-1 19:21
in pairs first.
Ask a pair to make a model conversation before the whole begin practicing. For example, they may say like,
( B—Businessperson , I—Inventor)
B: Excuse me, what invention was invented by you?
I: A special pen.
B: What is it used for?
I: It is used for writing tests. While the test is on, the pen can write tests instead of persons according to what its owner tells it.
B: Wow, that’s great. How much would you like to sell it for?
I: I hope I can get 100 yuan.
B: OK. I will try to sell it to the class.
After that, let the students work in pairs, Imagine one is a businessperson and the other is an inventor while they are practicing.
Ask several pairs to share their conversations with the class.
Then tell them to look at the model conversation in the box.
Ask one student to read the conversation below to the class:
A: This special pen was invented by Zheng Jie. It has three colours and it is used for writing tests. It can listen and write while the test is on. It is 100 yuan.
Is anyone interested in it?
Then ask some others to share their presentations with the class.
They have to state the reason for buying them.
Then the class votes for the most popular invention they want to buy.

Step Ⅱ 1a
This activity introduces new vocabulary which can be used to narrate past events.
First write by the time on the blackboard. and tell the class the meaning of it.
"by the time" means not later than, before, as soon as, or when the indicated comes. When we use the words. "By the time…, "we are talking about two different things that happened in the past. Say this sentence to the class: By the time the teacher came in, the students had begun reading English.
Tell them to note the struture "had begun" in this sentence. Begun is the past participle of begin. When we talk about two events both happened in the past, the one which happened earlier should use and plus a past participle. The words following By the time…, talk about the thing that happened later. And tell the students when they use had plus a past participle, they are using the Past Perfect Tense. Also explain what is the past participle form of a verb for the students. Tell them it is as the same as the past form for a regular verb. And they have to remember the irregular verbs’ participles one by one.
Play a game to help the students understand the sentences with the words By the time…Do it like this:
Pretend that the teacher will leave the classroom and the students will do some things. When the teacher returns. the class will make statements starting with By the time…
Write By the time I came back…on the blackboard.
Say to the class, By the time I came in. what had happened?
Help one student to answer like this, By the time the teacher came in, Don had written his name on the blackboard.
Then get more students to answer differently, such as,
By the lime the teacher came in, we had discussed an English problem.
By the time the teacher came in, I had drawn a picture.
Write these sentences on the blackboard, and teach the students to read several times.
Read the instructions to the students and read these questions to the class as well.
What do you usually do in, the morning before school? Do you like morning?
Why or why not?
Choose one good student to answer them by saying something he or she usually does 作者: admin 时间: 2011-2-1 19:21
in the morning.
He or she may answer like this,
I usually get up early, wash my face and have breakfast. I like mornings because the air is fresh, or I usually get up as late as possible. Then I have to wash my face and have breakfast in a hurry. I often rush to school without breakfast. Sometimes I forget something at home. I don’t like mornings because I am always too busy.
Then have the whole class practice in pairs. Ask each other the questions.
After they finish talking, ask one or two pairs to say their conversations to the class. Correct the mistakes they may make with the other students.
Call the students’ attention to the pictures in Activity la. Ask students to tell what they see.
Say, Any sentences which make sense are accepted to describe the pictures.
The girl in the pictures is Tina. Present the new words by providing sentences showing the meanings of them like this:
T: What can you see in Picture 1?
S1: She slept a long time.
T: That’s correct. She slept too late. She overslept. Class repeat. She overslept.
Ss: She overslept.
T: What do you see in Picture 2?
S2: Her brother or sister is in the bathroom.
T: That’s correct. She wants to go into the bathroom. She can’t because someone is taking a shower. Class repeat. Someone is taking a shower.
Ss: Someone is taking a shower.
Write these words on the blackboard:
overslept, taking a shower, had left, left her backpack at home.
Then tell students to talk about the pictures in groups of four. Move around the classroom, listening to students and offering help. Make sure that they talk in English.
After they all finish talking, ask different groups to tell the class about the pictures. They may say like this:
Tina overslept in the morning. She wanted to go to the bathroom, but her brother had already gotten in the shower. When she got to the bus stop, the bus had already left.
She had to run to school. After she got to school, she realized she had left her backpack at home. The sentences can vary, but should be correct.
Step Ⅲ 1b
This activity gives students practice in understanding the target language in spoken conversation.
Ask the students to read the instructions together. Have them look at the two columns, A and B ,in the chart. Point out the sample answer. Read the two parts of the sentence.
Then go over the other unconnected parts of sentences, too.
You will connect the two parts of the sentences, connect a sentence beginning in the first column with the end of that sentence in the second column. Please guess the other two sentences before I play the tape.
I guess most of the children can get the correct sentences by guessing. So just let them guess. Don’t tell them whether their answers are right or wrong.
OK, just keep your answers by guessing.
Let’s decide if they are right by listening to the tape now.
Play the recording for the first time.
Students only listen. Then play it a second time. Let students match two parts of each sentence. Check the answers by asking some students to tell their answers.
Make sure that all of them have got the correct answers by listening. Say congratulations to the students who get the answers correctly by guessing.

Draw a simple time 作者: admin 时间: 2011-2-1 19:22
line for each sentence to help students to understand the grammar focus. For example:
Then get the students to look at the box.
Teach students to read the three forms of each verbs first. Then ask several students to read the verbs to the class to see if they can read. Write the verbs on the blackboard.
Ask the students to make sentences correctly using each form of the verbs in the box. For example:
I usually get up at 6:30.
I got up at 5:30 yesterday.
By the time I got up, my sister had already gotten in the shower.
Tell the students when we talk about the first thing that happened. We use had plus a past participle (had gotten) and when we talk about the second thing that happened, we use the simple past tense (got up). Ask some to read their sentences to the class.
Ask the students to make their own lists of other verbs used in this unit. Tell them to put the lists in their notebooks using a three-column format like the one in the Look! section. The lists have to include these verbs; leave, walk, start, oversleep, ring, be.
Check the answers.
Some sample sentences with the three verb forms

Culture note
Most people who speak English as a native language don’t have the same grammatical background as people who study English as a second language.
However, what a person who was born speaking English knows is whether or not things sound "right". He or she might not be able to explain the reason, but will usually have a good sense of how English should be used. Because English is a language made up from many different languages with a lot of odd rules, a learner should be a bit flexible and understand that some rules are made to be broken.

Independence is much different for young people in the West than in China. In America, 16 year-olds often learn to drive and have their own cars. By the age of 18 or 19, it’s common for young people to ‘move out’, leaving home for their own rented accommodation. The age for marrying is quite low for both young men and young women, usually in their late teens and there are no restrictions on the age for having children or number of children on can have.

Does everyone want to talk about his or her ancestors? Not really. Some people may have been adopted or may have divorced parents that they do not care to discuss. Some Australians are also sensitive about their ancestors for a different reason. In the early years of its settlement, many thousands of British citizens were transported to Australia for criminal offences. These offences were often mild for such a punishment, for example, a hungry child stealing a loaf of bread. Regardless, many Australians are descended from criminals and while some people laugh about it, others are not proud of the fact.

A sample answer
Dear Editor,
After reading the two letters, I realize that I must say something about animals and zoos. I don’t agree with Disgusted. In fact, many animals only eat once a day or once every few days, so feeding them just once a day is not a problem at all. I think zoos are very important to animals. They can stop many endangered animals from being killed or hunted. They can provide man with places for research work. Also we can visit the animals in the zoos to learn some knowledge to protect the animals better.
Sincerely,
×××
