Step 1 Revision

Ask the Ss What do you usually do on Sunday?

List the answers on the Bb. Collect as many activities as possible, by asking What other things do people do on Sunday? Help Ss with pictures and gestures if necessary.

Step 2 Presentation

On the Bb, make a column, headed Sunday, October____(fill in next Sunday's date). Down the left-hand side write the names of some of the characters in the book： Jim, Li Lei, Lucy, Lily, etc.

Present this dialogue:

A：What are you going to do next Sunday, Jim?

B：Oh, I'm going to fly my kite. Next to Jim's name on the Bb write fly my kite.

Repeat for the others (do some shopping, watch TV, have a swim). Give the Ss a model： What's Jim going to do next Sunday? He's going to fly his kite.

Then ask What's Jim/ Li Lei/Lucy/Lily going to do next Sunday? Help the Ss to answer using He's/She's going to…．

Explain that be going to is a way of talking about future plans.

Step 3 Drill

Go round the class asking randomly:

What are you going to do next Sunday? What's he/she going to do next Sunday? What's Li Lei going to do next Sunday? etc.

Step 4 Read and act

SB page 13, Part 1. Ask What are Lin Tao and Sam going to do tomorrow? Ss read the dialogue silently to find the answer. Go through the dialogue briefly. Explain that Nothing much means I am free and Why? means What do you suggest?

Note that Sure1 =Certainly! and Jim's coming(= Jim's going to come) refers to the future(as the Present Continuous Tense sometimes does).

Speech Cassette Lesson 13. Play the tape. Ss listen and repeat.

Divide the class into two groups, then in pairs to practise the dialogue. Get some pairs to act it out.

Make up a new dialogue using be going to have a swim. Practise it with the class. Then let the Ss work in pairs, making up new dialogues using the words in the box on the right. Ask some pairs to act theirs out.

Do Wb Lesson 13, Ex.1.(You may ask them questions orally yourself if time is short.）

Step 5 Presentation

Get the Ss to call out the days of the week. Write them on the Bb. Get the Ss to give you these English phrases morning, afternoon, evening night.

Model different questions(Ss listen and repeat)： What are you going to do on Thursday afternoon/ Tuesday evening? etc. Note the use of the preposition on.

Step 6 Drill

Point to a day of the week and a period of the day as a drill cue:

T：(pointing to Friday and morning)

Ss：What are you going to do on Friday morning?

T：(pointing to Sunday and afternoon)

Ss：What are you going to do on Sunday afternoon?

T：(pointing to Wednesday and evening) She

Ss：What is she going to do on Wednesday evening? etc.

Step 7 Practice

SB page 13, Part 2. Ss ask and answer in pairs.

Get some Ss to give an example. Note that this and next can be used with afternoon, Sunday, week, month and year to form future expressions.

Step 8 Workbook

Wb Lesson 13, Exx. 2, 3 and 4. Do these exercises orally. For Ex. 4, give a hint to the Ss： tell them that Ma Lili's class is going to work in the school factory this afternoon. The answers are： are going to; are we going to; We are going to; all right/ OK; Bye.
