Period 1: A sample lesson plan for reading

(ANNE’S BEST FRIEND)

Aims

To talk about friendship

To read about friendship

Procedures

I. Warming up

1. Warming up by assessing

A lot of people have only few possibilities of getting feedback about their own personality. In this exercise you will have the opportunity to get some feedback and to discuss it with a partner. While comparing your mutual judgements, certain prejudices or misunderstandings may appear, as people often do not know each other thoroughly enough to judge others correctly. Try to be honest!

Self assessment

Of the following characteristics choose 5 that are particularly applicable to you personally.

sociable, honest, friendly, easygoing, nervous, open-minded, anxious, careful, talented, talkative, nosy, thoughtful, generous, carefree, pessimistic, peaceful, optimistic, interesting, reliable, helpful, active, careless, caring, exact, adventurous, imaginative, hot-blooded, well-organised, trustworthy, patient, responsible, outgoing, kind, brave, warm-hearted, selfless, tolerant

Partner assessment

Now choose 5 characteristic features which you think are especially applicable to your partner.

2. Warming up by describing

Have the students get into groups of four to describe their own ideal friend. Individual students must decide on TOP 5 character adjectives that could be used to describe the ideal friend and insist they have good reasons for their choice. Then let the group leader give the class a description of their ideal friend.

3. Further applying

You may also have the students do the survey in the textbook, following the steps below.

1. Get the students to make a list of three qualities a good friend should have.

2. Have the students get into groups of four to find out what each has listed.

3. Have a member of each group report on what their lists have in common and list them on the board.

4. Ask the class whether or not they agree with all the qualities listed.

5. Then have the students do the survey in the textbook.

6. Have the students score their survey according to the scoring sheet on page 8.

7. The teacher ask some students how many points they got for the survey and assess their values of friendship:

★ 4~7 points: You are not a good friend. You either neglect your friend’s needs or just do what he/she wants you to do. You should think more about what a good friend needs to do.

★ 8~12 points: You are a good friend but you sometimes let your friendship become too important, or you fail to show enough concern for your friend’s needs and feelings. Try to strike a balance between your friend’s needs and your own responsibilities.

★ 13+ points: You are an excellent friend who recognizes that to be a good friend you need balance your needs and your friend’s. Well done.

(You may also show your students the results above and let themselves self-reflect upon their own values of friendship)

II. Pre-reading

To focus the Students’ attention on the main topic of the reading passage.

To activate their previous knowledge on the topic.

III. Talking and sharing

Work in groups of four. Tell your group mates how you reflect on these questions.

1. Why do you need friends? Make a list of reasons why friends are important to you.

2. What do you think a good friend should be like? List what a good friend should do and share the list with your partners.

3. Does a friend always have to be a person? What else can be a friend?

4. Do you think a diary can become your friend? Why or why not?

Instructions: The teacher can give each group one of these questions above to talk about. Then let the class share their ideas. It’s better to stimulate the students to challenge their classmates’ opinions about these questions.

Possible answers

Q1: Reasons I need friends:

※ to cope with stressful situations in life

※ to share my worries and secrets in my inner world

※ to show my concern for other people

※ to let other people share my happiness

※ to unfold to other people the secrets in my heart (to name but few.)

Q2: A good friend should:

※ tell me the truth (honest)

※ be good to me (friendly)

※ be willing to consider or accept others’ ideas or opinions (open-minded)

※ be willing to help others (generous or helpful)

※ be good-tempered

※ think about what others need and try to help them (caring)

※ be loyal to their responsibility (responsible)

※ not easily upset (easy-going)

※ be out-going (like to meet and talk to new people)

※ be tolerant (allow other people to have different opinions or do something in a different way)

※ be selfless (to name but few)

Q3: What else can be a friend?

Answers can be various. (omitted)

Q4: Students’ answers may vary but must include a reason.

Yes. I think it can be, because I can set down how I feel every day in my diary, and let other people read it to share my feelings some time later. Above all, it feels good to write down my thoughts and feeling on paper when I am sad or lonely.

IV. Reading

1. Looking and guessing

Work in pairs. Look at the pictures and the heading and guess what the text might be about.

1). Imagine what it might be like if you had to stay in your bedroom for a whole year. You could not leave it even to go to the WC or to get a cup of tea. How would you feel?

2). What would you choose if you are only allowed to have five things with you in the hiding place because there is very little room?

2. Reading to summarise the main idea of each paragraph.

Skim the text and summarise the main idea of each paragraph in one sentence.

Para. One: Anne made her diary her best friend whom she could tell everything.

Para. Two: Anne’s diary acted as her true friend during the time she and her family had to hide away for a long time.

Para. Three: Having been kept indoors for so long, Anne grew so crazy about everything to do with nature.

3. Language focus

Next you are to read and underline all the useful expressions or collocations in the passage. Copy them to your notebook after class as homework.

laugh at, go through, make/call + O +Noun (as O.C.), hide away, set down, grow crazy about, do with…, there was a time when…, keep sb. spellbound, on purpose, in order to do sth., far too +adj./adv, happen to do sth., it was the first/second time that …, face to face

V. Closing down

Closing down by doing exercises

To end the lesson you are to do the comprehending Exercises 1 and 2.

Closing down by discussion of ideas

Work in groups of four. Discuss the ideas put forward in the reading passage. It does not matter whether you agree or disagree. What is important is that you should have a reason for what you say. Also you can put forward your own ideas, either criticising the text or using it as a support:

★ What would you do if your family were going to be killed just because they did something the Emperor did not like?

★ Where would you plan to hide?

★ How would you arrange to get food given to you every day?

What would you do to pass the time?

Period 2: A sample lesson plan for Learning about Language

(Direct & Indirect Speech(Ⅰ) statements & questions)

Aims

To discover useful words and expressions

To discover useful structures

Procedures

I. Warming up

Warming up by discovering useful words and expressions

Turn to page 4 and do Exercises 1, 2, 3 and 4 first. Then check your answers with your class partner.

II. Learning about grammar: Direct and Indirect Speech

1.Direct Speech

In direct speech, the original speaker's exact words are given and are indicated by quotation marks.

★ “I don’t know what to do,” said Dean.

In some grammar books, ‘said Dean’ is referred to as a reporting clause. “I don't know what to do,” is referred to as the reported clause.

2. Indirect Speech

In indirect speech, the exact meaning of the speaker’s words is given, but the exact words are not directly quoted.

★ Dean said that he didn’t know what to do.

To convert direct speech into indirect speech:

If the main verb is past tense, present tense verbs in ‘that clause’ must also be changed to past tense.

Dean said that he didn’t know what to do.

First and second person pronouns must be changed to third person pronouns.

Dean said that he didn’t know what to do.

(The word ‘that’ can often be left out: Dean said he didn’t know what to do.)

3. Indirect Questions

Direct question: “Did Marama’s horse win a prize?” Owen asked.

Indirect questions: Owen asked whether (or if) Marama’s horse had won a prize.

The same rules apply to indirect questions as to indirect statements. The difference is that a wh- clause is used instead of a that clause.

Direct question: “Why won’t you marry me?” asked Donald.

Indirect question: Donald asked her why she wouldn’t marry him.

In telling a story or recounting events, a speaker using direct speech has all the resources of intonation to produce a lively account. Because indirect speech is always speech reported by someone else, the account is more reserved and restrained.

“What shall we do?” asked Bev.

“Don’t worry, Bev,” said Duncan, “I’ve got a plan.”

Bev asked Duncan what they should do. He told her not to worry and that he had got a plan.

The ability to change direct speech into indirect speech is a useful skill for those engaged in taking the minutes of a meeting or reporting on events.

Direct speech: “First of all, I would like to thank everybody who helped with the fair. The results were very good, and we will now be able to buy two more computers.”

Indirect speech: The principal said that he would like to thank everybody who had helped with the fair. He announced that the results were very good and that the school would now be able to buy two more computers.

III. Discovering words and expressions

Do exercises 1, 2, 3 and 4 on page 4 and 5. Check your work with your partner’s.

IV. Discovering structures

Do exercise 1 and 2. Check your work with your partner’s.

Period 3: A sample lesson plan for Using Language

(A letter from a student to the editor of The 21st Century)

Aims

To listen to a letter about friendship

To speak about a questionnaire about friendship

To write advice about friendship

To write a few lines describing a friend

Procedures

I. Warming up

1. Read the letter to Miss Wang and find out what was upsetting Lisa.

2. Listen to what Miss Wang says, and then answer the questions in Exercise 2.

3. Listen to the tape again and try to spell out the missing words in Ex 3.

II. Talking about designing a questionnaire

Work in groups of four. Design a questionnaire to find out what kind of friends your classmates are. Ask the Students to use the quiz in the Warming Up as an example.

Note: The students should be talking while they are doing the task. This provides the students with the opportunity to practise expressing thought and concern in matters of immediate concern and interest. Tell the students to follow these steps:

Step1: In your group, come up with four situations among friends. Design four questions accordingly with three possible answers.

Step2: Put the four questions together and form a questionnaire.

Step3: Check the questionnaire through and try it out on your own group.

Step4: Share your questionnaire with another group and try each other’s questionnaires.

Sample questionnaire:

This questionnaire has four questions, and each question is followed by a set of possible answers. Please read the questions, and then consider which response fits you best.

1.Why am I close friends with this person now?

A. Because being friends with him/her helps me feel important.

B. Because my friend would be upset if I ended the relationship.

C. Because he/she is someone I really enjoy sharing emotions and special events with.

2. Why do I spend time with my friend?

A. Because my friend would get mad at me if I didn’t.

B. Because it is fun spending time with him/her.

C. Because I think it is what friends are supposed to do.

3.Why do I listen to my friend’s problems, or to what my friend has to say?

A. Because my friend praises me and makes me feel good when I do.

B. Because it’s interesting and satisfying to be able to share like that.

C. Because I really value getting to know my friend better.

4.Why do I keep promises to my friend?

A. Because I believe it is an important personal quality to live up to my promises to a friend.

B. Because it would threaten our friendship if I were not trustworthy.

C. Because I would feel bad about myself if I didn’t.

Scoring Sheet:

Q1 A 1point

Q2 A 1point

Q3 A1 point

Q4 A3 points

B 2points B 2points B2 points B2 points

C 3points C 3points C3 points C1 point

☆ 4~6 points: You are not a good friend. You either neglect your friend’s needs or just do what he/she wants you to do. You should think more about what a good friend needs to do.

☆ 7~9 points: You are a good friend but you sometimes let your friendship become too important, or you fail to show enough concern for your friend’s needs and feelings. Try to strike a balance between your friend’s needs and your own responsibilities.

☆ 10+ points: You are an excellent friend who recognizes that to be a good friend you need balance your needs and your friend’s. Well done.

Students work in groups and try their own questionnaires in the school to collect more information about students’ reflection of the values of friendship.

III. Guided writing

1. Read the letter to the editor from Xiaodong and make sure you know what problem Xiaodong has.

2. Discuss in groups of four. Think what advice you can give Xiaodong.

3. Write your advice to Xiaodong as an editor individually.

Sample writing:

Dear Xiaodong,

Some people like talking with others, but some people are shy. If you fall into the second group, it can be hard to make friends. But you can change the situation.

What are you interested in? If you like basketball, for example, you could talk with some of your classmates who like basketball. The easiest way to start talking to people is to find something you have in common.

If you are standing beside a group of your classmates, join in their discussion if you know something about the subject they are discussing. But if you don’t, you shouldn’t feel afraid to say, for example, “That sounds interesting, what is it about?” Once you start talking to one person, it will get easier to talk to others.

Find one person you have something in common with, and once you become friends with him, his friends will start talking to you too.

Good luck!

Editor

IV. Writing assessment

1. Can you give Xiaodong some good advice?

2. I s your letter well developed?

3. Are your ideas well organized to the point?

4. Do you have a good choice of words and idioms in your writing?

5. Do you get a good mastery of complex structures of language?

6. What kind of mistakes have you made in your writing? What can you do to avoid such mistakes?

V. Further Applying

Here are some proverbs about friends and friendship. Read them carefully and pay attention to the sentence stress and intonation. Then write a passage. Choose some you agree and explain why. Then choose some you disagree and explain why.

■You may also have the students complete the task as homework after class.

A true friendship should:

☉encourage you to live your dream.

☉support you toward your goals.

☉sympathize for your losses and help you find a silver lining.

☉build your self-esteem.

If happiness and life-satisfaction are your goals, your friends should be chosen on the basis of how well they can accomplish those four goals.

Happiness is a personal choice that comes from within. But, as the friendship poem says, it surely doesn’t hurt to have supportive friendships that help us achieve our goals.

IV. Self-reflection upon friendship

Read the following statements and then tick Yes (√) or No( ×) to show your opinions upon friendship.

1. Friendship is very important to me.

2. I have a lot of friends.

3. There can be true friendship between a schoolboy and a schoolgirl.

4. I am very kind to my friends.

5. I think everyone should have friends.

6. Friends must have the same character.

7. I keep a diary and think it is my close friend.

8. When my friend is in trouble, I am always ready to help.

9. I don’t like to talk to others very much. I like to be alone.

10. I keep a pet animal and treat it like a friend.

A friendship poem

Choose friends wisely, the portrait they paint

Is who you are and who you ain’t.

Friendship is life’s great support

When friends are of the right sort.

For all your dreams do they make room,

Or bring you down with doom and gloom?

You will know a friendship is true.

When it brings out the best in you.

It’s true. You can tell a person by the company she keeps. Our friendships not only tell a lot about who we are --- they make us who we are. The friendship poem above says it all. You will know a friendship is true when it brings out the best in you.

Take a look at your friends. Do they bring out the best in you? That might seem like a silly question. We all tend to think, “Of course they bring out the best in me. I wouldn’t be friends with them otherwise.”

Section 2: Vocabulary teaching strategy

I. The role of vocabulary teaching

In the context of learning English as a foreign language, a learner is forced to be autonomous and independent and make conscious effort to learn vocabulary outside the classroom simply because the exposure to the target language is limited in class. So teachers cannot rely on their students ‘picking up’ lexical items. This makes explicit vocabulary teaching necessary. However, vocabulary is notoriously difficult if not impossible to teach because of the complexity of its linguistic, semantic and psycho-cognitive aspects

II. Best approach

There are no universally useful strategies and they contribute to vocabulary learning in different ways. Students use a number of strategies, often simultaneously. The efficiency of vocabulary learning depends on how students combine individual strategies. If students combine and employ individual strategies from different groups they will be more successful in developing the target language lexicon. Thus, the ideal combination would be that of strategies from all four groups.

The teacher should create activities and tasks (to be done both in and outside class) to help students to build their vocabulary and develop strategies to learn the vocabulary on their own. Students experiment and evaluate and then decide which to adopt or reject since strategies are not intended to be prescriptive.

III. Practical activities

Here is a selection of practical activities that direct learners towards using strategies of vocabulary learning.

1. The useful alphabet (self-initiated independent learning)

Each student gets a letter and has to find 5, 10 or 15 words he or she thinks would be useful for him or her. He or she then report to the class, perhaps as a mingle activity, using word cards (on one side they write the letter, on the other the information on the word - spelling, pronunciation, definition).

2. Word bag (formal practice)

This is to get your students to write down new words they hear in class.

At the beginning of the term/course, divide students into groups of about 5 and give each group a number (e.g. 1-6). At the beginning of each class, give each group about 10 cards on which they write the number of their group and the new words they hear in class. At the end of each class, they put their cards into the “word bag” and every 2 weeks you check whether they still know those words and which group has the most cards. In the end there are two winners: the group that has the most cards, and the one that knows more words.

3. Especially for you (Functional practice)

The teacher prepares a list of words. Each student gets one word, which is prepared especially for him or her. The trick is that each student gets a word whose initial letter is the same as the initial of the student’s first name, e.g. Linda gets listless. Each student must look it up in the dictionary during the class and after a few minutes report to the class. E.g. “My name is Linda and I’m listless. That means that I am ... (definition)...”. For homework students can do the same using their surname.

4. Word tour (memorizing)

Instructions for your students: Think of a town or city you know well. Imagine that you are organizing a sightseeing tour. Think of 5 places you would include on your tour and write down the order in which the tourists would visit them. Learn your tour off by heart so that you can picture it in your mind. Whenever you have 5 new English words to learn, imagine these words are the tourists on your tour and picture the words in the places on your tour like this.

Tour: Trafalgar Square; Buckingham Palace; Houses of Parliament; Westminster Abbey; Downing Street. Words to learn: apron, dustpan, vacuum cleaner, feather duster, broom. Imagine Nelson on his column in Trafalgar Square wearing an apron, the queen brushing the floor in Buckingham Palace and using a dustpan...
