8A Unit 1 Friends 教案
ss: handsome, smart, good-looking, beautiful, pretty, lovely…
t: well done! you’ve learnt a lot. but do you know that some words are suitable for girls only and some are for boys only? of course there’re also some for both girls and boys. let’s put them in the right places.
girls：beautiful, pretty, lovely, slim
boys：handsome, good-looking, smart
ss do part b, p11.
2. t: now we’ve learnt a lot of words to describe girls and boys, face and hair, etc. let’s have a group competition. please write down as many words as possible in the given time according to my instructions. you must listen carefully and make sure you’re writing the right words. for example, if i ask you to write some words to describe hair, you can’t write round or square, ok?
1) would you please write some words which are used only for boys?
2) would you please write some words which describe a person’s face?
3) would you please write some words which describe a person’s build?
4) would you please write some words which are used for both girls and boys?
ss work in groups. four groups come to the blackboard. each time only one of them writes and the others can shout loudly to help.
step 5 practice
1. t: now let’s check how well you have learnt. could you describe the appearance of the person you know best? it’s youself!
get some students to come to the front of the classroom to describe their own appearances, try to use as many adjectives they’ve learnt as possible.
2. t: as there’s still some time left, we can play one more game called “twenty questions”. please try to guess who i am thinking about by asking me questions about his or her appearance. you can’t ask special questions and i can only answer “yes” or “no”. if you are smart enough, you may not need to ask 20 questions! then you can play this game with your classmates. here is a model:
t: i’m thinking about a boy in this class.
s1: is he tall?
t: yes.
s2: is he strong?
t: no.
s3: is he our monitor?
t: no.
s4: does he have big eyes?
t: yes.
……
ss ask questions and guess. then the one who gets the right answer comes to the front and the other students ask him/ her questions to continue the game.
step 6 homework
describe the appearance of someone you like very much. he or she may be your friend, your parent or your favorite star. try to bring a photo of his or hers here tomorrow. let’s see how well you can use the words you’ve learnt.
