who can make up a sentence with it?
give an example sentence with it, please.
ask several ones to say their sentences to the class. for example,
surfing makes us exciting.
the boy is very exciting when he is watching a football match.
then do the same with these new words in the box:
tiring, educational, peaceful, fascinating, thrilling, exotic
read the instructions to the students. be sure that everyone knows what to do.
tell students to look at the posters in the picture and compare them.
we can see three posters. tell me what you can see in each one.
then discuss the three posters with students. for poster one, help students to say, it is a beach. a man with sunglasses is sleeping, etc.
do the same to the other two posters.
read the words on each poster to students and then let them read together several times. ask some ones to tell the chinese meanings of the words to see if they can understand them. do some explanation if necessary.
call the students’ attention to the chart.
point to vacation 1,2 and 3 in the chart.
say, let’s choose the adjectives from the box for the three vacations. the adjectives you choose should correspond with the posters. now let’s use vacation 1 as a sample. which adjectives should we choose? who can tell me?
then ask several students to tell the class the words they’ve chosen. write down their answers on the blackboard like this:
vacation 1 take it easy on a florida beach!
adjectives: relaxing, peaceful, boring
who has got some other adjectives to describe it? some other adjectives you know, but not in the box?
ask some to say more besides the ones in the box, such as quiet, lazy.
write them on the blackboard, too.
please fill in the chart with the adjectives now. note to match the posters.
get them to fill in the answers by themselves. as they work, move around the room checking their progress and answering questions they may have.
check the answers.
step ⅲ 1b
we’ll listen to three students talking about where they would like to go on vacation and why. see the sample answers in the chart. write your answers like that while you hear. look at the three posters in activity la and do this part. each one of the three students, sam, gina and lydia, wants to go to one of the three places.
play the tape for the first time, and tell the students not to write in a hurry, just try to catch the main idea of the dialogue.
then play the recording again. ask them to write their answers this time.
