teaching procedures
step 1 warming - up
i will help students review the twelve star signs by showing them pictures of star signs. ask students to say the names of star signs correctly and talk about each star sign. for example, “samuel was born on 5th april” someone says he is selfish and impatient at times, but i don’t think so. i think he is kind and energetic. (students can look at the passages on page 7 and talk about their friends’ characteristics according to the star signs.)
step 2 presenting
when students are talking about their friends’ characteristics, i will write down the adjectives they use. then i will ask students to tell which are good characteristics and which are bad ones. let one of the students guess the opposite of the word “fair” (fair - unfair)
step 3 practice
1. ask students to finish part a on page 8. then check the answer in class.
(1. active 2. selfish 3. proud 4. strong 5. outgoing 6. impatient
7. hard-working 8. unfair)
