Growing smart教案

(this section aims at providing students with opportunities to practise the language/vocabulary needed or become familiar with the background for the task that follows.
1. ask students to bring to the class a photo of themselves taken a long time ago and a photo taken recently. ask some students what bad habits they had in the past and have when you were a little boy/girl? write the bad habits in the board and help students to produce the target language, like this: i used to ______ . write the sentence on the board.
2. play a confessing game. teacher starts the game by talking about his/her bad habits that he/she has stopped doing, like this: i used to eat too many sweets. i don’t eat too many sweets any longer./now i don’t eat sweets. write the sentences on the board to get students familiar with the target language. students form a bug circle and call out a number from 1 to 5 by turns to get into groups. one at a time, students say two sentences about a bad habit they used to have and have now overcome. a student who repeats another classmate’s bad habit loses the game and leave the circle. the game then continues with the next person in the circle. after ten minutes, the group with most members remaining in the circle wins the game.
3. play the recording: look and read. students listen and follow in their books.
4. ask for volunteers to act out the conversations of the characters.
