:小学六年级英语教案——Could you help me, please? Lesson 66 1

Note: You will need to bring a box to this lesson. It should be large enough to hold several objects such as books, pens, notebooks, etc.

Step 1 Revision

1 Revise Whos on duty today? Is everyone here? etc. Ask What day is today? Teach the appropriate day of the week. (From now on, do this every day until the students are familiar with the names of the days and the months.)

2 Check homework.

3 Revise Whats this? Whats that? using the parts of the body mentioned in the riddle.

4 Give the students a few minutes to practise reading the riddle from Lesson 65. Tell them to pay close attention to the pronunciation and the intonation. Then ask several of the students to recite the riddle to the whole class.

Step 2 Presentation

1 Show the students the box that you have brought. Ask Is it big or small? Is it heavy or light? (When you ask this question, act out carrying something heavy and act out carrying something light). What colour is it?

2 Collect objects from students by asking them Could I have a (an) pen / pencil / eraser, please? Help them to reply Certainly! Here you are.

3 For each object ask the students Can you describe it? Explain the meaning of describe. Help them to say Its old. Its heavy. Its red. etc. Place each object inside the box, out of sight. Collect about ten different objects. Once the box is full, teach full and full of.

4 Ask the students Whats in my box? Talk about one object at a time. Do not take the object out of the box until the students have described it as fully as possible. Once the box is empty, teach empty.

5 Teach certainly. Ask the students Whose is this pen / ruler, etc? Help the owner of the object to ask Could I have the pen / ruler, please? Say Certainly!

Step 3 Practice

In pairs, have the students write a dialogue using the above expressions taught in Step 2. Choose several pairs to present their dialogues to the class.

Step 4 Read and say

SB Lesson 66, Page 2, Part 1, Speech Cassette Lesson 66. Write Is the box heavy or light? on the Bb. With books closed, play the tape. Students listen and then answer the question. (light) Ask why is the box light? (Its empty.) Practise the dialogue in pairs.

Step 5 Read and say

1 SB Lesson 66, Page 2, Part 2, Speech Cassette Lesson 66. Students listen to the tape with their books closed. Then ask Why is the box heavy? (Because it is full of books.) Ask the students to open their books and listen to the tape again and repeat.

2 Next, have the boys read Hu Mings part and the girls read the teachers part. Teach the word too. Tell the students the meaning of carry and I want to take some books to the classroom. Practise in pairs while acting out the dialogue. Remember to walk around the room and help the students as needed. If time permits, you may choose several pairs to act out the dialogue for the class.

Step 6 Listen and answer

SB Page 2, Part 3, Listening Cassette Lesson 66. Read through the questions in Wb Lesson 66, Ex. l before you play the tape.
