LESSON STRUCTURE CLASS OPENING

Greeting Greet the class.

Say: Good morning/afternoon, Class. Nice to see you. Review

1) Homework check.

2)Play Around and Around to review some of the key phrases from the previous class.

Give directions that make use of the key phrases.

Individual students take turns listening to your directions, answering your questions and moving around the classroom. Give directions such as:

Teacher: Please walk along the blackboard.

Please go to Student A's desk and then turn left/right.

Is this ruler long? Is this ruler wide? Put your pencil beside your book.

Do you live down the street? Teacher: Can I have an eraser?

Student A: Sure!

Teacher: Can I wear your shoes?

Student B: No, you can't. No, you may not.

* See the "Games" section at the back of this guide for further instructions on how to play.

3)If time allows, choose some groups to present their "My Statue" drawing in front of the class.

KEY CONCEPTS

Focus Structures:

I can't believe it! Is it safe?

You will be all right. It will be fun!

STEP 1: PRESENT

1) Instruct the students to look at the pictures in Lesson 5.

Ask: Where are Danny and Jenny? (A: They are in the desert city-Dunhuung.)

How do you know they are in the desert? (A: Because there is a lot of sand in the picture.)

Say: Danny and Jenny are riding on camels. Camels live in the desert.

2)Ask the students to read the title of the lesson 5 (Another Stop along the Silk Road).

Ask: What is the Silk Road? Is it a road made of silk? (A: No, it's not. It is a route that some people travelled on a long time ago. It gets its name from the silk trade.) Say: Marco Polo is a famous person who travelled on the Silk Road.

3)Ask: What does the word "stop"mean? (A: "Stop i the  opposite of“go”.)

Explain that stop has two meanings. In this case, 'a stop" means a place where you stop and not the opposite of "go". Give the example of bus stop or train stop.

STEP 2: LISTEN

CLASS WORK: Let's Do It! No. I

1)Play the audiotape for Lesson 5(Another Stop along the Silk Roud). The students listen and complete the exercise. Check the answers as a class.

2)If time allows, play the audiotape a second time and ask the class to read aloud with the tape.

STEP 3: BREAK IT DOWN

After you've listened to the lesson, review what was learned.

Discuss: What is a "main stop"?

Can you guess why Dunhuang is famous as the City of Sands?

What does "I can't believe it!"mean? What does "safe"mean?

What animal are Danny and Jenny riding on? Where do they meet the "camel man"?

What does "on their way"mean? Why is Danny afraid to ride the camel?

Why does Danny say, "Look at me. I'm Marco Polo!"?

STEP 4: PRACTICE
