LESSON STRUCTURE
CLASS OPENING
Greeting
Greet the class and introduce the topic of today's lesson.
Teacher: The title of today's lesson is "Best Wishes". Who can tell me what best wishes are?
Students: Best wishes are words of support and encouragement that we say to people to let them know we care about them and hope good things will happen to them.
Teacher: That's right. Good work. What might you say in Chinese to send your best wishes?
Write down a few phrases and try to translate them. Have the students share their Chinese best wishes and the English translations with the class.
Review
1)Homework check.
2)Choose some students to present their Tips for Good Time Management.
KEY CONCEPTS
FOCUS STRUCTURES:
Be sure to always stay in touch! Step 1: Present
INDEPENDENT/CLASS/GROUP WORK: Think About It
1)Ask the students to independently write down their answers to the Think About It questions. For the first question, students should write a list of things they will miss about junior high school. Then have them share their lists with the class.
EXAMPLE:
Things I'll miss about junior high school having lunch with my friends
gym class
my favourite teacher taking the bus to school
2)For the second question, students should write down (in point form) some things they'd like to say to a good friend before they graduate. Encourage the students to write down specific things they'd like to say. You may want to give the students some ideas to help them get started. Then have them share their "best wishes" in groups.
Teacher: When we say goodbye to good friends we usually wish them well. What does it mean to wish someone well?
Students: To wish someone well means to let them know that you hope good things will happen to them in the future.
Teacher: Very good. What kinds of good things do most people hope for in their future?
Students: Most people hope to be happy, healthy, and successful.
Teacher: That's right. Here are some general things you can say to wish someone well.
I wish you all the best./Wishing you all the happiness in the world./May you achieve everything you strive for./Hope you always do well. But when you send best wishes to a good friend you can make it more specific to them.

EXTENSION
GROUP/CLASS WORK: Two Lies And A Truth Play Two Lies And A Truth to review vocabulary and concepts from this unit.
1) Play this game in groups or as a class. Provide each student with a slip of paper. Instruct everyone to write down three statements about their favourite memories from junior high school. Two of the statements should be false and one of them should be true. Allow everyone about 5 minutes to come up with three good statements.
2) Select one volunteer to go first. That student should read aloud his or her three statements. Then have the other students vote as a group or class on which statement they think is true.
3)Ask the volunteer to reveal the correct answer. The students who guessed correctly should earn a point for a correct guess.
4)Continue the game by having each student read his or her statements and then conducting a vote. Participants should continue marking down a point each time they make a correct guess.
5)Once all the students have had a chance to share their statements, each student or group should tally up their points. The student or group with the most correct guesses at the end has won the game. LANGUAGE NOTES
