How was your day? Before we start our new lesson, let's have a quick review. Who can come to the blackboard and write down some phrasal verbs we learned last class, like “fix up”, “give away”, “take after” and “run out of”? And use them to make simple sentences. (Call a few students to the blackboard.) Student 1: (Writes on the blackboard) I fixed up my old books and gave them away to my little cousin. Student 2: I take after my mother in being organized. I never run out of ideas for school projects. Teacher: Great job, you two! Now, let's look at these sentences together. Read them aloud, class. (Students read the sentences.) Now, let's think about another way we can help in our community. Look at this picture on the screen. (Shows a picture of a group of people teaching children to read in a community center.) What are they doing? Student 3: They are teaching kids to read. Teacher: Exactly! Helping others is a wonderful thing to do. Today, we are going to read a passage about a special group of volunteers. Let's get started! Step 2: Pre - reading (10 minutes) Teacher: Open your textbooks to page 14. First, look at the title of the passage in 2a, “Students Who Volunteer”. What do you think this passage will be about? Discuss with your partners for 2 minutes and then share your ideas. (Students discuss in pairs.) Teacher: Time's up. Who wants to share their thoughts? Student 4: I think it will be about students who do volunteer work. Maybe it will talk about what they do, where they volunteer and why they do it. Teacher: That's a very good prediction. Now, let's look at the pictures in 2a. What can you see in each picture? Student 5: In the first picture, I can see a student teaching a younger kid to read. In the second picture, there are some students cleaning up a park, and in the third picture, a student is visiting an old people's home. Teacher: Excellent observation. Now, let's learn some new words and phrases that will help us understand the passage better. First, “volunteer”. (Write “volunteer” on the blackboard.) As a verb, it means to offer to do something without being paid. For example, I volunteer to help at the local library every weekend. As a noun, it refers to a person who does this. Can you make a sentence using “volunteer” as a noun? Student 6: My sister is a volunteer at the animal shelter. Teacher: Great! Next word, “lonely”. (Write “lonely” on the blackboard.) It is an adjective, meaning sad because one has no friends or company. For example, The old man feels lonely since his children moved away. Now, “several”. (Write “several” on the blackboard.) It means more than two but not very many. For instance, I have several books about history. And “strong”. (Write “strong” on the blackboard.) Besides its common meaning of having physical power, here it means having a lot of determination. For example, She has a strong will to succeed in her volunteer work. Let's practice using these words. I'll describe a situation, and you use the correct word to fill in the blank. “I want to help others, so I decide to ____ at the hospital.” Students: volunteer Teacher: “The little boy lost his way in the park and felt very ____.” Students: lonely Teacher: “I bought ____ apples at the supermarket.” Students: several Teacher: “The athlete has a ____ body and a ____ mind.” Students: strong; strong Step 3: While - reading (15 minutes) Teacher: Now, let's read the passage in 2b quickly. Don't worry about every word. Just try to get the main idea. After reading, tell me what the passage is mainly about. Start reading! (Students read the passage quickly.) Teacher: Okay, time's up. What is the main idea of this passage? Student 7: The passage is mainly about three students, Mario, Mary and Jimmy, who do different kinds of volunteer work and how they feel about it. Teacher: Very good! Now, let's read the passage more carefully. This time, answer the questions in 2c. You can underline the relevant sentences in the passage. (Students read the passage again and answer the questions.) Teacher: Let's check the answers. For the first question, “What does Mario volunteer to do?”, who can answer? Student 8: Mario volunteers at an animal hospital. He helps the animals there. Teacher: Right! And for the second question, “What does Mary volunteer to do?”, Student 9: Mary volunteers to help kids learn to read at an after - school reading program. Teacher: Correct. And for “Why does Jimmy fix up old bikes?”, Student 10: Jimmy fixes up old bikes and gives them away to kids who don't have enough money to buy bikes. Teacher: Well - done. Now, let's read the passage one more time. This time, pay attention to the language used to describe their feelings and reasons for volunteering. Find some key sentences and share them with the class. Student 11: Mario says, “It's hard work, but I want to learn more about how to care for animals.” This shows that he likes his volunteer work although it's hard. Student 12: Mary says, “I can do what I love to do and help others at the same time.” It means she enjoys both what she does and helping others. Teacher: Excellent. These sentences help us understand the students' feelings better. Step 4: Post - reading (10 minutes) Teacher: Now, let's do a group work. In groups of four, discuss the following questions. First, which volunteer work do you think is the most interesting? Second, if you could volunteer, what would you like to do and why? You have 5 minutes to discuss. (Students discuss in groups.) Teacher: Time's up. Which group would like to share your discussion results? Group 1: We think the volunteer work of teaching kids to read is the most interesting. If we could volunteer, we would like to teach kids English. Because we are good at English and we want to help kids learn a new language. It will be very meaningful. Teacher: That's a great idea. Another group? Group 2: We find the work at the animal hospital very interesting. We would like to volunteer at an old people's home. We want to talk to the old people, listen to their stories and make them feel less lonely. Teacher: Wonderful! It seems that you all have great ideas about volunteer work. Now, let's move on to 2e. Here, you need to write a short article about your own volunteer plans. Use the information from the passage and your group discussion. You can start like this: “I have always wanted to volunteer. I think I will...” You have 5 minutes to write. (Students write their articles.) Step 5: Summary and Extension (5 minutes) Teacher: Let's stop here. Now, let's summarize what we have learned today. We read a passage about students who volunteer. We learned new words like “volunteer”, “lonely”, “several” and “strong”. We also learned about different kinds of volunteer work and how the volunteers feel. For homework, I want you to finish writing your article about volunteer plans neatly on a piece of paper. And next class, we will share them with each other. Also, think about how you can actually start your volunteer work in the future. That's all for today's class. Goodbye, class! Students: Goodbye, teacher! 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
