How are you all today? Are you ready for an exciting English class? Ss: Good morning, teacher! We are ready! T: Great! Before we start our new journey in this unit, let's have a little warm - up. I know you all love stories. Can anyone share a story that you really like? It could be a fairy tale, an adventure story, or any kind of story. （Pause for students to think and raise hands） S1: I like the story of “Cinderella”. It's about a girl who was treated badly by her step - family but finally met her prince and lived happily ever after. T: That's a classic fairy tale. I'm sure many of you know it well. What about others? S2: I like “Journey to the West”. Sun Wukong and his companions have so many amazing adventures on their way to get the Buddhist scriptures. T: Wonderful! “Journey to the West” is full of magic and adventure. Today, we are going to explore a different kind of adventure story. Look at the screen. （Show pictures related to pirate stories, like a pirate ship, a treasure chest, etc.） What can you see? What kind of stories do these pictures remind you of? S3: I see a pirate ship and a treasure chest. They remind me of pirate adventure stories. T: Exactly! Today, we will focus on a very famous pirate - themed adventure story called “Treasure Island”. Have any of you heard of it before? （Some students may raise their hands） Well, even if you haven't, it doesn't matter. By the end of this class, you will know more about this exciting story. Step 2: New Words Teaching T: First, let's learn some new words that are related to our story. （Write the new words on the blackboard: treasure, island, classic, page, hurry, due） T: Let's start with “treasure”. Read after me, /ˈtreʒə(r)/. （Read several times and ask students to repeat） Treasure means valuable things, like gold, silver, and jewels. Pirates always search for treasure. For example, “The pirates found a lot of treasure on the hidden island.” Now, can you try to make a sentence with “treasure”? （Call on a student） S4: My grandpa has a box of old coins. He says they are his treasures. T: Very good sentence! Next, “island”. /ˈaɪlənd/. An island is a piece of land surrounded by water. For instance, “There are many beautiful islands in the ocean.” Repeat it. （Students repeat） T: Then, “classic”. /ˈklæsɪk/. A classic is something that is very famous and has been popular for a long time. “Treasure Island” is a classic adventure story. Read it together. （Students read） T: Now, “page”. /peɪdʒ/. A page is one side of a piece of paper in a book, magazine, etc. Open your books to page XX. How many pages are there in this book? Read it. （Students read） T: “Hurry”. /ˈhʌri/. When you hurry, you do something quickly. For example, “Hurry up, or we will be late for school.” Read it one more time. （Students read） T: And the last word, “due”. /djuː/. It can mean expected to happen, arrive, etc. The book is due to be published next month. Repeat after me. （Students repeat） Step 3: Pre - listening (1a) T: Now, open your books to page XX, and look at 1a. Here are some books. Let's read their names together. T& Ss: “Treasure Island”, “Alice in Wonderland”, “Little Women”, “Oliver Twist”, “Tom Sawyer”. T: These are all very famous classic books. Do you know anything about these books? Let's talk about them one by one. What do you know about “Treasure Island”? S5: It's about pirates looking for treasure. T: Right! And “Alice in Wonderland”? S6: It's about a girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit hole and has many strange adventures. T: Excellent! What about “Little Women”? S7: It's about the lives of four sisters. T: Good. And “Oliver Twist”? S8: It's about an orphan boy named Oliver Twist. T: Very good. And “Tom Sawyer”? S9: It's about a naughty boy Tom Sawyer and his adventures. T: Great. Now, look at the pictures in 1a again. I will describe a story, and you tell me which book it is. Listen carefully. This story is about a young boy who lives in a small town along the Mississippi River. He has many exciting adventures with his friends, like going to an island to play pirates. Which book is it? S10: “Tom Sawyer”! T: Correct! Now, let's do one more. This story is about a girl who follows a white rabbit and enters a magical world where everything is strange and different. S11: “Alice in Wonderland”! T: Well done. Now, let's move on to the next part. Step 4: While - listening (1b) T: Listen, boys and girls. We are going to listen to a conversation between two people. They are talking about the books in 1a. While you are listening, match the names of the books with the people who have read them. Are you ready? T: （Play the recording） T: OK, time's up. Let's check the answers. Who has read “Treasure Island”? S12: Tina. T: Right. Write “Tina” next to “Treasure Island”. And “Alice in Wonderland”? S13: Both Bob and Tina. T: Correct. Write “Bob & Tina” next to it. What about “Little Women”? S14: Neither of them. T: Good. Leave it blank. And “Oliver Twist”? S15: Bob. T: Well done. Write “Bob” next to “Oliver Twist”. And “Tom Sawyer”? S16: Bob. T: Perfect. Write “Bob” next to it. Let's listen to the recording one more time to make sure. （Play the recording again） T: Now, do you understand better? If you have any questions about the listening, feel free to ask me. Step 5: Post - listening (1c) T: Now, let's work in pairs. Look at the books in 1a again. Talk about which books you have read and what you think of them. Use the sentence pattern “Have you read... yet? Yes, I have. / No, I haven't.” I will give you an example. Suppose I'm talking to S17. （Have a short conversation with a student as an example） T: S17, have you read “Treasure Island” yet? S17: No, I haven't. What about you, teacher? T: Yes, I have. It's a really exciting story full of adventure. Now, start your conversations. （Students start talking in pairs. The teacher walks around, listening and offering help if needed） T: OK, stop. Let's share some of your conversations. Who would like to come to the front and act out your conversation for the class? （Call on some pairs to come to the front and perform their conversations） Pair 1: S18: Have you read “Alice in Wonderland” yet? S19: Yes, I have. It's so interesting. I like the strange creatures in it. S18: I agree. What about “Little Women”? Have you read it? S19: No, I haven't. I heard it's a touching story about family. T: Great job, you two. Your pronunciation and intonation are very good, and you used the sentence pattern correctly. Let's give them a round of applause. （Students clap） Who else wants to share? Pair 2: S20: Have you read “Oliver Twist” yet? S21: No, I haven't. But I want to read it. I like stories about brave kids. Have you read it? S20: Yes, I have. It's really good. You should read it soon. S21: OK, I will. What about “Tom Sawyer”? S20: I've read it. It's full of fun. T: Excellent! You added some personal opinions about the books, which is very good. Step 6: Summary T: Today, we learned some new words about adventure stories, and we also talked about some classic books. We listened to a conversation about these books and practiced using the sentence pattern “Have you read... yet?” to discuss the books we have read. These classic books are like treasures. They can take us to different worlds and let us experience all kinds of adventures. I hope you will read more classic books in your free time to improve your English and enrich your knowledge. Step 7: Homework T: For homework, I want you to choose one of the books we talked about today. If you have read it, write a short summary of the story. If you haven't read it, go to the library or search online to find more information about the book and write a short introduction about it. Also, don't forget to review the new words we learned today. That's all for today's class. See you next time! Ss: See you, 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 $$
