How was your day so far? Before we start today's new content, let's quickly go over what we learned in the last class. Who can tell me something about country music? What is its origin and what is it usually about? Raise your hands, please. Student 1: Country music comes from the southern states of America. It's about belonging to a group and the good old days when people were kind and trusted each other. Teacher: Excellent! You remembered it very well. Now, can anyone recall the story of Sarah we read about? What was her dream? Student 2: Sarah used to fight with her family. She became a fan of country music. Her dream was to visit Nashville, and Garth Brooks is a famous country singer she admires. Teacher: Great job! Now, let's do a little vocabulary review. I'll say a word related to our previous topic, and you give its definition or use it in a sentence. First word: “used to”. Student 3: “Used to” is used to talk about something that happened regularly in the past but doesn't happen now. For example, I used to play basketball every weekend, but now I'm too busy with my studies. Teacher: Perfect! Next word: “belong to”. Student 4: “Belong to” means something is the property of someone or someone is a member of a group. This schoolbag belongs to my little brother. Teacher: Well done! Now that we've refreshed our memory, let's move on to today's new learning journey in Unit 8, Section B, 3a - Self Check. Step 2: 3a - Reading and Writing Teacher: Look at the task in 3a on your textbook. Here, we are going to write a review of a book, a movie, or a CD you really like. First, let's think about some key elements we should include in a review. What do you think are important? Student 5: We should talk about what it is, like whether it's a book, movie, or CD. Teacher: Right. And what else? Student 6: We need to say why we like it, maybe the story, the music, or the acting. Teacher: Exactly. Also, we can mention some details about it, such as the main characters in a book or movie, or the best songs in a CD. Now, take a few minutes to think about the book, movie, or CD you want to review. Make some simple notes if you like. (Students think and make notes) Teacher: Now, let's start writing. But before you fully write the review, let's look at the example given in the textbook together. Read it silently and see how the writer structures the review. (Students read the example) Teacher: What did the writer do first in the example? Student 7: First, the writer introduced what it is. It's a book named To Kill a Mockingbird. Teacher: Correct. And then? Student 8: Then, the writer talked about the main characters and the story briefly. Teacher: Good. And finally? Student 9: Finally, the writer explained why he/she liked the book. Teacher: Perfect. Now, you can start writing your own review following this structure. You can start like this: “I really love [name of the book/movie/CD]. It is [a book/a movie/a CD] about [a brief introduction].” (Students start writing) Teacher: While you are writing, I'll walk around and offer help if you need it. Remember to use correct grammar and spelling. Also, try to use some vivid adjectives to describe it. (Teacher walks around and helps students) Teacher: OK, time's up. Let's share some of your reviews. Who wants to be the first one to read yours aloud? Student 10: I really love the movie The Shawshank Redemption. It is a movie about a banker named Andy Dufresne. He was wrongly convicted of murder and sent to Shawshank State Penitentiary. In the prison, he befriends a fellow inmate named Ellis Boyd “Red” Redding. Andy spends nearly two decades in prison, during which he uses his intelligence and resourcefulness to survive and even improve the conditions in the prison. I like this movie because it shows the power of hope and friendship. Andy never gives up hope, and his friendship with Red is really touching. The story is so inspiring and makes me believe that no matter how difficult the situation is, there is always hope. Teacher: That's an amazing review! You included all the important elements and your description is very vivid. I can tell you really understand and love this movie. Any other volunteers? Student 11: I want to review the book Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. It is a book about a young boy named Harry Potter. He discovers that he is a wizard and is invited to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. At Hogwarts, Harry makes friends with Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. They go on many adventures together, and in this book, they try to protect the Sorcerer's Stone from the evil Voldemort. I like this book because the magical world created by J.K. Rowling is so fascinating. The characters are vivid, and the story is full of mystery and excitement. It makes me feel like I'm also in the magical world with Harry and his friends. Teacher: Wonderful! Your review makes me want to read the book again. The way you described the magical world is very attractive. Well done! Now, after sharing, you can go back to your seats and make some final adjustments to your reviews if you think there are any parts that need improvement. Step 3: Self Check Teacher: Now, let's move on to the Self Check part. In Self Check 1, we have some vocabulary exercises. First, look at the words in the box: “treasure, island, page, hurry, due”. We need to use these words to complete the sentences. Let's do the first one together. “The ship hit a rock and sank near the ______.” What word should we use here? Students: Island. Teacher: Right. Because it makes sense that a ship can sink near an island. Now, for the second sentence, “I'm looking for my ______. There is some money and my ID card in it.” What's the answer? Student 12: Treasure. Teacher: Are you sure? Think carefully. A treasure usually refers to valuable things like gold and jewels. Here, we are talking about something that has money and an ID card in it. Student 13: Oh, it should be “wallet”. But it's not in the box. Teacher: You are right. Sometimes, we need to think about the context carefully. In this case, since the words in the box don't fit perfectly, we can see that there might be a mistake in the exercise. Let's skip this one for now and move on to the third sentence. “I have to return this book to the library. It's ______ today.” What word should we use? Student 14: Due. Teacher: Correct. “Due” here means that the book needs to be returned on this day according to the library's rules. Now, for the fourth sentence, “He ______ to school because he was late.” What word can we use? Student 15: Hurry. Teacher: But the sentence is in the past tense. So, we need to change the form of the word. Student 15: Oh, it should be “hurried”. Teacher: Right. Now, for the last sentence, “I like to read the ______ of this magazine. There are many interesting articles.” What word should we use? Student 16: Page. Teacher: But usually, we read many pages of a magazine. So, we need to use the plural form. Student 16: Pages. Teacher: Great. Now, let's move on to Self Check 2. Here, we need to use the correct forms of the verbs in the brackets to complete the sentences. Let's do the first one together. “I ______ (buy) a new book last week.” What form of the verb “buy” should we use? Student 17: Bought. Teacher: Right. Because “last week” indicates the past, so we use the past simple form of the verb. Now, for the second sentence, “She ______ (not finish) her homework yet.” What form should we use? Student 18: Hasn't finished. Teacher: Correct. “Yet” is often used in the present perfect negative form. Now, for the third sentence, “They ______ (go) to the park yesterday.” What form should we use? Student 19: Went. Teacher: Good. “Yesterday” is a past time marker, so we use the past simple form of “go”. Now, for the fourth sentence, “I ______ (read) this book three times.” What form should we use? Student 20: Have read. Teacher: Right. “Three times” shows an action that has happened several times up to now, so we use the present perfect form. Now, for the last sentence, “He ______ (be) to Beijing twice.” What form should we use? Student 21: Has been. Teacher: Well done. Now, let's check your answers with your partners. Make sure you understand why each form is used. (Students check answers with partners) Teacher: In Self Check 3, we need to write five sentences using the present perfect tense. First, think about some experiences you have had, like places you have visited, books you have read, or movies you have watched. Then, write the sentences. (Students write sentences) Teacher: Let's share some of your sentences. Who wants to start? Student 22: I have visited the Great Wall. It was an amazing experience. Teacher: Great sentence. The present perfect tense is used correctly to talk about an experience you have had. Any other sentences? Student 23: I have read Pride and Prejudice. It's a very interesting novel. Teacher: Good. Another correct use of the present perfect tense. Now, let's look at the sentences you wrote. Check if you have used the present perfect tense correctly, including the form of the verb “have/has + past participle”. Also, make sure your sentences are meaningful. Step 4: Summary and Extension Teacher: Today, we have done a lot of work. In 3a, we learned how to write a review of a book, movie, or CD, which includes introducing what it is, giving some details, and explaining why we like it. In the Self Check part, we reviewed important vocabulary and practiced using the correct verb tenses, especially the present perfect tense. Teacher: Now, let's think about this: If you were to recommend a new type of art form, like a new kind of performance or a new style of painting, how would you write a review for it? Discuss with your group. (Students discuss in groups) Teacher: OK, let's share some of your ideas. Student 24: First, we should introduce what this new art form is, like what materials are used or what makes it different from others. Teacher: Right. And then? Student 25: Then, we can talk about some examples of this art form, like a specific performance or a famous painting in this style. Teacher: Good. And how about why we like it? Student 26: We can say how it makes us feel, like excited or inspired. Teacher: Excellent ideas. Writing a review for a new art form follows a similar structure to what we learned today. Step 5: Homework Teacher: For homework, I want you to do two things. First, rewrite your review in 3a. Make it more perfect by adding more details and using more vivid language. You can also ask your parents or friends for their opinions on what you wrote and make some improvements. Second, find a new book, movie, or CD in English. Write a short summary of it, including what it is about, the main characters (if applicable), and your first impression. You can share your work with the class next time. Teacher: That's all for today's class. Have a great day! 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 $$
