Now, I want you to think about other festivals around the world. Can you name some festivals that you know? Raise your hands and share with the class. S1: Christmas! T: Great! Christmas is very popular. What else? S2: Spring Festival. T: Absolutely! The Spring Festival is extremely important in our country. S3, do you have one to add? S3: Thanksgiving. T: Wonderful! Thanksgiving is a special festival in some Western countries. Now, take a look at the pictures on the screen. (Show some pictures related to festivals like people singing Christmas carols, children receiving red envelopes during Spring Festival, and people having a big turkey dinner on Thanksgiving) What festivals are these pictures about? S4: The first one is Christmas, the second is Spring Festival, and the third is Thanksgiving. T: Correct! All these festivals have their own unique traditions and meanings. Today, we are going to read an article that might be related to some of these festivals. But before we start reading, let's do some preparation work. Pre - reading (2a) T: Open your textbooks to page XX, and look at 2a. Here are some words and phrases. Let's read them together first. Follow me. (Read the words and phrases in 2a, such as “Christmas”, “Santa Claus”, “gifts”, “spreading love and joy”, “the true meaning of Christmas” slowly and clearly, and students repeat) T: Now, I want you to think about these words and phrases. Discuss with your partner and try to predict what the article might be about. You can use these words to help you make your prediction. For example, if you see “Christmas” and “Santa Claus”, you might think the article is about the celebration of Christmas. Start discussing. (Students start to discuss, and the teacher walks around the classroom, listening to their conversations and offering help if needed) T: Time's up. Who wants to share your prediction with the class? S5, please. S5: I think the article might be about Christmas because there are words like “Christmas” and “Santa Claus”. Maybe it will talk about how people celebrate Christmas, like giving gifts. T: That's a very good prediction. S6, do you have a different idea? S6: I think it might also talk about the true meaning of Christmas, like what “spreading love and joy” has to do with this festival. T: Excellent! Your predictions are really creative. Now, let's move on to the next part to see if your predictions are correct. While - reading Fast - reading (2b) T: Now, it's time to read the passage quickly. When you read, don't worry too much about every single word. Just try to get the main idea of the passage. I will give you 3 minutes. Start reading now. (Students start to read the passage quickly) T: Time's up. Let's answer some general questions to check your understanding of the main idea. First question, what is the main topic of this passage? S7? S7: The passage is mainly about the true meaning of Christmas. T: Right. And who is the main character in the story? S8? S8: The main character is Scrooge. T: Correct. Now, let's have a closer look at the passage. Careful - reading (2c) T: Read the passage again carefully. This time, pay attention to the details. After reading, we will do 2c. You need to fill in the chart with information from the passage. (Students start to read the passage carefully) T: Let's check the answers for 2c together. For the column of “Before Christmas Eve”, how was Scrooge? S9? S9: Scrooge was mean. He only thought about himself and never shared his money or showed kindness to others. T: Great. How about “On Christmas Eve”? What happened to Scrooge? S10? S10: He was visited by three spirits. The Ghost of Christmas Past showed him his past, the Ghost of Christmas Present showed him how others were celebrating Christmas, and the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come showed him his future if he didn't change. T: Exactly. And “After Christmas Eve”, what changes did Scrooge make? S11? S11: Scrooge changed. He became kind. He started to share his money, gave gifts to others, and spread love and joy. T: Well done, everyone. You really understood the details of the story. Post - reading (2d) T: Now, let's think deeper about the story. Discuss the questions in 2d with your partner. Why does Scrooge hate Christmas? What does Christmas mean to Scrooge after he changes? Try to use the information from the passage to support your ideas. (Students start to discuss) T: Time's up. Let's share our thoughts. S12 and S13, please come to the front and share your answers. S12: Scrooge hates Christmas because he is very mean and only cares about money. Christmas is a time for sharing and being kind, which is the opposite of what he is like. S13: After he changes, Christmas means a lot to him. It becomes a time for him to spread love and joy, to be with his family and friends, and to show kindness to others. T: Very good! You both analyzed the story very well. Let's give them a big hand. Now, I want another pair to share. S14 and S15? S14: We think Scrooge hates Christmas maybe because he has had some bad experiences in the past related to Christmas, like losing money or being alone. S15: After the spirits visited him, he realized that Christmas is about more than just money. It's about the relationships with people and the happiness that comes from giving. T: Excellent! Your ideas are really unique. This story teaches us a very important lesson, right? Discussion (2e) T: Now, let's have a big class discussion. What can we learn from Scrooge's story? How can we apply the true meaning of Christmas, like spreading love and joy, in our daily lives? Share your thoughts with the whole class. S16: We can learn that it's never too late to change. Just like Scrooge, we can always become better people. In our daily lives, we can be kind to our classmates, help those in need, and that's spreading love. T: That's a great point. S17? S17: We should not be too focused on material things. We should value the people around us and make them happy. For example, we can give small gifts to our parents to show our love. T: Wonderful! S18, do you have something to add? S18: We can also organize small activities in our community, like a singing event, to bring joy to others, just like Christmas carols bring joy during Christmas. T: Very creative! You all have really understood the deep meaning of this story. Summary T: Today, we read an interesting story about Christmas. We learned new words and phrases related to Christmas. More importantly, we understood the true meaning of Christmas, which is spreading love and joy. Remember these new words and the valuable lesson from the story. T: Let's quickly review the key words we learned today. (Review the key words and phrases with the students) Homework T: For homework, I want you to write a short paragraph about what you think is the most important part of a festival. It can be any festival you like. You can use the ideas we discussed in class. Also, draw a small picture related to the festival you choose at the top of your paragraph. Bring it to class tomorrow and we will share them with each other. Is that clear? Ss: Yes, teacher. T: Great! That's all for today's class. Have a wonderful day! Ss: Thank you, teacher.
