How’s your day going so far? Before we dive into today’s exciting content, let’s do a quick review of what we learned in the last lesson. Who can tell me the main idea of the passage “Rock music meets the erhu”? (Raise hand and wait for students to respond) Student 1: It’s about a boy who likes rock music and his grandpa who plays the erhu for Beijing Opera, and they combined their music and had a great time. Teacher: Excellent! You remembered it perfectly. And can anyone tell me what “instrument” means? Student 2: It’s a thing that people use to make music, like the erhu and the guitar. Teacher: Exactly! Now, let’s recall some phrases we learned. What does “play the guitar” mean? (Point to a student) Student 3: It means using the guitar to make music. Teacher: Great job, everyone! Now that we’ve refreshed our memories, we’re ready to move on to today’s lesson - Developing ideas in Unit 2 More than fun. Step 2: Lead - in Teacher: Class, we all know hobbies can bring us joy. But did you know that hobbies can also help us solve problems and develop new ideas? Let me tell you a little story. I once had a friend who loved drawing. One day, she needed to organize her study desk, which was always messy. She used her drawing skills to design a special storage box with different compartments. Not only did it look beautiful, but it also made her desk much tidier. So, you see, hobbies can inspire us in many unexpected ways. Now, I want you to think about your own hobbies. Has your hobby ever helped you come up with a new idea or solve a problem? Turn to your neighbor and share your thoughts for two minutes. (Students discuss) Step 3: Sharing Time Teacher: Time’s up! Who’d like to share their story with the whole class? (Wait for students to raise hands) Let’s start with you, [Student’s name]. Student 4: I like playing football. Once, our team was losing a game. During the break, I remembered some strategies I saw in a football video I watched before. I shared those ideas with my teammates, and we changed our playing style. In the end, we won the game! Teacher: That’s an amazing story! You used your interest in football videos to help your team win. What a great example of how hobbies can lead to good ideas. Who else wants to share? Student 5: I love reading mystery novels. One day, I couldn’t find my keys. I thought about how the detectives in the books look for clues. So, I retraced my steps and found my keys under the sofa. Teacher: Wonderful! Your hobby of reading mystery novels taught you how to be a detective in real life. Thank you for sharing. Step 4: Pre - reading Teacher: Now, look at the title of our reading material for today, “Hobbies: More than Just Fun”. What do you think this passage will be about? Talk with your partner for one minute and then we’ll share some ideas. (Students discuss) Student 6: Maybe it will talk about how hobbies are useful besides being fun. Student 7: I think it will tell us different ways hobbies can help us grow. Teacher: Those are great predictions. Now, let’s look at the pictures on page [XX]. What can you see in these pictures? Student 8: I can see a person knitting, another person building a model plane, and a third person writing a story. Teacher: Good observation! What do these pictures have in common? Student 9: They all show people doing their hobbies. Teacher: Exactly. Based on the title and the pictures, what more do you think we might learn from this passage? Student 10: Maybe we’ll learn how knitting, making model planes, and writing stories can help people develop ideas. Teacher: Excellent thinking! Now, let’s read the passage to see if our predictions are right. Step 5: While - reading Teacher: First, let’s do a skimming. Read the passage quickly and try to find the main idea. You have three minutes. (Students read) Teacher: Time’s up. Can someone summarize the main idea? Student 11: The passage talks about how hobbies like knitting, building model planes, and writing can help people develop different skills and ideas, not just be for fun. Teacher: Perfect! Now, let’s do a more detailed reading. Read the passage again and answer the following questions on the screen. (Show questions) How does knitting help people according to the passage? What skills can people develop when building model planes? In what way is writing a story beneficial? Give an example from the passage of how a hobby led to a new idea. Why does the author say hobbies are “more than just fun”? Teacher: Start reading and answering. You can highlight the relevant parts of the passage. (Students read and answer) Teacher: Let’s check the answers. For the first question, how does knitting help people? Student 12: Knitting helps people improve their concentration and patience. Also, they can make useful things like scarves and sweaters for themselves or others. Teacher: Correct! And for the second question, what skills can people develop when building model planes? Student 13: They can develop their hands - on skills, problem - solving skills, and learn about science and engineering. Teacher: Well done. Now, for the third question, in what way is writing a story beneficial? Student 14: Writing a story helps people express their creativity, improve their language skills, and understand different emotions. Teacher: Right. And for the fourth question, can you give an example from the passage of how a hobby led to a new idea? Student 15: The person who built model planes thought about how to make the plane fly better, and this led to the idea of studying aerodynamics. Teacher: Exactly. And the last question, why does the author say hobbies are “more than just fun”? Student 16: Because hobbies can help people develop many important skills, solve problems, and come up with new ideas, not just make them feel happy. Teacher: Fantastic job, everyone! You really understood the passage well. Step 6: Vocabulary Learning Teacher: Now, let’s focus on some new words and phrases from the passage. (Write on the blackboard: concentration, patience, hands - on, problem - solving, creativity, aerodynamics) Repeat after me. (Read each word slowly, and students repeat) Teacher: Let’s start with “concentration”. Who can try to explain what it means? (Point to a student) Student 17: It means focusing on one thing and not being distracted. Teacher: Very good! And “patience”? Student 18: It’s the ability to wait calmly and not get angry or frustrated easily. Teacher: Exactly. “Hands - on” means involving practical actions and doing things with your own hands. For example, building model planes is a hands - on hobby. What about “problem - solving”? Student 19: It’s the process of finding solutions to problems. Teacher: Great. “Creativity” is the ability to think of new and original ideas. And “aerodynamics” is the science that studies how air moves around things, especially important for things like planes. Now, I’ll give you some sentences, and you fill in the blanks with the right words. (Provide sentence - filling exercises) Step 7: Group Discussion and Presentation Teacher: Now, I want you to work in groups of four. Discuss the following question: If you could combine two of your hobbies, what new idea or creation could you come up with? You have ten minutes to discuss and come up with a plan. Each group should choose a spokesperson to present your idea to the class. (Students discuss) Teacher: Time’s up! Which group wants to go first? (Invite groups to present) Group 1 spokesperson: We have a member who likes painting and another who likes cooking. We thought we could make food that looks like famous paintings. For example, make a cake that looks like the Mona Lisa. Teacher: That’s such a creative idea! It combines art and food in a very interesting way. How about the next group? Group 2 spokesperson: One of us likes playing the piano and another likes writing stories. We plan to write a story and then compose a piano piece that matches the mood of the story. Teacher: Wonderful! It’s a great combination of music and literature. Well done, everyone. Your ideas are really impressive. Step 8: Summary Teacher: Today, we explored how hobbies are much more than just fun. We learned from the passage that hobbies can help us develop important skills like concentration, patience, problem - solving, and creativity. We also shared our own experiences and came up with amazing ideas by combining different hobbies. Can someone briefly summarize what we learned today? (Call on a student) Student 20: We learned that hobbies are useful for developing skills, and we can get new ideas by combining them. Teacher: That’s right! Remember, your hobbies are not only a source of enjoyment but also a way to grow and learn. Step 9: Homework Teacher: For homework, I want you to write an essay about how your hobby has helped you develop an important skill or come up with a new idea. You should write at least 120 words. Use the new words and expressions we learned today. Bring your essay to class tomorrow, and we’ll have a chance to read some of them aloud. That’s all for today’s class.
