Practice intonation in responses like "I’m fine, thanks." to reflect natural communication. 【教学过程】 Teacher: Good morning, class! Welcome to another exciting English lesson. Before we begin, let's start with a little activity to wake up our brains. I'll show you some pictures on the screen, and I want you to shout out the English words for what you see as quickly as possible. Are you ready? Students: Yes, teacher! Teacher: (Shows the first picture, e.g., a picture of a clock) Okay, here we go! What's this in English? Student 1: Clock! Teacher: Correct! Well done. (Shows the next picture, a picture of a backpack) And this one? Student 2: Backpack! Teacher: Great job! Let's keep it up. (Shows more pictures like a pencil, a book, a ruler, etc., and students respond correctly) Now, today we are going to start Unit 2 of our Go for it! textbook. Unit 2 is all about talking about people's possessions and where things are. It's going to be really interesting because we'll learn how to describe what belongs to us and others, and also find out where things are located. First, let's take a look at the big picture on page 10 of your books. What can you see in this picture? Raise your hands and tell me. Student 3: I can see a girl and a boy in a classroom. Teacher: Very good. What else? Student 4: There are some desks and chairs. Teacher: Right. And do you notice any school things? Student 5: There are books and notebooks on the desks. Teacher: Excellent observation. Now, let's focus on the conversation in the speech bubbles. Who wants to read the first part of the conversation aloud? (Points to a student) Student 6: Excuse me, Grace. Is this your pencil? Teacher: Great reading. Now, who wants to read the response? (Points to another student) Student 7: Yes, thank you. And that's my eraser. Teacher: Wonderful. Now, let's break down this conversation. In the first sentence, "Excuse me, Grace. Is this your pencil?", what are we doing? We are asking if something belongs to someone. This is a very important way to start a conversation when you want to find out the owner of an item. The phrase "Is this...?" is used to ask about the possession of a singular thing that is close to you. For example, I have a pen in my hand. I can ask you, "Is this your pen?" (Holds up a pen) Now, you try. I'll hold up different things, and you use the phrase "Is this...?" to ask me if it's my thing. (Holds up a ruler) Student 8: Is this your ruler? Teacher: No, it's not mine. (Holds up a book) Now you, another student. Student 9: Is this your book? Teacher: Yes, it is. Good job. Now, let's look at the response "Yes, thank you. And that's my eraser." When someone asks if something is yours and it is, you can say "Yes, thank you." And then, if you want to mention another thing that belongs to you, you can use "And that's...". So, if I ask you, "Is this your pencil?" and it is, and you also want to point out your eraser, how can you respond? (Points to a student) Student 10: Yes, thank you. And that's my eraser. Teacher: Perfect. Now, let's practice this conversation in pairs. Use the school things on your desks. One of you ask if something is the other's, and the other respond. Then switch roles. You have two minutes to practice. (Students start practicing) (After two minutes) Teacher: Okay, stop. Let's see some pairs come to the front and show us their conversations. (Calls on a pair of students) Pair of Students: Student A: Excuse me. Is this your notebook? Student B: Yes, thank you. And that's my pencil. Teacher: Very good. You both spoke clearly and used the correct sentences. Let's give them a round of applause. (Claps) Now, let's move on to the grammar part. We've been using the possessive form "your" to ask about ownership. But what if we want to say that something belongs to us? We use "my". For example, instead of asking "Is this your pen?", if I want to say it's my pen, I can say "This is my pen." Let's practice changing the questions into statements. I'll ask a question, and you change it into a statement. "Is this your ruler?" Students: This is my ruler. Teacher: Good. "Is this your book?" Students: This is my book. Teacher: Great. Now, let's look at the plural form. If we have more than one thing, like two pencils or three books, how do we ask if they belong to someone? We use "Are these...?" For example, if I have two erasers in my hand, I can ask "Are these your erasers?" And the response would be either "Yes, they are." or "No, they aren't." Let's practice this. I'll hold up some plural items, and you ask me if they are mine using "Are these...?" (Holds up two pens) Student 11: Are these your pens? Teacher: No, they aren't. (Holds up three pencils) Another student? Student 12: Are these your pencils? Teacher: Yes, they are. Now, you practice in pairs again. This time, use plural school things. One asks using "Are these...?", and the other responds. Then switch. You have two minutes. (Students start practicing) (After two minutes) Teacher: Alright, time's up. Let's see some more pairs. (Calls on another pair) Pair of Students: Student C: Are these your markers? Student D: Yes, they are. Teacher: Well done. You got the grammar right. Now, let's play a little game. I'll hide some school things around the classroom. Then, I'll divide you into groups of four. Each group has to search for the things and when you find something, you have to ask the class using the correct possessive questions. For example, if you find a pencil, you ask "Is this anyone's pencil?" If someone says it's theirs, they have to come and claim it. The group that finds the most things and asks the questions correctly wins. Are you ready? Students: Yes! Teacher: Okay, let's start. (Hides the things and divides the students into groups) (The students start searching and asking questions. After a few minutes) Teacher: Alright, everyone stop. Let's see which group found the most things. (Counts the items each group found and checks their questions) Congratulations to Group [number]! You did a great job. Now, let's summarize what we've learned today. We learned how to ask about possession using "Is this...?" for singular items and "Are these...?" for plural items. We also learned how to respond and how to use "my" to show that something belongs to us. Remember these grammar points and practice using them in your daily conversations. For homework, I want you to write five sentences using the possessive forms we learned today. You can describe things in your room or at school. Bring your sentences to class tomorrow, and we'll share them. 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 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
