S: Good morning teacher! It’s going well! T: That’s fantastic to hear! Before we start today’s Unit 3 “Language in use,” let’s take a few minutes to review what we’ve learned in the previous two units about cartoons. First, who can quickly recall one of the new vocabulary words we studied? For example, what does “humorous” mean? S1: “Humorous” means something is funny. Like the cartoon “Looney Tunes” is very humorous. T: Excellent! You remembered it clearly. Now, what about the word “adventure”? Can you use it in a sentence? S2: Tintin always goes on exciting adventures around the world. T: Perfect! Well done. And let’s not forget grammar. In the story of Tintin, we saw sentences using the present perfect tense. Can someone give an example of a present perfect sentence related to Tintin? S3: Tintin has been popular for over eighty years. T: Exactly! You’ve all got a great memory. Now, I’m sure you’re ready to dig deeper into language use in the context of cartoons. Introduction to Unit 3 T: Today, in Unit 3, we’re going to focus on using the language we’ve learned more effectively. We’ll review and practice grammar, vocabulary, and even improve our writing and speaking skills through various activities. Think of it as a chance to become masters at talking about cartoons in English! To start off, let’s look at some sentences on the screen. (Show several sentences with grammar and vocabulary from the previous units about cartoons) What can you notice about these sentences? For example, look at the verb tenses and the words used. Discuss with your partner for a minute. (Students discuss with their partners) T: Time’s up. Who wants to share what you noticed? S4: Some sentences use the present perfect tense, like “The cartoon series has been translated into many languages.” And there are also new vocabulary words we learned, like “popular” and “reporter”. T: Great observation! That’s exactly what we’re going to work on today - using these elements correctly and confidently. Grammar Review and Practice T: First, let’s focus on the present perfect tense, which we’ve seen a lot when talking about the popularity and history of cartoons. (Write the structure “have/has + past participle” on the board) Can someone remind me what the present perfect tense is used for? S5: It’s used to talk about an action that started in the past and continues to the present, or an action that has happened at an unspecified time in the past. T: Right on! Now, I’ll give you some situations, and I want you to create present perfect sentences. For example, the situation is “Tintin’s stories and their influence.” S6: Tintin’s stories have influenced millions of readers around the world. T: Excellent! Here’s another situation: “your experience with watching cartoon series.” S7: I have watched many cartoon series since I was a child. T: Great job! Now, let’s do a grammar game. I’ll divide you into two teams. I’ll show a picture related to a cartoon, and the first team to create a correct present perfect sentence about the picture gets a point. (Show pictures one by one, such as a picture of Doraemon) Team 1: Doraemon has helped Nobita solve many problems. T: Correct! Team 1 gets a point. (Continue the game with more pictures) T: Next, let’s review the use of adjectives to describe cartoon characters. (Show a list of adjectives learned, like “brave,” “smart,” “humorous,” etc.) I’ll describe a character, and you guess who it is using these adjectives. This character is very brave, often fights bad guys, and is very popular all over the world. Who is it? S8: Superman! T: Right! Now, you try. Work with your partner. One person describes a cartoon character using adjectives, and the other guesses. (Students practice in pairs) Vocabulary Expansion and Practice T: Now, let’s expand our vocabulary related to cartoons. We already know words like “adventure” and “popular,” but there are more words we can learn. (Show new vocabulary words: “mysterious,” “thrilling,” “charming,” “legendary,” “admirable”) Let’s read these words together. T & S: mysterious, thrilling, charming, legendary, admirable T: Let’s learn the meanings. “Mysterious” means something that is difficult to understand or explain, like a mysterious island in a cartoon. “Thrilling” means very exciting, like a thrilling chase scene. “Charming” means very pleasant and attractive, like a charming princess in a cartoon. “Legendary” refers to something or someone famous in legends, like a legendary hero. “Admirable” means deserving respect and approval, like an admirable cartoon character who always does the right thing. Now, I’ll give you a word, and you use it to describe a cartoon character or scene. For example, if I say “mysterious,” you could say “The old castle in the cartoon was a mysterious place.” I’ll start: “thrilling.” S9: The battle between the superheroes was a thrilling moment. T: Good! Let’s continue with “charming.” S10: Cinderella is a charming cartoon character with a kind heart. T: Excellent! Now, work in groups of four. Create a short story about a cartoon using at least three of these new vocabulary words. (Students work in groups) T: Time’s up. Which group wants to share your story? Group 1 Spokesperson: In our cartoon story, there was a mysterious forest. A charming little fairy lived there. One day, she had a thrilling adventure when she met a legendary dragon. T: That’s a very creative story! Well done. Speaking and Writing Practice T: Now, let’s move on to speaking practice. I’ll give you a topic: “Your favorite cartoon and why it’s special.” You have two minutes to prepare a short speech. Think about using the grammar and vocabulary we’ve reviewed today. (Students prepare their speeches) T: Okay, who wants to be the first to share your speech? S11: My favorite cartoon is “Scooby - Doo”. It has been popular for many years. The stories are always mysterious and thrilling. The characters, especially Scooby - Doo and his friends, are very charming. I like it because it not only makes me laugh but also helps me think as they solve mysteries. T: Wonderful speech! You used the language very well. Let’s have a few more students share. (Several more students give their speeches) T: After speaking, it’s time for writing. I want you to write a paragraph comparing two cartoon characters you like. You can compare their appearance, personalities, and the adventures they have. Remember to use correct grammar and a variety of vocabulary. You have ten minutes to write. (Students write their paragraphs) T: Time’s up. Let’s share some of your writings. Who wants to read their paragraph aloud? S12: I compared Tintin and Spiderman. Tintin has been a popular reporter for a long time, and he goes on exciting adventures around the world. He is smart and brave. Spiderman, on the other hand, is a more modern hero. He has been protecting the city with his special powers. He is also very admirable because he always helps people in need. Although they are different, they are both my favorite heroes. T: Great job! You made a clear comparison and used the language effectively. Summary and Homework T: Today, we’ve had a busy but fruitful class. We reviewed grammar, expanded our vocabulary, practiced speaking, and did some writing all related to cartoons. Can someone quickly summarize what we did today? S13: We reviewed the present perfect tense and practiced using it. We learned new vocabulary words and used them in stories. We also gave speeches about our favorite cartoons and wrote paragraphs comparing cartoon characters. T: Exactly! For your homework, I want you to create a poster about a cartoon. Include a picture of the cartoon, some interesting facts about it using the present perfect tense, and a short description of the main characters with adjectives we learned. You can be as creative as you like. Are you clear? S: Yes! T: Okay, class is over. I can’t wait to see your amazing posters next time. Have a great day! S: 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 $$
