Teaching Methods Grammar Explanation & Practice Sentence Completion & Error Correction Story - Telling & Sharing Teaching Aids Textbook, blackboard, multimedia Teaching Procedure I. Warm - up & Grammar Review (7 mins) Daily Dialogue Invite two students to perform a short dialogue using Grammar Focus structures: A: How does your favorite story begin? B: Once upon a time, there was a hero... As soon as he met the villain, he fought bravely. Praise and highlight conjunctions: “As soon as” (time connection). Grammar Reminder Write on the board: unless: if not (condition). E.g., “You can’t go out unless you finish homework.” as soon as: when (time, immediate action). E.g., “As soon as he arrives, we’ll start.” so... that: such... that (result). E.g., “He’s so strong that he can move mountains.” II. 4a Activity – Conjunction Practice (10 mins) Instruction Present 4a tasks: fill in blanks with “unless”, “as soon as”, or “so... that”. Remind students to check sentence logic (condition, time, result). Student Activity Students complete 4a individually. Then, discuss in pairs: “Why choose ‘unless’ here? How does ‘so... that’ work in sentence 6?”. Check answers together: As soon as (time: stepsisters made her do chores right after father died) so; that (result: too busy to make a dress) unless (condition: mice must help, or she can’t go) As soon as (time: prince fell in love immediately after seeing her) unless (condition: only if foot fits, it’s the right girl) so; that (result: very happy, can’t stop smiling) Explain tricky sentences, e.g., “Unless” = “if not”, so sentence 3: “If they didn’t help, she couldn’t go.” III. 4b Activity – Verb Form Practice (12 mins) Instruction Show 4b passage about the Monkey King. Tell students: “Fill in the blanks with correct verb forms (simple present, can + verb, etc.). Pay attention to subject - verb agreement and tense consistency.” Student Activity Students work individually, then pair - check. Walk around to guide, e.g., “He helps weak people (simple present, habitual action).” Check answers: helps (simple present, he helps) has (simple present, he has) uses (simple present, he uses) make (can + verb) sees (as soon as + simple present) turn (can + verb) love (children love, simple present) IV. 4c Activity – Favorite Story Sharing (13 mins) Instruction Explain 4c: “Tell your partner about your favorite story. Use structures from Grammar Focus: ‘My favorite story is... It is interesting because...’ and conjunctions from 4a/4b if possible.” Example: “My favorite story is Cinderella. It is interesting because she was so kind that she won the prince’s love. As soon as the prince saw her, he fell in love. Unless she lost her shoe, the prince couldn’t find her.” Student Activity Students pair up. Walk around to encourage using target language, like “so... that”, “as soon as”. Invite 3 - 4 pairs to share. Praise creative use of conjunctions, e.g., “Journey to the West is great! The Monkey King is so powerful that he can fight bad people. Unless he hides his tail, he can’t become human.” V. Summary & Homework (5 mins) Summary Recap key points: Conjunctions: “unless” (condition), “as soon as” (time), “so... that” (result).
