Teaching Objectives
1. Language Competence
Grammar: Use will correctly for future predictions (affirmative, negative, questions).
Listening: Extract details (1b: cinema, time; 1c: opinions on climate, food, space).
Speaking: Debate future predictions with I think... will... because... / I don’t think... will... because....
2. Cultural Awareness
Recognize global concerns (climate change, food shortage) and the value of hopeful vs. critical thinking.
3. Thinking Quality
Analytical Thinking: Distinguish between characters’ opinions (Peter’s pessimism vs. Teng Fei’s optimism).
Critical Thinking: Justify predictions with logical reasons.
4. Learning Ability
Apply listening strategies (pre-listening prediction) and debate skills (respectful disagreement).
Teaching Key Points
Master will for future predictions.
Extract and compare characters’ opinions from listening.
Teaching Difficulties
Differentiating will (prediction) from other future forms.
Articulating complex reasons for predictions (e.g., “climate change will worsen because...”).
Teaching Procedures
Step 1: Warm-up & Prediction Discussion (1a, 8 mins)
Visual & Concept Activation:
Show 1a’s predictions (e.g., “live on Earth,” “outer space”). Ask: “Which do you agree with? Why?”
Elicit vocabulary: climate change, outer space, boring work.
Opinion Sharing:
Students discuss in pairs, using: “I think... will... because... / I don’t think... will... because...”.
Step 2: Listening — Sci-fi Film Plans (1b, 12 mins)
Pre-listening Prediction:
Ask: “What might Teng Fei and Peter talk about? A film! What do we need to know about a film plan?” (Time, place, how tickets were bought).
While-listening: Detail Capture
Play the recording; students fill in 1b’s summary:
cinema, online, 7:00 p.m., 6:45 p.m.
Post-listening: Time & Place Practice
Practice saying times (e.g., 6:45 → a quarter to seven) and locations (meet at the cinema).
Step 3: Listening — Future Opinions (1c, 15 mins)
Pre-listening: Link to 1a
Remind students of 1a’s predictions. Ask: “What do Peter and Teng Fei think about these?”
While-listening: Opinion Tracking
Play the recording; students mark T/F for 1c, focusing on:
Peter’s views: climate worse (T), less land (T), pessimistic (F).
Teng Fei’s views: solve food problem (T), live in space (F), optimistic (T).
Post-listening: Perspective Analysis
Discuss: “Why is Peter worried? Why is Teng Fei hopeful? Which do you agree with more?”
Step 4: Speaking — Debate Future Predictions (1d, 12 mins)
Sentence Frame Scaffolding:
Provide frames:
“Will...?
→ Yes, I think... will... because...
→ No, I don’t think... will... because...”
Pair Debate:
Students debate 1a’s predictions using the frames. Example:
A: Will we live on Earth in 100 years?
B: Yes, because people will protect the planet.
Class Sharing:
2–3 pairs share debates, focusing on clear will use and logical reasons.
Step 5: Summary & Homework (5 mins)
Grammar Recap:
Write will structure:
Affirmative: Subject + will + verb 原形
Negative: Subject + won’t + verb 原形
Question: Will + subject + verb 原形?
Homework:
Writing: Write 3 predictions about your future (e.g., “I will become a... because...”).
