Worksheets: Timeline activity, vocabulary matching, sentence-completion exercises. IV. Teaching Procedures​ Step 1: Warm-up & Lead-in (5 minutes)​ Show images of various currency forms (shells, metal coins, paper notes, digital screens). Ask: “What do these have in common?” Elicit prior knowledge: “What forms of money do you know?”Let students brainstorm in pairs. Introduce the lesson title: Money in History.

Drill pronunciation and check understanding with quick matching exercises. Step 3: While-listening Activity (8 minutes)​ Play the audio conversation (Wang Mei visiting Li Lin’s house; Grandpa Li showing his collection). Students listen and answer: What did Grandpa Li take out from his bedroom?(A box of old coins.) What did Qinshihuang introduce?(Round coins with a square hole.) When was paper money first used in China?(During the Song Dynasty.) Discuss answers as a class. Step 4: Reading & Comprehension (12 minutes)​ Students read the textbook passage (Lesson 1, Part 2).

People used it as money.” → “This is a shell that​ people used as money.”). Step 6: Speaking & Production (10 minutes)​ Role-play: In pairs, one student is a museum guide, the other a tourist. The guide explains the history of money using target vocabulary and attributive clauses. Prompt: “This is a spade-shaped coin that​ was used in ancient China...” Volunteers present to the class.

Homework Assignment​ Vocabulary & Writing: Write 5 sentences using the new vocabulary (bedroom, collection, stamp, shell, currency, spade, dynasty, trading, digital). Each sentence should include an attributive clause (that/which). Research Task: Find one interesting fact about money history (e.g., the first credit card, the use of cowrie shells in Africa).
