Differentiating between similar financial terms (e.g., savingsvs. investment) and using them appropriately.
IV. Teaching Procedures
Step 1: Warm-up & Lead-in (5 mins)
Activity: Picture Talk & Brainstorming
Process:
Show pictures depicting various money-related activities: a person putting money in a piggy bank (savings), buying medicine (medical, prescription), a femalescientist receiving a reward (patent), a family on a trip, a soldier in a military uniform.
Ask: "Look at these pictures. What are they about?" (Money/Spending)
Lead question: "We all use money. What do YOU do with your pocket money or gift money?" Let students brainstorm freely (buy snacks, save, buy books, give gifts).
Introduce the lesson title: "Today, we'll explore more about this in Lesson 2: What Do You Do with Money?"
Step 2: Vocabulary Presentation & Practice (10 mins)
Activity: Categorized Vocabulary Learning
Process:
Present new words on the board/PPT, grouped by theme:
Money Management: savings, budget (v/n), expense, income, invest.
Spending Areas: medical, prescription, donation.
People/Items: female, husband, military uniform.
Specific Concepts: patent, transfer (v/n - connect to patent transfer).
Use simple explanations, pictures, and example sentences:
"Her savingsfor a new bike are growing." / "A wise budgethelps control expenses."
"After paying for the medicalcheck-up, she got a prescription."
"The inventor completed the patent transferfor his invention."
"His husband, who wears a military uniform, is very disciplined with money."
Practice: Quick matching game or fill-in-the-blank sentences using the new words.
Step 3: Reading & Comprehension (12 mins)
Activity: Integrated Reading Task
Process:
Pre-reading: Ask predictive questions. "What do you think a wise person does with money? What about a generous person?"
While-reading (Skimming & Scanning):
Hand out or display the adapted/created text (incorporating target vocabulary).
Task 1 (Skim): Read quickly. What is the main idea? (Different people have different money habits.)
Task 2 (Scan): Read carefully. Find what specific people do. e.g., "What does Lin Tao do with part of his income?" (He puts it into savings.) "What did Dr. Chen do after her patentwas sold?" (She made a transferof funds to a medicalcharity.) "Why does Mrs. Wang, a femaleofficer, keep a strict budget?" (Her husbandis in a military uniform, and they plan for the future.)
Post-reading: Discuss comprehension questions. Encourage use of new words in answers.
Step 4: Speaking & Language in Use (10 mins)
Activity: Survey and Role-play
Process:
Pair Work (Survey): Students use a table to interview each other. "What do you usually do with your money?" Options: Save for a big thing (savings), buy books/games, help family with expenses, give donations, plan a budget. They take notes using frequency adverbs (always, often, sometimes).
Group Work (Role-play): Create short dialogues based on scenarios.
Scenario A: A femalestudent talks to her friend about using her award money (like from a science fair patentidea) – save, invest in learning, or donate?
Scenario B: A family discusses monthly budget– medicalcosts for grandma's prescriptions, savingsfor a car, buying a new military uniformfor a brother's ceremony.
Volunteers present their role-plays. Teacher provides feedback on language use.
Step 5: Summary & Emotional Elevation (5 mins)
Activity: Concluding Discussion & Quote
Process:
Teacher summarizes: "We learned words about money and ways to use it: for needs, for the future (savings, invest), for others (donation), and for responsibilities."
Discuss: "What is the valueof money? Is it just for spending?" Guide to answers like: Money is a tool. Its value comes from how we use it—to secure life (medicalcare), to build a future (savings), to help others, to achieve dreams (funding ideas like a patent).
Present a concluding thought: "Money is a good servant but a bad master. Let's learn to be its wise master."
Step 6: Assignment (3 mins)
Must-do:
Write a short paragraph (60-80 words) titled "My Money Plan". Use at least 5 of today's new words (e.g., savings, budget, expense, donation, medical). Describe what you will do with your money and why.
Review and memorize the new vocabulary. Prepare for a short dictation or quiz next class.
Optional/Extended:
Interview a family member (e.g., parent, husbandor wife of an aunt) about one of their money habits. Ask: "What is a wise way you have used money?" Prepare 2-3 sentences to share next time.
Draw a simple monthly budget chart for a hypothetical teenager, including categories like snacks, books, savings, and donations.
