情景导入
Situational Lead-in
Step 1: Lead-in
1. Greet students warmly.
2. Ask: "Do you like reading fables? What fables have you read? What have you learned from them?"
3. Let students share in pairs, then invite 2–3 students to share with the class.

Purpose: To activate prior knowledge about fables and their morals.

Step 2: Pre-reading (Vocabulary) (5 mins)
1. Show the key vocabulary from the PPT (woodcutter, axe, fairy, golden, silver, honest, honesty, policy).
2. Drill pronunciation (choral and individual).
3. Use pictures to explain (e.g., show a picture of an axe, a fairy, a golden axe).
Step 3: While-reading (12 mins)
1. First Reading (True/False): Students read the fable quickly and complete the true/false exercise in the PPT.
- The woodcutter lost his axe on his way to the lake. (F)
- The fairy jumped into the lake four times to look for the axe. (F)
- The moral of this fable is to be honest. (T)
2. Check answers together.
3. Second Reading (Sequencing): Students read again and put the events in order (1–6) using the PPT exercise.
4. Third Reading (Gap-fill): Students complete the passage with correct forms of the phrases (come up with, make a living, shake one's head, be happy with).
Step 4: Post-reading & Language Focus (10 mins)
1. Discussion: Ask students: "What is the moral of this fable?" (Honesty is the best policy.) "Why is honesty important?"
2. Language Points: Use the PPT to explain:
- honest (adj.) – honesty (n.) – honestly (adv.) – dishonest (opposite)
- make a living (earn money to live)
- come up with (think of and propose an idea) vs. think of
- shake one's head (to say no or disagree)
- be happy with (be satisfied with)
- so + adj./adv. + that... (result clause) – give examples from the story: "The fairy was so happy with the woodcutter's honesty that she gave him the other two axes."
Step 5: Retelling Practice (8 mins)
1. Model retelling: The teacher retells the fable briefly using key phrases.
2. Pair work: Students practice retelling the fable to their partner using the key words on the board.
3. Sharing: Invite 2–3 students to retell the fable to the class.
Step 6: Summary & Homework (2 mins)
1. Summary: Review the moral of the story and key vocabulary. Ask: "What does 'Honesty is the best policy' mean?"
2. Homework:
- Basic: Write a short paragraph retelling the fable in your own words (5–6 sentences).
- Advanced: Choose another fable (e.g., "The Hare and the Tortoise") and retell it in English. Write down the moral.
- Preview Unit 6, Lesson 3.
