三. Teaching Methods
Task-based Language Teaching, Situational Visual Teaching, Layered Reading Tasks, Grammar Inductive Teaching, Cooperative Pair Work
四. Teaching Aids
Textbook, PPT (movie posters, film clips screenshots, genre word cards), grammar worksheet, dialogue script
4. Detailed Teaching Procedures
Step 1: Warm-up & Lead-in
Activities
1. Daily greeting. Ask simple interactive questions to activate prior knowledge:
Do you like watching movies?
What’s your favourite movie?
Invite 2–3 average students to answer with short sentences.
2. Show four Chinese movie posters on PPT, introduce the lesson topic: Today we will learn Moving pictures. We will know movie kinds, movie history and how to talk about films in English.
Design Intention
Connect students’ daily hobbies with the lesson theme to raise learning motivation; use familiar local movie posters to build a relaxed learning context; simple questions fit learners’ language output level.
Step 2: Pre-reading
Activities
1. Present movie genre words with poster pictures:
cartoon, comedy, science fiction, war movie, action, horror, documentary, musical.
Match words with corresponding poster styles. Students read aloud together then individually.
2. Explain core phrases from the dialogue with textbook sentences:
have an effect on: Movies have a big effect on our life.
be filled with: Comedies are filled with humour.
make contributions to: Chinese films make contributions to our culture.
3. Quick matching game: Match English genre words with Chinese meanings for whole-class checking.
Design Intention
Clear vocabulary barriers before reading; visual posters help students associate words with real scenes; short games improve classroom participation and consolidate word memorization quickly.
Step 3: While-reading
Task 1: Skimming
Students read the whole dialogue quickly, tick the movie types mentioned in the text:
✅ comedy, ✅ cartoon, ✅ science fiction, ✅ war
Invite students to underline the original sentences as evidence.
Design Intention:
Train skimming skill to locate key nouns rapidly; set clear directional tasks to reduce reading difficulty for students.
Task 2: Scanning
Read the conversation carefully again, answer two questions:
A. How long ago were movies invented?
Movies were made just over 100 years ago.
B. What were the first movies like?
They had no colours, no music or dialogue; they were only moving pictures.
Teacher guides students to find answers paragraph by paragraph.
Design Intention:
Practise scanning reading to get specific facts; train students to retrieve information strictly from the text, standardize answer logic suitable for learners.
Task 3: Grammar observation
Highlight two yellow-marked sentences in the textbook:
1. Comedies are filled with humour. (present passive)
2. When movies were first created, they were not in colour. (past passive)
Induce the rule simply: Past passive:
was/were + verb past participle; used when we focus on the action receiver, not the doer.
Design Intention:
Adopt inductive grammar learning instead of rigid rule teaching; let students discover rules from textbook examples, which is easier for students to understand and apply.
Step 4: Post-reading
Activity 1: Past passive fill-in-the-blank
Finish the passage with correct passive forms, check answers together:
1. was directed
2. was loved
3. was watched
4. was attracted
Teacher explains subject agreement rules briefly (singular subject uses was).
Activity 2: Dialogue role-play
Divide students into groups of three (Li Ming, Wang Mei, Li Lin). Students read the dialogue in roles. Teacher walks around to correct pronunciation and phrase usage mistakes.
Design Intention:
Consolidate grammar knowledge in contextual passages; role-play transfers written input to oral output; group learning lowers speaking anxiety for students.
Step 5: Production
Activities
1. Offer fixed sentence frames for Exercise 5 to support students:
My favourite movie is ______. It is a ______ (genre).
It was directed by ______. It is full of fun / excitement.
2. Students work in pairs to introduce one favourite movie; select 2 groups to share their speeches in front of the class.
Design Intention
Realize knowledge application and output; sentence scaffolds help students finish speaking tasks confidently; combine language knowledge with personal experience to cultivate cultural expression ability.
Step 6: Summary & Homework
Whole-class Summary
1. Teacher reviews key knowledge:
movie genres, movie history, simple past passive voice structure, useful expressions for introducing films.
2. Cultural promotion:
Chinese excellent films carry our traditional culture, and we should be proud of domestic movies.
Homework
1. Basic Task: Copy movie genre words and four passive sentences from Exercise 4.
2. Intermediate Task: Recite the dialogue and finish all textbook exercises.
3. Extended Task: Write 4 simple sentences to introduce your favourite film using passive voice.
Design Intention
