◇教学过程◇
Step 1 Leading in
1.Greet the class and review the adverbial clauses with “when” and “where”.Ask:“What did we learn about fundraising in last class?Do you think money is the most important thing in life?”
2.Lead in the passage:“Today we will read a book review of The Gift of the Magi by O.Henry.It will tell us a warm story about love and money.”
Step 2 Work on Activities 1 and 2
1.Show the pictures of the couple and their gifts.Ask students to answer the questions:“What do you think of the couple?What do you think of the gifts in the picture on the right?What do you think happens to the couple?”
2.Let students read the book review quickly to find out the writer’s opinion on The Gift of the Magi.
3.Invite students to share their answers and get the main idea of the review.
Step 3 Work on Activity 3
1.Ask students to read the book review carefully and complete the notes with the words and expressions from the passage.
2.Check the answers together.Explain key words and phrases.
3.Guide students to analyse the structure of the book review:introduction (title,writer,main characters),plot (key events),and comment (personal opinion).
Step 4 Work on Activity 4
1.Divide students into groups to discuss the questions.Guide students to make inferences from the text,such as the meaning of “sixty cents of it was in pennies”.
2.Invite groups to share their ideas and comment on their answers.
Step 5 Think and share
1.Ask students to discuss:“What is the surprise ending of the story?Do you like it?Do you agree with the writer’s comment on the story?Why or why not?”
2.Guide students to see things from different perspectives and express their own opinions freely.Emphasise that love is more valuable than money.
Step 6 Work on Activity 5
1.Guide students to choose another story or book about money.Ask them to fill in the chart with facts about the story/book,such as title,writer,and main characters.
