Teaching Procedures:

 

Step 1: Project Preparation (Lead-in)

1). Group work: Ask Ss to think of 10 things that are important in life (e.g., technology, entertainment, housing, environment, education, medical care, transport, shopping).

2). Guide Ss to design a survey based on these 10 things to interview their parents or grandparents.

3). Present sample questions: What were computers like when you were young? How did you get to school? What did you do for entertainment? etc.

 

Step 2: Project Implementation (Interview & Comparison)

1). Ask Ss to share the answers they collected from their interviews.

2). Guide Ss to compare their elders' lives at their age with their own lives now.

3). Let Ss list the differences in a table or chart. For example:

   - Then: Most people didn't have computers; traveled by bike or on foot (took over half an hour); watched TV or listened to tapes.

   - Now: Home computers are common; use smart devices; travel by car or subway.

4). Encourage Ss to express their feelings about these changes.
