Key and Difficult Points:

Key point

Ss can extract specific information from the listening tasks and master the target vocabulary and sentence patterns related to inventions.

 

Difficult point

Ss can accurately use the passive voice structure "be used for" and distinguish the usage of "hundreds of" and specific numbers. Ss can fluently describe how a specific invention works.

 

Teaching Procedures:

 

Step 1: Lead-in

1). The teacher shows the photo of the Yellow Crane Tower and a high-speed train. Ask Ss: What can you see in the photo? How do you feel about the photo? What creative ideas can you find in it?

2). Guide Ss to realize that the photo shows a mix of traditional Chinese culture and modern transportation technology.

3). Brainstorm: Besides the high-speed train, what other inventions do you think bring about changes to our life?

4). Purpose: To activate Ss' background knowledge, stimulate their interest in the topic, and introduce the theme of the power of ideas.

 

Step 2: Pre-listening (Activity 1a)

1). Ask Ss to look at the pictures and match the names with the things (plane, camera, laptop, mobile phone, TV, high-speed train).

2). Let Ss guess when these things were invented. Provide the years (1839, 1903, 1925, 1964, 1973, 1981) and let them match.

3). Show a short video about high-tech smart inventions in daily life.

4). Introduce the listening context: Ella and Teng Fei are visiting the International Exhibition of Inventions. Let's explore the world of smart inventions together.

5). Purpose: To help students familiarize themselves with the target vocabulary and prepare for the listening tasks.

 

Step 3: While-listening

1). 1st listening (Activity 1b & 1c): Let Ss listen to the two conversations and find out where the inventions are from and what they are used for.
