Teaching procedures　　

I. Warming up (2mins)　　

Step 1: Lead-in（1min）　　

T: Class begins!　　

M: Stand up!　　

T: Good morning, class. 　　

Ss: Good morning, Miss Wang.　　

T: Sit down please. Today we are going to learn Lesson 　1 A　 Perfect Day, please open your book and turn to page 8. First I would like to ask you: What do you think is a perfect day? What is your ideal lifestyle? Please think the two questions when we are learning this lesson and then I will ask some of you to present your ideas at the end of this period. 　　

Step 2: Reviewing (1min)　　

T: In last period, we’ve learnt a lot of words to express lifestyles. Is there anyone who wants to tell us? 　　

Ss: boring, busy, dangerous, active, easy…　　

II. Reading (28mins)　　

Step 1: Filling the blank (8mins)　　

T: Right, very good. Today, we have two men with two different lifestyles. They will tell us what they are doing during one day. Please scan the first passage, fill in the blank and then choose some words here to express his lifestyles.　　

Time	What does he do?
Until about half past ten	Turn on the television and watch the children’s programmes and old movies
In the afternoon	Watch another good old film, take Tina for a walk
In the evenings	Watch TV series or sport and the news again
At six o’clock	Watch the main news
At nine thirty	Watch a good play on BBC2
At night	Watch more films
At two o’clock	Switch off the TV

T: Do you all finish it? Any volunteer who wants to have a try?

S: ….

T: Well done! From this form, we get the idea that Brian watches a lot of TV. So, we call him “couch potato”. A couch potato means someone who watches lots (some would say too much!) of television. They spend a lot of time sitting on the couch and watching TV. Therefore, if someone spends a lot of time sitting in front of the computer and clicking the mouse, what will call him?

Ss: Computer potato/ Mouse potato…

T: Not bad! We call him mouse potato. Now let’s go back to this form, which word will you choose to describe Brian’s lifestyle?

Ss: Lazy, boring…

T: Is Brian’s lifestyle healthy? Why or why not?

Ss: No. Because…

Step 2: Discussion (8mins)　　

T: Yes, he spends too much time watching TV. Now I have a task for you. Four students are a group. Ask each of the group members what kind of TV progammes does he or she like and watch? How long does he or she spend in watching TV a day? Here are some phrases to help you. I will give you 4 minutes to discuss.

T: Time is up. Which group will come first?

Ss:...

T: All of you have done a good job! As students, we shouldn’t spend too much time watching TV. On the one hand, it’s bad for our eyesight. On the other hand, it’s a waste of time. But some TV programmes are good for us. They can widen our view and broaden our knowledge, such as CCTV 10(Outlook English Speaking Competition…).

Step 3: Scanning (6mins)　　

T: Now scan the second passage quickly with the following 3 questions. I will give you 4 minutes to finish it.

Questions in page 8, exercise 4:

Q1: How does Bob spend his morning and evening?

Q2: Why does Bob’s family complain(抱怨)?

Q3: Why does Bob work so hard?

T: Have you finished them? OK, I will pick someone to answer the questions.

Ss: …

Suggested answers:

A1: Bob’s morning is very busy with very little time to get dressed and have breakfast and he has all kind of urgent matters. His evening is not easy, either. He has documents to read and never goes to sleep until mid-night.

A2: Because he seldom has time to for fun and other activities with his family.

A3: Because he wants to make more money for his family and he likes being busy.

T: Excellent!

Step 4: Talking (6mins)　　

T: Since we know something about Bob’s one day, so can you use some words to describe him?

Ss: Busy, tiring, stressful...

T: All right. Bob is involved himself in the job, thus we nickname him “workaholic”. Pay attention, “aholic” is a suffix. So, we call a person who addicts to alcohol “alcoholic” and a person who likes to go shopping “shopaholic”, etc.

T: Do you think Bob lives a healthy life? Why or why not? Work in pairs and exchange your opinion with your desk mate.

Ss: It is not healthy. Because he works too lot and rests less, it will do harm to his health.

T: Very good! As a saying goes: “all study and no play make John a dull boy”, therefore we had better make a balance between work and leisure.

III. Vocabulary and Grammar (14mins)　　

Step 1: Vocabulary and Practice (9mins)　　

T: In this lesson, we will learn some new phrases. Please look at the PPT.

3.switch over交换位置， 转换。

e.g.: You drive first and then we can switch over.

4. take up占据（时间、空间）　　

e.g.: This table takes up too much room. 这个桌子太占地方。　　

还可以表示： 开始学习某项课程；向…提出；开始做某项工作； 拿起武器；打断某人等。如：A few years later I dropped medicine and took up physics.几年以后我放弃了医学， 开始学习物理。　　

5. fill with : 充满be filled with=be full of

7. bring back:带回来

T: Now please turn to page 9 and do exercise 7. I will give you 2 minutes and then we will check together. Pay attention, use the correct form.

Step 2: Grammar and Practice (5min)　　

T: We have learnt present simple and present continuous. Now let’s review the two tenses together. Please look at page9, exercise 8.　　

T: I would like some of you to make some sentences for us. Any one who wants to have a try?　　

T: 小明经常搭公交车去上学。　　

S: Xiaoming often goes to school by bus.　　

T: Not bad. Sit down please. 玛丽正在房间里写日记。　　

S: Mary is writing a dairy in the room.　　

T: Good!　　

Homework :( 1min)　　

T: Today we learn two different and extreme lifestyles. They are not healthy lifestyles, right? So today’s homework is to list some activities according to the timetable(时刻表)that you think are healthy for a day and make yourselves a perfect day. I bet you must have your own picture. Are you all clear about that? OK, class is over! Goodbye, class!　　

Ss: Goodbye, Miss Wang!

学情回顾及教学反思：本课为高中英语学习的第一节课，涉及初高中衔接问题。因此，本课在设计的过程中，略带有初中英语快乐学习的元素，并且结合高中英语阅读技巧培养的元素，让学生既有熟悉感又不缺乏信心地来学习高中英语。本单元的话题也比较轻松愉快，能够结合高中生对高中学习生活的一个憧憬和向往，来帮助学生更好地适应高中的学习生活。另外，本堂课全英文展示，对于部分学生可能还不太适应，因此，适当地中文解释或者用简单易懂的表达会使学生更明白并且更有信心学习。
