Visiting a school

Teaching aims:

Knowledge aims:

Students will master the pronunciations and differences in the letter groups “gl” and “cl”.

Students can grasp the meanings of some words like “glass”, “gloves”, “clock” and “clothes”.

Ability aims:

Students will know how to pronounce “gl” and “cl” in words.

Students will improve their speaking ability through chant.

Emotional aims:

Students will improve their interest in learning English, and be fond of taking part in all kinds of class activities.

Students can learn to give their parents a hand in doing housework.

Teaching key and difficult points:

Key point: to master the pronunciations of these two letter groups, and know how to pronounce them in words.

Difficult point: to discriminate these two letter groups in speaking, and improve their confidence in learning English.

Teaching procedures:

Step 1: Warming-up

1. Greetings. Talk about the weather.

2. Share a riddle with students:

I have a big round face.

I have no legs but I can walk.

I have no mouth but I can say “tick-tock”, “tick-tock”

Ask the answer of this riddle (clock), and tell students that we are going to learn something about the related pronunciation.

Step 2: Presentation

1. Present the words with the help of pictures on the screen.

2. Let students find the similarities among the words and share their answers. Then let them listen to the tape and find out the differences of these two letter groups in pronunciation.

3. Explain the pronunciation rule: if we meet the letter groups of “gl” and “cl” in words, we often pronounce [gl] and [cl] respectively. Then ask students to pay attention to the differences by watching the teacher’s mouth and imitate.

Step 3: Practice

Play a game called Send Words Home. Present the words on the PPT, and draw two houses of the letter groups “gl” and “cl” on the blackboard. Five students in a group are to have a discussion in three minutes about where the words on the PPT belong to. Then invite some students to the front to write down their answers, and read them aloud. Check answers and give evaluations.

Step 4: Production

Ask students to make a chant based on the words that we learned today. Work in groups of four in five minutes. Later, invite some students to share their chants. For example:

Clock, clock, clock on the wall

Clothes, clothes, clothes on the bed

Glass, glass, glass on the window

Gloves, gloves, gloves on the hands

Give evaluations and encouragements.

Step 5: Summary and Homework

Summary: ask a student to conclude the content of today's lesson, then tell them to form a good habit of giving parents a hand in housework.

Homework: let students share the chant with their parents, and try to create a story based on the words that we have learned today.
