(2) An activity.
This game works for as many as twenty to twenty-five Ss. Repeat the game so everyone has a turn. Prepare a set of vocabulary cards you want to review (the twelve months, the four seasons and different weather). Give each student a card. Do not let Ss stand beside each other. Spread them out in the classroom. When you say Go! the Ss all begin saying the word on their vocabulary card over and over again.
a. They must move to find the other Ss in the classroom who are saying the same type of word over and over.
b. Or they may form groups like this: spring — March, April, May — warm, windy.
Step II Lead-in
Point to the twelve Ss with the month cards at the front of the classroom:
T：How many months are there in a year?
Ss: There’re twelve months in a year.
T: Let’s say them together.
Ss: January, February, March, April, …
T: Good. January is the first month of the year. The second month is February. The third month is March. … (Show the cards with ordinal numbers. Have Ss repeat them a few times.)
Step III Grammar Focus
T: One, two, three, … we call them cardinal numbers. First, second, third, … we call them ordinal numbers. They often end with “th”. They are used as not only ordinal numbers, but also adjectives or adverbs. They are usually used together with “the”, but sometimes with “a” or without an article.
Pay attention to the following words:
One—first; two—second; three—third; five—fifth; nine—ninth; twelve—twelfth.
Step IV Presentation
Use a Chinese calendar to practise:
T: Look here! What’s the date today? (Have Ss repeat it and tell them to answer with “it is…”.)
Ss: It’s November 18th.
T: What’s the date tomorrow?
Ss: It is November 19th.
T: What was the date yesterday? (“Yesterday” shows we should use “The Simple Past Tense”. “Was” is the p.t. of “is”. )
Ss: It was November 17th.
Tell Ss that: They can write the first three letters of each month for short. For example: November 18th—Nov. 18th, July 20th—Jul. 20th.
Then ask some Ss to be teachers and show the others cards with dates. Let Ss say the dates correctly:
S1: What’s the date?
S2: It’s …
Step V Competition
Divide the class into four groups. Ask one student to say ten dates quickly. The others write them down. Who writes down the most is the winner.
Step VI Presentation
Show a picture on the screen (Part 1, on Page 63):
T: How many Ss can you see in the picture?
Ss: Three.
T: What are they doing?
Ss: They’re running.
T: Yes, they’re running. We call it “race”. (Have Ss repeat it.) Who is first / second / third?
Ss: … (Chinese is OK.)
T: The boy in a blue T-shirt is first.
The girl is second.
The boy in red shorts is third.
“In” here means “wearing”. We often use “in” like this:
The woman in black (= in black clothes) is his mother.
The girl is in red (= in red clothes.).
Ss make up sentences like the examples above. Then practise like this, using the picture on the screen or other pictures of stars:
S1: Look! Who is the girl?
S2: Which girl?
S1: The girl in blue.
S2: She is Li Yuchun.
