Task-based Language Teaching 3P (Communicative Language Teaching) Teaching procedure Stage 1: Warming up and lead-in I personify past participle and read a simple self introduction of it.

Purpose: By doing so, the students will find grammar is not so abstract to understand. At the same time, I can arouse the students’ interest in what they are going to learn.

Step 2: Sum up the grammar rules 1. I show some pictures about the English Contest held the last week, and a dialogue between a student and I on Wechat. In which some verbs of emotion appear, and then I will ask students to find out the differences between the -ing form and the -ed form. Discovery 1: 情感动词两分词，意思不同要记牢。现在分词是

感到…… . Purpose: This task is not difficult because these words are frequently used. Building characters and strengthening morality will be where our education goes. Besides the knowledge objective, I hope the students can feel proud of their class and groups, and know the importance of cooperation.

2. Appreciate a poem that I wrote for my birthday.

In this short poem, all the past participles are used as attribute. The students should find out when to put a past participle before a noun 1

These sentences are fun examples with a picture attached to make them more vivid. After analyzing these sentences, the students should know the passive meaning of a past participle.

There is a lovely English teacher named Mary. 3) On Mother’s Day, Mother was happy to see the sweater made of my own wool.

Purpose: This activity is meant to inspire the students to use English more. In fact, in the daily teaching, I always encourage my students to think actively and to participate. English is a tool to communicate, a tool to express what you feel and what you think. Stage 3: Practice---consolidation Now it is time for the students to practice.

exercises are well-chosen. Some are fun, like number 1. Some can raise their cultural awareness.

like number 3.

Then follows a guessing game. Running man is a popular TV program, so I describe Deng Chao using past participle as attribute and predicative, and the students will listen carefully and guess

who he is. It is also used as an example for the students to imitate.

Stage 4 Production---Group work In this stage, the students worked in groups and described their own topics by following my example of Deng Chao. They are required to use past participle as attribute and predicative. Later a member comes to the front to read their description and the other students guess who he/she is or what it is.

Purpose: Through this activity, I can know how well the students have mastered what they have learnt.

Stage 5 Homework Make up a story by using past participles as attribute and predicative. Blackboard design Book 5 Unit 1 Great Scientists

Grammar Past participle as

attribute

predicative Teaching effect and Reflection Teaching effect: The students actively took part in the class activities and concluded the grammatical rules, they could finish the exercises correctly, and they worked in groups to describe their topic using past participle as attribute and predicative, and polished the sentences together. From their facial expressions and body language, I can see they are very proud to have taken part in the English Contest. From my interaction with the students after class, I know they like the poem and the song, and even admire me. They also have the urge to write something of their own. So on the whole, the students meet my expectations. But because time was limited, not all the groups had the chance to go to the front to do the presentation.

Reflection: How to help the students to understand past participle in passages is what I am going to practice in my class.
