Step 2: Lead-in

T:Now, attention to my question. What are we doing here?

Ss: We’re having an English class. T: You’re right. Next, We’ll watch the video and answer another question. Ss watch the video and then answer. (What’s Jackson doing? ---He’s singing and dancing. We’re watching the video. They are all showed on the screen.) Ss are given two minutes to observe the structure of the sentences and tell what they find... Ss: The ‘be +V-ing’ form express the present continuous tense.

Step 3 Revision T: Good. Now Let’s review the usage of the present continuous tense. Ss review the four situations using the present continuous tense. 现在进行时的基本用法：

a. 表示现在（指说话人说话时）正在发生的事情。

eg

We are waiting for you. 我们正在等你。

b. 表示现阶段暂时的情况，说话时动作未必正在进行。

What is Mr. Green doing recently? He is writing another novel. 他在写另一部小说。（说话时未必正在写，只处于写作的状态。）

c. 表示发展中的或正在改变的情况，常用动词有：get,grow,become,turn,run,go,begin等。

eg

The leaves are turning red.

叶子在变红。

It’s getting cooler and cooler. 天气越来越凉爽了。

d. 与always,constantly,forever等词连用，表示反复发生的动作或持续存在的状态，往往带有说话人的主观色彩（赞成、讨厌、生气等情绪）。

eg.

You are always changing your mind. 你老是改变主意。

Step 4 Discover useful structure T: That’s all for the revision. Let’s turn to another subject “ Discovering useful structures”.Read the dialogue to see if we can find out the same structure from it. Underline the verbs in the sentences, pay attention to the verb forms and do some explanations yourselves. Show the dialogue on the screen: A: Kate, I hear you are going to Beijing soon. When are you leaving? K: The day after tomorrow. A: How are you going there? K: I’m taking a plane. A: Where are you staying in Beijing? K: Shangri-La Hotel. A: How long are you staying there? K: Two weeks. Then I am going to Guilin. A: When are you coming back? ... Ss: We can see that the verbs are all used in the “-ing” form.They express future actions or plans.

T：Quite right. Show the Ss’ opinion on the screen and then the Objective of the lesson. T:

Can all the verbs be used in this situation? Ss:

No. Let Ss observe the example again, then work in a group of four work out the problem.“What verbs can be used like this?”Later, Ss show what they have found.

T: Wonderful! You should also pay attention to some other works, which people don’t use with the Present Continuous Tense.Three minutes later,Ss make a summary. 1.

表存在或位置：

be, lie, stand eg. Japan lies to the east of China. 2.

表所属：have, own, possess, belong to, fit, suit eg. Taiwan belongs to China.

Who owns this land? 3.

表知觉：see, hear,smell, taste, sound, look, feel, seem, appear eg. I smell the dinner cooking.

He seems quite happy. 4.

表认识、信仰、意见、怀疑、猜测、希望：know, think, understand, doubt, suppose, hope, wish eg. He doubts whether you will find your lost pen again. 5.

The Mid Autumn Festival is coming. Use the present continuous tense to write a short passage about your future plan. The following words may be helpful: where, how, when, what, who. Later, Ss exchange and check their articles, then share their holiday plan with each other.

Step6 :Summing up T: Today we have also grasped the usage of the present continuous tense for future use. But please pay attention. Not all verbs can ba used in the “-ing”form to express future action. Such verbs as come, go, leave, fly, stay, meet, die, see etc.

Are mainly used in the “-ing” form to express plan. After class you must remember the words we have learned and practice more about the present continuous tense .

Step7: Homework

Here is your homework.Think and try to find out what other structures can be used to express the futurity. OK,class is over. You are dismissed.
