Step Ⅰ Greetings and Lead-in

Now since the students have been familiar with their teachers, show some pictures of their teachers. Students work in groups of four to describe the pictures. After their discussion, ask one student to describe one of the pictures, and the others guess who he / she is describing. It is a practice of the words in Activity 1 on P11 at the same time. T: Do you know this man / woman? Show a picture of the teacher himself / herself. Ss: It’s you!

T: Right! What’s your impression of me? Can you describe me in one or two sentences? S1: You’re a slim and warm-hearted teacher.

S2: You can explain what we don’t understand clearly by showing us interesting examples.

S3: You are energetic, so we are full of energy in your class, especially when we are playing games.

S4: I’m very lucky to be your student, because you never scold us but always smile. That encourages us a lot.

T: Thank you very much. I’ll keep on working hard and I believe we can make great progress together. Show some pictures of other teachers. T: Look at these pictures. Do you know them? Yes, they are your teachers. Describe one of them with your partners and try to use the words in Activity 1 at the same time. A few minutes later. T: OK. Now I’d like one of you to describe a teacher in class while the others guess who it is. Attention, don’t mention the teacher’s name. Just guess according to your description. S1: Let me try. She is a little shy. Sometimes she speaks in a low voice, so we can’

t hear her clearly. But she is very patient and explains everything till we understand them. Who is she?

Ss: Miss He.

S2: None of us dares to come to her class late. And we have to hand in our homework on time, or you’ll be found reciting a text in her office. She is very strict, but we all like her, especially those who lack self- control.

Ss: Mrs Wang.

S3: We are all very nervous in his class, because he keeps on asking questions. If you don’t review the last lesson and can’t answer his questions, you’ll feel very stupid.

Ss: Mr Zhang.

S4: This teacher is humorous and popular with us. When we are tired, he will tell jokes. But his classes are not well organized, he always jump from one topic to another.

Ss: Mr Du.

S5: She is very careful, and always returns our home-work on time and corrects our mistakes carefully.

Ss: Miss Li.

Students may give different descriptions. T: Excellent! In your opinion, what’s a good teacher like? Tick the statements that you agree with in Activity 3, P11. Students read and tick the statements. T: I am sure different students have different criteria. Let’s listen to the tape and see what criteria Alex has. Tick the statements that he agrees with in Activity 3. Students listen and tick the statements. Let the students compare his / her criteria with Alex’s. Step Ⅱ Fast reading

T: In this period, I am going to introduce you another three teachers. First, turn to P12 and look at their pictures. They are Mrs Li, Mrs Chen and Mr Wu. Let’s answer the following questions before reading according to the pictures. Questions:

1. What’re your impressions of each teacher? 2. Which teacher do you think the students like a lot? 3. Who is a very good teacher but serious and strict? 4. What subjects does each teacher teach? S1: According to the picture, Mrs Li is young and energetic. The students must like

her a lot. I think she is an English teacher.

S2: Mrs Chen must be very strict with her students. Form the picture we can see she is

very serious. So I think not all of her students like her. Maybe she is a history

teacher.

S3: I guess Mr Wu is very handsome and amusing. His lessons must be very

interesting. And the students are likely to like him a lot. I think he teaches

chemistry.

T: Very bold guessing! But we need to read the text to see whether what you said is true or false. Now let’s read the text quickly and find the true answers. After the students read the text, ask some to tell their answers. T: Any differences between your first impressions and the facts? Who’d like to tell us the facts about the teachers? Sample answers:

1. Mrs Li is kind and patient. Mrs Chen is strict and her teaching is well organized and clear. Mr Wu is energetic and amusing. 2. Mrs Li and Mr Wu. 3. Mrs Chen. 4. Mrs Li teaches English, Mrs Chen teaches physics and Mr Wu teaches Chinese. Words and phrases

T: Now let’s deal with some new words in the text. Look at the box in Activity 2 on P13. Please complete the sentences using the words from the box. Change the form where necessary. After the students finish it, check their answers in class. T: Please read the definitions in Activity 3 on P13 first to make sure you understand them and then find words and phrases from the text My New Teachers that match them. Students read and do the match. Then check the answers.

Explanations

T: Wonderful! Now, let’s deal with some language points. If you have any questions, please raise your hands. S: Can you explain this sentence “There are a few students in our class who keep coming to class late but they are always on time for Mrs Chen’s lessons.”? T: The writer wants to tell us Mrs Chen is very strict with her students. Some students are always late for lessons, but they are on time for Mrs Chen’s lessons. “Who”

refers to “a few students”. T: Pay attention to this sentence “Mr Wu’s only been teaching us for two weeks and he’s already very popular.”

Here, “Mr Wu’s”

equals to “Mr Wu has”

and “he’s”

means “he is”. “Have been teaching us for two weeks”

means Mr Wu has taught us for two weeks and now he is still teaching us. Any other questions? Step Ⅲ Careful reading

In this part, the students will read the passage again and work together with their partners to learn the way the author describes a teacher. Then show a table on the screen. Give them a few minutes to fill in the table about the whole text. Check the answers with the whole class. T: The author describes the three teachers so vividly as if they were just around us.

Can you tell me in which aspects the writer describes the three teachers? Discuss with your partners, please. After discussion. S: in each paragraph, the author describes the teachers’

personalities, subjects they

teach and their ways of teaching. He / she gives examples to support his / her

points. In the third paragraph, the teacher’s appearance is also described.

T: You are quite right. Now let’s try to get a general understanding of the passage. Fill in the table on the blackboard after reading the text again. Draw a table on the blackboard. Name Mrs Li Mrs Chen Mr Wu Subject Appearance Personality Examples Sample answers:

Name Subject Appearance Personality Examples

Mrs Li English Kind, patient Explain grammar clearly, avoid making students feel stupid Mrs Chen Physics sixty serious, strict, organized and clear Not smile much, none dare to be late, explain exactly what is happening Mr Wu Chinese 28,good-looking Energetic and amusing Talk loudly and fast, wave his hand about a lot, tell jokes sometimes Step Ⅳ Retelling

Give the students several minutes to prepare for retelling. After they retell the passage, they will understand deeply how the author describes a teacher, and master the way of descripting people. T: Among the three teachers, which do you like best and why? Choose one of them and describe him /her by retelling the passage. You may refer to the table above. Samples of retelling:

S1: I like Mrs Chen because she is strict with her students. Her teaching is well organized and clear. And during scientific experiments, she explains exactly what is happening. I’m interested in physics but I don’t know how to learn it well. Also, I have a bad habit of wasting time playing games. I think that I would do well in physics with the help of Mrs Chen.

S2: Good teachers are always very kind. I like Mrs Li because she is kind and patient and she explains grammar clearly. Just as the writer, I hate making mistakes in class, so I am a little nervous when a teacher asks me to answer questions, especially when I can’t answer them. Sometimes I can’t focus my attention on learning but expect the lesson is over as soon as possible. Mrs Li understands her students as she just smiles and avoids making her students feel stupid. I would be brave enough to answer questions in class and make rapid progress, if I were a student of Mrs Li.

S3: I prefer Mr Wu. In my opinion if a teacher is full of energy and devotes himself to the lesson, his / her students will be interested in the lesson and follow the teacher to learn new knowledge. None of the students can fall asleep and all are eager to learn more about the subject. An amusing and interesting teacher is also very popular. I always fall asleep in class. An interesting class can draw our attention.
