T: Sadly, I am afraid of dogs. They often bark at me. When a dog opens its mouth wide, I’m afraid that it’ll bite me. And I often see them fight. T: However, my husband thinks dogs the cleverest animal of all. They don’t need much. They only need a gentle

touch. He says he’ll look after his dog till the end. What can I do? 【设计意图：通过表述我和丈夫对狗的不同观点，使学生在简单易懂的语境中认识新单词与短语，同时又在不知不觉中为他们理解下面诗歌做好相关铺垫。】

Step 3 Reading

1. Words rhyme in a poem T: Now I have something special for you. It’s about dogs. Let’s listen and read after the tape. T: We call this kind of article “a poem”. When we read a poem, we can find that some of the words in the poem rhyme. Words rhyme if the last syllables make the same or similar sound. Would you like to find these words together with me? (1) “ All ” rhymes with “ ball ”. (2) “ Wide ” rhymes with “ hide ”. (3) “ Tricks ” rhymes with “ sticks ”. (4) “ Bite ” rhymes with “ fight ”. (5) “ Friend ” rhymes with “ end ”. 【设计意图：

Here is one example. Let’s enjoy a song.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star, “ Star

” rhymes with “are”. How I wonder what you are.

Up above the world so high, “ High

” rhymes with “sky”. Like a diamond in the sky.
