Teaching Procedures

Step 1 Warming up 1.

T: Today Sally is going to tell us something about her good friend in our class. Listen carefully, and try to guess who she is. T: (After Sally’s speech) Yes, Anna is Sally’s good friend, although they have so many differences. Now let’s compare some other people.

T: Who is taller inour class, Feng Ganlu or Miao Boxuan ? S1: Miao Boxuan is taller than Feng Ganlu. T: Yes, but Mr Miao is only a little taller than Mr Feng. 3.

T: Another pair. Is Wang Haodong heavier than Duan Songan? S2: No, he isn’t. He is thinner than Duan Songan . T: Yes, Mr Wang is much thinner than Mr Duan, and Mr Duan is much heavier than Mr Wang. 4.

T: OK, last pair. Who is more outgoing in your family, you father or your mother?

S3: I think my father is more outgoing than my mother. T: Yes, good. Then who sings better, your father or your mother?

S3: My mother sings as well as my father.

T: Good! You mean both of your parents sing well. S3:Yes, they both sing well.

T: OK, you have learned to compare two persons. Today, we’ll learn how to compare three or more persons and things.

Step 2. Presentation 1.

T: Do you like watching movies? Where do you usually watch them? Some people say they watch movies at home, on TV or on Internet. But most of the time, I watch movies at movie theaters. Do you know movie theater? It can be also called cinema.(show the first PPT, teach the word movie theater/cinema) 2.

T: What does a good movie theater need?(show the second PPT, teach comfortable seats) Ss: Comfortable seats.

T: Yes. We need comfortable seats. Comfortable seats

means these seats are neither too hard nor too soft. Do you understand? 3.

T: (show the third PPT) We also need a big screen. I like a

big screen

because it can make me feel excited while watching movies. 4.

T: ( show the fourth PPT) And good sound is very important too.Good sound

can make you hear clearly. Look at this man.

What does he do? Can you guess? Ss: A DJ. 5.

T: (show the fifth PPT) Look at this. I’m sure we all like it. Yes, it means the price is not very expensive. We can afford it.

Step 3. Learn to compare

1.

T: There are three movie theaters. Their names are Town Cinema, Screen City, and

Movie World. Let’s learn to compare them. First, what do you think of their screens? (Present pictures of different screens, ask Ss to make comparisons.)

Write big-bigger-biggest on the Bb. 2.

Repeat the same procedure with comfortabe, good and cheap. Pay attention to quickly,

popular and close. 3.

T: Why can you buy tickets the most quickly in Town Cinema? Ss: Because there are many people working for you. 4.

T: There are many

people in Town Cinema. There are more

people in Screen City. And there are the most people in Movie World, so it’s the most popular. 5.

T: Pay attention to the pronunciation of close. Here it’s an adjective. It can be also a verb. For example, close the door/ close the window.

Practice 1.

Ask Ss to do 1a. T: Now you have know how to compare movie theaters. I'm sure you know how to choose which movie theater to go to. As for me, it’s important to have good sound.

close to home. It’s

not important to

buy tickets quickly. 2.
