ⅠComic strip

Step1 Warming up

A teacher shows students the picture of Superman and asks them some questions about Superman.

(T: teacher; Ss: students; S: student) T：Boys and girls, look at the picture. Do you know who he is? Ss: Superman. T: Good. He is Superman. And he has many abilities. Do you know what he can do? S1: He can fly. T: Good. He can fly. We can also say it in another way. He is able to fly. Ss: (read after the teacher) He is able to fly. T: Very good.

Step 2 Story-telling and creative thinking.

With the help of the pictures, the teacher encourages students to think about what will happen between Eddie and Hobo this time. With imagination, students act as the story-teller and will be inspired to think creatively to answer open questions.

(Picture 1) T: Now, Eddie wears the same clothes. What can we call him? Ss: Superdog? (curiously) T: Good. Eddie thinks he is Superdog. So could you say it for Eddie? S1：“I am Superdog” (nervously). S2：“I am Superdog”(happily). T: Listen to the recording and imitate it. Ss: “I am Superdog”.(excitedly) T: Very good. If you were Hobo, what would you say to Eddie? For example. How_______? S1: How amazing!

S2: How wonderful! S3: How cool! S4:How foolish! T: Excellent. This time, Hobo says…(point at the screen) Ss: “How cool!” (admirably) 乐己

(Picture 2) T:Now, look at Eddie. What does Eddie think he can do? S: He can fly. T: You are smart. And Eddie says... Ss: “I can fly”. (confidently and happily) T: Yes, I can fly! Or we can also say I am ...(point at “be able to” on the blackboard) Ss: I am able to fly! T: But Hobo says …(listen) S:“You?” (imitate the sound) T: Does Hobo believe it? Ss: No, he doesn’t believe it.

(Picture 3) T: So what does Eddie say this time? Ss: “Believe it or not!” (confidently) T: If you were Hobo, what would you say next? Ss: “Look out!” (loudly and urgently) T: What does “look out” mean in English? Ss: Be careful! T: Very good.( Teacher writes down “look out” and “be careful” on the blackboard) T: What will happen to Eddie next? S1: He will fly. S2: He will fall down.

(Picture 4) T: Ok. Let’s see what will happen to Eddie. Can Eddie fly? Ss: No, he can’t. T: So Eddie says... Ss: “See, you can’t fly, Eddie”.

Step 3 Imitation Students watch the cartoon and pay attention to the pronunciation, intonation and emotion. After that, students try to imitate it together by reading after the recording sentence by sentence.

Step 4 Role-play.

Students work in pairs to act out the dialogue. They are encouraged to use their body language, facial expressions, tools they have to make the dialogue interesting and creative. After preparation, some students will be invited to show their performances. The best pair will be the winner of this part.

Step 5 Story-retelling Students will be encouraged to fill in as many blanks as possible to retell the story. Eddie wears the same clothes like Superman. He thinks he is ________ and he ______ fly. At first, Hobo thinks it is _____ but he doesn't believe Eddie can do that. So Eddie says “________________” and he begins to fly. Hobo shouts “___________, Eddie”. At last, Eddie falls on the ground.

Congratulations to students who are willing to help the club and get at least two points. They are the members of the Helping Hands Club.

Step 5 Help the Helping Hands Club Make a poster. Students discuss in groups and make a poster on what we can do to help others. They can either refer to what they learn in class or express their own ideas freely. They write down ideas as many as possible on the poster and they can also decorate their poster with some pictures using colorful pens. Therefore, group members have different roles. They need to work as an organizer, a writer, a drawer, a timekeeper and thinkers. Each group will show their work of art and afterwards, each group votes for the best group.

Step 6 Conclusion The teacher inspires students to realize the importance of helping others and encourages them to do good things to help others in need. T: How do you feel after helping others?
