Step IV Speaking T: Well, now it's time for us to be the editors of a newspaper. Here is a list of ten things that happened today. Look at the screen. (Teacher shows the screen and read through the list to the whole class.) 200 people died in an earthquake in Turkey. China beat Brazil 5-1 in football. France elected a new President. Three children from your city were killed. Someone robbed a bank in Shanghai. Food prices are going up. A house in your town burned down. Nobody was injured. 2 000 people in your city were happy today and moved into new buildings. A Chinese scientist has invented a new car engine that does not pollute the air. There is a rumour that a large company wants to build a factory in your town: (Bb :go up, burn down) T: Now, you've known the ten things, but you only need to report five of them. So, first decide which events you are going to put in your newspaper. Then give reasons for your choices and compare with your classmates. Work in groups of four or five. And the following expressions on the screen can help you with your dialogue. After a while, I'll ask some of you to act out your dialogue. (Teacher shows the screen. ) What do you think of'…? I would rather choose.… What's your opinion? I don't think we should choose… Why do you choose… Maybe it would be better to choose… Perhaps… is more important. Our readers want to know about…. (Teacher goes around the Ss and checks their work. If necessary, teacher may join in them. ) Sample dialogue: A: Hello! How is everything going? Have you finished your work? B: I'm very busy today. I've chosen five events among ten things that happened today to report in our newspaper. But I'm not sure whether I made the best choices. I need your advice. (责任编辑：admin) |
