Step2 Revision

1. T: Now, let’s do some speaking. I’ll ask one of you to come to the front and act out some activities, and others guess what she is doing, understand? Amy, come here, please. (Ask the student to pretend to eat, read a book, clean the blackboard…Guide the student to practice some activities, then ask the class to ask and answer.)

T: This picture, Lifeng, you two, please. (Ask pairs of students to practice the target language.)

Step3 Pairwork 2c

1. Ask Ss to read the sample conversation. Let Ss look at the first group of pictures, and ask them to guess what the people are doing.

T: Look at this picture, please. This is Nancy. She is sitting at the desk. Do you know what she is doing? Is she dancing eating? Can you guess?

S: No, she isn’t. She is writing a letter.(show the pictures) Now, please open your books, turn to page 26. Look at Activity 2c. There are three pairs of pictures left, right? Match the pictures first. Then imitate the sample conversation, work in pairs. Students A look at the first row, and guess what the people are doing. Students B look at the second row and answer the questions. For example, A: Is Mary writing? B looks at the picture and answers yes or no. Understand? OK, let’s begin…
