二、教学过程

Step 1 Revision

1　 Revise the new words from Lesson 109, using flashcards.

2　 Play I spy or I can see game.

Step 2 Presentation

Draw a picture of a school on the Bb. Show a flashcard or picture of a bus and say Jim comes to school by bus. Students listen and repeat. Teach by bike / car and on foot in the same way. Explain that on is used with foot because people walk on their feet! Note that travel phrases like these have no articles or plurals.

Step 3 Drill

Show a flashcard and mention a person, like this:

T: (holding a flashcard of a bike) Bill.

S: Bill usually comes to school by bike.

T: I.

S: I usually come to school by bike.

T: (holding a flashcard of a pair of feet) Ann.

S: Ann usually comes to school on foot. (You could also accept Ann usually walks to school.)

Continue in this way for bus / car / boat / bike / ship / sea, etc.

Step 4 Ask and answer

SB Page 57, Part 1, Speech Cassette Lesson 110. Listen to the tape and repeat. Practise the dialogue. Then pairwork: get the students to make a dialogue for each picture, using the one in the book as a model. Ask some pairs to read their dialogues.

Step 5 Read and act

SB Page 57, Part 2, Speech Cassette Lesson 110. Play the tape, students listen. Teach holiday, take (time) and how long. Explain, It takes too much time means To go by train takes too much time. Now the students work in pairs and read and act out the dialogue, changing the lines to make it personal. Choose several pairs to act out their dialogue for the class.

Step 6 Listen and answer

SB Page 57, Part 3, Listening Cassette Lesson 110. Ask the students How do the six children come to school? Play the tape two or three times, if necessary, for the students to find the right answers.
