3． Check homework by asking some students to read their sentences they’ve made with the verbs． Let them hand in their homework．

4． Dictate ten words in Unit 7．

Step Ⅱ la

In this unit we learn to offer to help．

We’ll use some phrasal verbs． Each phrasal verbs has two or three words, such as clean up, cheer up, give out．

Here is an example on how to use clean up． Look at the title of Unit 8． I’ll help clean up the city parks． Repeat it twice, please．

Ask the children to read the title twice．

Then go on saying, "clean up means make a place clean and tidy, put things there in order"． Let’s see another example, We should always clean up after a picnic．

Who can explain this sentence in your own, words?

Ask one student to explain the sentence．

He or she may say like this． This sentences means we should burn wastepaper, collect litter and empty bottles, etc．

Then ask the class． Who can make more sentences with clean up?

Ask several students to share their sentences to the class．

Do the same with the other phrasal verbs．

Read the instructions to the students．

Please look at the picture now． We can see a bulletin board and two children in it． What is the bulletin board about?

Help students to answer: Volunteer Today!

Then continue saying, "Who can tell me the meaning of volunteer?"

Ask one student to try to explain it． Then tell them the meaning of it． Volunteer means a person who offers to do something unpleasant or dangerous． It means a person who offers to help the others sometimes． Volunteer is used as a verb in this lesson．

Draw the students’ attention to the three posters on the board．

We can see one sentence in each poster．

And we can see some people in each poster, too． What are the volunteers doing in each poster? Please work in pairs and talk about the posters．

Give the students a few minutes to talk about what they will say． Let them talk about all the three items． Move around and help the pairs as needed．

Then read the sentences in the posters to the class． Ask the pairs of students to explain what the sentence means in their own words． Or tell what the volunteers are doing in the posters．

For example, for the first poster, a pair might say:

It means there is trash in the park． There are papers on the ground． We can help clean up the park by picking up papers and trash． We can make the park clean．

After the students have finished all the items, ask the students to add some other ways they can help people． Get them to write the ways down in the box below the picture．

At last, ask some students to share their ideas with the class． Write any new words or phrases on the board and explain these words to the class, if necessary．

Step Ⅲ 1b

Call the students’ attention to the two lists in the box in Activity lb． Ask some students to read the eight sentences on the lists to the class． Explain any new words and phrases in it．

Make sure that all the students can understand the meanings of the eight items．

Then get the children to read the instructions together．

Say, we will hear four conversations．

Your task is to match the items in the two lists． We can see the blanks in front of the first line of each conversation． Listen to the conversations and write the letter in front of the first line of each conversation． Put the letters of the second line of conversations in right places．

Point out the sample answer to the class．

Play the recording the first time． Tell the students to only listen．

Then play the recording a second time．

Tell them to write a letter in front of each numbered sentence this time．

Check the answers．

Step Ⅳ 1c

Read the instructions with the class．

Call their attention to the example in the speech bubbles in Activity la． Ask a pair of students to read this conversation to a class． Then let them practice in pairs．

Note their pronunciation of "like to" in phrases such as, I’d like to help hungry people． Tell them English speakers usually pronounce the words "like to" as if they were spelled like-tuh．

Play the I’d like to statements on the recording to demonstrate this pronunciation．

After they’ve finished practicing the sample conversation, ask them to make up similar conversations based on the other two posters． Get two pairs to demonstrate two conversations first．

Then let the whole class practice in pairs．

After that, play the recording of activity 1b and let the children read after it twice．

Then ask them to practice similar conversations using the information in Activity 1b．

Then call the students’ attention to the title of the article and ask the children to read it out． Ask them the question again．

This time they may answer． They are three volunteers．

Read the instructions to the students．

This is an article about volunteers． You have two tasks to do: first underline the kinds of work the volunteers do; second circle the reasons why they like their work．

Continue saying． The names of the three volunteers are Li Huiping, Lan Pei and Zhu Ming． The article tells you about the different things they do to help people．

Please read the article the first time and underline the things they do． There are three questions on the blackboard to help you．

Write the three questions on the blackboard and tell them to scan the passage to get the answers and underline the words．

Questions

 1． What does Li Huiping do to help people as a volunteer?

Read the instructions to the students．

Make sure that each one knows what to do．

Let the students look at the sentences in the left column first． Try to explain the four sentences in English for the children, especially the new phrasal verbs in the sentences． Say to them like this:

Please look at the sentences on the left column． Let’s get the meanings of them．

Let’s see the first one． I’ve run out of it

Here, run out of is a phrasal verb． It means reach an end of, use up or become short of． I’ve run out of it, means I’ve used it up, nothing left．

Explain the other sentences in the same way．

After explaining the sentences, read each sentence in the box and ask the students to repeat．

Then ask several students to explain the sentences with letters in front of them．

Tell them to explain them in their own sentences． For example, Sentence a, the student might respond． My bicycle was broken． I couldn’t ride it． I got new tires and a new seat． Now it works fine．

Read the instructions again and ask the students to match the sentences with similar meanings．

Say, Now match the numbered sentences with the lettered sentences in the box．

Write the letter of one sentence in front of the number of the matching sentence．

Look at the first sentence． The answer has been given． It’s Sentence b． Find out the answers to the other sentences．

Check the answers by asking different students to read their matched sentences．

Call the students’ attention to the phrasal verbs in the box． Have four different students explain each phrases in their own words．

Make sure each student knows the phrasal verbs’ meanings．

Then ask the students to read the instructions together．

Now let’s make sentences with the words in the box． Please look at the sample sentence in your book． Who would like to read it and explain it in your own language?

Ask one student to read the sample sentence and explain it． He or she might explain like this:

The meaning of this sentence is I give my bicycle to charities without money．

Who can make another sentence with give away? Please put up your hands．

Ask two or three students who have put up their hands to say their sentences to the class． Correct any mistakes they may make．

Then have the students work individually． Make one sentence with each phrasal verb in the box． Tell them to write down their sentences on the lines next to the box．

Walk around the classroom as they write． Offer some help to them if they need． Try to remember who have made some wonderful sentences at the same time．

After all of them have finished writing, choose some children who have made some wonderful sentences to share theirs with the class． Choose some of the best sentences． Write them on the blackboard．

At last, ask the whole class to work in pairs and help each other． Let them check each other’s sentences very carefully．

Step Ⅵ 2a

Call the students’ attention to the four pictures． Tell them the boy’s name is Jimmy． Read the instructions to the class． Your task is to number the pictures the correct order while you are listening to the conversation on the tape． But I want to ask you to guess the answer without listening now．

Try to put the four pictures in a certain order to show a story of Jimmy by yourselves now． I’ll see whose answers ant correct after we finish doing the listening practice．

Then have them give their own order by guessing． After a while, ask several ones to tell their answers to the whole class．

Collect two or three answers which many students support on the blackboard．

Next, ask some students to tell their own stories on the pictures according to their own orders．

After that, ask the students to get ready to listen．

Say, We will hear a radio program． A man is interviewing a boy． Write a number in each short line next to each picture while you are listening． Your numbers should be from 1 through 4 and show which thing they talk about first, second, third and fourth．

Play the recording the first time．

Students only listen．

Then play the recording again． Ask students to number the pictures．

Check the answers． Remember to say congratulations to the children who guessed correctly．

Step Ⅴ 2b

Read the instructions together with the children． Make sure that everyone knows what to do．

Call the students’ attention to the box．

Ask four students to read the four sentences to the class．

Point to the list of statements and true/false choices．

We will listen to the same recording again． Before I play the recording, let’s do like this． —If you can remember the contents of the conversation, please you’re your answers; if you can’t remember the contents, please just guess the answers． It doesn’t matter whether your answers are right or wrong．

After a while, have the students get ready to listen．

Play the recording again． Ask the students to circle the correct answer to each question—T for true or F for false．

Check the answer． Remember to say congratulations to the students who had a good guess before listening．

Step Ⅱ Part 1

This activity focuses or vocabulary introduced in the unit． Ask a student to read the instructions．

We have two tasks now． First let’s fill in the blanks． Look at the words given in the box． They are all phrasal verbs． Do you know the meaning of each phrasal verb?

Who has any problem? Show me by raising your hands．

Help solve the problems． Do some explanation if necessary． For example, if someone is not sure about hang out, tell him or her, hang out means spend one’s time lazily．

Let them do the work individually． Tell them to choose a correct verb for each blank and note to use the correct forms of the verbs．

In some cases, you may need to use an other form of the word, for example adjusting for tense, subject or verb agreement． Move around the room as they write, offering help as needed． Try to remember the common mistakes they may make．

After they are finished, ask five different students to read their answers to the class． Correct any mistakes they may have made, especially the verb forms． Encourage the other students to point out their mistakes and help correct them． Point out the common mistakes they may have made at last． After checking the answers together, ask the whole class to check the answers in pairs, exchanging their books and have a careful check． Point out their partner’s mistakes and help correct them．

Let the students read the five sentences loudly several times after making sure they all have got right answers．

Then go on with the second task． Use the first phrase, give away, as an example．

Ask several students to make sentences with it orally．

Such as, Jimmy gives away old bikes．

Then ask the children to make their own sentences with the phrasal verbs given．

Each one writes the sentences on a piece of paper．

Move around the classroom while they are writing, checking progress and offering help．

Ask some students to share their sentences to the class by reading their sentences to the class． Correct any mistakes they may have made．

Ask all the children to hand in their papers．

Step Ⅲ Part 2

We’ll have to write an article using the notes in the box． The article will tell what happens to Sally． At first, let’s see the first sample sentence given in the book．

Ask a student to read the sentence． Tell them to note how the writer combined these phrases into one sentence．

Then tell the students to try to say out the next sentence． Let them think for a while first． Then ask several children to say their sentences．

Then go on with the third sentence, then the fourth one． Help the students to think out and say out all the sentences．

After combining the phrases into sentences orally, tell the students to put all the sentences together to write an article by themselves． Tell them to go on writing after the first sample sentence on their books．

Move around the classroom． Note to remember whose articles are very successful and whose have some mistakes．

Then ask some students who have written successfully to read theirs． At last, the teacher reads the sample article in the teacher’s book to the class, showing a picture in which a young woman is singing．

Tell them to exchange their articles with their partners and help each other．

Ask the students to rewrite their articles to make the article perfect after class．

Step Ⅳ Just for Fun!
