Get them to act their dialogues out.'Step 7 Consolidation( dialogue Production)Get several pairs of Ss to act out their dialogue about the bird in front of the class.Finish Exx 1 and 3 orally, do Ex 2 as written work.Ex. 1 revises the Object Clause. When transforming the structures, pay attention to the change of the verb tenses, personal pronouns and word order. After doing the exercises orally in class, ask the Ss to do it as written work.Ex. 2 is a revision of the Modal Verbs and some useful expressions. Let the Ss work in pairs and then check the answers with the whole class. Write down the sentences on the Bb for the Ss to see.Ex. 3 lists pairs of words with somewhat similar pronunciation but different meaning. Get the Ss to read aloud the words and say what each of them means.Step 9 HomeworkDo Ex 2 in the exercise books.Teachers should employ proper teaching methods and techniques to satisfy their needs. They are in great need of instructions on how to be successful language learners. Teachers should train them with some effective learning strategies to optimize their learning results.My lesson plan is designed on the basis of these two principles. The questions in my teaching plan are raised for the purpose of arousing the students' interests and aimed to help the students to concentrate on the meaning of the dialogue.As for the language points, they are presented and practiced related to students' life as much as possible. This way of teaching language points is employed in the hope that students will find them easier to understand and retain, and that they can use some of them immediately in their everyday life.Dialogue Production is a solution to the problem of lacking chances to practice English outside class. This activity can train the students with this learning method. The teacher's encouragement and facilitation are necessary to make the students feel the happiness of success, so that they may want to try more either in class or outside class in the future.。
