(introduce the word “wish” to the students and make sure they know the meaning of “photo”)

Step 4: Further discussion

Ask about the title of this lesson: Why is the lesson called “Many faces, One picture?”

Step 5: listen and find the answer

Ask the Ss to listen to the tape and find the right answer; the answer is in the text. Check the answer with the Ss:

Answer: Everyone brings a photo of him or her. We put them together and make a big picture of our class. There are many faces of the students in the big picture.

Step 6: Project 1: Make a class picture

Make sure the Ss understand what they must do in the project. Explain what a collage is. (in Chinese if necessary) A collage is a picture made of many little pictures.

T: Draw a picture of yourself if you don’t have a photo. Write down at least three sentences about yourself on a small piece of paper. That’s your name card. Of course, our cards are better.
