New lesson

Step 1. No 1 dress, coat, hat

Demonstrate: Take out the examples of clothing. Hold up each item and say the name of it a few times. Make the students understand and repeat after you. Then write the word on the blackboard and read them together.

Step 2. Listening

Play the audiotape as the students follow in their books.

Step3. No. 2 Big or small?

Demonstrate: You may hold up two items of clothing you prepared and say “They are coats. This coat is big and this coat is small.” Repeat “big” and “small” a few times, comparing the two coats. Make sure the students understand the meanings of the two words. Read the phrases of No 1 after you.

Step4. Play the tape of the text as they follow in their books.

Step5. Practice

Ask a student to come to the front of the class and put on an item of clothing you brought. Make dialogues like this:

T: What is this?

S: It is a coat.

T: What colour is it?

S: It’s ________.

T: Is it new or old?

S: It is _______.

T: Is it big or small?

S: It is _______.

T: I like your coat. It is nice.

Then you may ask more pairs to come to make the similar dialogue.

Step 6. No 3.　 Whose _____ is this?

Demonstrate: Take a pen from student1 and take it to front of the class. You pretend not to know whose pen it is and ask student 2 , “Is this your pen?”. He or she says “No.” Then you turn to student3 and ask “ Is this your pen?” “No.”. You say “Whose pen is this?”. Turn to student1 and ask “Is this your pen?”, he or she answers, “Yes, it is my pen.” Then you introduce the drill: Whose ______ is this? Make them understand it. Then you take another item from student4 and ask, “ Whose _____ is this?” “Is this your ____?” Lead them to answer it. Repeat the action if possible.

Step 7. Come to the dialogue in No 3. Look through the dialogue together. Make sure they understand its meaning.
