2.　　 Key Concepts

Step 1 Presentation

Ask the students some questions :

Have you ever visited Tian’anmen Square? If yes, when? If no, why not?

Do you want to visit Tian’anmen Square? Why or why not?

You may give them some words to help them.

Step 2 Listen, answer and analyze

Listen to the tape with the following questions:

What happens to Danny？

Can Jenny fly a kite?　 Can Danny fly a kite?

Answer the questions together with the students and then discuss the text again. If they have any question, explain to them. Deal with the language points at the same time. Pay attention to the usage of loud and loudly, quiet and quietly.

Step 3 Listen, read and act

Listen to the audiotape again and let the students read after it. Give them a few minutes to practice the text. Correct the pronunciation when necessary. Then have them act out the text in roles.

Step 4 Practice

Divide the class into small groups. Ask each group to make up a dialogue about walking on Tian’anmen Square. Encourage the students to use as much vocabulary as possible from this unit (easy, hard, loudly, quietly, many, men, women, children, people). Encourage the students to be active and praise them for talking risks with English! The more they experiment, the more they learn.

Step 5 Deal with “LET’S DO IT”

Work with a partner. Draw a map of Tian’anmen Square. Describe your maps to each other. What are the people doing? Try to use loudly, quietly, slowly and quickly.
