《Unit 3 A day out Grammar 1》教案
Teaching Goals
●To learn to use ‘and’, ‘but’ and ‘or’ to join ideas together
We use ‘and ’ to join ideas that are similar.
We use ‘but ’ to join ideas that are different.
We use ‘or ’ to join possibilities and options.
●To tell whether two sentences are similar or different, or they are just offering two possibilities or options
Teaching Procedures
STEP 1 Starting the lesson with a revision
Since there are many sentences with ‘and’ ‘but’ and ‘or’ in Reading, it is very easy for us to start
the lesson with a revision.
The sky was (be) blue and everything was (be) beautiful.
It was (be) a great day but we didn’t enjoy (not enjoy) it at the beginning.
Linda’s mother can look (look) at Linda’s photos on Daniel’s home page or Linda can show (show) her mother her photos when she goes home.
Tell the students that these sentences are two sentences joined together. Ask the students to separate the two sentences and then get them to focus on the verb in each pair. Help them understand what are similar, different or optional ideas. Then get them join the sentences again. (It is necessary to do this because in the process students can feel through separating and understand through doing. Why do we use familiar sentence? Because they can help the students to understand better. )
STEP 2 Keeping talking about the trip to the Park
Show the following sentences and get the students to join them to check if they can tell similar
ideas from different ideas.
