3. Do some TPR, for example: Show me your English book. Show me your crayon.

4. Review the numbers by asking: “How many crayons do you have?”

Purpose: It is important to form a better English learning surrounding for the Ss

by singing and doing some total physical response and at the same time

it provides situations to review learned knowledge for the next step.

Step 2. Presentation

Now I'll mainly talk about this step.

1. Present the pattern: “My schoolbag is heavy.” “What's in it?.”

(1) Show a bag and say: “Look! I have a bag.” Carry it and say: “Oh, it is heavy. My schoolbag is heavy.” Help the Ss understand the meaning with the help of my body language. Then lead the Ss to read the sentence. Make sure they can say it correctly.

(2) T: My schoolbag is heavy.

Open the bag and say: “What's in it? What's in my schoolbag?”

Take out a Chinese book. Then do the action again. Let the Ss read the sentence.

2. Play a guessing game. Divide the whole class into four groups to have a competition.

Let them guess: What's in the bag? How many?

Purpose: To present the key structures one by one is much easier for the Ss to learn

and grasp the meanings. Proper competition can arouse the Ss' interest in

English learning.

3. With the help of the CAI to present the dialogue. Set a situation to help Ss understand:

Two Ss are coming. One girl is carrying a heavy bag on her back. They are talking.

Girl: My schoolbag is heavy.

Boy: What's in it?

Girl: 20 story-books, 32 pencil, 9 rulers, 12 crayons and 30 picture-books. Etc.

Boy: What will you do?

Girl: They are for the poor.

Boy: Great! I'll bring some school things too.

The boy comes back home and puts a lot of things into the bag. Then he goes to

school again and gives them to a teacher. While he is taking them out, he is counting

the numbers of all things. The teacher says: Thank you soooooooo much.

4. Mention that we should take care of the poor.

5. Play the cassette. Let the Ss listen and imitate the dialogue. Pay attention to their

pronunciation and intonation.

Purpose: CAI can provide a real situation for the Ss to understand the dialogue

and the relationships between people better. Tell the Ss we should show

our loveliness to the Ss.

Step 3. Practice

Divide Ss into groups of six children. Each one would finish the printed form by asking and answering: How many storybooks do you have? Find out which group finishes faster.
