Step 1 Revision
1 Revise the names of the food and tableware in SB Lesson 57.
2 Revise the dialogues from SB Part 3 and Wb Lesson 57, Ex. 3. Choose several groups to share their role-plays.
Step 2 Presentation
Draw this table on the Bb:
Li Lei
Jim
Ann
1 chicken
tomatoes
grapes
2 pork
peas
apples
3 beef
carrots
oranges
Tell the students that this table shows Li Lei's favourite meat, Jim's favourite vegetables and Ann's favourite fruit. Say Li Lei likes pork better. He likes chicken best. Repeat for Jim and Ann. Then get students to listen and repeat the sentences. Ask Which does Ann like better, apples or oranges? Which does she like best? Students work in pairs asking and answering about their favourite foods.
Step 3 Pre-read
SB Page 2, Part 1. In small groups, have students discuss the three questions. Then as a class discuss the questions briefly. If students can't express their ideas in English, they may speak Chinese. Provide them with simple English which they may pick up easily.
Step 4 Reading
Note:薯条 is either called french fries or chips. In America and Canada, they are called french fries. In England they are called chips.
SB Page 2, Part 2, Speech Cassette Lesson 58. Have the students look at the picture. Ask What kind of food do you see? (pizza, hamburger, french fries / chips, Japanese sushi, and Chinese vegetables)What countries do these foods come from? (Italy, America, America, Japan, China)
Ask What's the most popular food in the world? The students scan the passage for the answer (American fast food).
Play the tape as a model for the students to practise reading aloud.
Discuss the passage. Ask Do you like fish /pizza /hamburgers? What's your favourite Chinese food?
Note the meaning of kinds of, seem and even. Explain that on the road here means that one eats the food while in their cars, or while going someplace in the subway or on a bus.
Do Wb Lesson 58, Ex. 1 individually. Then check the answers in pairs.
Step 5 Ask and answer
SB Page 2, Part 3. Ask the students the questions and help them answer / think pork/ rice is very popular in China. Do you agree? Explain to the students the difference between / don't really agree and / really don't agree. I don't really agree means that you just disagree a little bit, but are open to hear the other person's point of view, and that you may change your opinion. However, / really don't agree means that you strongly disagree with the other person and nothing will change your mind.
Get the students to ask each other the questions using different food words.
Step 6 Workbook
Wb Lesson 58, Ex. 2. Have the students talk in pairs about the picture. Then if time permits, have a class discussion about healthy / unhealthy foods.
Homework
