Unit 5 Fun Clubs
Section A (1a-1d)
Students are able to master the vocabulary related to different school clubs, such as art club, music club, science club, drama club, chess club, and ping - pong club.
They can use the modal verb “can” to talk about their own and others' abilities, and express their intentions to join certain clubs. For example, “I can draw, so I want to join the art club.”
Students can understand and extract key information from conversations about club - joining.
Vocabulary: Make sure students can remember and correctly use the words of different school clubs.
Grammar: Enable students to master the usage of the modal verb “can” in expressing abilities and making requests related to club - joining.
Listening and Speaking Skills: Through listening practice, students can accurately identify which club each student wants to join and their corresponding abilities. In speaking activities, they can fluently talk about their own club - joining intentions.
1. Warming - up
Greet the students as usual. Then, show some pictures of students in different club activities on the PPT, such as students painting in the art club, playing basketball in the sports club, and doing experiments in the science club.
Ask the students some questions: “What are the students in the pictures doing ” “Do you think these activities are interesting ” “Have you ever participated in any club activities ” Encourage several students to share their experiences briefly. This step aims to arouse students' interest in the topic of clubs and create a relaxed class atmosphere.
2. Presentation
On the PPT, present the new words about different clubs one by one, accompanied by vivid pictures. For example, when showing the picture of an easel and some paintings, introduce “art club”; when presenting a piano, introduce “music club”. At the same time, explain the meaning and pronunciation of each word slowly and clearly, and ask students to repeat after you several times.
After introducing all the club - related words, write them on the blackboard. Then, divide the students into pairs. Give each pair a set of cards with pictures of different club activities on one side and the corresponding club names on the other side. Ask them to match the pictures with the words. Walk around the classroom to offer help if necessary. After a few minutes, invite some pairs to come to the front of the class and show their matching results. This activity helps students strengthen their memory of new words through visual and hands - on methods.
3. Pre - listening
Show the students the six pictures in 1a on Page 52. Point to each picture and ask them some simple questions to review the new words, like “What club is this ” “What can people do in this club ”
Then, tell the students: “Now, we will listen to some conversations. In these conversations, some students are talking about which clubs they want to join. Before listening, look at the pictures carefully and predict which club each student might choose. Discuss with your partner and give your reasons.” Let the students discuss in pairs for about 3 minutes. After that, invite several pairs to share their predictions and reasons with the whole class. This pre - listening activity can activate students' prior knowledge, make them more focused during listening, and also train their predicting and thinking abilities.
4. While - listening
First listening: Play the recording of 1b for the first time. Ask the students to listen carefully and just focus on which club each student wants to join. After listening, ask them to raise their hands to answer the question. Check the answers together and write the correct club names next to each picture on the blackboard.
Second listening: Play the recording of 1c. This time, ask the students to listen carefully and complete the sentences with “can” or “can't”. Walk around the classroom to observe the students' completion situations. After the recording stops, ask several students to read out their completed sentences. Check the answers one by one and explain any misunderstandings. For example, if a student makes a mistake like “I can't singing”, correct it immediately and emphasize the correct form “I can't sing” (the verb after “can” or “can't” should be in its base form). This two - step listening activity helps students gradually extract different types of information from the listening materials and deepens their understanding of the usage of “can” and “can't” in the context of club - joining.
5. Pair Work
Divide the students into pairs. Ask them to role - play a conversation between a club leader and a student who wants to join a club, using the following structures:
Club leader: Hello! What club do you want to join
Student: I want to join... club.
Club leader: Can you...
Student: Yes, I can./No, I can't.
Encourage the students to use the information they learned from the listening materials and the new words they just learned. For example, if a student wants to join the art club, the club leader can ask “Can you draw ”, and the student can answer “Yes, I can. I can draw very well.” Walk around the classroom to monitor the pairs' conversations. Offer help and guidance when students encounter difficulties, such as incorrect grammar usage or vocabulary selection. After about 8 minutes, invite several pairs to come to the front of the class and perform their conversations. Let the other students listen carefully and give a simple evaluation, like which pair performed the most vividly or used the most accurate language. This pair - work activity can help students practice speaking in a real - life - like situation, improve their oral communication skills, and enhance their confidence in using English to express themselves.
6. Summary
Summarize the key points of this class with the students. Review the new words of different clubs, such as art club, music club, etc., and emphasize the usage of the modal verb “can” in expressing abilities and club - joining intentions. Write the key grammar points and words on the blackboard again for students to take notes.
Ask the students if they have any questions or if there is anything they don't understand. Answer their questions patiently. This summary step helps students consolidate the knowledge they learned in this class and clarify any remaining doubts.
7. Homework
Ask the students to write a short passage about the club they want to join. They should include information such as the name of the club, why they want to join it, and what they can do. For example: “I want to join the music club. I like singing very much, and I can sing many English songs. I think joining the music club can help me improve my singing skills and make more friends who have the same interest.”
Tell the students to prepare for the next class, where they will learn more about club - related vocabulary and grammar. This homework assignment can not only help students review and apply the knowledge they learned in class but also train their writing skills.
