教学过程

Reading and vocabulary

1. Work in pairs. Talk about the pictures. Use the words and expressions in the box to help you.

* Tell the students to look at the two pictures and think about what they both show. Elicit that in Picture a they are playing a match and the blue team won, and in Picture b they are training.

* Go through the words and expressions in the box with the class. Check if they know the meaning of all the words and expressions. Elicit the meaning or explain by giving examples, (e.g. The blue team beat the red team./The blue team played against the red team./A coach is a sports teacher who helps a team to play better.)

* Tell the students to talk about the pictures in pairs, using the words and expressions in the box.

2. Read the passage and complete the table.

* Tell the students to look at the title of the passage by Darning and ask them what they think the passage is about. Ask them to guess what sport he is training for.

* Elicit some ideas from the class.

* Write some general pre-reading questions on the board for the students to focus on while they are reading.

   1. Why is Darning going to school on Saturday?

   2. How does the team practise this year?

   3. Why is it good to have fans around?

* Ask the students to read the whole passage, check their guesses and answer the questions. Tell them they can work in pairs and check the meaning of any unknown words and expressions (e.g. warm up = practise slowly at first to get your body ready to play) by asking or with a dictionary before reading.

* Elicit answers to the questions from the class.

* Tell the students to look at the table after the passage. Then read the passage again, underline the key information and complete the table.

* Elicit answers around the class or have the students check their answers in pairs.

3. Complete the passage with the words in the box.

* Read the words in the box with the class and check the meaning.

* Ask the students to read the passage first and then complete it on their own.             

* Have the students check their answers with their partners.

* Elicit answers from the whole class by asking the students to read the passage in full sentences. 

4. Put the words in the box into pairs with opposite meanings.

* Read through the words in the box with the class.

* Ask the students to match the opposites in pairs. Tell them to do the ones they think are easy first.

* Write half of the words on the board. Give out chalk to five students and ask them to come up and write one opposite each at the same time.             

* Check the answers with the class.

Writing

5. Complete the sentences so they are true for your school basketball team.

* Ask the students how many of them play in the basketball team or support the basketball team at school and what they know about the team. If they do not play for or support the team, tell them to guess or make up their answers in this activity.

* Tell the students to look at the sentences and guess what types of words are missing in the gaps that they need to complete. Remind them they can go back to the reading passage in Activity 2 for help.

* Tell the students to work in pairs and discuss the rest of the sentences.

* Ask the students to complete the sentences individually.

* Elicit answers in full sentences from the whole class.

Learning to learn

* Ask the students to read through the information and check if they understand the difference between the past tense expressions and the present tense expressions.

* Check if they know which tenses to use with each set of expressions. Tell them to use different tense expressions to make comparisons.

6. Add some more details about your school basketball team. Write a passage.

* Elicit what type of details will help make the passage more interesting (e.g. Saturday morning, not just Saturday).             

* Advise the students to add some descriptions about the weather, the people in the team or their opinions.             

* Tell the students to write their own passage. When they have finished, tell them to swap passages with a partner and get them to check each other's work. Go around the class and monitor, giving help where necessary.

* Ask some volunteers to share their passages with the whole class.
