Step I Lead-in

Show some pictures of fairy tales, introduce the story briefly, and explain some new words.

T: Do you like to read fairy stories? (Explain “fairy story”, in Chinese if necessary.) A fairy tale is a story written for, or told to, children. The story often includes elements of magic. Now look at the following pictures? Can you tell me the name of the stories?

Show the following.

S: Snow White.

T: What is the story about?

S: A little princess was saved from the evil deeds of her step-mother, the queen, by a group of seven dwarfs.

T: Good. How about picture 2?

S: Cinderrela.

T: Do you know the story?

S: It’s about a beautiful girl. At first, Cinderella is living happily with her mother and father until her mother dies. Cinderella's father remarries a cold, cruel woman. The woman has two daughters. When the father dies, Cinderella's stepmother turns her into a servant in her own house.

T: Well done. Do you know anything about picture 3?

S: Aladdin and the wonderful lamp.

…

Time permits, talk about more fairy tales.

T: Do you know the name of the story?

Show the following picture.

S: Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland

T: Good. It’s a famous English story. Today we’ll start with this fairy tale.

Step II Listening

Read through the list of characters with the students. Explain ‘hatter”, then play the tape and ask the students to listen and focus.

T: We are going to listen to a short introduction of the story, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Before listening, let’s read through the list of the characters first. … Pay attention to “hatter” please. We know the word “hat”. A hatter is someone who makes hats.

…

Play the tape and ask students to number the characters in the story in the order. Call back the answers from the whole class.

Step III Vocabulary

Do activity 4. Ask students to group the words first in order to make them remember all the words easily and then go on with activity 5.

T: There are some words in the box of activity 4. Please read these words first and then try to find out the words for “animals”.

S: Cat, mouse, rabbit.

T: Find out two words mean “important people”.

S: King and queen

T: The places outside home.

S: Garden, grass.

Ask them to read through the words chorally.

…

For activity 5, tell them to guess the words and complete the sentences. Check the answers by asking some students to read the sentences.

Step IV Reading and grammar

Ask students to read the conversation individually and find out the sentences with the form of “v-ing”.

Write the sentences on the board:

I’m reading.

She was sitting by the river.

She was not reading.

The queen was playing in the garden

What were they doing?

Point out the structure:

T: “Was/were doing” is used to describe past on-goings. Now read aloud the following sentences.

Show the following.

I didn’t hear the phone. My father was watching TV then.

I was reading a book at that time.

Explain the difference between the past simple tense and past continuous.

Show the following.

I wrote a letter yesterday morning. (The letter is finished)

I was writing a letter yesterday morning. (We don’t know if the letter is finished or not.)

I saw a very good film last night. (It happened in the past)

I was reading a book this time yesterday. (It was going on during the past time)

Listening

Ask students to listen to the recording of the conversation and do activity 3.

Check their answer. Call their names from the whole class in order.

Step V Pronunciation and speaking

First ask students to read through the sentences in activity 6. Play the tape and have them follow. Then play the tape again, pausing to let the students repeat chorally and individually.

After this, ask them to do activity 7, write notes on a piece of paper and then have conversations with their partners, ask and say what they were doing at these times.

Sample answers:

S: What were you doing at 7 am yesterday?

S: I was going to school.

S: What were you doing at 1 pm?

S: I was helping my mother to do some washing.

9. 电子音乐

电子音乐，指运用电子方法产生和修饰的音乐。对于管弦乐队的传统乐器有限音色的不满足是产生电子音乐的最初动力。作曲家可以十分方便地控制音响的音高、时值、力度和音色等各种因素，这样就使现场演奏电子音乐作品成为可能。新一代电子音乐家不仅用计算机控制电子音响合成器，完成音乐作品，还用计算机进行音乐风格分析、辅助音乐教学，甚至自动作曲。

8. 摇滚

摇滚乐是黑人节奏布鲁斯和白人乡村音乐相融合的一种音乐形式，它是以吉它、贝司、鼓为主，加上大功效的音响和诸多效果器来表现音乐的形式；它分为布鲁斯(Blues)、摇滚(Rock and Roll)、重金属(Heavy Metal)、朋克(Punk)、放克(Funk)、雷鬼(Reggae)、说唱乐(Rap)等等。 摇滚通过音乐来反大众化的东西。
