4、to improve on in this lesson? Consider feedback from your previous observed lesson(s)1. To give students more opportunities to practise TL.2. To make better use of the blackboard.3. To have a better control of timing.Assumptions What do your students already know (about the language, an activity, th

5、e topic) that will help them in this lesson?l Students have already practised using object clauses to express statements in reported speech. (using that in object clauses)Class profile and Timetable Fit Information about your class: age, level, number, motivation, etc. and how this lesson fits with

6、previous and future lessonsThis is a grade 8 class which is made up of 40 students whose English levels vary. About 15 of the students perform actively in class activities and are willing to speak confidently in English, while 13 of them are quite shy to express themselves in front of classmates. 2

7、of the students are comparatively weak in English and therefore will need more help from other students and the teacher.Some students have already met with some objective clauses when doing exercises or doing tests. But this is the first time they learn to use whether/if in class. They are not quite

8、 familiar with the TL and therefore will need more time and opportunities to practise using it. Students have already learned the text in U4 which is about a meeting among the school newspaper committee. In the text, one of the editor Pansy asked, Should we call it (= the newspaper) the Mayfield Sun

9、?. If students are required to write a report on the meeting, object clauses with whether or if will be useful.Anticipated Problems and Solutions Very specific problems and solutions related to classroom management. ProblemSolution1.Sts. may have problems with instructions of class activities.T. sho

11、 / reviewing? (Grammar, functions and/or lexis). Give the context, marker sentence, and show how you will highlight features in each area to help learners understand it.What is the context for the new language? (E.g. A dialogue between a teacher and student. The student is asking for advice on how t

12、o best prepare for the English part of Gaokao.)l A meeting report of the school newspaper committee. The secretary is reporting what members of the committee have said at the meeting.What is your Marker sentence (For grammar or functional language)? What are the new lexis (for a vocabulary lesson)?l

13、 Pansy asked whether/if we could call it the Mayfield Sun.MPFAnticipating Problems and SolutionsWhat is the Form and how will you clarify it? Form: l Subjective + Verb (e.g. wonder/ask/not know/be not sure/be not certain) + whether/if + object clause (a statement).How to clarify: l When we use a Yes

14、/No question as an object clause, we change it into a statement.l We must use the proper tense in the object clause according to the main sentence.What problems do you think students will have with the form? 1. Students may say object clauses in a wrong word order.2. Students may be confused by the

15、tense using in object clauses.Solutions:1. T. can give sts. opportunities to reformulate their language or use fingers to give sts. error-correction.2. In controlled practice, T. can elicit sts self-correction or ask other sts. to correct their classmates. In freer practice, T. can monitor sts. and

16、take notes of their errors, and then give sts. a delayed error-correction as feedback after sts. finish the activity.What is the Meaning/Use and how will you clarify it?Meaning/Use:l We can use if or whether to introduce an object clause when it expresses a yes/no question.How to clarifyl T. uses ex

17、amples on PPT, works through examples together with students and uses CCQs.What problems do you think students will have with the meaning/use? (None)Solutions:(None)What phonological features will you highlight?l transportl gravity l settler(s)l competition - competitor (Oxford Eng. P60/Ex.A1)What p

18、roblems do you think students will have with pronunciation? 1. Maybe students will have difficulty in pronouncing competition and competitor because they will be puzzled by stress.2. Students are not familiar with the words in the practice. (transport, gravity, settler)Solutions:1. Modelling and dri

19、lling2. T. can give sts. reformulation, using intonation.3. T. can arouse sts. attention by using fingers to show stress.Procedure section Please include all stages, and enough detail for the reader to understand exactly what the teacher and students doStage/ActivityObjectivePurpose(s) of stageInter
