Competition: Before class begins, Ill draw two trees on the tow sides of the blackboard, one tree is for boys, and the other is for girls. During the whole class ,whenever one student can answer a question, he/she can get an “apple” sticky note and stick it on their own tree. Finally, the group with more “apples” will be the winner. . Teaching aids: Some carrots, tomatoes, potatoes and apples; some pictures ; a tape recorder; some “apple” sticky notes”. . Teaching procedures: Step1. Warming up: T: What,s the weather like today?

Then lead them to answer as “Its a carrot.”Write “carrot” on the blackboard and stick a picture with carrots on it beside the word. Teach Ss how to read this word, then show them several carrots and ask: “ what are these?”, lead Ss to answer as “They are carrots”. Then write down the sentence structure on the blackboard and draw Ss attention on the plural form of “carrot” and the pronunciation of “these”. Lead them to read this sentence structure. Second, show them carrots and ask: “ Are they carrots?” lead them to answer as: “Yes, they are.” show them several tomatoes and ask the same question, lead them to answer as “No, they arent.” Write this sentence structure on the blackboard and ask: “ what are these?” Lead them to answer as “They are tomatoes.”teach the new word “tomato” and draw Ss attention to the plural form of “tomato”. Then, teach “potato” in the same way. Finally, play a game called “touch and guess”.
