Distinguished judges and teachers:
Hello, everyone. I'm a junior high school English teacher, candidate x, and the topic I'm trying to talk about today is Letter. Now let me begin my trial lecture.
Step 1: Lead in
T: Good morning, class. Welcome to the English world. How are you today?
S1: Fine, thanks.
S2: Just so so.
T: Well, Today our friend Lina is going to share her weekend with us.
S: all right.
T: Lina's friend Sonia wrote her a letter this morning and told her something terrible. What happened? Let's have a look.
Step 2: Pre-reading
T: Now, let's read the letter and answer the question: Why did Sonia write the letter to Henry? You can guess the letter content according to the first two sentences of the letter. 2 minutes for you. Go.
T: Do you have any ideas? Who want to share your views with us? You, please.
T: Great! She wants to apologize to Henry. Because she is so busy that she can't visit him this week. What is she going to do this week? Let's continue to read the letter. Before that, there are some new words in this passage which may block your understanding. Look at the words on the PPT.
T: The first new word is dentist. Dentist means that a person who is qualified to treat diseases and other conditions that affect the teeth and gums, specially those who repair, extract, and insert artificial teeth.
T: The second new word is chemistry. Chemistry means that the branch of science concerned with the substances of which matter is composed, the investigation of their properties and reactions, and the use of such reactions to form new substances.
Step 3: While-reading
T: Now the obstacles have been cleared. Read it again and answer the question: What is she going to do this week? There are some activities on the blackboard. After reading, please do the matching. 5 minutes for you.
T: Have you finished? Who wants to share your answers? Lisa, please come to here and match it.
T: What about her answer? Do you agree with her.
T: Yes, she is right. I believe that she has previewed it in advance. Let's clap for her.
Step 4: Post-reading
T: Now, you have improved your reading ability. Let's practice your listening and speaking ability. I will play the tape for you, and you will read after it. While listening, you should pay attention to the pronunciation and intonation. Clear?
T: Stop here. We have known more about the letter. Who can retell the content of the letter? David, please.
T: Wonderful. You did a good job.
T: Boys and girls, if you were Henry, would you go to the movies with Sonia? Why or why not?
S: No, because it's not very nice. It's his friend.
S1: Yes, so you can meet new people and have new friends.
T: What you said is very good.
Step 5: Summary
T: Time always flies in class. We learned how to write letters and new words today. Meanwhile, We should keep our promise. If we promise someone what they want to do but don't do it, we should apologize in a timely manner.
Step 6: Homework
T: Write a letter by yourself after class. Invite your friends to play your roles. Class is over. Bye!
