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 Designer Clothes. Now let me begin my trial lecture.
Step 1: Lead in
T: Good morning, class. Welcome to the English world. How are you today?
T: Fine. I am very happy to hear that. Some students say you are just so so.
Step 2: Pre-reading
T: Oh, maybe you are a little tired. It doesn't matter. Let's enjoy a video. This is a creative advertisement for a sports brand. And I hope you can gain more energy from it. (播放阿迪达斯的广告)
T: The video is over. Who can retell the advertising slogan? David, please.
T: You are so active. Yes, the advertising slogan is "impossible is nothing." Now many people treat others by their appearance. But you know, as the slogan says: "impossible is nothing."
T: Now, many people are concerned about their appearance, they often buy "designer" clothes, people also think that brand name clothes are better, they may think that the right running shoes will get you run faster. What do you think? Can you share your own ideas.
T: Then, take your own questions in groups of four.
Step 3: While-reading
T: Speaking of "designer" clothes, Look at the picture on the blackboard, class. Do you know who it is?
T: That's right! He is Karl Lagerfeld.
T: All the students have previewed. Can you guess what we will learn today?
S: It could be advertising.
T: Let's read the text together. Let's check whether our predication are correct or not. Then let's think what the text mainly talks about.
S: About wearing designer clothes.
S: Young people nowadays like to wear famous brands.
T: Students, the answer is not very accurate. Now let's read the text for the second time and answer the following questions:
T: Why do people often buy designer clothes? Will the right running shoes make you run faster or play better?
T: Because they think they look cool.
T: It is the training not the trainers that improves the score.
T: What do the students think?
S: Most clothes show off their personality.
S1: Some people look cool in order to buy expensive clothes.
T: What the students said is very good, so there will be much in advertisement, if cost of comparison and buy brand name is not good.
Step 4: Post-reading
T: Now you have known more about the passage. I will play the tape and you can read after it. While listening, pay attention to the tune. Go.
T: About the "designer" clothes, what do you think about it? What do you want to say? 5 minutes for you. Discuss with your group members. After that, I will invite some students to share your ideas. Clear?
T: Time's up. You did a heated discussion. Who wants to share your views? Lisa, please.
T: You are logical. And anyone else? David, please.
T: You are a intelligent consumer and a considerate child. I totally agree with you.
T: Students, to be honest, although appearance is very important, please forget those famous brand things. What really matters is not whether you wear brand-name shoes or clothes, but whether your clothes are suitable for you. Students, you must wear school uniform on weekdays, which can help you concentrate on your study.
Step 5: Summary
T: Time always flies in class. Today, students learned about Karl Lagerfeld and advertisements.
Step 6: Homework
T: After class, you can search on the Internet to find more trademarks of different brands and share them next class. Class is over!
