Step 1 Lead in

Discuss the questions in “THINK ABOUT IT” with the students:

Look out of the window of your classroom. What can you see?

What can you see out of your bedroom window?

In this part they will have many things to say. Their answers may be different. Gather their answers.

Step 2 Play the audiotape with the following questions:

What do Danny and Jenny see outside?

Can they see a village?

Is there a school outside the train?

Answer the questions and discuss the whole text with the students. Make sure they understand the meaning of the text. Deal with the language points at the same time. The teacher can write the important points on the blackboard or use the slide projector.

Step 3 Listen to the audiotape again and let them read after it.

Step 4 Have them read the text aloud for a few minutes and then let them act out the text in roles.

Step 5 Practice

Divide the class into small groups. Ask them to make up a dialogue that uses loud and quiet. Please read about making up dialogues in “Teaching Techniques.” To make up a dialogue, the students need to think and be creative! Encourage them to use the dialogue in the student book as an example, not as something to memorize.

Step 6 Deal with “LET’S DO IT”

Work with two partners. Write and practice a dialogue. What else do you think Jenny, Danny and Li Ming see? Present your dialogue to your classmates.
