Lesson Procedures 课程步骤
Warm Up
1. Start to draw a picture of a cow on the
blackboard and ask your children if they
can guess what it is before you finish.
You can ask them to make the noise of
the animal to have some fun! Do the
same with a picture of a hen.
2. Ask the children to tell you words
associated with each animal, and put
these on the board.
For example
cow – milk, cheese, field, grass
hen – egg, feathers, fly, peck
3. Show children the verb flashcards and
elicit the
past tense of each verb.

Presentation
1. Show the children your flashcards and
elicit/tell them the words. Try to make
sure they can pronounce the words well.
Pin up the flashcards around the
classroom.
2. Now explain that you are going to tell the
children a story. Ask them to come and sit
around you so they can hear. Tell them
that every time they hear one of the
words in the story they must point to the
picture.

Tip:
This is always a good way to tell a story
because it focuses their attention on the story,
helps them to follow it, and re-enforces the key
vocabulary from the story.
3. Now read the story slowly, with actions
and different voices if you can. Make sure
the children keep silent while you read.

1. Divide the children into small groups and
give each group a set of small pictures
from the story (Cut up the pictures
worksheet).
2. Ask children to arrange the pictures in the
correct order, and then practice telling the
story to each other. Each child can take a
turn speaking about one picture. Go
round and listen. Are they using the past
tense?

Tip:
正教师在讲述时犯
的错误
The children will probably make mistakes with
the past tense, or forget it altogether. This is
natural, because they are more focused on
fluency than accuracy. You can correct them
after the activity if you note down their
mistakes while you are listening.
3. Bring the class around you again. Tell
them that you are going to read them the
story again but you will make some
mistakes (in content not grammar).
Students must shout stop and tell you the
Wrap Up
To finish the lesson with some fun you can

focusing on the correct pronunciation of
vowel sounds;

Ideas for Homework – Out of Class Activities
o You could give your children the gap-fill worksheet, which will help them to remember the
new vocabulary from the lesson. If you would like more ideas for creating worksheets from
texts, follow this link Fun for Kids.
o You could set them a freer, short writing activity. Ask them to imagine they have a hen which
lays golden eggs. What would they do with the eggs? They can read out their answers in the
next lesson.
