Step 7:Ask the students to work in groups .Predict their future . Use the sentences like :I want to ---I hope to ---I hope that I will .

Step 8:Begin unit project  1. Make sure the students fully understand what the project requires them to do .

Divide the class into small groups . Each group then chooses a partner group . Students in each group make predictions for the future about students in the partner group . They should make one prediction for every person in the partner group . Ask students to refer to Lesson 33 in this unit for proper wording . They should also be encouraged to experiment with the language by writing in their own ways . Instruct each group to write a list of their predictions .

Ask the class to break into its groups . Each group exchange its list of predictions with its partner group . Every group should now have a list of predictions from another group . One student from each group can read the predictions aloud , or students can take turns reading predictions one by one . Every group will then discuss whether they agree with the predictions .

Tour the classroom as the students talk . If many groups are having trouble expressing themselves in English , stop the class and brainstorm useful vocabulary with students . You may wish to make a list on the blackboard . For your reference , here is a list of useful words .

Might ,maybe , hope , want , right , wrong , going to (not going to ), may (may not ),,will would , but , sometimes , usually , surprise

I want to      

I hope to       

I think       /I don’t think    

Give each studenta piece of paper , all of the same size . Have the students draw a picture of themselves in the future –how they think they might look as an adult . Each student will then write a prediction for his or her own future . At the end of this session , collect these papers . Put them into a binder of predictions for the class . Leave this binder of predictions out where students may look through it .

If the project cannot be finished in one lesson , it can last for two or three lessons .

Lesson 35

 Step 1:Great your students ,Help the students respond in an appropriate way .

Ask ,’Who’s on duty ?’ Listen to the students’s report . Make sure the next student for “Who’s on duty ?”knows who he or she is for next time .

If you have time , you might ask the class to try the following tongue twister :A big black bug bit a big black bear , made the big black bear bleed blood . (To save time , it is advisable for you to write it on a large sheet of paper and bring it to the class .)

Step 2:Give your classmates or friends some advice by saying imperative sentences .

Step 3:Come to Project 2.What’s your advice ?Let’s make an advice diamond . Explain that advice diamonds are popular in North America . Students there enjoy playing with them .Use a big piece of paper , so that all the students can see what you are doing . Help the students to write the advice down .

Begin unit project 2 . Instruct the students how to make an “advice diamond ”.Refer to the illustrated instructions on the next two pages 。

Step 5:Teach the first verse of the song , line by line . After the students know the first verse , they should be able to follow along with the other verses.

Step 6:Practise the song a few times , with and without the audiotape .

Lesson 38

Step 5:Let the students read the passage a second time Then have a further discussion .

Lesson 39

Step 1 :Play the audiotape and ask the students to listen and answer questions :

Do you know the word “famous”?

Do you want to be famous ?

Step 2:Ask the students for questions . Encourage other students to try to answer . This is good reading to point out that some English verbs follow some special grammar rules . For example , you can say :

I/You /They want to be      .

I/They hope to be      .

I’m going to be      .

You can also say :

My Mum wants me to be      .

In these cases , before the second (non-predicate)verb used in the sentences is the word to , indicating that the verb that follows is not the main verb . This is a general rule .

But with verbs like let and make , the rule is different .For instance , with these verbs you have to say :

Let’s (Let us ) go to a movie tonight .

She makes us work very hard..

In these sentences , the second verbs ( go , predict and work )do not have the word to before them. Ask the class to make a note of this structure for these verbs.

Step 3:Review “be going to ”and “might”.

Step 4:Have the students read the text and discuss in groups .

Step 5:Come to “Let’s Do It”.
