Lesson 46

Step1 Revision

Revise the names of the months. Ask Which is the fifth month? etc. Write the answers in a column on the Bb. Then ask the Ss, or let the mask each other, the questions in SB Lesson 45, Parts 2, 3 and 4.

Revise Wb Lesson 45, Exx. 2 and 4.

Step 2 Presentation

Ask Whats the date today? What was the date yesterday/the day before yesterday/last Friday? etc. Write the dates（e. g. December 1st, 19__）on the Bb. Note that, although the style 1stDecember, 19__is also possible, it is better to teach one style at this stage.

Write the ordinals 1st-12th on the Bb. Practise their pronunciation. Point out that the ending of each number is written down： 1st=firST, 2nd=secoND, etc.

Step 3 Practice

SB page 46, Part1. Play Speech Cassette Lesson46 for the Ss to listen and repeat. Use a calendar to practise the ordinals randomly.

Point out that the year is divided into nineteen +（ninety-four）. （Note that 2000 may be called two thousand or twenty hundred;

2001 may be two thousand and one, twenty hundred and one or twenty oh one, etc. ）

Step 4 Practice

Use a calendar or flash cards, or write on the Bb. Show the Ss a date： e. g. June 22nd, 1994. Say June the twenty-second, nineteen ninety-four. Ss listen and repeat.

Change one element of the date each time and ask Whats the date? Help the Ss to answer. Ask Ss individually.

Help the students to write down todays date in their exercise books.

Step 5 Game

Play the Next Number game, using ordinal numbers. Call out several Ss, e. g： Team 2 or Row 4. Tell them to count like this： first, second, third, fourth, next, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, Next！etc. Anyone who says a wrong number is“out”and has to sit down.

Step 6 Presentation

Ask the Ss What day was it yesterday? What was the date yesterday? Help them to answer using was. Then ask Is it cold today? and was it cold yesterday? Make a comparison, saying Its colder/much colder/not very cold today. Explain the meaning of cold by gestures. Then play Speech Cassette Lesson 46. Get the Ss to listen to the first dialogue in SB page 46, Part 2, and to repeat after the recording.

Ask the Ss When do you usually have your class meeting? If the answer is on Saturday morning, ask Did you have a meeting last Saturday? Yes, you did. You had a meeting last Saturday. That is____ days ago. Point out that, when we talk about a past activity, we have to change the verb form： have→had, do→did, is/am→was, are→were. Then play the tape and let the Ss listen to the second dialogue in SB page 46, Part 2, and repeat after the recording.

Step 7 Practice

SB page 46, Part 2. Read through and practise the dialogues with the Ss. Get the Ss to give the simple past forms of is, have, do and go. Then Ss practise in pairs. See if they can make up some new dialogues.

Step 8 Workbook

Wb Lesson 46, Exx. 1—3.

Ex. 1 should be done orally with the whole class. Ss do Exx. 2 and 3 orally in pairs. For Ex. 3, get some pairs to act out their own dialogues if time permits.

Note： From now on, all the students must always write the date in their exercise books for each piece of work. Some of them may need help in doing this.
