Teaching Procedures of Period 1:

    Step1.Warming up (15 mins)
Ss know a lot about sports from everyday life and media, so I arrange such a task -discussion(group of 4):

 Q: What do you know about sports?

During this process, if Ss can’t express themselves in English, Chinese is also all right. Besides, it is a

good chance to present new words. If necessary, I will make some complements. At the same time, I will present them as many pictures about sports as possible.
