First, let the students see a short video about rainstorm. After they see it, the teacher can ask: What did you see in this video? This step can efficiently attract students’ attention by using a video as the beginning of a class.Step 2 Introduction and expansion of new words Just now, we saw rainstorm. Now let’s see the structure of the word. It is made of two words. One is “rain”, and the other is “storm”. So, can you guess the meaning of “snowstorm” and “sandstorm”. This step, on the one hand, can help students have a good understanding of how to make an English word. On the other hand, it can also help the students grasp one way of guessing the meaning of new words.Step 3 Show the teaching goals. This step can help students have a clear guidance of this class. Besides, the students can also find the important teaching points as soon as possible.Step4 Presentation.Show some pictures to the students and guide them to speak out “Where were they?” and “What were they doing?”. This step can help students learn the structure of “was/were + doing” with the guidance of these pictures.Step 5 Group work. OK. Now let’s see the sentences we just spoke out. Can you guess what kind of grammar it is in English. Yeah, right. It’s Past Progressive Tense. So, what is the meaning of Past Progressive Tense? And what is its structure? Now, talk about them with your partners and later I’ll choose some of you to tell us your talking results. This step mainly let the students teach by themselves and communicate with others to develop their thinking skills. Also, it can pave the way to find the rules.Step 6 Practice (1a, 1b). Well, turn to P33 and now let’s do exercise 1a. This is Mary’s family. Can you tell me “Where were they at the time of the rain storm?”. Let the student do exercise 1a and check their answers.Knowing where they were, you, I believe, are sure to be curious about “What were they doing?”. Now let’s listen to the TV reporter and circle the correct responses. Let the students do exercise 1b and check their answers.Step7 Game time.All right. Let’s see the conversation in 1c. Can you make another conversation according to exercise 1b. After that, you can take turns to say the sentences you made just now, like: Student A: What was Mary doing at the time of the rainstorm? Student B: She was doing her homework. Student B: What was Mary doing at the time of the rainstorm? Student C: She was doing her homework. … … By mechanical training, this step can deepen their memory of the structure of “was/were + doing” and it can also pave a way to the next step.Step8 Consolidation.OK.
