Periods 8 – 9 ProjectStarting a new school clubI. Analysis of teaching materialThe topic of this unit is “Starting a new school club”. This period is about the project of this unit. This period contains two articleswritten by two students, which will give the students some ideas of what school clubs are like. Besides these two articles, it also has a project, which is to work in groups and design a poster advertising a new school club. This part gives out the concept of “4P”method, that is, to plan, to prepare, to produce and to present. This is the first time for the Ss to get to know the idea of “4P” method. We should explain it to them. And it will take the Ss a lot of time to get ready for the project. So we had better tell the Ss to collect some information and do sth for it in advance.First the teacher can divide the Ss into different groups so that group work can be carried out. In doing group work, the students will get some idea of team spirit. They are supposed to learn to cooperate with their group members so that they will be able to work with their colleagues in the future.After the step, the students will collect enough information about school clubs, therefore, we will be able to guide them to finish completing the poster following the “4P” method.II.

And they were asked to write a notice based on the given information. Now, it is time for them to exchange their writings. The teacher can ask some to read or to write on the Bb to find out how well they have mastered. If there are some mistakes, the teacher should be careful enough to correct their mistakes without hurting their learning interest..One sample version:STUDENTS NOTICESpeech Contest CancelledDear students,As the school sports meeting will be held soon, the planned Speech Contest on 8th Dec will be put off till 12th Dec.The School OfficeStep 2 Lead-inWith the revision of what they have learned before, the teacher can guide the topic to the one they will discuss this period.In the last period, we learned a lot about school activities. We know after-school activities are important to personal development. Having proper after-school activities can even help you go to a good university. Today, we will learn something more about after-school activities and how to start a new school club.Step 3 ReadingRead the passage and try to get the idea what a school club is. (A school club is an organization for Ss who share a particular interest or enjoy similar activities, or a group of students who meet together to do something they are interested in.)To achieve this purpose, ask the students to read the two short passages on page 18.1.Ask the Ss to go through the passages and then do some true or false exercises.1)The radio station is run by the principal. F students2)The radio station started 2 years ago when CD players were allowed in school. F were not3)Members of Poets of the Next Generation meet up on the last Friday of very month. T4)Everyone was nice friendly in the group. They liked the first poem Bob read to them. T2.Go through the passages again and answer the following questions.1)What do the student members in the radio station do during exam time?2)What do they do when parents come to visit the school?3)Who started “Poets of the Next Generation”?4)What do the members of the group do when they meet?3.After the students have got a general idea of what a school club is, ask them to decide whatmakes a school club. To know it, the teacher can ask the students to find out the following facts of a school club.What (the name of the club):Who (Who is it that started it):When (when was it started):Why (the reason why it was started):What (activities students do):The teacher can give the students several minutes to get ready for it. Then ask one of the group members to present their answers. Sample answers:The first clubWhat: A radio clubWho: Kate Jones, the writerWhen: Two years agoWhy: CD players were not allowed in the school.Things they do:1) Every morning: tell the Ss about the weather and recent news, plus some special messages the teacher want to broadcast.2) During school exams: special programs telling Ss the things they should do or shouldn’t do for preparation.3) At the end of the school year: graduation students use the club to give messages to their close friends and teachers.4) When parents come to visit and talk to the teachers: play songs sung by students, give special messages to inform the parents of events.The second club:What: Poets of the Next GenerationWho: our English teacher Mr OwenWhen: doesn’t tell but we know the members meet on the last Fri. of every monthWhy: they all over poetryThings they do: talk about poems and poets. First, select or write poems, then read them out loud. And listen to each other talking about poems.4.Now the Ss have got a good idea of what the passages are about and one of the best way to learn English is to read and recite, so ask the Ss to finish the summary of the passage and try to learn something by heart.The radio station in our school is ____ by the student.
