Unit1  Life on Mars

Grammar(Revision)

Teaching objectives:

To use object clauses introduced by “wh-“words

Teaching procedure:

Step 1: Revision

Review object clauses introduced by “if or whether” and “that”.

Explain that these clauses relate to “yes/no” questions.

 Structures: 主语+谓语+宾语从句

①that +主语+谓语+其他

②if/whether+主语+谓语+其他

Step 2: Presentation

Tell students that when object clauses relate to “wh-“questions, we should use “wh-“words to introduce object clauses. Ask students to read  the grammar rules and the two examples at the top.

Step 3: Presentation

 Remind them that the clauses should be introduced by “wh-“words and the word order in the clause should be the same as in the statements.

     e.g: The robot no longer knew.

When should it cook breakfast.

→The robot no longer knew when it should cook breakfast.

Step 4: Write

Write the following sentences on the blackboard and encourage students to use the following structures:

 ⑴I am not sure…

⑵I’d like to know…

 ⑶I can’t imagine…

⑷Can you tell me…?

①  where is Zhongshan Park?

② How did you go to school?

③ What will you do next Sunday?

④When was the parcel delivered?

⑤Who called in the morning?
