Ⅰ. Pre-reading (10’)
1.T introduces herself to Ss by showing what she eats and how she lives. In this short introduction, give Ss six new words and meanings on the blackboard. Lead Ss to read the new words. Ask Ss if they want to know any other’s lifestyle.
2.Show a short video of ballet to give Ss the word “dancer”. Let Ss meet Kitty and tell them something about Kitty, such as her appearance, her likes and dislikes. Then let Ss meet Daniel.Tell them something about Daniel, too.
3.Ask Ss to guess Kitty’s and Daniel’s lifetyles because Ss have known something about them. Give Ss 5 questions and ask them to guess. Ss feel a bit difficult. T can help them by doing the guessing game with Ss and giving some words. The purpose of this game is to interest Ss . They don’t know if their answers are correct or not, so they will be quite interested in the reading to check their answers.
Ⅱ. While-reading (25’)
1.Ask Ss to turn to page 60. First, skim the passage with the question: Who has a healthy lifestyle? After reading quickly, Ss give the answer.
2.Ask Ss to scan Kitty’s lifestyle . Ss should read it silently. In this way, they can think better. After that, do a blank-filling about details of Kitty’s lifestyle. Suggest Ss that they can underline the answers. Show the blank-filling on PPT.
3.Ask Ss to scan Daniel’s lifestyle with questions. After reading carefully, do the ask and answer. One student asks a question and he/she can choose another student to answer the question.
4.Ask Ss to do correction. Tell them the mistakes are not mistakes of grammar. This exercise helps Ss master the reading better. Several more able students can find out all the five mistakes. For weaker students, encourage them and praise them if they can find one.
5.Ask Ss to read the passage aloud . Girls read as Kitty. Boys read as Daniel.
Ⅲ Post-reading (10’)
1.A competition. Give Ss a question: What is a healthy lifestyle? Ask Ss to work in pairs to discuss it. T gives some help if necessary. Divide Ss into three teams. Then start the competition. If a team gives the most ideas, it is the winner.
2.Ask Ss questions about their own lifestyles. What do you have for breakfast? Do you often eat snacks? Do you do any exercise? What kind of exercise do you often do? Etc.
