nbsp; What do you think make a good football player?
Step 3 Read
SB Page 77, Part 2, Speech Cassette Lesson 62. Have the students read through the passage carefully. Then ask What was the ending score of the game? Why do you think the girls won? Let the students give their opinions. Teach the new words train, training, captain, deserve, confident, striker, midfield, midfield player, excellent, shot and nervous. Explain some of the new words using simple English as follows:
Training in this passage refers to training for a competition. While in training, one exercises a lot and may eat certain foods to help them compete better.
The word captain in this passage refers to the captain of the team=the leader of the team. A striker is a player in football whose main job is to kick a goal.
Midfield is the central area of a sports field. Then play the tape for the students to listen and repeat.
Do Wb Lesson 62, Ex. 1 orally as a class.
Step 4 Work book

Step 1, Revision
① Revise Lesson 65 , Let the Ss read and act.
② Check the homework exercises.
Step 2: Pre-reading
Step 3 Reading
SB Page 82, Part 2, Speech Cassette Lesson 66. Ask What else besides the necklace is missing? Have the students quickly scan the play for the answer( Polly the parrot). Then play the tape while the students read along. Get the students to guess the meaning of the new words rob, detective, inspector, thief and notice. Explain some of the words like the following:
Rob=steal;
thief=a person who steals;
detective=a person, especially a police officer whose job is to discover robbers and other criminals;
inspector=a police officer.
Have the students look at Wb Lesson 66, Ex. 1 and answer the questions in pairs. Check the answers with the class. In small groups of four, have the students practice reading the play. Encourage them to use their voices to show worry, excitement and contemplation.

9. Project findings
A: advantages
The Project has been Lasted four weeks. The writing ability of students has been improved more or less. At first the students have remembered more words. The second, most of the students can write in English. The third, the students have good habit-think in Chinese first and then write in English. The fourth, the students’ ability of organizing a whole composition has been improved.
B: Short comings
This project has its advantages, mean while has its shortcomings. At first, I haven’t made the best use of the relationship among the four skills-Listening, speaking, reading and writing. The second, I haven’t taught the students how to write a good composition. The third, I gave them few chances to practice.

Appendix 3 Diaries

The first class was English. I asked my students to write a composition. Its name was “My teacher”. Most of the students didn’t write well. There were many mistakes in the composition. Several Students wrote better Then I told them how to write it and what to write. They were very thankful to me.
Date: Tuesday April 12 sunny
After we learned unit 15, I told my students to rewrite the article: A doctor for animals. Some of the students did better in the composition. I praised them. They were pleased with their composition. But some of them didn’t do well. There were quite a lot of mistakes in the words and grammars. I helped them correct their mistakes.
Date : Friday April 22 cloudy
Yesterday we learned “the football match”. Today I asked my students to retell the story and then write it. The girls did better than the boys. Halt of the students told the story in English. They thought that the boys deserved to lost because they were too confident. The football match was wonderful. The students’ stories were very nice. I spoke highly of my students.
Date: Thursday April 28 Sunny
The third class was English. I asked my students to write a letter to their father or mother. Most of them wrote well. They thanked their parent for his(her) working hard. They promised to study hard at their lessons and told their parents not to worry about them. They could take good care of themselves. I praised my students. I hoped that they would make more progresses in the future.

A letter to my mother
Dear mother,
Today our English teacher asked us to write a letter to you. You are working hard for me. You must look after yourself. Now the weather is getting hotter and hotter. You should have a good rest. Don’t be too tired and keep healthy.
Now I am studying hard at my Lessons. My teachers are very strict with me. They are friendly to me and often help me with my lessons. I will graduate from Junior school. I’m sure that I can get into serious school. Don’t worry about me. I can do well in everything.
Your love
