Learning activities
Warm up/Activator: (5minutes)
Practice the action words like “clap hands”, “stomp”, “clap shoulder”, “stretch”, “blink” and do the actions, then sing the song “If you feel happy”.
Introduction to Lesson: (3 minutes)
Review the words the students learned in the last few weeks, let students know they are going to learn something in the classroom, describe the things and let students guess what they are.
Guided Practice: (30 minutes)
Teacher will show students pictures one by one to introduce the new vocabulary, after reviewing a few times, teacher will speak one word in Chinese and ask student to find the thing in the classroom, then show all the pictures again to review and give each picture a number, then teacher will speak one or two new words to let students speak out the numbers, then teacher will say the numbers and students need to say the words in Chinese.
Teacher will use a form with the pictures of new words on the top and the Pinyin on the bottom,all are covered by small pieces of paper with Chinese numbers on them, students will choose one number from the top and the other number from the bottom, if the pictures and the Pinyin match, teacher can peel the paper off, if not,teacher will cover them again, student who matches the first word can be teacher’s helper to choose another student to try to match the second word, then take turns like this.
Independent Practice: (15 minutes)
Students will work with partners to review the new words and do the worksheet about the classroom to draw the pictures, choose the correct Pinyin and write them down by themselves.

Summarizer/Closure: (3 minutes)
Combine the words they learned before to practice the sentence pattern, for example, students can use different words for the sentence pattern: There is …… in my schoolbag.
Step 4—Reflection
The lesson went very smoothly, the students were very active in the activities, especially when some of them could walk around in the classroom to find the things, and when they did the form to match the pictures and Pinyin.
Through review and the worksheet I could tell most of my students managed the new vocabulary, did pretty well on listeningand speaking. I think I need to pay more attention to their Pinyin when they write some words, some of them made some mistakes even I wrote the Pinyin on the whiteboard, they just need to choose the correct one and write them down. I will emphasize some parts of Pinyin next time and explain them clearly.
