从容说课
This is the third period of this unit. To test if Ss have understood the phrases and patterns they learned during the second period，the teacher can first give them some revision exercises. “It is ...that” is a very difficult structure，so the teacher can design some exercises for Ss.
Ss have got some idea about the present continuous tense for future use in the first period，to make them more familiar with its function，the teacher can give them more practice，both oral and written. Meanwhile，the teacher will help them go over another two ways of expressing
future actions. These tasks are designed to improve their ability of using language.
To make Ss well prepared for the reading of the fourth period，the teacher can deal with the rest few new words in this class.
As to the homework，the teacher will ask Ss to preview Part 3 on Page 19 after class. Because this work is a bit difficult，tell Ss any group work is welcome.
Since the five-day National holidays are coming. Suppose that one student and his friends will go for a trip. Ask them to go to a nearby travel agency and find a schedule for their trip. Later they are required to talk about what they will do on their travel，using present continuous tense. Through this activity，Ss can get to know what a travel plan is like，and consolidate what they have learned，which is correspondent to the teaching method “Learn through doing”.
