三、Homework:1、2

Unit3 Writing home

General Goals for Unit3

In this unit, Li Ming, Jenny and Danny write home in various ways from Beijing. This unit reviews days of the week, months of the year, ordinal numbers and address writing. It teaches students standard letter-writing vocabulary and formats. It encourages students to explore description in English through letter writing.

Specific Goals for Unit 3 Mastery Vocabulary

Students can read, write, Say and aurally understand the following vocabulary:

Nouns(mail context):

Left, right, e-mail, postcard, letter, stamp, envelope, top , bottom, corner, computer

Verb:

Send

Oral Vocabulary

Students can say and aurally understand the following vocabulary:

Directions:

Turn right, turn left, go straight

Common phrases:

How many      do you need?

How much is /are    ?     yuan (each).

I want to      (send/write) a      

(letter/postcard/e-mail)to my      (family member).

Each unit exposes students to more words and phrases than they need to master or use orally. We have included these extra words because they form part of typical English conversation, which, we believe, students should hear. These extra words and phrases also allow the natural curiosity of children to guide some of their language learning.
