Step 4 Make a timetable (group work)

At this point, students will work in groups of four or five to help Sun to finish his job. Sun is chairman of students' union. He needs to make a timetable for the activities to be done next week by using what has been learned in Step 2

1. Ask students to read and understand what sun is going to be involved in next week.

2. Get them to work in groups and offer help if they meet with some translation problems.

3. Have students show their final work and make comments on it.

设计说明: 用刚才所学知识，帮助学生会主席孙强制作一张时间表，这是学以致用的关键一步。

Step 5 Hold a competition

Students work in groups to design a programme for targeted participants (students, teachers or parents). The group whose programme will be popular with most of the students is to win the game. ( The teacher also can have a vote here in order to stimulate their enthusiasm for the job.)

1. Work in groups and design a programme

2. Let students present their design and decide which group will be the winner. (While comparing their work, the teacher should make sure they haven't leave out any one of the basic elements in their programmes.)

设计说明: 让学生展开竞赛，以小组为单位，设计一个"programme", 最受欢迎者胜出。教师把参与的人限定为学生、家长和教师，使得学生能把关注的焦点集中在同一点上，不至于设计的范围太漫无边际。这一步，不仅再次温习巩固"programme"的几个基本要素，还锻炼了学生的创新能力和合作精神。
