　　Suppose Xiao Gang is absent today. Your teacher wants to know why he is absent, but no one knows the reason exactly. Make up a dialogue between the teacher, you and some of your classmates. Try to use as many modal verbs as possible. Be ready to present your dialogue to the class.

　　This activity is designed not only to help students know how to use modal verbs they have learned but also to make for the development of students' writing and speaking ability. The teacher should make proper remarks after each group present the dialogue.

　　设计方案(二)

　　This is the second teaching period of this unit. To test whether students have grasped the important and difficult language points they learned in the last period, the teacher should first offer them some revision exercises. Then lead in the new lesson.

　　This teaching period mainly deals with the grammar: modal verbs-the use of can, could, may, might, will, would, shall, should, must, can't. Students often feel modal verbs abstract and difficult, so it is necessary to make the lesson interesting and connect it with their daily life in order to make it easy to accept and understand. Firstly, the teacher can ask students to read the reading passage FESTIVALS AND CELEBRATIONS again, tick out the sentences using modal verbs from the reading passage and translate them into Chinese. Secondly, compare and discover the uses of each modal verb by giving a lot of example sentences. Thirdly, do the exercises in Discovering useful structures on Page 5 and more exercises for students to master the related modal verbs. Finally, summarize the use of can, could, may, might, will, would, shall, should, must, can't.

　　At the end of the class, ask students to do the exercises in Using structures on Page 43 and additional exercises for consolidation.
