Lesson 15
Step 1 Revision
1 Check the homework.
2 Get the Ss to retell the story on SB page 14. （One student can retell part of it. Not the whole story！）。 You can ask the questions in Wb Lesson 14， Ex. 1 to guide the Ss.
3 Revise the Past Continuous Tense by performing actions （and getting Ss to perform actions） and asking What am I doing？ What is he/she doing？ What are they doing？
Step 2 Presentation
Draw this time table on the Bb as a model：
Yesterday： Li Lei
9：30→→→10：30→→→noon
reading playing
football
12：00→→→1：30→→→4：30
having shopping
a rest with Jim
Tell the Ss that noon means 12：00 midday.
Present this dialogue：
A： What was Li Lei doing at ten o'clock yesterday morning？
B： He was reading.
Get the Ss to practise the dialogue. Then ask What was he doing at eleven o'clock yesterday morning/at one o'clock yesterday afternoon？ etc. Ss can ask and answer in pairs.
Repeat for Han Meimei：
Yesterday： Han Meimei
9：30→→→10：30→→→noon
writing listening
a letter to the ridio
12：00→→→1：30→→→4：30
having visiting
a rest Lucy
Ss can ask and answer in pairs： What was Han Meimei doing at ten o'clock yesterday morning？ She was writing a letter.
Step 3 Practice
SB page 15， Part 1. Ss ask and answer using phrases from the boxes.
Then get the Ss to draw a time line showing what they were doing at a certain period of time last Sunday （or any recent holiday）。 They can then ask and answer about what they were really doing.were doing at a certain period of time last Sunday （or any recent holiday）。 They can then ask and answer about what they were really doing.
Step 4 Practice
SB page 15， Part 2. Ask the Ss to read the sentences beginning with Last Sunday…Ask What did the man upstairs hear？ Clarify the meaning of the sound of children playing： note the use and position of the participle -ing form. Here it acts as an adjective modifying children.
Remind the Ss to use the Past Continuous Tense as this took place last Sunday when the man upstairs looked out of his window.
Wb Lesson 15， Ex. 1. Do the first question with the Ss as an example， orally， then get the Ss to ask and answer in pairs， noting their answers in the workbook. Finally， collect their answers orally.
Step 5 Workbook
Wb Ex. 2. Do the first line with the Ss as an example （were， at ）。 then let them work alone filling in the blanks. Check the answers with the whole class and let the Ss practise the dialogue in pairs.
The answers for Ex. 2 are： were， at， was， was， at， was， course.
Step 6 Revision
Ask a student to clean the Bb. Then ask the Ss What was Li Lei doing at ten o'clock yesterday morning？ etc. Repeat for Han Meimei.
Get the Ss to ask and answer， as a kind of memory game！
