Step 3：Practice

Listen．Play the tape twice．Have the students circle the things they hear．

Get the students to act out the conversations in the picture of 1a． Make sure the students understand what they should do．Students can work in pairs then ask them to act out the conversations they made．

Do 2a，2b，2c and 2d one after another．2b：after the students do 2a, show them how to write the letters on the blackboards，both of "Big" and "small"．Make sure all the students know how to write them． Use the flashcards to practise saying the names of the letters and to learn their order．Before doing 2c，ask the students to give the letters containing the／i：／and /e/ sounds．Repeat with the /((/ and／a(／sounds．List them out on the blackboard．Then get them to listen to the tape and read the letters and words after the tape．

Step4：Games time

Play the letter game with the students like the following instructions．Sometimes the teacher can explain the rules of the game in Chinese．

看谁快

这是一个训练学生听字母的游戏，将全班分成两组，一组学生持大写字母，另一生持小写字母，教师快速念字母，要求持有该字母的学生迅速站起来，最先站起来的两分，后站起来的得一分，没站起来的得零分，得分多的组获胜。

Period 2

　　Step 1：Lead-in

Write the names in the big letters on the blackboard，teach the students to read the names．Then get them to listen to the tape and number the names．Have the students pay attention to your writing names on the Bb．Make sure everyone knows how to write the names．

Step 2：Pairwork

Give each student an English name．Make them remember it and know how to spell it. Write your name，and one or two others on the blackboard． Ask students to look at the words carefully．Explain how capitals are used in English names．

Step 3：Pairwork

Ask the students to say out where we can find English words or English names around us and what they are．What's the meaning of it?

Maybe the students can list a 1ot．If they couldn't，give them some notes such as WC, NBA，Exit and so on． Let the students try their best to search as many abbreviations as possible．

step 4：Practice

　　And get them to introduce themselves to the others with their new English name．All these must do after the students know how to do it．The teacher can give them an example with the help of one student．The teacher can take the dialogue on the book for an example．Practise：

A：Hello!
