Students will be able to master the new words:
Sam, Daming, hello, goodbye, hi, bye-bye
Students will be able to understand and use the key sentence patterns:
“Hello, I’m ...”
“Goodbye, ...!”
TPR (Total Physical Response) Method:
To help students learn words through body movements. For example, when teaching “hello” and “goodbye”, the teacher can wave and ask students to follow.
Situational Teaching Method:
Create real-life situations, like meeting new friends or saying goodbye, to make students feel the practical use of English.
Group-work Method:
Let students work in groups to practice speaking English, which can improve their cooperation ability.
Greet students as usual:
“Good morning/afternoon, boys and girls!”
Sing an English song related to greetings, such as “Hello Song”.
While singing, the teacher can lead students to do some simple actions, like waving hands for “hello” and “goodbye”.
Word Presentation
Show a puppet of Sam.
Ask students “Who’s this?” and then answer “This is Sam.”
Repeat several times, and write “Sam” on the blackboard. Teach students to read the word, using the phonetic symbols if necessary. Then use TPR method, for example, wave and say “Hello, Sam!” loudly.
In the same way, present other new words like “Daming”, “hello”, “goodbye”, “hi”, and “bye-bye” by showing flashcards or puppets.
Sentence Pattern Presentation
Individual Practice
Group Practice
Divide students into groups of four. Each group gets a set of flashcards with Sam and Daming.
One student in the group picks up a flashcard, says “Hello, I’m ...” or “Goodbye, ...!”, and the other three students respond. Then they take turns.
Do a “Guessing Game”.
One student in the group closes his/her eyes, and the others describe a character (using “Hello, I’m ...”). The student with eyes closed tries to guess who it is.
Multimedia Activity
Play a video on the multimedia. In the video, there are different people greeting each other using “Hello, I’m ...” and “Goodbye, ...!”.
Pause the video at some points and let students repeat the sentences.
Then show some pictures of greeting scenes on the screen, and students should write down the sentences on their exercise books.

After the class, reflect on whether the teaching aims are achieved, which teaching methods work well and which need improvement. Consider students' participation and understanding during the class, and think about how to adjust the teaching plan in future classes. For example:
