Teaching procedures 1.Lead-in

T: In the last period, we have learnt many kinds of festivals. Some are set in memory of the dead, some are set in honor of some great people and some are set in celebration of harvest. Do you know the festivals set for lovers?

S: Yes. Qiqiaojie in China and Valentine’s Day in western countries.

T: You are familiar with them. Look at the screen. Can you guess who the two lovers are? S: Maybe they’re the weaving girl and the head boy – Niulang and Zhinv. T: You’re right. Do you know something about them? S: …

T: Then do you know something about Valentine’s Day, which are quite popular in China now? S: …

T: (introduce the origin of Valentine’s Day) Today, we are going to learn a love story. 2.While-reading

T: Go through your text quickly and silently. Then finish the true or false exercises. Hu Jin failed to meet Li Fang at 7:00.(T)

If it is raining on Qiqiaojie, it means that Zhinv is weeping and the couple will be able to meet.(F) Because her most lovely daughter got married to a human secretly, the Goddess got very angry. (T)

Li Fang thought he could get married to Hu Jin, just like Niu Lang and Zhi Nu.(T) When Li Fang met Hu Jin, he felt very glad.(The story didn’t tell us.) T: Read the passage again and answer the following questions one by one. Why was the TV story what Li Fang needed?

The TV story was a sad story about lost love---the same situation as Li Fang. Why do people want the weather to be fine on Qiqiao Festival?

People want the weather to be fine so they can meet the one they love. What more do you know about Qiqiao Festival? (Answers will vary)

Hu Jin: Made an appointment with Li Fang—Kept her word but waited in the tea shop—Not turned up in the coffee shop—Waited for him all the time—Met Li Fang with gifts

ENDING?? 3. Post-reading

T: The two love stories happened in two different festivals. What are their similarities and differences? How should we treat Chinese traditional festivals and some western festivals? S: …

T: Nowadays, some people pay more attention to the Valentine’s Day than Qiqiaojie, which was once one of the most popular festivals in ancient China. Anyway, each festival in China has its own tale and meaning. So we should hold on to our own festivals and culture, as well as pass them on from generation to generation. We should never allow some western festivals to take the place of Chinese traditional festivals. Writing

T: Li Fang met Hu Jin after he lost heart and threw away the Valentine’s gifts. To his surprise, Hu Jin kept her word and waited for him in the tea shop all the time! What should he do? What would happen to the two lovers? Please write a different ending to the story of Li Fang, beginning with: As he sadly passed the tea shop on the corner on his way…

T: Before writing, you’d better read the story again and then think of what Hu Jin will say when she finds out later that the flowers and chocolates are gone. Then think of an ending to the story that will solve Li Fang’s problem. Will he be happy or sad? Homework: Finish “Summing up” on P8
