The lesson, minute by minute · 課堂流程
Review last week's assignment. Ask 2–3 students to share. Correct one common error and celebrate one strong example.
Teach 5–10 target words. Always include: meaning, Chinese equivalent when useful, example, synonym, antonym, and/or word family.
Story Premiere: students read a short original story and classmates award fun categories.
Each student produces something before leaving: a sentence, answer, mini-story, explanation, role-play, or spoken response. Keep it quick and visible.
Teaching pack · 教學包
Activities you can read straight off this page, written to fit the blocks above.
可以直接照著這一頁上的活動,對應上面每一段課堂流程。
Ten minutes on this saves thirty minutes of staring at a blank page. Every line is one sentence. If a student cannot fill line three, they do not have a story yet — they have a situation.
花十分鐘填這張表,可以省下三十分鐘盯著空白頁。每一行寫一句。第三行填不出來的學生,手上還沒有故事,只有一個情境。
Hand this out with the first draft, not before. Every line is something the class has already learned, so the checklist is a review disguised as editing.
這張表要在第一稿寫完之後才發,不要提前。每一行都是全班學過的東西,所以這張檢查表是偽裝成修稿的複習。
Dom asks for a spoken summary as well as the written story. Sixty seconds is about 130 words, which is four sentences — this shape fits every time.
Dom 除了書面故事還要一段口述。六十秒大約 130 字,也就是四句話——這個形狀每次都套得上。
Dom asks classmates to award fun categories, so here are eight. Every story must win exactly one — decide that in advance and nobody sits down empty-handed.
Dom 要同學頒些有趣的獎項,這裡給八個。規定每篇故事都必須得到一個獎——事先講明,就不會有人空手坐下。
Prep · 備課
No preparation needed. This is the writing week, so the list below is not new vocabulary — it is the toolkit from the last five weeks, gathered in one place. Dom asks students to choose eight power words of their own; this is where they choose from.
不必備課。這是寫作週,所以下面不是新單字,是前五週工具的集合。Dom 要學生自選八個 power words,這就是他們挑選的地方。
Optional video / media plug-in影片與媒體(選用)
Optional: music-only cinematic clip to inspire a story.

Next-week routine下週例行
Next Saturday: review this homework first, then move into Week 28.
Teacher principle: Review → Retrieve → Learn → Use → Challenge → Homework. Every week runs on the same routine, so the routine can be predictable and the learning can be creative.
