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.
Watch → Pause → Predict → Reveal. Students earn points for evidence-based predictions.
Each student produces something before leaving: a sentence, answer, mini-story, explanation, role-play, or spoken response. Keep it quick and visible.

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。
Chinese schooling rewards catching every character; English listening punishes it. Missing a word and stopping to worry about it costs you the next ten. Native speakers miss words constantly and never notice. Say that out loud — it releases students more than any technique.
中文的學習訓練獎勵「每個字都抓到」，英文聽力卻會處罰這個習慣。漏掉一個字就停下來擔心，代價是後面十個字。母語者也一直在漏字，只是沒發現。把這句話講出來——它比任何技巧都更能解放學生。
Dom's activity, with scoring that rewards the right thing. A correct guess is worth one point; a guess backed by evidence from the video is worth three — even if it turns out wrong. That scoring changes what students pay attention to.
Dom 的活動，配上獎勵正確東西的計分。猜對得一分；能說出影片裡的證據得三分——就算猜錯也一樣。這個計分方式會改變學生注意的東西。
Prediction needs hedging language, and Chinese hedges with 應該吧 / 可能 without grading the probability much. English grades it finely, and getting the level right is what makes a guess sound intelligent.
預測需要保留語氣，而中文的「應該吧」「可能」不太分程度。英文分得很細，用對程度，猜測才會聽起來聰明。
Dom's homework asks for two predictions. Write the first here, and it must contain the word 'because'.
Dom 的作業要兩個預測，第一個在這裡寫。句子裡一定要有 because。
Prep · 備課
No preparation needed. Last week explained why listening is hard; this week gives the strategy. Students raised on 每個字都要懂 try to catch every word and freeze at the first one they miss. Teach them to keep going — meaning arrives late, and it arrives anyway.
不必備課。上週解釋了聽力為什麼難，這週給策略。從小被訓練「每個字都要懂」的學生會想抓住每一個字，漏掉一個就當機。要教他們繼續往前——意思會晚一點到，但它會到。

Next-week routine下週例行
Next Saturday: review this homework first, then move into Week 36.
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.
