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.
Final game-show: vocabulary ladder, irregular verbs, mystery picture, synonym/antonym duel, grammar lightning round, and class superlatives.
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。
Dom names six rounds; here is what to actually say in each. Two teams, a scoreboard on the board, and no round longer than seven minutes. Speed is what makes it feel like a celebration rather than a test.
Dom 列了六個回合,這裡寫出每個回合實際要說什麼。兩隊、白板上記分、每回合不超過七分鐘。節奏快,它才像慶祝而不是考試。
In Week 1 this class was asked how big their English was, with no grades and no pressure. Ask the same question now and put the two answers side by side. For most students this is the first time they have seen their own progress as a number.
第 1 週問過這個班「你的英文有多大」,不打分數、沒有壓力。現在再問一次,把兩個答案並排。對多數學生來說,這是他們第一次看見自己的進步變成一個具體的數字。
Dom's summer bridge. One thing a week, twenty words, nothing else. A small mission that gets done beats a big one that does not — and it keeps the year from leaking away over the break.
Dom 設計的暑假銜接。一週一件事、二十個字,不多。做得完的小任務勝過做不完的大任務——也讓這一年不會在暑假漏光。
Forty-six weeks of exit tickets end here. This one is not marked — it is for the student to keep, and it is worth telling them that.
四十六週的出場券到這裡結束。這一張不評分——是留給學生自己的,而且值得告訴他們這件事。
Prep · 備課
No preparation needed — the whole game show is written out below, six rounds ready to run. This is the last page of the year, so keep one thing in reserve: Week 1 asked students to guess how many English words they knew. Ask again at the end. That comparison is the real closing ceremony.
不必備課——整場遊戲節目已經寫在下面,六個回合可以直接跑。這是一年的最後一頁,所以留一手:第 1 週問過學生「你覺得你會幾個英文字」。最後再問一次。那個對照才是真正的結業式。
Optional video / media plug-in影片與媒體(選用)
Optional: highlight reel of favorite class clips or student-created video messages.
Homework回家作業
Summer English Mission: choose one English movie/song/video each week during the break and keep a 20-word Summer English Journal.
CEFR differentiation · 依程度分級
One plan for a mixed class: what each level is asked to produce.
同一份教案帶混合程度的班:各級學生被要求產出的東西。
celebrate core survival English.
show growing range.
demonstrate independence.
precision and flexibility.
sophistication and leadership.
Next-week routine下週例行
Final class complete. Begin summer break / optional Summer English Mission.
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.
