Lesson Plan

• Identify and name at least ten body parts in Mandarin.
• Use target sentence patterns to describe personal health conditions.
• Read a short health‑related passage and answer comprehension questions in Chinese.
• Conduct a role‑play conversation about symptoms and advice using the new vocabulary.
• Write a brief personal health plan (≈80 characters) employing the learned structures.

• Projector and screen for slides/diagrams
• Printed vocabulary/phrase handouts
• Blank body‑part labeling worksheets
• Audio recordings of sample dialogues
• Whiteboard and markers
• Exit‑ticket slips

Begin with a quick “body‑part bingo” to activate prior knowledge. Explain that today’s focus is describing our bodies and health in Mandarin. Share the success criteria: students will correctly name body parts, use key sentence patterns, and produce a short health plan.

1. Warm‑up / Do‑now (5’) – Students label a blank human figure with Mandarin body‑part terms.
2. Vocabulary presentation (10’) – Slide of body parts with pinyin and English; choral repetition.
3. Sentence‑pattern practice (10’) – Guided drills for “我有…”, “我的…不舒服”, “我每天…”, etc.
4. Reading comprehension (10’) – Pair reading of a short health passage; answer three comprehension questions.
5. Role‑play activity (15’) – Pairs act out doctor‑patient dialogue, using symptoms and health‑advice language.
6. Writing task (10’) – Students compose a “我的健康计划” paragraph (≈80 characters); peer feedback.
7. Review & exit ticket (5’) – Quick vocabulary quiz; each student writes one personal health tip on a slip.

Summarise the key vocabulary and sentence structures covered. Collect exit tickets to gauge understanding and reinforce one health tip from each student. For homework, ask learners to keep a one‑day health diary in Mandarin, using at least five new words.
