Lesson Plan

• Identify and pronounce at least twelve leisure‑activity vocabulary items (sports, arts, media, travel).
• Use the verbs 喜欢, 常常, 会, 想, 打算 in simple sentences to describe personal leisure plans.
• Ask and answer questions about classmates’ hobbies using the provided sentence frames.
• Produce a short spoken dialogue or written paragraph describing one’s weekend leisure activities.

• Projector and screen for vocabulary slides.
• Printed vocabulary cards (Chinese, pinyin, English).
• Handout with sentence patterns and dialogue template.
• Audio recordings of native speakers.
• Whiteboard and markers.
• Exit‑ticket slips.

Begin with a quick “What do you do after school?” poll to activate prior knowledge of hobbies. Show a short video clip of Chinese teenagers talking about their free‑time activities to spark interest. Explain that by the end of the lesson students will be able to describe their own leisure plans clearly and ask peers about theirs.

1. Warm‑up / Do‑Now (5'): Students write three hobbies they enjoy in Chinese on mini‑whiteboards and share.
2. Vocabulary Input (10'): Teacher projects the word list, models pronunciation, and students match cards to meanings.
3. Sentence Pattern Practice (10'): Choral repetition of the five verbs, followed by a fill‑in‑the‑blank worksheet.
4. Role‑Play (15'): Pairs use the provided dialogue frames to interview each other about hobbies; teacher circulates for feedback.
5. Survey & Reporting (10'): Class completes a quick questionnaire on peers’ hobbies; groups create a brief oral report using the new verbs.
6. Consolidation Game – Leisure Bingo (5'): Students mark squares when they hear a classmate use a target verb + activity.
7. Exit Ticket (5'): Write one sentence about what you plan to do this weekend, using at least one of the target verbs.

Review the key verbs and ask a few volunteers to share their exit‑ticket sentences. Emphasize that using the correct verb shows precise meaning about frequency or intention. Assign homework: write a short paragraph (5‑6 sentences) describing a weekend plan, incorporating at least three of the new verbs.
