Note: This lesson is chosen from New Standard English. There might be new vocabularies and practical sentence structures in this lesson. The topic is mainly about shopping and use simple past tense to describe things they bought, it should not be new or hard for the 5th graders. We try our best to help the students with different English levels to love English and use English as much as they can in this class. According to the students’ needs, all the teaching activities and procedures might be changed in the classroom teaching.
