Instructional Design

  1. With PowerPoint, show characters 一二三四五 and ask students to guess what they are. Ask students how they make assumptions.
  2. With PPT or poster, model the pronunciations of the number and promp students to mimic. Exagerate tones with hand gestures.
  3. Distribute worksheet (characters and pictures of blank play cards), read the characters loud and slowly. Ask students to make their own notes about the pronunciations they hear. Ask them to keep their notes for later to compare with pinyin.
  4. With PPT, show characters corresponding with images of play cards, first in order, then randomly. Pair up students and make them race to say the numbers/characters in Chinese.
  5. Show the website of characters by USC, show students how to write the character 一. Make them describe the direction of the stroke on work sheet.
  6. Ask students to predict the stroke order of characters 二，三。 Show them the USC website to compare/confirm their predictions.
  7. Ask students to predict the stroke order of characters 四。 Make them discuss their predictions. Show them the USC website to compare/confirm their predictions. Make them follow the strokes and move their arms. Ask them to describe the rule/principle they see. (such as “build a box, put things in and then close up the opening”.)
  8. Ask students to predict the stroke order of characters 五。 Repeat the process of 四。
  9. Make them summarize the principles of stroke orders they observe.
  10. Making flash cards to play a game: each student gets 5 blank index cards and some crayons. Ask them to write 一二三四五，one character on one card, characters only.
  11. Ask them to listen to teacher who is going to say numbers randomly. Students will show the cards according to what they hear.
  12. Ask the class if they all know the card game "Pulling the Blanket". If not, explain how to play it. Supply instruction with PPT.
  13. 4 to 5 students as a group. Collect all their flash cards as playcards, shaffle well and make a deck. They will play the game of "pulling the blanket". They have to take turn to count number 1-5 in Chinese, one person a number, and pull a card from the deck.
  14. Wrap up: make students reflect on what they do and learn in this lesson, and what they predict to do next lesson.
