Period 2: A sample lesson plan for Learning about Language (The –ing form as the Subject Object) Aims To learn about the –ing form as the Subject Object To discover and learn to use some useful words and expressions To discover and learn to use some useful structures Procedures I. Warming up Warming up by reading the text aloud Language is learned in context. So let’s first review the text learned yesterday by reading it aloud. Try to force out your English slowly and clearly. II. Discovering useful words and expressions In pairs do the exercises 1, 2 and 3 on pages 11 and 12. You are to finish them in 5 minutes. III. Learning about grammar Read and identify Read the text about Yuan Longping again, paying attention to the sentences which use the –ing form as the subject and object. In the sentence “Wishing for things, however, cost nothing.” the –ing form is used as a subject. It can be also used as an object of the sentence. For example: Yuan Longping likes playing his violin. Consolidating by doing exercises To consolidate your understanding you will be given 10 minutes to go over exercises 1,2,3,4 and 5 on pages 12 and 13. You may just write the answer on your text book. I mean the student’s book you are working by. III. Ready used materials for the –ing form as the Subject Object Verbals -Gerund A gerund is a verbal that ends in -ing and functions as a noun. The term verbal indicates that a gerund, like the other two kinds of verbals(Participles, and Infinitives), is based on a verb and therefore expresses action or a state of being. However, since a gerund functions as a noun, it occupies some positions in a sentence that a noun ordinarily would, for example: subject, direct object, subject complement, and object of preposition. A Gerund Phrase is a group of words consisting of a gerund and the modifier(s) and/or (pro)noun(s) or noun phrase(s) that function as the direct object(s), indirect object(s), or complement(s) of the action or state expressed
