 Lesson Plan for Mixed

 CLASS ONE :  REVIEW THE VOC AND SENTENCE 

In the previous class, students had already learned the pronunciation and phonics of color and they can use the sentence pattern, "What color is it?" "It's ____."

game: Stroop Effect 

show the word one by one with ppt animation

1. say the word

2. say the color of the word 

3. Chinese version 

  The Stroop effect is a phenomenon that occurs when you must say the color of a word but not the name of the word. For example, blue might be printed in red and you must say the color rather than the word.
