So today we are going to learn Unit 5 Fun clubs. Project. And lucky for you, your school is going to hold another club fair. And student, President Li Meng, is announcing it. Let's see what she has to say and find out what our project is.

Our school is going to hold a club fair. You can create your own club. Think about it. A sports club, an art club, a book club? You can start your club. Let’s make our school life more colorful together. (创设学校社团招新的真实情境任务)

OK, soaccording to Li Meng, what is our project today?OK, you please. Excellent. So today we're going to…?Start our own club. 

Now let's brainstorm.What can we do to start a club?Are there any steps? Do you have any idea? What can we do?What can we do if we want to start a club?OK, how about you? I think we need to make a poster. Yes, we need to make a poster, right? OK, that's very important. Any other ideas? OK, you, please. I think we need to find some members. Very good. Because many hands make light work, right? And what else can we do?OK, you please. OK, excellent. We can have an interview, right? (在老师的点拨下，初步分解项目步骤)

And there may be other steps. And I prepared some step cards for you. Please discuss in your group and put the steps in the right order. Are you clear? OK, go.

All right. It's not that hard, right? I can see that most of you have finished that. Who would like to share your ideas with us? This girl, please. This brave girl, please put your step cards on the whiteboard. OK, thank you. So let's see if you all agree with her idea.(鼓励学生对预排项目化活动的先后顺序)

So do you think “think of a club” is the first step?Yes. OK, step one. So is making a poster step 2?Yes. OK, I agree. And is step 3 “having an interview”? Yes. But what about finding some members?Actually, we can find some members while having an interview, right? So they are both step three, right? Do you agree?Yes. OK, thank you. 

So now that we know what to do. Let’s start with step one.So what club would you like to start and why?Let's see what clubs we've learned. So what is this club?Science club. And? Chess club. And? Art club. And so many more from our textbook, right? So you can choose from them or you can create your own. And you need to tell me the reason according to your interests, abilities and needs. (选定社团名称并解释理由)

OK,so do you know what to do?Yes, discuss with each other. Go. Discuss. 

OK. So who'd like to share your idea with me? OK. You, please. We want to start a music club because we are interested in music and we want to learn more about music. Wow, how interesting! And? OK. That boy. OK. You mean you are good at acting, right? OK, thank you. And? OK, that boy. OK, excellent! Brilliant ideas! I couldn't wait to see how your clubs come out.

Now that we have a name for our club, let's see how to make a poster. But before making one, let's learn from a sample.

OK, you see.So what content can we get from this poster?First, can you tell me what this club is?Robotics club. Oh, you mean robotics club, right? OK.So how can you know it's a robotics club? Can you tell me how you find it?OK. That boy. Yes, you please. Because I can see a picture about robots. OK, you mean right here, right? It is a picture about a robot, right? OK, very good. So picture. How else do you know its a robotics club? Is there another way to know?OK, you, please. You again? You are very active. All right. The title. Right? So it means that for a club, the title and the picture are the most eye-catching information, right? So what other information can you get from the poster?Have a look. Think about it. What other information? OK. You, please. I think place. OK, you mean where means the place, right? And can you go on? How about when?That is the time. And any other information? How about right here? Who to contact, do you know the meaning of contact?Actually, contact means someone you can call or email for more information. So do you know the meaning of it? What does that mean? Right. OK, read after me, contact, contact. OK. So we also need contact, right? And how about this part?So what is this information about? OK, let me give you a hint. So pay attention here “who can do these”. These are the…?Yes, the ability of the members, right? And how about the sentence at the beginning? What are these for? You see, at the beginning, we can use it to….? Ask questions, right? Or we can say introduce, right? Introduce. So we can call this information a lead- in. So look at that. But is that all? Can we make the poster better?OK. Look! I made one myself. What do you think of it? Do you think its a good poster? So what other information can I add to it? OK, that boy. I think… Oh, yes, you have a sharp eyes. So activity, right? We can add activity. OK, very good. And any other information? How about right here? It is called the QR code. And how about this sentence? Let's read it a little. Every maker…, go. So what does that mean? Every what maker? Every maker may shake the world. What does that mean, shake? Right. It means change. So what does this sentence mean? OK, that that girl at the back. Yes, you please. Very good. Excellent! So we call this kind of sentence…? A slogan.So why do you think I add a slogan?Why do I do that? OK, you, please. Because I think it can catch students’ attention. OK. Catch students attention, right? OK, very good.  

So for a poster, you need red information as your main content, but also you can choose to add the yellow ones or not, OK?

Now that we know what the content is for our information, let's see what language can we use? That is how to write a poster.

So normally, we can divide a poster into three parts. The beginning, the body and ending.

So how to write the beginning?For example, we can use this sentence. Yes, you mean we can use “Are you interested in…? Right? And is there another way to begin the poster? Do you…? Love or do you like? 

And for the body part, we can use some…?Yes, you can see that the language is very simple, right? So we can just use some simple verb phrases, right? Like that. And or we can also use….? Yes, questions like can you do something to describe the ability, right? And also, you can use this sentence. What is that? Join our club, right? 

And for the ending part, what sentence can we use?Join us in or you can use that sentence to welcome the members. What’s that? Come to. OK.

And finally, what else is important?

OK.Among the three posters, which one do you like best?The first one. Oh, but why is that? Why do you like the first one best?OK. You, please. Because the first poster is more colorful and more eye-catching. Wow, more colorful and more eye-catching, right? That means the information in the first poster is clearer? Do you agree? OK, very good. 

So now let's try to summarize.To make an amazing poster, we need information or content like the…what?The name of the club, right? That is the title, right?What other information?Yes, maybe the ability, right? Members' ability. And any other, do you remember?OK, activity, right? And anything else?Hey, don't forget the picture. That is very important. And anything else?Where do I go? When is… Yes, the time and who to contact? And we can add …?We can use some sentence structures like, can you do to describe the ability or come or doing something to describe the activity?And last, but not least, if you want, you can add a…?Slogan to make your poster more attractive and inviting, right? OK. Very good. (学生自主分析海报样本，提炼评价标准)

Now it's your time to discuss in your group and figure out the club information for your club. But don't forget to discuss with each other first and you can use these questions to guide you. And if you are still not sure about how to say something, you can ask me or Li Meng for brilliant ideas. Yes. So do you know what to do? Yes. OK. Go. If you finish discussion, you can send it to your QQ group.

The teacher show guidance to some groups: So, do you ask Li Meng any questions? Yes. What questions do you like? Ask her. I am interested in your drama club. You mean the ability, right? So do you like the sentences that Li Meng gives you? OK. Maybe you can share your idea with your group mates. OK. Thank you.

And how about your group? So you made a decision? Yes, OK. Say something. Yeah. Our club is making it possible to everyone. Thank you.

OK, I can see that most of you have finished the club information. Normally, I would ask you to start draw your poster right now, but not this time.

Do you remember the blue poster that I made? Yes. Actually, I didn't draw it. I made it online. So today I'm going to show you a new way of making a poster, that is how to make an online poster.

Video script: Hello everyone! Have you ever been asked by your teacher to create a poster for a club? I am not a good writer. But don’t worry. Today I will show you how to create an eye-catching poster. You will use an app called “Canva”. Here is how. Step 1, open “Canva” and click “Template” and choose “poster”. Step 2, type in your club ‘s name like “Literary Club” to search. Step 3, pick a template you like. Love everything? Just add your information. Don’t like any? Try “AI design”. Tell AI what you want, and… viola. A unique poster is ready. Not happy with the picture? Ask AI to make a new one. Last but not least, add a QR code to a video or a link so people can learn more and join your club! Easy, right? Now go and make an amazing club poster.(借助Canva工具，将创意转化为可视化电子海报, 体现了英语与信息技术学科的融合)

OK. Is it amazing? Yes. Now, it’s finally time for you to work in groups of six and make your club poster.

Are you ready? Go. Make it.

Students get together in their groups and discuss.

I think dance is about music. So we can add some picture about dance. Yes. I think you can add some pictures of…. We can make the poster words big and colorful. I think you can add a QR code on this post. This poster is a little empty. I think you can add some letters. Yeah, actually, it is pretty cool voice of China, right? It's like voice of China, right? Voice of our heart. I like it. Let's see how you are doing. Wow, that is a cool picture. Yes, it's amazing. Wow, that is very cool. That's good suggestion. Yes, you need to spell your words, right? This is our activity. What advice? Do you have any advice for the activity? I think the word is. Yeah, change the color, right? Yes, change the color, but to what color? Do you think red is a good color? Green. Yeah, you need to show your information clearly, right? Let's see. Wow, you made it fast. The title's color is not clearly. You can choose this one. Wow, much better. Wow, the English club. I want to join this club.(师生，生生互动交流，适时给予指导与评价)

OK, so if you finished making your poster, you can upload it to the “Padlet”.

And let's enjoy each other's poster and leave some comments. OK? Upload. And for the teachers, you can also scan this QR code and check out the students’ posters. And you are more than welcome to leave some comments too. OK, and everyone please enjoy each other's posters and leave some comments. Leave some comments, please. If you like it, you can give it a big heart, OK? And if you think it can be better, you can also leave some suggestions. Don't forget to leave some comments. Your comments are very valuable for us to make our posters better.

And now let's invite some students to see how you feel about these posters. OK, who'd like to share your opinion with us? OK. You, please.

I want to say something about our club poster. I feel so warm and comfortable. But it doesn't tell students the place, activity.

You mean the art club? Yeah, but here, it has the place, right? In the art classroom, right? OK, so maybe it is just perfect, right? OK, very good. And any other? OK. You, please.

I want to see more about English club. I think the English club poster is great. It has bright picture and lots of colors. But they can add some simple example for activities.(生生自我评价)
