Step 1 Revision
1 Check the homework.

Speech Cassette Lesson 23. Play the tape for the Ss to listen and repeat. Pay attention to their intonation.
Explain the meaning of ever. It means at any time.
Use Chinese if necessary.
Step 3 Acting
In groups of four， the Ss act out the dialogue in the story of Lessons 22 and 23. One student plays the part of the boy and another one Lucy； the other two play Miss Yang and Han Meimei.
Ask a group to perform in front of the class. Make sure they use actions and gestures to make it a little play.

Step 5 Presentation
Present this dialogue：
A： Have you ever travelled to Hangzhou？
B： Yes； I have.
A： Have you ever travelled to Wuhan？
B： No， I haven't.
Practice the dialogue with the Ss. Get them to answer truthfully. Ask about different places.
Explain that Have you ever…？ is similar to the guo （过） construction in Chinese： Have you ever travelled to Hangzhou？ =（你是否去杭州旅游过？）
We use this structure to talk about our experience in life.
Ask general questions： Have you ever seen elephants？ Have you ever made dumplings （jiaozi）？
Step 6 Practice

Finally， see who can make up their own questions
Step 7 Practice
SB page 23， Part 3. Teach the response I did mine hours ago. Make sure the Ss understand its meaning， but don't discuss the use of did at this stage unless the Ss ask you.
Practice the dialogue with the Ss， then let them work in pairs.
