Use colorful pictures, pingyin, Chinese characters, and powerpoint to teach fruit in Chinese.
（草莓，香蕉，蘋果，西瓜，櫻桃）
Activity 2:
Pumping word cards game. ( Students are separated into five groups.)
The teacher picks different cards, and students should read the fruit of the card aloud in Chinese .
The group who answers the fast can get one point.
Transition:
很好! Now we learned the question sentence 你喜歡什麼水果?
You should answer 我喜歡__________。
你不喜歡什麼水果?
我不喜歡___________。
Activity 3:
Now we have a game. I will show the picture of fruit, and 欣惠老師will show you 喜歡 or 不喜歡, and you should say the whole sentence. For example, 我喜歡香 蕉/ 我不喜歡西瓜。
Transition:
很棒! Now we have another game.水果蹲

Extension of learning- Homework: Keep the drawing of their favorite fruit and stick it and write their reflection on their reflection books.
REFLECTION PHASE
Were the objectives met? And How or how not?
Yes, they were. The objectives met by the practices and activities.
What were the results of my Efforts to Accommodate
Heritage/Native speakers
MI
Students could concentrate to the teacher and knew the teacher’s direction.
Students drew their favorite fruit which accommodates the spatial intelligence and played the game to learn the vocabularies and sentences which accommodates the bodily-kinesthetic intelligence.
What worked well?
The activity 2 worked very well. Students could play the game happily and learn the sentences which the teacher taught.
What didn’t work as well as you had thought it would? Why?
The activity 3 didn’t work as well as we had thought because students were not quite sure how to play. Also, students could not see each others’ fruits so they did not know who won or lost. Then if the teacher gave the winner points, students would think it’s unfair.
What will you do differently as a result of this plan?
We will change the game rules to let students crowd around so that they can see each others’ fruits. Therefore, they can know who break the rules and immerge in the activity.
