Unit 2 I’ll help to clean up the city parks? (Section A 3a-3c)
Period 2 : Section A (3a-3c)
I. The analysis of teaching material
The teaching material is the reading part in this unit. The topic of this unit is volunteering and charity. The topic is very important to the student. Students should learn to protect environment in reality. It is very important and difficult for students to learn what question and alternative questions. After the class, the students should remember the new words and new sentence patterns.
II. The analysis of the students
Most students from the rural school have an average English level, and they are not good at reading. This unit is for the students who are from Grade1 in junior high school. As junior high school students, they may feel curious or worried about English learning, so I design different kinds of activities to help them to understand and learn the language points. That can not only help them to overcome their fear, but also can make them enjoy the success in English grammar. In this way, I think the students can learn more from my class and have lots of fun.
