Unit 9 What does he look like? (Section B 1a--2d)
Period 1 : Section B (1a-2d)
I. The analysis of teaching material
The teaching material is the second listening and speaking part in this unit. The topic of this unit is how to talk about physical appearances. After learning the first lesson and grammar lesson, students will have a good base on this lesson. But there are also some new words and phrases in this part. 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 listening and speaking. 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 language points. That can not only help them to overcome their fear, but also can make them enjoy the success by speaking and listening. In this way, I think the students can learn more from my class and have lots of fun.
