Unit 1 Festivals around the world Period 6 Using language: Speaking and writing 整体设计 教材分析 This is the sixth teaching period of this unit. The teacher can first check the homework, let students review what they learned in the last lesson and then lead in the new lesson. In this period, teaching activities will focus on speaking and writing, which belongs to knowledge extension of this unit. Especially, the writing offers students the opportunity to imagine the story A Sad Love Story and to use their own ideas to change the ending. The practice of creative or imaginative writing is important for students to use the vocabulary and structures they have learned. This is also a best way to test if students have mastered what they have learned. Encourage them to think of how they would feel in a similar situation or how they might imagine alternatives. They can reflect on stories that they know or have seen in films if they wish. Writing is a higher stage of language learning. The teacher should frequently give students some assignments of writing. Only in this way, can students use what they have learned more freely. 教学重点 1. Develop students’ speaking and writing abilities. 2. Get students to use their own ideas to change the ending of a story. 教学难点 1. Let students create a new festival and make a short report about it. |
