Unit3 Celebrations

Lesson1 Festivals( A reading lesson) Ⅰ

Analysis of Teaching Material This is the first lesson of this unit. Before this class, the teacher have taught the students vocabulary in Warm-up and Lesson 1.

The reading passage titled FESTIVALS briefly describes three traditional festivals of China. Such a topic is closely related to students’ life, thus it is very easy to arouse their interest in learning this lesson. The text covers 3 sections. Teacher should encourage students to skim for the general idea for each section, and scan for further understanding, because this lesson introduces a lot of useful new words and expressions which are only used for festivals. In order not to let students feel much difficult, the teacher should deal with any language problems while they are reading. After reading, students are required to do the exercises in the each step to see how much they have understood the reading passage. The teacher can let them work in pairs or in groups to find the answers cooperatively, and then check their answers with the whole class. To consolidate the contents of the reading passage, students should be required to talk about festivals in their own words at the end of the class. Moreover, homework is very important for an effective class. So the students are assigned to write a composition about Spring Festival, based on what they have learned in this lesson.

Teaching Reflection

As far as this class is concerned, it is effective. I adopt Task-based Teaching. I try to stick to the theory Student-center

and act as a director. Not only have the students improved their communication skills, but also they have bulit a positive emotion about the Chinese traditional festival. In the meantime, they develop independent learning ability as well as cooperative learning ability and realize the happiness of teamwork.

However, there also remains something to improve. On one hand, I should focus on "generating”, while fully preparing “presetting”. On the other hand, I should pay attention to “non-preset”, as the unexpected situation will accidentally arise in the class. Anyway, the teacher needs teaching wits to organize the class and make everything under control.
