The Second Period : Learning about language 1 (Learning about important language points)

Discovering useful words and expressions

Teaching Design Design from the whole angle

Teaching analyses

This is the second teaching period of this unit. The teacher can first check students’

homework and offer chances for students to review what they learned during the first period. The emphasis of this period will be placed on the important new words, expressions and sentence patterns in Warming up and Reading. In order to make students understand this important points thoroughly, we can first get students to understand their meanings in that context, then

give some explanations about them, later offer some exercises to make the students master their usages. Some words and expressions such as survive, belong to, in search of, etc. are very useful and important. So are the sentence patterns. “Sadly, although the Amber Room was considered one of the wonders of the world, it is now missing,”

and “There is no doubt that the boxes were then put on a train for Konisgsberg…” and so on, we ought to play more attention to them and design special exercises.
