2学情分析

1. Analysis of the students

The English levels of the students in Class 7, Senior One are barely above average. What’s more, they are mostly boys and not quite interested in English. And as a result, they are more often than not passive in class. So it may cause me some trouble when assigning them some activities to do. It would be better if I take this into account when designing my teaching.

2. Analysis of the teaching material The more reading of Unit Two is about one of the most famous prizes around the world, the Nobel Prize. Most students must have heard of it, but don’t know much about its detailed information. The writer of the textbook did not choose this world-famous prize from so many other prizes as an example randomly. The Nobel Prize is one of the greatest honors one can ever receive in one’s lifetime and one of the Chinese writer, Moyan, has just received one in literature, which may well arouse the students’

interest in the text. And that can be the best motive for the students to learn.

3重点难点

1. The new vocabulary of the passage can be a big barrier to the understanding of the whole passage. And therefore, necessary preparation in the beginning phase of the class and moderate guidance in class should be considered. 2. The name of the Nobel Prize may sound quite familiar to the students, but they have little idea of any further information on it. And as a result, it is necessary to find appropriate means to guide the students through step by step. 3. The comprehension of the whole passage doesn’t demand much time, which makes me choose either to stimulate deeper thinking or introduce some supplementary reading material. And consequently, it is necessary to allocate the time more appropriately and design the class activities as carefully as possible.
