Teaching analysis

Analysis of teaching material

After a whole unit’s learning, students are required to write an article describing amazing things using the words and sentence structures they have learnt in this unit. Though an example has been given in Part B, it doesn’t mean students can write an article with a clear structure and fine language. So the teacher should encourage the students to help each other, get some ideas for their writing and improve their writing.
