Ⅰ. The type of the lesson---reading level.

Ⅱ.The analysis of the new curriculum standards The new curriculum standards are the base and guide to teaching, which require us , on the basis of textbooks and extra teaching resources, to effectively combine teachers’ conducting and explaining with students’ independent research and cooperative learning, solve “double bases” (language knowledge and abilities), develop students’ skills (obtain information, discover analyze and solve problems) and fulfill moral education, thus achieving the aim of efficient learning- enjoying learning, being good at learning and being able to use it. As far as I’m concerned, teachers and students will research effectively, combine resources and achieve 3D aims.

Ⅲ. The analysis of the text 1..Help students master words and expressions in the text

Important words:

performer, astonish, astonishing, fortunate, unfortunately, ordinary, bored, entertain, throughout, homeless, moustache,

worn, failure, overcome, leather, fortunate, chew, convince, convincing, direct, outstanding, Switzerland, gesture

Sentence patterns:

-ing forms (used as the object complement, predictive, or attribute)

the attributive clause as if (They are used as tools for reading and are basic contents)

2. Help students to get knowledge about the text

Ⅳ.Analysis of students The life of Charlie

Zhao Benshan, Huang hong and so on, but they don’t know Charlie’s achievements, how Charlie gained his success and the life of Charlie. So they have desire to learn.

2. Students have abilities of a certain level to read, discover and cooperate .So how to improve them in well-organized ways in limited time and accomplish the moral goals are what the teacher should think about.

Ⅴ.Teaching aims

(1) Knowledge goal: students should master the “tools”- key words and expressions, learn about the the life of Charlie，can describe its achievements. and can tell the way of how Charlie gained his success.

To acquire new knowledge (2) Ability goal: develop the students’ three kinds of skills:

the skills of reading: skimming(for the general idea), guessing(for a better understanding) ,intensive reading(for details)

the skills of studying: self-discovering, communicating, cooperating

the skills of writing: summarizing, passage-based writing

to develop the students’ skills required in NMET

(3) Moral goal:

develop the awareness of communication and cooperation ,and help students get a better understanding of the importance of making other people laughing as well as determination to overcome difficulty in face of trouble like Charlie.

to arouse students’ interest in learning and life

Ⅵ. My opinion about how to deal with the passage (including important and difficult points)

(1)About the key words: let students understand them in the sentences of the passage, especially several verbs. (2)About some additional words: only make students able to identify them—

typhoon, tsunami, hurricane. (3)About the passage itself: students must be able to retell the text, but the important 第

one is to let the students know the life of Charlie and his achievements and summarize the way of his success (4)About –ing forms: just let students discover the sentence pattern and try their best to understand the function of them. There is no need to explain in this period.

(5) Appreciating good sentences is an essential step. Never miss it. (6) Developing students’ abilities of reading comprehension and summarizing is the core。

Discussion and passage- based writing is to extend their ability. These are the teaching important and also difficult points for ability promotion and moral education.
