A Taste of English humour Ⅰ. Analysis of the teaching materials: 1. The importance of this lesson This lesson is a reading passage. It plays a very important role in English teaching of this unit because we should lay particular emphasis on the students’ reading ability in senior English teaching. 2.

3. Moral education aims: learn the optimism ,kindness and determination of Charlie Ⅲ. Analysis of the teaching theories and methods: Communicative approach and Computer-Assisted Instruction are to be used in the course of this lesson. And I will try my best to limit Teacher Talking Time and increase STT (Student Talking Time).So during this lesson, emphases are to be laid on:

1. Student-centered teaching

2. Task-based learning

3. Activity-based teaching (individual work; pair work; group work; class work

Since it is a reading passage, it is very important to develop the students’ reading ability. I’ll use some reading methods such as preparation for reading, (lead-in) scanning, skimming and intensive reading. In class, I’ll try to use encouraging and polite remarks such as “Do you want a go?” “volunteers” “Well done!” “You did a good job!” “Thanks!” and so on. I’ll get the students to have a competition to develop

their quick response. I’ll make full use of modern equipment ——the multi-media to make the class more lively and interesting.

Ⅳ. Analysis of the students:

The students are in Grade 1. They are still at an age when they would like to have competition with others. They have known something about humour and Charlie Chaplin. But some long sentences are difficult for them to understand. So I will help the students in different levels to learn English. Ⅴ. Analysis of the teaching process: Now come to the most important part Step1. Lead-in: 1）show some pictures of humor for Ss to enjoy 2）play a short video about Mr. Beanand then answer my questions

My purpose here is to grasp the Ss’attention as quickly as possible. Let the Ss know how mime give them fun. Step2. Before reading

Listen and make the best choices.

My aim is to give a brief introduction of Charlie Chaplin. Step3. While reading: 1. Fast reading: scanning & skimming 1) let them complete the notes about Charlie Chaplin using the information in the passage. Born: _________ Job:_______ Type of acting:______ Charming character: ____________ Died in ____ ,in_________ In 1972, he was given ____________ 2) Let them match the main idea with each paragragh. Para 1 the general introduction to Charlie Chaplin Para 2 Charlie’s childhood Para 3 His famous film character, the little tramp Para 4 Something about Chaplin’s film “the Gold Rush”

Teaching reflection In this lesson, I lead the students understand the passage step by step, and help them to analyze the personality of Charlie Chaplin and hold a discussion. Through the class, they can not only improve the reading skills but also get the hang of the knowledge about Chaplin and learn some important qualities from him. Ok, that’s all for my interpretation. For the time is limited, there must be some mistakes in my interpretation; I hope you can give me some suggestions. Thank you!
