Unit 3 A taste of English humour

Resource Analysis:

The topic of this unit is life in the future which is required in the National English Curriculum (2003) for grade 11. The reading passage is about life in the future and has clear structure and organization. This is able to help students to know how to organize their ideas in a systematically way. Besides, I used a video and some pictures to arouse students’ interest. Students Analysis:

Students in grade 11 tend to thinking logically instead of thinking emotionally. This is good for them to connect the today’s topic with their prior knowledge. Besides, they have already known some writing skills such as writing topic sentences, organizing their ideas, and using some cohesive devices, etc. In addition, most of the students are cooperative learners, while others are individual learner. Some are field independent learner, while other are field independent dependent learners. Some are analytical learners, while others are synthetic learners.
