ⅠAnalysis of the teaching material The topic of Unit 5 is about launching your career, which is of practical meaning in students’ future development. What I focus on is the writing part and there is no fixed material in the book, thus urging me to search the Internet for some interesting and doable content. I base the lesson on a storyline which is about newly-formed avengers fighting against Chaos King for the reason that students are interested in the film Avengers and it will be a good try to brainstorm a follow-up story since Iron Man died. Also, in this lesson, students will feel the charm of justice and the significance of world peace. ⅡAnalysis of the students So far the students have been equipped with enough English words and useful expressions, which enables the students to complete challenging tasks and express themselves in a logic way. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect them to write well-organized sentences in the process of producing a letter of application.
