Introduce myself:

My name is ZhouNan. I have worked in WeiTang Middle School for 2 years.

Today I want to talk about Unit 2, School Life Reading, 8A.

First, the analysis of the textbook:

1. The contents:

The part of the reading in the second unit aims to introduce school life in British and American schools and it aims to get the students to learn the differences between foreign culture and native culture.

2. The teaching aims:

(1)The aims of the knowledge: To learn life in a British school or an American school and to master important language points.(2)The aims of the abilities: To improve the abilities of getting information by scanning and the abilities of listening, speaking, reading and writing.

(3)The aims of the emotion: To promote their love for their school and school lives.

3. The teaching emphasis:

(1) To get the ability of general reading and acquiring information.

(2) To master vital phrases and sentence structures.

4. The teaching difficulties:

(1)We have to tell our English teacher what we are reading.

(2)This is great because it takes less time than taking the bus.

Next, the teaching methods:

Teach the students by the five teaching steps gradually to emphasize the contents. The teacher is to act as a guide and the students as an actor to do the activities.
