That’s all for my teaching aims. Now let’s focus on the third part, Analysis of the teaching theories and methods. When I deal with this lesson. I’ll do my best to carry out some teaching theories of the new curriculum: taking the students as the host and the teacher subordinate .Carry out task-based learning and cooperative learning. Let the students receive some moral education while they are learning the English language.

4. Teaching aids: A tape recorder, the blackboard and PPT

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-depth reading or study 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 such as the multi-media and tape recorder 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 that would like to have competition with others. They have known something about the earthquakes. 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 came to the most important part Step1. Lead-in:

1.) show some pictures of Tangshan (before the earthquake)

2.) let the students to imagine what would happen after the earthquake (ask some students

to speak out their ideas)

My purpose here is to let the Ss know what we are going to look at

Step2. While reading: in this step I will let the students read the text twice 1. fast reading: scanning & skimming

1.) first tell the students this passage can be divided into three parts and tell them the clue

of the story : time order (tell them to pay attention to the first sentences of each para.) 2.) read silently to get the structure (after several mins I will discuss the structure with the

students)

Part 1 (para 1) Strange things were happening before the earthquake, bot no one took any notice of them

Part 2 (para 2-3) The earthquake destroyed the city of Tangshan and shocked the people very much

Part 3 (para 4) The army came to help the survivors, bringing hope for a new life 2. careful reading: intensive reading

do the exercise in students’ book in P27 1,2 (a competition: divide the Ss into four group, and then the one who stand up fast and give the right answer can get ten marks for his group, the group which gets the highest mark will get a present) Step3. Consolidation:

1. listen to the tape and read the passage aloud (Play the tape of the passage for the

students to listen and then ask them to read it aloud. Tell them to pay attention to the pronunciation, stress and intonation while listening. At the same time they can enjoy the beauty of the English language. And it can prepare the students for the retelling in next step.)

2. fill in the blank with proper words 3. retell the story in your words

Since the students in the class are in different levels, so first I will let them to fill in the blank to get an expression of the general idea of the text

Step4. Post reading － discussion 1. a short video about the 5·12 Wenchuan earthquake 2. pictures of Tangshan and Wenchuan (on the screen)

3. discuss: What can we do for the rebuilding of Wenchuan and how can we protect

ourselves if an earthquake happens? 4. volunteers

optional: show them some pictures of Wenchuan people and tell the Ss: Where there

is a life, there is hope

Step5. Homework 1. read the text again after class and figure out the meaning of the following complex

sentences (so these in class if time allow)

2. write a short paragraph to describe what had happened before – during – after the

earthquake using your own words
