梁原中学 景进禄

Good morning,everyone! I’m very glad to stand here to interpret my lesson. The lesson I’m going to talk about is the last period of Unit 9, Book 9. Reading Do you know when basketball was invented? I’ll describe my thoughts on teaching this lesson in the following 6 aspects: analysis of teaching material, analysis of students, teaching aids, teaching aims and demands, teaching procedures and teaching feedback.

First of all, I’d like to give some analysis of the material and the students. This material is from Go for it! Book 9, Unit 9 When was it invented? The language goal of this unit is to “Talk about the history of inventions.”

In this unit, students will get in touch with the passive voice, which is a new grammar. And it’s important and a little bit difficult. In the prior periods of this unit, students have got in touch with the passive voice and realized initially what the passive voice is constructed and what it expresses. So in this period, I make “improve students’ reading ability” as a key point.

OK, that is my analysis of material. And then I want to talk something about the students. In general, students’ reading ability in our school is poor. When they meet long articles, some of them don’t know what to do. So my aim is to make them master how to analyze a long article. Here, we need a new learning stratery—Mind-mapping.

Next, teaching aids, I need a projector to show students some pictures.

According to the teaching material and the analysis of the students, I set the teaching aims and demands. By the end of this period, first of all, most of the students will be able to master some words, phrases and key sentences. Secondly, students will be able to use the mind-mapping to remenmber information and their reading ability can improve. Thirdly, by learning the article, students can learn the history of basketball. They also know that playing basketball is a good way to keep healthy. So we should love basketball, love sports and love our life.

The important point of this period is to improve students’reading ability.

The diffcult point of this period is how to use mind-mapping to remember information.

OK, so much for teaching aims and demands. Next comes my most important part, the teaching procedures. My students will learn the lesson in 4 steps.

Step one is lead-in. First, I’ll greet the students with daily conversations. And then I’ll let them talk about sports played in China. Next show them some pictures, then let them talk about which sport is the most popular in China and which sport is their favorite and why.

Step two is pre-reading. Basketball is very important all over the world. Some boys in our class like playing basketball after class. Students in groups talk about basketball and give the whole class some information about it.

Step three is reading. There are 4 tasks I have designed.

Task 1 Students scan the article. While reading, they can draw pictures on the paper. Then complete the mind-mapping with the information from the reading.

Task 2 Students read the article again, then answer the following questions.

Task 3 Give students some clues, let them analyze every paragraph by themselves.

Task 4 Underline the key words, expressions and grammars in the passage and try to use them.

My fourth step is post-reading. In this step, I’ll interview some students, “Would you like to play on China’s national basketball team one day?” Let the students talk about it and give us a report. Then I will give them a suggestion: Maybe it’s hard to realize this dream, so they should keep a good banlance between playing basketball and their study.

Finally, I’ll tell the students the homework. Students get some information on the internet. Then write an

article about the history of a sport they like.

That’s all my teaching procedures. Next, I’ll say something about the teaching feedback. In the step of post-reading, I thought students would talk about the question actively. But it didn’t achieve my expected result. I should give them some clues, then encourage them to do better.

That’s all about my lesson talk. Thanks for listening. Bye!
