DesignerYunLu ZengStudents to be taught First year students of junior high school in NanningTeaching materialsModule 6 Unit 1:Does it eat meat ?English Book 1, Foreign Language Teaching and Research PressLearners AnalysisThe students that I am supposed to teach are the first-year students of junior high school in Nanning. For Knowledge Reserve , students have learned English for more than 4 years and most of them have good background knowledge of English. The students have learned some names of animals and some simple adjectives and phrases to describe animals , but the students may not know much about what animals eat. Besides, there are some new words in the listening material , so it would be a little bit challenging for them to find out all the answers.In addiction, referring to the students Mentality and Skill Characteristics, the students are interested in learning English and knowing more about animals, but sometimes they are absent-minded easily.As for the Learning Needs, the students at this age are usually so curious that they are eager to know more about animals and they may want to describe their pets or other animals to others.Materials AnalysisThe lesson that I am going to teach is Module6 Unit 1: Does it eat meat?, taken from English Book1 , published by Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press. This is a listening and speaking class. The whole unit includes part 1 to 8.Its too much for students to learn all these parts in 40 minutes. As part 1, part 2,part 3,part 4 are related closely which are all about listening practice ,part5,part 6, part7 and part 8 are for speaking exercise,so I decide to divide this unit into two parts.The first part ,including part 1, part 2,part 3and part 4 as the listening content,part 7 and part 8 would be integrated and used for speaking practice. As the linguistic focus,the first part is about some names of animals and a conversation .There are some language points of this module and I will teach them some new words before the class.Part1 helps to make good preparation for the students for part2 and part3.In the second part, part8 will be rearranged and the students should write 3 sentences to introduce their favorite animals as the homework for this lesson. As for the strategy focus, the listening material in part 3 is comparatively easy and it is not very difficult for students to catch the points, but it can be difficult for the students to match each animal and its food. So the skill of listening for specific information is important in this lesson which can help students understand better the listening material.Referring to the culture aspect, this unit focuses on animals food .With the development of the economy,students living in the city have less opportunity to get close to nature , so it is vital to help the students to develop the knowledge about animals.Teaching ObjectivesLinguistic objectivesBy the end of this class, the students will be able to :1)catch the main idea of the listening material in part 3 and answer the questions in part 3 and part 4.2)spell some animals names correctly.Strategic objectives By the end of this class, the students will be able to apply the skill of listening for specific information and develop the good habit of taking notes while listening.Cultural objectivesBy the end of this class, the students will be able to get a better understanding of what animals eat .Focal pointsWays out 1.To learn to catch the details in the listening material,2.To talk about animals by asking questions.1.Show the students the questions that they are going to answer before listening,2.Ask the students to catch the key words(the names of the animals)and take notes.3.Give them an example first before they start talking.Difficult pointsWays out Making conversations and talking about the animals according to the listening material.Give the students an example first and ask them to imitate the listening material .Teaching MethodsListen and tick , listen and fill and DemonstrationTeaching aidsA computer of multi-media with chalks and blackboard , a pictureTeaching ProcedureTeaching stepsTeachers ActivitiesStudents ActivitiesDesigning purpose Step1.
