Unit 5 Canada—“The True North”Period 6 Using language: Speaking and writing
整体设计
教材分析
This is the sixth teaching period of this unit. The teacher can first check the homework, let students review what they learned in the last lesson and then lead in the new lesson.
In this period, the teaching activities will focus on speaking and writing. These activities offer students the opportunity to collect and list information, then select two or three things that impressed them most to describe. They are also required to describe their feelings when they experienced the things. The practice of speaking and writing is important for students to use the vocabulary and structures they have learned. It is also a best way to test if students have mastered what they have learned. Encourage them in groups of four (Imagine two are the cousins who traveled across Canada. The others ask questions about the trip. ) to discuss what impressed them, make a list of their ideas and take part in a group discussion to find two or three things that impressed them most. Remind them to use the words and expressions of direction and position. Then let them write a short report about the two or three most impressive things.
Speaking and writing are higher stages of language learning. The teacher should frequently give students some assignments of speaking and writing. Only in this way can students use what they have learned more freely.
