1、Analysis of theteaching materialThis reading passage is taken from Unit 2, Module 1, 9A, Oxford English.The topic of this unit is the Great Minds, focusing on kinds ofanecdotes. Through reading the humorous story happened betweenEinstein and his driver, students could learn about the common side oft
2、he great man, and western humor, as well as the five components of astory.Analysis of studentsStudents of Grade 9, besides their master of the basic English skills, arestill keeping the learning momentum and enthusiasm towards English.In the Speak Up of Unit 1, students have learnt to use five “w”s-
3、 who,what, when, where and why- to retell stories.Therefore, I hope, in this class, all the students can get involved, andmake use of the teaching activities to speak as much English as theycan, so as to develop the comprehensive abilities to use English, and tomake students of all levels understand
4、 the principle- learning by doing.Teaching objectivesI set up the following teaching objectives according to the role of thepassage played in the textbook and the requirements of the NewCurriculum Standard, that is, students learn and use English throughexperience, practice, involvement, cooperation
5、 and communication, topractice the learners-based teaching concept.1. Language and skills: students will be able to understand Einsteinswisdom and humour, and the five components of a plot.2. Procedure and method: students will be able to learn to cooperatethrough discussion and prediction; will be
6、able to catch and analyzeinformation by resources such as words and pictures andcommunicate in English actively.3.

7、hing focusesI set the following teaching focuses according to the teaching objectivesand the students learning circumstances:1. Let students learn about the contents and the five components of astory through activities;2. Let students learn to cooperate with each other and to catch andanalyze inform
8、ation by making use of resources, s3. Cultivate students logical thinking.Difficult pointsThe duty of a teacher is to help students solve problems in theirstudying process, so that they can comprehend the textbook, learnknowledge, improve abilities, and keep enthusiastic. I predict thefollowingdiffi
9、cultpointsaccordingtostudentspsychologicalcharacteristics and cognitive rules as well as the arrangement of theteaching material:1. Interested in stories, students are easily hyperactive during theperformance, so teachers should play a leading role to avoiddelaying the teaching progress;2. Students
10、may not be familiar with the five components of a story.Teaching approachesTo ensure students dominant positions, a teacher should play a leadingand scaffolding role. Therefore, I adopt the teaching method ofinteractions between teachers and students, students and students andstudents and textbooks.
11、 The method is illustrated as follows:1. The task-based teaching method is adopted.By using vivid pictures and relevant resources, a teacher shouldarouse students learning interests, and evoke students emotionalresponses, so that students can be led to comprehend the passagemacroscopicallyandmicrosc
12、opically.Therefore,theintegraldevelopment of students lingual abilities and emotions can bepromoted;2.Teamwork system is adopted to enlarge the teaching scope.Students are divided into groups so that they can inspire eachother among interactions. Ensure every student have a chancegettinginvolved in
