Unit 2 The Olympic Games(The first period) Good morning, everyone. I am the No.3 candidate applying for senior high schoolEnglish teacher. It’s my great honor to have this opportunity to share my teaching planwith you. Today my topic is Olympics games. I’m going to talk about it from 6 aspects,namely analysis of the teaching material, analysis of students, teaching methods,learning methods, teaching procedures and blackboard design. And now I’ll explain theanalysis of the teaching material first.Part 1: Analysis of the Teaching MaterialThis lesson is the first period of Unit 2 of New Standard English for SeniorStudents Book Four, it is a passage about the ancient and modern Olympic Games,through the reading passage, ss can know more information about Olympic Games,especially the differences between the ancient and modern Olympic Games. The topic isvery interesting and worth to think deeply，during the process, students’ reading abilityand thinking ability can be improved, it is also helpful for students’ establishing theirlife and world value, as well as the society responsibilities. Based on the new curriculum standard, I set up three teaching objects as follows: 1. Knowledge objectivesThe knowledge objectives: students master the important words, phrases andsentence structures. Such as volunteer, homeland, regular basis, etc. Practice theintonation of the general question. To master the content of the reading passage andlearn how to make a interview.2. Ability objectivesThe ability objectives are to improve the students’ reading ability and developstudents’ communicative ability.3. Emotional objectivesThe emotional objectives are to strengthen ss’ love for Olympic games and toimprove ss’ reading interest.According to the analysis of teaching aims, I should help students master theimportant points and break through the difficult points as follows:


1. Key points:Teaching important point is improving the students’ reading ability by skimming’scanning and intensive reading and getting the students to grasp the new words andphrases.2. Difficult points:Teaching difficult point is to get the main idea and the key words of each paragraphas quickly as possible and to understand the intonation of the general question.Part Two: Analysis of the studentsThe students in Grade 1 senior high school are gradually get used to the school life.They are excited to learn in new school and make new friends. But some students aretoo shy to express themselves in English. Through the study of this lesson, they cangrasp the English learning methods in senior high school. Then, they can improve theirconfidence and interest in English study. By learning this passage we can make thestudents understand the differences between the ancient and modern Olympics games,and increase their understanding of human cultural awareness. Part Three: The Teaching MethodsI will use the following teaching methods to lead the students learn the new lesson: Communicative teaching method，Audio-visual teaching method and Task-basedteaching methodIn the part of Reading and Vocabulary we can train the students to make a goodunderstanding of the passage gradually by using different learning methods, such asskimming and scanning, working and discussing in groups, free talk, retelling, etc.Part Four: The Learning MethodsStudents will adopt researching learning method together with cooperative learningmethod in this lesson. The learning Methods of this class include pair work, groupwork, individual work and discussion, speaking, and writing.Teaching AidsMulti-media computer, tape recorder, PPT will be needed in this lesson.Part Five: Teaching ProceduresNow it comes to my most important part-teaching procedures.


Step 1 warm up Play a piece of Olympics video about liuxiang, Give the following questions:Do you like watching Olympic games?How much do you know about it?And then ask students ask and answer in pairs using the questions in the table.This question shorten the distance between teacher and Ss. Because liuxiang is aChinese famous player who win the first Olympic gold medal of 110 m hurdles inOlympic games. So it lead the content of the text which talks about Olympic gamesnaturally.Step 2 Pre-readingBrainstorming: Ss watch the picture and guess what it is in the picture. Then askthe Ss to talk about Ancient Greece by brainstorming. What we do in this step are all helpful for students learning more about the text andpreparing for the passage we will learn in the next step.Step 3 While-reading1. Skimming I will ask the Ss to read the text The Story of Atlanta and complete the T/Fquestions after the text on page 14. This will help students to practice the skimmingstrategies. Then Ss will read the whole passage quickly and get the main idea of eachparagraph. This also can be feedback to check other students whether they grasp thegeneral idea of the passage.2. ScanningStudents scan the whole passage again , find out the similarities and differencesbetween the ancient and modern Olympic games and finish the Activities 1 on Page 11.The purpose of this design is to train the scanning ability and thinking abilities ofstudents. 2. Careful-readingThis part will mainly deal with the contents of the text.Task 1: Let the Ss read the text again and then try to guess the meaning of the newwords and phrases, such as “greek, magical, regular basis…” on the blackboard. finishActivities 3 ＆ 4 on Page 23, at the meantime, I will explain the complex words, phrases


and sentences.Task 2: Read passage and answer the questions which is more difficult such as “.What amazes Pausanias about the Olympic games? Why does he think Athens andBeijing should feel proud?”The goal of this task is to let Ss get further understanding of the article and checktheir reading results and the deployment of the reading strategies. Step 4 Post-readingIn this step I design 2 activities to help the Ss strengthen what they have read andlearnt before.Activity1. role playlisten to the tape and underline the simple question, pay more attention to theintonation, finally act the interview in groups.Ss can practice their spoken languagethrough the activity.Activity2. Discussion in groups.Discuss the question :why do many countries want to hold the Olympic gameswhile others do not? And every group put forward their ideas and reasons to the class.This activity focused on their speaking ability and organization of material. It alsocheck whether the Ss grasp the main idea of the text.Step5: SummarySs summarize what we have learnt. Use the retell skills let Ss retell the similaritiesand differences between ancient and modern Olympic games. Make an assessment oneach group. Pick out the best group and then Emphasize the importance of group workand self-learning.Step 6 HomeworkHomework is not a repetition of today's lesson. Yet, it is important for the furtherdevelopment of students' language ability. So, I'd like students to write a composition onOlympic games by using the new words and phrases that they have learned today.Part Six: Design of the blackboardFinally, I will talk about my blackboard design. To grasp the main idea of reading,I will write main idea and the key words, phrases, on the blackboard.
