MY FIRST WORK ASSIGNMENT
--“Unforgettable”, says new journalist
Teacher: Shen Xiaoli Chongqing Changshengqiao Middle School
I. Analysis of the teaching material:
The topic of the unit is “news”, and it is related to making the news and being a journalist. This period is the second of the whole unit after “Warming-up”. It is a reading & writing class. The passage is presented as a conversation between a new journalist and his boss, which introduces how to be a journalist. The passage presented as a conversation is easier to understand, however, the terms in the news industry and the slang may hinder the students from reading.
II. Analysis of students:
Although a conversation seems to be easier to understand, it will be still difficult for the students to get a clear outline quickly. Therefore, the teacher needs to guide the students to sort out the thread by using the questions in the passage. Besides, as senior students in their second year, the students know something about the news and the related jobs from their real life. Thus, it is possible that the students can offer some other instructions on how to be a journalist.
