Teaching Plan for Section A Topic 1 of Unit 2
(Project English Grade 8)
I . Analysis of the teaching materials
   1. Its status and fuction
     Project English Unit 2 Topic 1 mainly talks about illnesses, seeing a doctor, asking and giving advice to others who are feeling ill. Section A is the preparation of the coming sections and topics.
As we know, one of the main aims to teach English is to use English, to improve students’ abilities. The best way for students to improve their English abilities is to use English. This class I mainly lead the students to use English to express their feelings, illnesses, pains and how to give advice.
2. The Teaching aims
Following the instructions of the teaching syllabus and requirements of quality-oriented education, and considering the unique characteristics of this section and Grade 8 students language capacities,I work out the following demands:
1) Knowledge aims:
I require the students to grasp the vocabulary about pains and illenss in order to understand the dialogs.At the same time they should use the communicative phrases about expressing symptoms and giving advicd.
2) Ability aims:
Comprehensive development of ability can help the students study efectively .It aslo helps to develop the students’ abilities of listening ,speaking, reading and writing..
3) Moral aims:
After learning this section, make the students know how to care for other and help each other. Instruct them there are always some probabilities of being sick,so they should know how to fight against the illness.
3. Teaching emphases and difficulties
The emphases are:
1)      Learning how to express feelings and pains.
2)      Learning how to give advice when someone is ill.
The difficulity is : the expressions of giving advice.
II . Analysis the students
The students have learned some simple expressions of asking others’ physical situation in Grade 7,and they have touched upon the useful expressions should/shouldn’t. Therefore, they can absorb the new knowledge and practice the language points easily. And the sentence patterns of the dialogs are not totally new, so they can put it into use in communication.In addition,the students are eager to show themselves, but in their daily life ,they have no much chances.Some of them are weaker in English learning.They will get certain help during the class.
III.Analysis of the teaching methods
Learning the new words in the sentences is good way. According to students’ actual language level, I use the following methods:
1.Task-based teaching method
The new course standard points out, the teacher should design the teaching activity regarding students as the centre, pay close attention to each student, each student’s mood life and emotion experience, ethical life and personality building.So I apply the different kinds of teaching methods.
2. Learning by doing
New course idea of “learning by doing” is very welcomed by students. So I make drills between T and between Ss and Ss ,offer them opportunities to practice oral English.
3. Contest teaching method
In order to train students to learn by themselves. I design tasks . The teacher instructs students to acquire the knowledgeThe competitions between groups can arouse the students’interest. Students should cooperate in their own group at the same time they compete with the other groups. This can help students fostera sense of cooperation and competition.
4Summarize the main points of this section to make a conclusion.
IV . Analysis the learning methods
The students have different levels of learning English. So I’ll tell them to pay attention to the knowledge first. I’ll give them the tasks and ask them to work in pairs or in groups. They can help each other. This can encourage most students to join in our activities. And they will learn more easily .At the same, they also will be happy when they learn.
V . Analysis the teaching procedure
