Good morning, dear judges! I’m very glad to be here to present my class today. I’m number X candidate applying for high school English teacher. My topic today is Unit 2 Wildlife protection. In order to make my presentation much clearer, I’m going to divide it into 6 sections, that is, the analysis of teaching materials, analysis of students, teaching methods, learning methods, teaching procedures and blackboard design. Now I am going to present them one by one.

一、说教材

This lesson is from the part of reading for writing, unit 2, book 2, published by People’s Education Press for senior high school students. This lesson is to guide students to organize an effective poster which is a useful topic for students. By studying this lesson, students will be able to know the format of an effective poster and their awareness of wildlife protection can be also improved.

Teaching Objectives

Based on the new curriculum standard, the teaching objectives are as follows:

1. Students can learn the features of an effective poster through the reading materials;

2. Students can organize a poster by themselves to deliver some information;

3. Students can improve their abilities of getting information and writing through this lesson;

4. Students can cultivate their awareness of protecting wildlife.

On account of the above analysis, the key points and difficult points are as follows.

Key Point

Students are able to organize a poster by themselves to deliver some information.

Difficult Points

Students can improve their skills in writing and can cultivate their awareness of protecting wildlife.

二、说学情

A senior student in high school has learned English for several years. Students in this grade have acquired some basic knowledge and they are able to express some ideas in English. A freshman in senior school has gradually formed the competence of processing information and analyzing problems, however, their writing skills are not high enough. Using proper words and sentence structures is a bit difficult for them. Therefore, in this lesson, I will stress the importance of their ability of expressing opinions in English in a correct way.

三、说教学方法

Teaching methods

According to the teaching objectives and students’ characteristics, in this class, I will mainly employ situational method and task-based teaching method.

Learning methods

For students, they will work in pairs and in groups to explore the new knowledge referring to the students’ physical and physiological characteristics.

四、说教学过程

In order to realize the teaching process systematically, properly and efficiently, I divide the teaching process into six steps:

Step 1. Lead-in

At the beginning of the class, I will play a radio of endangered animals and ask them whether they know the condition of the wildlife. Then guide students to begin the new lesson.

Step 2. Pre-writing

I will lead students to read the passage first and answer the following questions:

What dose each poster use to stir up emotions?

What dose each poster want people to do? How do you know?

In your opinion, which poster is more effective and why?

What’s the format of a poster?

Through this step, students can know the format and features of an effective poster and lay a foundation for the writing.

Step 3. While-writing

Students work in pairs to make a poster about an endangered animal:

First, I will lead students to choose one animal between South China Tiger and Yangtze River Dolphin. Then, they should follow these steps to organize a poster: write a title; write the name of the species and why it’s endangered; use a powerful image to attract attention; tell the readers what you want them to think and do. I will walk around the classroom and provide necessary help.

Through this step, students can organize a poster by themselves and improve their writing skills by logic.

Step 4. Post-writing

1. Students exchange posters with another pair and use the checklist in the textbook to check their writings.

2. Students modify their own writings.

3. Select the best ones.

Modification in pairs can help students to correct their errors and form a better poster.

Step 5. Summary

Students summarize what they have learned today and I will give proper supplements. Then, I will remind students to protect the wildlife and develop a positive system of values and attitudes. In addition, I also will tell students that they can use posters to deliver information in their daily life.

Step 6. Homework

1. Guide students to put up these posters in our school;

2. Encourage students to search for more information about wildlife protection and share it next class.

五、说板书设计

Now let me introduce my blackboard design. I attempt to remind how to write an effective poster by the blackboard design so that the teaching efficiency can be improved.
