Teaching aids: mutli-media and the blackboard Since it is a reading passage, it is very important to develop the students reading ability. Ill use some reading methods such as preparation for reading, (lead-in) scanning, skimming and intensive reading (in-depth reading or study reading). In class, Ill try to use encouraging and polite remarks such as “Do you want a go?” “volunteers” “Well done!” “You did a good job!” “Thanks!” and so on. Ill get the students to have a competition to develop their quick response. Ill make full use of modern equipment such as the multi-media and tape recorder to make the class more lively and interesting. Analysis of the students:The students are in Grade 1. They are still at an age that would like to have competition with others. They have known something about the river. Some long sentences are difficult for them to understand.
