The teaching plan consists of five parts: I.Analysis of the teaching material II. Analysis of the teaching methods III. Analysis of the learning approach IV. The teaching procedures V.Blackboard design,Teaching plan for unit 18, Inventions,The position and role of this text “Inventions” is the third period of unit 18. Its a reading comprehension text. This lesson is very important for the students to learn in that it is related to our thinking strategies and it can improve the students ability of creativity and imagination. 2) Knowledge goal: Key words: patent, petrol, reject, otherwise, previous, aware, dusty, pilot, background, etc. Key phrases: allow for, get stuck, break away from, be aware of ,etc,Part I. Analysis of the teaching material,3) ability goal: talk about inventions improve the students ability of creativity and imagination 4) Moral goal: By learning this text, the students can not only further understand the importance of the creativity, but also learn how to improve the ability of creation. 5) Teaching aims to improve the students reading ability, such as skimming, scanning. to arouse the students curiosity about how to become creative. by trying the thinking strategies of inventors and scientists, the students can become better problem-solvers and learners,1). The new curriculum emphasizes the principle of “taking the students as the host and the teacher subordinate” and advocates the cooperative learning, task-based learning, communicative learning. Therefore, Ill create as many chances as possible to make my students participate in ways of “questions and answers”, “group discussion and pair work” and “search for and exchange information”. 2). If the lesson is held in the network classroom, the teacher can divides the students into several groups of 5 or 6 and guides the students self-study by taking advantage of the modern equipment. 3). Its commonly said that there are three kinds of learning modalities, namely visual, auditory and kinesthetic. A visual person learns through seeing, an auditory one through hearing and a kinesthetic one through moving, doing and touching. Therefore, Ill apply multi-functional teaching equipment to cater for the different characteristics of the students learning habits,II. Analysis of the teaching methods,Interest is the best teacher. But with the heavy study burden and impact of the traditional spoon-feeding teaching, sometimes the students may lose the interest in learning and are not independent enough. So how to motivate them, develop their interest and build up their self-study ability are the first things I am considering about,III. Analysis of the learning approach,Task 1.warming-up and lead-in (8mins) Show the students some interesting and humorous inventions, and ask them to try to describe what they have seen in the pictures.

So we teachers should help the students to master this skill, that is, to move eyes quickly down the page seeking for specific words or phrases.,Combine new and old ideas,Make connections,Make connections that may seem strange at first,Think of new applications and solutions,2. Careful reading of the fourth paragraph: how can we learn to make connections,It is a very important question. Whatever we may do with in the future, we need to make connections to solve the problems about our life and work in society. By making connections, we can improve imagination and think up some creative thoughts.,Skimming: Read the text quickly and find out the main idea of the text,Practicing good thinking strategies can make us become more creative and imaginative,Skimming is to guide the students to get the general idea of the text and improve the students summarizing ability.,2.Who never goes to see a doctor,even when he is ill ,3.It is leaking( 漏水 ) everywhere in the office on a rainy day, why nobody has got wet,A blind
