Ⅰ.
Analysis
on
Teaching
Materials:
This
is
a
grammar
lesson
taken
from
Unit
1
Festivals
Around
the
World
from
New
Senior
English
for
China
Student's
Book
3.
It
is
mainly
about
the
purposes
and
usages
of
10
modal
verbs:
can
and
could,
may
and
might,
will
and
would,
shall
and
should,
must
and
can't.
Besides
these,
I
also
add
some
of
their
negative
forms
like
“mustn’t”
“needn’t”
and
their
purposes.
The
teaching
activities
in
the
textbook
are
roughly
divided
into
three
parts:
finding
the
sentences
with
modal
verbs
from
the
text
and
speculating
their
purposes,
further
understanding
the
purposes
of
the
modal
verbs
through
exercises,
and
using
modal
verbs
to
dialogue
in
specific
situations.
Ⅱ.
Analyses
on
Students
We
have
40
high
school
grade
1
students.
The
grammatical
concept
of
"modal
verbs"
is
no
stranger
to
the
students.
They
concentrated
on
common
modal
verbs
such
as
can,
may,
must,
should,
etc.
in
ninth
grade.
However,
most
students'
understanding
of
modal
verbs
stays
in
the
one-to-one
correspondence
of
Chinese
translation.
For
example:
they
know
can
means
"可以";
may
mean
"也许";
must
mean
"必须";
should
mean
"应该",
but
they
can't
understand
that
they
can
mean
other
things
in
other
situations.
Therefore,
the
study
of
this
lesson
can
make
them
understand
that
"modal
verbs"
can
express
very
rich
emotions
and
attitudes
such
as
guessing,
blaming,
regret,
request,
permission,
surprise,
blessing,
etc.
Besides,
students
in
grade
1
cannot
pay
attention
to
grammar
learning
well
in
class,
which
needs
me
to
design
some
interesting
activities
to
help
them
concentrate
on
my
lesson.
