2. Material Analysis:
The passage in Unit2 is a introduction of the lost and found office in New York city. The passage uses a lot of numbers to show us how crowded and busy the lost and found office is. It’s humorous and easy to read, but students may not understand the importance of a lost and found office and they do not know a lost and found office quite clearly.
3. Student profile:
Students in grade seven likes games and competitions. They like the popular cartoon character Peppa Pig too. And they have unit1 and know how to ask about owners of the lost things. So the teachers should think of some interesting games to guide the students to finish some tasks and learn more about the lost and found office in New York. Most of the students like to compete with others and they enjoy working with teammates.
