Teaching design for “8A Unit 6 Grammar (A)”
I.Analysis of the teaching material
Grammar (A) of Unit 6,8A aims to enable the Ss to use to-infinitives for purpose by talking about things people do in Zhalong Nature Reserve. It consists of two expressing ways---to do/ in order to do.
II. Analysis of the Ss
Junior Grade 8 Ss may have met such structures when they did exercises before. This is a lesson for them to get a clearer idea and deeper understanding of to-infinitives for purpose.
III. The intention of my teaching design
Due to the above analyses as well as New National Curriculum Standards, I mean to help the Ss understand and use this grammar item in real situations instead of explaining grammar rules only, which might help the Ss master this structure more firmly and use it more frequently and naturally in their English study.
