In this period all activities introduce the key vocabulary and the target language. students will learn about the ways of asking where the thing is or answering It’s in/on /under….
Ⅱ. Analysis of the Situation about Students(学情分析)
My students are about 13 or 14 years of age. They have the advantage of being great mimics. They are often energetic and usually prepared to enjoy the activities the teacher has prepared for them. On the other hand, they will not respond well to an activity that they perceive as childish, or well below their intellectual level. They easily lose confidence in face of difficulties. It is not an easy job to focus their abilities and developmental stage but at the same time sufficiently stimulate for them to feel satisfied with their work.
