Background knowledge:
Camps have been going for hundreds of years in the US and are a real North American tradition. Each year millions of children aged 6 to 16 from all over the US (and beyond!) look forward to spending anywhere between 1 to 9 weeks at summer camp. It's their time to break loose - to enjoy themselves, have fun, make friends, try cool new things and get looked after by a lot of people with funny accents!! Life at camp is intense - it's hard work, and in a very short space of time camp becomes your world... and each world is different, because each camp is different.
Private camps are the flagships of the great American summer camp tradition. Many have been around a long, long time and these camps are generally family owned and cater to children from high-income families - in short this is where the money is!! Because mum & dad are paying a lot to send their little darlings to camp, there's a lot for said darlings to enjoy - from the conventional activities like watersports, tennis, drama and baseball to the more unusual like skateboarding, climbing and even circus!
Outside of sports a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nd arts, campers enjoy some very traditional camp activities - such as team building games, sleep outs, making s'mores around the campfire, and sing-a-longs, and the good news is - you get to do all of it too!Teaching plan for Unit 16 An English Camp
Reading and Writing
Aims:通过阅读，对主题“camps” ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )得到更深的了解，同时通过阅读文章，学习一些新单词，巩固一些习惯用语，强化一些常用结构和时态表达，从而达到词、惯用表达和时态在写作中的正确运用。

（教学意图：这是几幅英语夏令营的图画，让学生们猜，一方面可以活跃气氛，另一方面可以顺理成章地引入正题）
