教材分析:
The topic of this unit is Nelson Mandela — a modern hero, so all the languages and activities are designed to serve it. The reading passage is about a poor black worker Elias getting help from Mandela and supporting him. According to the reading passage, students can learn what Mandela did for black people and why he did so.
Also from this part, students can improve their reading skills, such as skimming to get the main idea, scanning to get some important details, discussing to have a further understanding of the text, and interviewing to retell the text in their own words.
学情分析:
The students have already known some information about Nelson Mandela and black people’s situation at that time. And they have also had some reading skills. However, some students don’t know how to learn efficiently. And they also feel it difficult to express what they think in English. So they need more practice to improve their reading and speaking ability.
