The

talking
about
stories.
Based
on
Alice’s
Adventure
in
Wonderland,
in
this
unit
several
stories
from
the
book
are
reviewed
and
also
some
new
ones
are
introduced
through
different
tasks.
Considering
students
might
be
hard-pressed
to
create
a
story
on
their
own,
several
ways
are
introduced
throughout
the
tasks.
Also,
several
tasks
are
adapted
from
the
book
for
students
to
practise
the
target
language
and
lay
the
foundation
for
the
final
output.
Analysis
of
students:
The
topic
“Story”
is
no
stranger
to
students.
And
they
are
familiar
with
the
beginning
of
the
book
Alice’s
Adventure
in
Wonderland.
So
they
won’t
find
it
difficult
to
understand
the
following
stories
in
different
tasks.
Besides,
my
students
are
good
at
discussing
in
groups.
So
group
work
will
be
of
great
help
to
them,
and
it
can
also
stimulate
them
to
express
themselves.
Most
students
from
Grade
Eight
are
still
developing
their
listening,
speaking,
reading,
viewing
and
writing
skills.
Thus,
students
can
be
easily
intrigued
by
different
types
of
tasks.
Besides,
my
students
possess
the
ability
to
imagine
in
context,
so
they
will
find
it
easier
to
imagine
some
unusual
things
when
given
a
certain
context.
Learning
objectives:
By
the
end
of
the
class,
students
will
be
able
to
create
an
entertaining
story
under
guidance
(amazing
names;
magical
things;
unusual
behaviors).
And
this
objective
will
be
achieved
by
talking
about
what
they
were
doing
in
Wonderland.

step
is
to

the
characters

book.
And
talking
about
students’
impression

story.
By
talking
about

her
unusual
behaviors.
This
step
is
to
lead
students
to
focus
on
unusual
behaviors
in
a

their
ability
of
imagining.
Also
students
can
know
how
