Analysis of Teaching Material

  The content of my lesson is Book 2 Unit 4 Wildlife protection Reading. This unit is about wildlife protection. By studying of this unit, we’ll help students to learn the useful words and expressions about wildlife protection (wildlife, protection, die out, in danger of, south China tiger, antelope, etc.) and develop students’ reading skills: skimming, scanning, careful reading and retelling as well as help students to know basic knowledge about wildlife protection. At the same time, enable students to form a sense of wildlife protection and motivate students to take an instant action. From this reading lesson, students are expected to learn more than reading.

Therefore, this lesson is in the important position of this unit. If the students can master it well, it will be helpful for them to learn the rest of this unit.
