（Ⅰ）Syllabuses Objectives

It is required in the New Syllabuses that senior students should develop reading skills to read for information, to read for language knowledge and to read for pleasure. Senior Two students are supposed to achieve 8-graded objectives in the aspect of reading skills proposed in the New Syllabuses.

（Ⅱ）Target material

With the development of science and technology today, a variety of inventions and creations have come out from every aspect of our life. The thinking qualities and patterns of a person play an important role in his or her lifelong development. That’s why modern education needs to develop the learner’s creative thinking.

The unit theme is about “Inventors and Inventions”, which covers “the difference between ‘Invention’ and ‘Discovery’”, “the stages in producing an invention” and “the patent application criteria.

The 3A (“Awareness-Autonomy-Authenticity) teaching principle is embodied in the teaching design. The teacher is to help the students express their own ideas and opinions about a creative smart thing, and describe an invention.

(Ⅲ) Academic level

Senior Two students, active in thinking and curious about everything, have already got lot of knowledge in science and technology from their science subjects. They are very familiar with the topic. They have the ability to communicate with each other about the target material, but they still have some difficulty expressing their own thoughts and describing an invention. Therefore, I can stimulate the Ss’ interest in this topic, and they will be motivated to accept the challenge to learn and use language to achieve these goals.

The core task in this lesson is to read the passage “The Problem of the Snakes”. I ask the students to collect from the Internet some information about “inventions” before this lesson as a pre-lesson activity.

of interaction with other learners. There is extensive use of pair,
