(Some say yes; others say no.)Whether you believe it or not, we may see pictures concerning aliens taken by people and hear stories which can not be explained. And today we’re going to read a news article about a boy.Step 2 Pre-reading(Aims: This part is aimed to introduce the features of news articles. Students are expected to find the title is incomplete and the structure is different by looking at a page from the newspaper and reading the reading strategy part.)T: Since it’s a news article, it is actually a little different.

A boy is missing, and the police are puzzled.T: Good job. And this is actually one of the features of a new article: the title is usually incomplete brief and attractive. And there is another feature, which you can find in reading strategy. Now read it and find it out what the other feature is?Ss: The first Para. (Lead) : the main idea and most important facts.The second Para.: important factsThe rest: new but less important info.T: V ery good. This is the second feature, which is about the structure of a news article. To be more specific what can we find in Para 1?S5: Who, What, When, Where, Why, How.T: Now please complete the following sentence using the information._____(who)_______ who ___(what)____(when)__, _____(where)________might have been taken by_______, which received great interest_____(why)________.S6: ....Step 3 While-reading(Aims: Active reading is encouraged by putting students in the role of being detectives. With some tips given, students are asked not only to find some detailed information but also draw some conclusions from it, aiming to fully motive them to read efficiently and think carefully.) T: Now let’s skim and scan Para. 2-9. While you are reading, try to be a detective and pay attention to the people mentioned, information they provided and conclusions that we can draw.

What is Detective Peterson’s attitude towards this case?S15: When asked, the detective said that people sometimes made up amazing stories and there was no hard evidence of aliens taking Justin away. While the police have not dismissed the idea, they are looking into other possibilities as well.Step 4 Post-reading(Aims : To help students consolidate what they have learned, some tasks are prepared for them. Using some good words and expressions are the focus of this part. They have to memorize them and then apply them in interview which is fun for them. Meanwhile an Oral Presentation Checklist is presented so as to help students to perform better and be able to evaluate other’s performance.)(Assessment 1 ) ClozeJustin Foster went ___1___ last Friday in Dover, New Hampshire.

(Assessment 2 ) Make up an interviewMake up an interview among a journalist from China Daily, Detective, Kelly and Mrs. MavisJ: Last night....

By now, thepolice .....And we’ll continue to give ourconcern to this case.Step 5 Discussion :(As an extension and revision of the class, three questions are designed for the students to discuss.)1.Suppose Justine suddenly returned home, can you make your wild guess what could have happened to him?2. If you are going to write a news article about it, what would be the title?3. How to read a newspaper article?Step 6 Homework:Write the first paragraph of a news article about the return of the missing boy.【Comments from colleagues】1. Overall affirmation of the classColleagues all gave positive comments on the teacher’s overall qualities, teaching interaction, the design and the effectiveness of the class, and the students’ performance as well. With a natu ral and vital atmosphere built in class, students can fully participate in the activities, which contributed to their good performance.2. Highlights of the class●Emphasis on the application of reading killsIt is self-evident that reading skills are quiet important in students’ reading. Since the passage is a news article, introducing the students its features and how to read it is a must. And in class, the reading strategy introduced first is applied to their reading, which obviously ensures the students’reading efficiency. Also before students start to read, some hints are provided. In this way, students are very clear about what to read and how to read it. While they are reading, different approaches are used to check their comprehension of each part, which keeps students from feeling bored.●Various activitiesTo arouse students’ interest and consolidate what they’ve learnt, based on the features of this passage, a variety of activities are designed for students including an interview (group work) and putting an end to the story (pair work). The former one requires students to make up an interview covering some important information from the article with the help of some key words provided. This not only helps them to review the details, but also makes them focus on vocabulary. The latter one provides students with more space to imagine and a chance to integrate what they’ve learnt. And more importantly, it is a great fun for them.●Evaluation diversityStudents’ performance evaluations are conducted in th e forms of teacher-student evaluation and student –student evaluation. In the class, the teacher comments on students’ performance and correct their mistakes when necessary. And it would be better to give as specific comment as possible, for example: everything covered; clear and loud; almost correct but there is something you need to….; right to the point. While in student-student evaluation, to help students complete the task better and comment on others’ performance, an oral presentation checklist is pre sented as a standard which not only can guide students in how to make a good interview, but also give them the chance to judge others. This actually plays an important part in students’ development of cognition structure.3. Some suggestionsIn the part of interview making, a lot of words provided mean too much control which may restrict students’ freedom. And when a student is not prepared for an answer to a question, the teacher should give him or her enough time to think. Don’t hurry to give the answer at once.【Reflections】After giving this lesson, I’ve realized the good effects that situational teaching, task-based teaching, and student-centered approach have on an English class.The setting of a real situation can attract students' attention and stimulate students' interest. As a result, students can practice in an authentic situation so as to effectively promote their ability of comprehension and language using. In the process of reading, students are asked to read for details and use the informa tion to deduce some conclusions as detectives. From students’ reaction I can see that their interest is stimulated in a certain extent and their reasoning is promoted at the same time. Another example is a television interview which is designed to let the students use the information and vocabulary by making up a dialogue. Although the activity is not new to them but their enthusiasm for this task is obviously high. At the end of the class, students are asked to put an end to the story and encouraged to use their imagination to full play. One student gives three versions, which shows that the activity has reached its expected results. And all these are good proof for the good effect of situational teaching.Student-centered approach is now widely accepted and used. In this class, I try to give students as many chances to speak as possible by using Q & A, retelling, interview and discussion, reminding myself only to play the role of a helper and guider. In the process of practice, the whole class is active, and students can fully participate in all activities. But if given more time to think and prepare, they can perform even better.Apart from all the above, there are also some problems noticed and some experience and lessons learned. 1. Through prediction before class, I can have a better control in time so as to ensure the completion of all the tasks in class. 2 The treatment of the text must vary based on the characteristics of the material, so as to innovate and make better use of it. 3 Questions to different levels should all be covered to cater for the needs of different students. 4 The teacher’s instruction must be as concise as possible and easy to understand, and remember not to repeat the question time to time. 5 Always remember to give students enough time to think 6. In some oral presentation, giving the students some evaluation standards can guide them to finish related activities more effectively.In the future, to make progress constantly, I will continue to reflect after each class and study more theoretical knowledge to guide my teaching.。
