Teaching material: Task: Skills building 3: writing a report on a visit Unit 3 Module 8
Type of lesson: writing
Teaching aids: projector & multi-media facility
Difficult points in learning:
1. Clear structure and well-organized information to make a complete report
2. Proper transition to make a coherent report
Analysis of teaching material:
An excerpt from Lesson 18 New Concept English Book 3: Electric currents in modern art displays a possible way
to describe exhibits in an art exhibition and a short passage from skills building 1 in Unit 3 Module 8 shows some
information to introduce an exhibitor. These two reading materials are chosen in the hope that students can get
some inspiration for their own writing.
Analysis of students:
Students have already learnt an e-mail about an art trip and practiced listening about instructions to report on a visit,
in which they have got some idea about what a report is like. In this learning period students will have an
opportunity to put what they have learnt into practice and write their own report.
