II. Teaching Procedure
Lesson type
Reading
Students
Class 6, Grade 8
Lesson duration
40 minutes
Analysis of the teaching material The text is a story about Tina and Tom, citizens from the planet Bird World, discovering
astronauts from Earth and their crashed spaceship. In the story, “aliens” are no longer some unknown beings from the universe but humans instead. Studying the text offers a great chance
for students to think about the possible relationship between humans and aliens.
Analysis of the students
Most students in Class 6 are interested in the topic because they are great fans of Star Wars and Avengers. However, they may have never seriously considered the human-alien relationship, although they can be creative sometimes. When it comes to reading, most students need more time than expected before they completely grasp the main idea and successfully infer the hidden meanings. They enjoy working in groups yet prefer to use Chinese in discussion.
