I. Analysis of learners:
They are students of senior 1, who are learners of different comprehending levels.

(点评:对学生的适应性、学习需求等分析得很到位。学生学习本课在英语语言能力、英语知识等方面的起始状态的分析略显不足。)
II. Analysis of the teaching material:
The strange history of the Amber Room, a cultural relic, is told in the reading passage. It is written chronologically and the structure of the story is well–organized. The first paragraph is a good sample of how to describe an object while the other four paragraphs tell a story. The language in this passage is clear and simple. There are few long complicated sentences in it. Although there are some proper nouns, they ad dto no difficulty in understanding the passage if proper guidance is offered by the teacher.
Therefore the passage is designed to be taught in two periods. Period 1: Reading comprehension. Period 2: Learning how to write about a cultural relic and its history.
In order to help students to achieve more in Period 1, the ideas from Pre-reading part and Reading & writing part on Page 7 are combined with Reading part. (点评:对语料的分析较深刻,抓住了文章的特点,找到了施教点)
