◆Analysis of the students

As Senior 1 students, they are interested in hot topics at home and abroad. They hold the enthusiasm to find out a hot phenomenon (the spreading of fake news), analyze its reasons & harm, and finally propose some useful solutions. However, lack of cultural awareness (which is a long- term ability training) may keep them from offering practical answers. What’ more, having a relatively small vocabulary may become their obstacle to express opinions accurately, which needs the teacher’s help.

Considering the teaching material and the students, I think the following teaching aims should be included.

The aims of knowledge

Learn the scientific methods of finding out a phenomenon (the spreading of fake news), analyzing reasons & harm as well as proposing solutions.

The aims of ability

Cultivate the students’ ability of critical thinking through individual work, pair work and group discussions.

Inspire students to pay attention to the accuracy of language they use when discussing.

The aims of emotion

In this class, I will share the story of kidnapped Nigerian girls to show students that spreading fake news can even threaten one’s life, which helps to arouse students’ sympathy as well as the importance of stopping fake news. Also, I’d like to raise their awareness of speaking truth. They will learn fake news may be easy, cheap and thrilling while truth may be hard, expensive and boring. However, truth never hurts innocent people.

The teaching focus and the difficulties

The teaching focus and the difficulties of this period are how to:

1. enhance students’ ability of teamwork and critical thinking;

2. help students to use language accurately.
