According to the scaffolding teaching method, in this class, the teacher is supposed to help students grasp the main idea of the text and lead the step to be productive in a summary writing.

Analysis of teaching material

The reading material is from NSEFC module 5 unit 3 using language, of which the topic is life in the future. The passage mainly covers three innovative inventions in the future, which requires students to imagine. The material consists of many new words; while the purpose of the class is to write, the teacher can’t pay much attention on the new words, thus a necessary preview. The text doesn’t have much hidden meaning between lines, plus a clear structure, a summary writing is suitable and also meet with new requirements of the English examination in NCEE.

Analysis of learners

The learners of this class are from grade 2 in Fenghua High School. As grade-two students, they have managed some strategies and enough vocabulary to help them understand the passage. They are easily motivated and want to air their opinions on the topic. They are familiar with the topic after finishing reading period.
