Say some words about positive personalities 

At first, students can lead into the topic fluently without my expectation, they not only said the words that I need in this class, but also said some words that we just learned.

Stimulate

这部分学生能够比较快速的进入角色，能够迅速激发脑子里的已有知识，对下一步的学习有铺垫作用

It is easy for them to answer these fast-reading questions.

Detail-

reading

1. Read the passage again and fill in the blanks about the father’s personalities by discussing with partners

2. Fill in the changes of the writer’s feelings towards his father

1. Students can say about personalities with the sentences

2. Students can grasp the writer’s feelings towards his father

Without my expectation, they find out the questions so easily. I plan to give them 15 minutes to finish this part, which is the theme of this class. But they finish it even in 7 minutes. And the students are quiet. So I add a question, which is to explain your understanding of the adjectives that you fill in.

Analyze, Inference and conclude

这部分，我打算给他们15分钟充分讨论。但是到了五分钟，大部分同学已经讨论结束。但是我意识到他们只是完成了PPT上的形容词，没有具体深入理解这个形容词到底表现在文中的哪个方面。

改进：问题设计可以更加全面。补充一些问题可以让学生们更加充分的理解文章。

Extension

Understand the last sentence of this text

Fully understand the title

Students fail to have a deep understanding of the last sentence. Besides, they don’t know there are some connections between the last sentence and the title of the article

Inference and conclude

这部分，学生不能很好地理解最后一句话的真正含义。也不能理解这句话和文章标题的关系。虽然最后在启示下，能大概理解。但是耗时比较长。

改进：这块可以换种方法来处理。可以把标题空出来，让学生通过最后一句话来猜测什么是标题

Discussion

More and more students are faced with a heavy work at school, what do you want to change in your life?

Solve daily difficulties by changing the attitudes

As this topic is closely related to their daily life, they’d like to discuss it. But some of their ideas are not my expected answers. However, most of them said something about the topic closely.

conclude

因为话题很贴近他们的生活，大部分能根据主题说出自己的想法。
