And we also mastered some words and improved our reading and comprehensive skills. Later, we consolidated the knowledge by writing practice.Step6. Homework (1 minutes).1. Think about other ways that can help to save the pandas.2. Make a poster（海报）for WWF.Part three：Teaching reflectionConsidering the main topic of this period, I led students to talk about their favorite animals so that they could pay their attention to the teaching material. Then I introduced some facts about pandas as well as the new words by showing students pictures and a short video. Students were active during this part and they wanted to know more about pandas. So we came to the reading naturally. While reading, I also introduced students two reading strategies—scanning and mind map by asking them to do some tasks. During this part, most of the students did very well and they finished those tasks quickly and correctly. After reading, I asked students to finish the paragraph related to whales protection by setting up a situation. Since time limited, I only invited one group to show their work in front of the class. So I will try my best to invite more students to share their pieces next time.。
