Design Principles According to General Senior High School English Curriculum Standards (2017),the goal of English teaching was shifted to cultivate core competencies,which comprise language ability,learning ability,thinking capacity and cultural awareness.As the bridge linking curriculum content and curriculum goal,activity-based learning requires teachers to design a series of linear-advanced teaching activities,which aims to culminate in students’development of English subject core competencies.Guided by the idea,the teaching procedures in this lesson are designed,which cover different layers,namely learning and comprehension, practice and application,transfer and innovation. The thematic context of this unit is human being and society,with two clues.One is to appreciate the book Letters From Father Christmas,the other is to understand the spirit of Christmas:giving and loving.In this passage, under the guidance of the structure of book review and question chains,students can extract and construct factual information about Letters From Father Christmas,which integrates the learning of language,thinking and culture As well as the understanding of the factual information, the teacher should also consciously raise students’ awareness of understanding the true meaning of Christmas festivals—to feel love and express love for others.

Besides,they show great interest and passion in learning English so that they are actively engaged in classes. Before unit 2,they have been already exposed to the basic information of book review,but they may find difficult to recall details of it.Another point is that some students may have no idea of the book Letters From Father Christmas,which requires the teacher to introduce some information about the author to let students have a better understanding.
