Topic Unit 2 No rules, No order
Period Section B How can rules help us (project & plus reading)
Teaching Aims Cultural Awareness: Reflect on the cultural values behind rules (e.g., respect, responsibility, community spirit). Critical Thinking: Analyze the purpose of rules in different contexts (home/school) and evaluate their necessity. Learning Ability: Develop skimming and scanning skills to locate details in texts. Practice summarizing and paraphrasing rules. Language Proficiency: Use modal verbs (must, have to, can’t) to write rules and advice. Improve writing skills through structured letter composition.
Important points Students need to accurately apply modal verbs (e.g., must, have to, can’t) to formulate rules and use English structures (eg: Why not... / It’s important to...) to provide actionable advice. Students must analyze rules in contexts like home and school to reflect on their cultural significance (eg: respect, responsibility) and critically evaluate their purpose.
Difficult Points Students may struggle to move beyond viewing rules as mere restrictions. Teachers must guide them to recognize the dual nature of rules (constraints vs. constructive guidance) and analyze case studies (e.g., Eric’s letter) dialectically. Students might omit key components of an advice letter (e.g., empathy → explanation → suggestions → encouragement) or fail to use cohesive devices (First, Second, Remember) to organize ideas effectively.
