Welcome Unit Period 2 Reading and thinking 教案

教材分析:

The reading passage titled First Impressions briefly describes Han Jing’s feelings on her first senior high school life. Faced with freshmen in new senior high school, the teacher is expected to encourage students to talk more about their own feelings about their first day of senior high school, largely due to the fact that new students probably have the similar feelings to Han Jing.
