2019-2020学年度人教版必修五Unit 2　The United Kingdom Period 1Warming up and Reading教案

　　This unit centers on the United Kingdom, including its geography, especially the historical influence on geography, historical attractions and traditional festivals. The students should be encouraged to practice talking about countries.

　　The whole unit can be divided into seven parts: warming up, reading, listening and speaking, language focusing, reading and writing, grammar, and assessment.

　　In Warming up, there is a quiz for the students to do, which will arouse the students' interest in knowing about the detailed information about the United Kingdom. While checking the answers, the teacher can add more knowledge about the UK, to prepare the students for the following processes. In this part, the teacher should also help the students to deal with the new words and expressions that will appear in the Reading passage. Group discussion and brainstorming will be used in this period to help the students to communicate with each other using their previous knowledge.

In Pre-reading, the students are provided with three questions related to the UK, which can act as an introduction to the Reading passage.
