Go For It 7A Unit 8 Section B 1a-1d
Analysis of teaching material
What: This unit introduces students to the thematic category of “life and learning” within the context of “man and self”. It necessitates that students manage their time. This listening material is a conversation between John and Sally about time management. John is filling up his calendar by asking Sally questions during their conversation.
Why: In this conversation, John is managing his time with the assistance of his friend Sally. It is used to consolidate previously learned grammar knowledge about dates and to foreshadow the reading material in part 2b. Furthermore, it provides students with an excellent opportunity to raise their awareness of time management.
How: This conversation follows a certain logic. John began the conversation politely by asking, “Can I ask you some questions?”, which served as the catalyst for the subsequent communication. The second question related to Sally’s birthday is the essential knowledge in prior lessons. Then their dialogue assists students in transferring from asking about birthdays to other events. Furthermore, the dates mentioned in this material span September and October, encouraging students to plan ahead of time.
