Unit 2 We Are Friends
Period 3 Reading and Writing II
Teaching Analysis
【Textbook Analysis】
This is the third period of Unit 2 "We Are Friends", focusing on grammar (Present Simple agreement) and writing about friendship rules. The grammar component builds on students' understanding of subject-verb agreement from Unit 1, now applied to friendship contexts. The writing component guides students to create their own friendship rules based on reading models, developing practical writing skills for personal expression.

They have read about friendship rules and now need to express their own rules in writing.

【Reflection】
The connection between grammar and meaningful writing works well. Need to provide differentiated support: sentence starters for struggling writers, expansion prompts for advanced writers. Peer review needs modeling and clear guidelines. Some students may share personal stories - create safe environment. Displaying work builds pride. Consider allowing rule creation for fictional friendships if students prefer privacy.
