Unit2 summary
本單元的中心話題是 新聞媒體，包括新聞傳播的種類，新聞采訪與報道，新聞話題，新聞閱讀等。
奧運會剛剛結束，學生們仍然沉浸其中，無疑用奧運導入本單元是最佳選擇，新聞媒體充斥在每一個角落，本單元幫助我們對之進一步深入了解。
語法部分是關于過去分詞用作定語和表語。從初中起，學生們就對分詞有所了解，但不會靈活使用，我的重點放在調動他們的積極性去使用。
本單元教學最深的體會：設計貼近學生實際的問題讓其討論效果最佳。我的問題是：要想成為一名記者，需要什么基本素質？文科班對記者行業很感興趣，所以發言踴躍。效果很好。
不足之處：integrating skills 設計的不是太好，文章很短，花費時間太多。
