Content: The third period of Unit 4 “Colors”

Analysis of the students:

   Students have learnt English for only about two months. They can greet each other and introduce themselves with simple sentences in English. For colors, they have learnt the words red, yellow, blue, green and brown , and the sentences What color? It’s blue. They are all the contents of  the students’ book. And as extension, children have learnt black, white, pink, purple, orange, and the sentences like It’s a yellow banana or The banana is yellow. This topic is related to the daily life. So it’s easy to arouse their interests and it involves language that students love to use in daily life.
