II. Analysis of the students:
On the one hand, for the students in Grande seven, they have learnt English for a term. But it's the first time to contact the knowledge of the months and dates. We have learnt cardinal numbers in Unit 1 and Unit 7.Students have the conception of numbers. But it’s really difficult for them to distinguish the difference between cardinal and ordinal numbers. Teacher should guide students to find a easy way to compare them. Find and summarize the rules of the changes.
On the other hand, the students in Grade 7 are interested in English, but unsteady. They have strong curiosity but are unsatisfied with the simple repeat. And they are short of the ability of summary
