Analysis of the teaching material: |
This lesson is a combination of textbook and picture book. We can help students use some reading strategies to understand the text, and then write an email about themselves to reply Robin. Picture book is used as supplementary reading material for the textbook. It can sublimate the emotion and help students understand the meaning of friendship. |

However, it's still a little difficult to use the divergent thinking to comprehend something beyond the story itself.
