Based on your own daily study and life, compare the study and life in Chinese and British schools, and find out the similarities and differences between the two. Talk about your first impression of high school life, and have a preliminary perception of the study and life in the senior high school stage. Learning Objectives Analyze a funny story (Lost Identity) to understand its structure (setting, characters, plot, punchline). Extract details, answer comprehension questions, and identify language features. Plan and draft your own funny stories, applying structural elements (clear setting, character introduction, plot buildup, punchline) and language features (direct speech, vivid descriptions). Explore how funny stories reflect cultural values of wit, irony, and relatable situations (e.g., airport delays, customer-service conflicts). Understand that humour often arises from shared cultural experiences, fostering a sense of community. Break down Lost Identity into structural parts (setting, characters, plot, punchline), analyzing how each element contributes to humor. Evaluate language choices (direct speech, descriptions) to understand their impact on narrative engagement. Use “story structure analysis” and “writing scaffolding” strategies. By independently planning stories, drafting narratives, and revising drafts, students take ownership of learning.
