“Unit 3 Is this your pencil?" can be divided into two parts：section A and section B . Section A principally talks about how to claim the ownership and learn some school things around us. Section B mainly talks about the Lost and Found notices and how to find out the lost things around us using the Lost and Found notices.“Unit 3 Is this your pencil?" follows the National English Curriculum and involves listening, speaking, reading and writing. In addition, many activities can be performed about this unit. Last, the topic is close to students' life so students are familiar with the topic. 

As this topic is closely related to their personal life, students are supposed to be more familiar with this teaching content and would be more interested in the lesson. These factors would be conducive to a lively class in which students provide timely and effective responses.
