This unit has no reading material, only two videos of example classes. The first shows the wrong way to conduct a class, with the teacher introducing difficult terminology and expecting the students to know it, when many native speakers don't intrinsically know what a 'modal auxiliary verb' is. He then berates the students for not knowing, setting up a confusing and unproductive class. The second video shows the same teacher using an example the students all know, animals, to introduce the modal auxiliary verbs without needing to give the students the term, which makes the class far easier. The teacher's attitude is also far more outgoing and positive in the second class, which puts the students at ease. Overall, the videos are good references for how to and not to conduct oneself in a classroom.
