Instructional Design for M 11 Unit 4 Legends of Ancient Greece Using LanguageⅡ--writing Yiling Senior High School

Yue Dongya

设计思路：这节课我通过创设故事情境，以故事主线即希腊友人Joy对中国宜昌的传统文化及故事感兴趣为依托，自然地导出教学任务。同学们在Joy的帮助下，深入地了解了希腊文化，并通过讨论和编写对话来介绍宜昌传统文化的代表人物屈原和王昭君的故事；学会运用定语从句，名词性从句，非谓语，倒装或强调等较高级的句式写好“家门口”的故事。

设计特点：本节课为写作课，不同于传统的讲授式教学，此课以故事为主线，创造性地使用教材。把地方传统特色文化融入教材，不仅帮助学生了解希腊文化，拓展国际视野，培养跨文化交际意识。更重要的是，学生通过用英语讲好祖国故事，传承对中华民族传统文化的认识和热爱，抒发家国情怀。

ⅠAnalysis of the teaching material

This is the last period of the flipped lesson which covers writing in the fourth unit, Legends of Ancient Greece, Book 11.There is no fixed material in the book, thus urging me to search for some interesting and doable content with local characteristic. I base the lesson on a storyline which is about a reply to my Greek friend named Joy to introduce the legends of Yichang. I create the teaching material which can not only help students have a better understanding of western culture, broaden their international horizon, but appreciate ,propagate our local traditional culture ,build up the cultural self-confidence and the emotion of“family-country”. ⅡAnalysis of the students

So far the students have been equipped with enough English words and useful expressions, which enable the students to complete challenging tasks and express themselves in a logic way. Therefore, they can rewrite some sentence and polish the writing by using advanced words and complex grammar structure, such as attributive clause, nominal clause, non-finite verb, inversion or emphasis and so on. Ⅲ

According to key competences, namely language ability, thinking quality, culture awareness, and learning ability, the teaching objectives as follow: 1. Students can rewrite some sentences and polish the writing using advanced words, attributive clause, nominal clause, non-finite verb, inversion or emphasis and so on. 2. Students can use the techniques of critical thinking while writing and build up their own opinions by reflecting and comparing the useful tips of polishing writing. 3.

ability to express themselves, and lay a fundamental for introducing Chinese traditional culture.)
