listening, reading and writing 设计意图：

本节课是一节为高二第二学期的学生设计的写作课，写作内容为申请信。高二第二学期的学生们已经具备了一定的综合运用语言的能力，和书信写作的基本知识。大部分学生在自己的作文中已经开始有意识的运用一些高级词汇和写出一些复合句，但是在平时批改作文的过程中我发现很多同学因为把大量的精力放在高级词汇和长难句的运用上从而忽略了作文的审题以及作文的构思，导致其作文不能很清晰的表达出自己的写作意图甚至跑题。所以本节课的教学过程并没有设计过多的让学生写或者修改句子的教学环节，而是通过听和读的语言输入让学生去学习和领悟一封合格的申请信应该包含的具体内容，以及作为一位应聘者应该如何在字里行间传达出自己的优势，然后再进行语言输出。最后通过打分评价表教会学生如何评价自己和他人的作文。

按照“用教材教，而不是教教材”的指导思想，本节课的听力文本和作文资料均在充分研究教参和教材的部分材料之后重新改变而产生，更贴近学生的生活，也更符合学生的英语学***。
