Task(2): Writing an article about problems and solutions: Skills building 3优质课一等奖

教学片段18标题:

M6U2 What is happiness to you

Task Writing an article about problems and solutions (2) 学情分析:

1704班为文科班，优点：大部分学生学习态度端正，学习热情较高，比较积极地参与课堂活动。不足：因为语言积累的欠缺，大部分学生的语用能力有待训练和提高。因此在课堂中，教师尽量为学生创造学习需要和设置语用任务，帮助学生练习和提高语用能力。

教学目标:

By the end of this period, the students will be able to

1.figure out some solutions to Ma Jie’s problem;

2.write an article about Ma Jie’s problem and solutions.

3.have positive attitudes to help others. 教学重点与难点: writing a passage about problems and solutions 教学过程: Step 1 Lead-in

Present a video clip (Ma Jie is telling his problem and the attempts he has tried. He is asking for help.) and have students take notes down. Ma Jie’s problem:

Attempts he has tried: Task: Let’s write a letter to help him solve the problem.

Q: What do you think of his solutions/attempts? Do you have other suggestions? 【设计意图】

呈现出本环节的写作任务，让学生带着任务进行话题讨论，有的放矢。

Step 2 Discussing the solutions Learn how to give advice Guidelines (These will help make the students’ advice clearer.)

What to do

Why avoid judging

use positive, helpful language do not say, 'It's wrong for you to…”

give examples (mention a similar situation where your advice works) people will know how to use your advice be specific

give the advice that can help people to solve their own problem

people can be helped to solve their problems 【设计意图】

这是学习策略指导环节。教师指导学生提出建议时要注意的事项，注意语言的得体性。

Step 3 Writing Activity 1 Write the article The teacher shows guidelines on the screen:

⑴

Ma Jie’s problems

⑵

The possible solutions Ma Jie has thought of and the reasons why they didn’t work.

⑶

The advice you gave to Ma Jie. Have the students work in groups of four to discuss them and list what they should write in the article. Then the teacher divides the article into four parts. Each member writes one part. Put the four parts together to form the article. 【设计意图】

前几个步骤所学的内容，为学生的写作构建了整体的框架，提供了必要的写作点。在实质的写作阶段，采取个人写作和小组合作相结合，既能促进独立思考，又能发挥集体智慧。

Activity 2 Present their articles 【设计意图】

当堂展示成果，利用实物投影当堂纠错，提高效率。

Assignment 1.Polish the writing and hand it in. 2.Read the letter and try to reply to give her some advice. Dear Sir or Madam, I feel no one cares about me. My father and mother are always busy with working, so I often stay at home by myself. I feel very lonely. As my parents work so much, I have to clean the house and do all the shopping by myself. I am only a little happier at school when I stay with my classmates and friends. I feel bored all the time and I feel sorry for myself.

What should I do? I look forward to your advice. Yours

此环节是应用实践类活动。此部分的写作训练要求学生独立给朋友写一封建议信。这样把语言知识的巩固、阅读和写作技能的培养以及学习策略的运用有机地结合起来，能够培养学生综合语言运用能力。
