上海牛津版初一年级写作课(How can we write about a person)教学设计

上海牛津版初一年级写作课(Howcanwewriteaboutaperson)的教学设计----凤溪中学沈秋瑾教材分析根据《英语课程标准》要求，初中阶段学生在“writing”的语言技能上应该能根据要求写短文，能在文中对人物等作简单的描述和议论。7B课本的前几个单元中有三个单元都涉及到了对人物的描述，但在具体的课堂教授过程中从未系统地就写作技巧进行学习。而本课综合并整合了这三个单元的内容及学生过去已有知识，以Howcanwewriteaboutaperson?”为中心话题，通过比较、造句、合并句子、小组合作、欣赏等方式，学习基本写作技能并学会欣赏美文。学情分析对于一般七年级下的学生而言，在经过小学和初中一年半的学习之后，已经具备一定的英语基础，基本能使用恰当的单词或词组来修饰人物的外貌、工作、性格等，能在文中运用个别连接词将一部分内容连接起来。而对于我们班的学生，由于普遍基础较差，在写作表达中大多只能用简单句来描述人物，有些甚至都不知道该写些什么内容、用什么单词或词组来修饰、如何用完整的句子来表达、怎样把句子连接起来以组成一篇文章等等。对于可能出现的困难，我想可以从以下几个方面去解决。首先，通过创设情境、给予提示、设计对话等形式，让学生知道并自己总结写作内容。给予学生一些常用于写人的单词及词组，让他们熟记并鼓励他们运用于句子中。归纳出常用的连接词，使学生在不断的练习和运用中熟练掌握，并有意识地在写作中使用，连接上下文。教学目标通过本节课的学习，能用已学过的词组使句子更优美，如能用begoodat,beinterestedin,befriendlyto,bebusydoing,takecareof等词组来描写人物的特长、兴趣爱好、性格等。能使用一些常用连接词but,although,also,if,when等将简单句变为复合句，为写作增加亮点。能根据所给图片、词组、问句等提示，写出一篇连贯的文章。通过对比和讨论，会欣赏优美的作文。重点难点由于本节课的话题是谈论如何写人。根据课程标准的要求，学生能在文中对人物等作简单的描述和议论，因此本节课教学重点如下：运用begoodat,beinterestedin,befriendlyto,bebusydoing,takecareof等词组来描写人物的特长、兴趣爱好、性格等。2.通过不断练习，能在写作中运用but,although,also,if,when等连接词。考虑到本班学生的基础情况，本节课的教学难点设置如下：运用Fromthenon,asweallknow,besides等词衔接上下文，使作文更流畅。有意识地为文章加上beginning和ending，并分层次进行写作。课前准备提前一天让学生写一篇以“myfavouriteperson”为题的作文。多媒体课件。教学活动中用来比较的两篇作文“mymother”及作为示范的作文“Myfavouriteperson----LiuXiang”。教学过程Warming-up:Lookatsomepictures.Thisactivityreviewstheadjectivestodescribeaperson教师活动：Teachershowssomepicturesofsomefamousstarsandasksthestudents:’Whodoyoulikebest?Whatdoyouthinkofthem?’学生活动：Studentslookatthepicturesandanswerthequestions:‘Ilike…best.He/Sheisbeautiful/hardworking/helpful/tall…’设计意图：以学生熟悉的明星激起学生学习的兴趣，通过对自己喜爱明星的描述复习修饰人物的形容词。Pre-taskStep1Askandanswer:Howmuchdoyouknowaboutyourfavouriteperson?S1:Whatdoeshe/shelooklike?S2:He/Sheistall/short,old/young,strong/weak,beautiful,handsome,good-looking……S1:Whatishe/shegoodat?/Whatishe/sheinterestedin?S2:S1:Whatdoeshe/sheoftendo?S2:S1:Whatdoyouthinkofhim/her?S2:He/Sheisfriendly,kind,helpful,hard-working,clever,warmhearted（热心的）,lovely……教师活动：Teachersays,‘Youallhaveyourfavouriteperson.Hemaybethestarinthepictures,ormaybesomeonearoundus.Hecanbeafriendoroneofourparentsorrelatives.Howmuchdoyouknowabouthimorher?’,thenasksstudentstodothepairwork.学生活动：Studentstalkabouttheirfavoritepersonswiththeirpartners.设计意图：通过对话和提示，让学生知道可以从哪几方面来写人。Step2Conclude:Whatcanwewriteaboutaperson?1.appearance（外貌）2.character（性格特征）3.hobby,specialty（爱好，特长）4.habit（生活习惯）5.age,nationality,jobandsoon（年龄，国籍，工作及其他）教师活动：Teacherinstructsstudentstoconclude.学生活动：Studentsthinkandanswer,thenconcludetheaspectswecanwriteaboutapersonbythemselves.设计意图：通过对前面对话内容的回忆，对写人作文的内容有个大致的构想，并加以总结。While-taskStep1Comparetwocompositions.MymotherMyfavoritepersonismymother.Sheisabout40yearsold.Shelooksveryyoung.SheisanEnglishteacherinamiddleschool.Herlessonsaregood.Herclassisveryinteresting.Sheispopularamongthestudents.Theyallenjoyherclass.Sheisagreatmotherathome.Everyday,shedoesthehousework.I’mill.Shetakescareofme.I’msad.Shewillmakemehappy.Shelovesme.Iloveher,too.MymotherMyfavoritepersonismymother.Sheisabout40yearsold,butshestilllooksveryyoung.SheworksasanEnglishteacherinamiddleschool.Shespendsalotoftimeonherlessonsandherclassisveryinteresting,sosheisverypopularamongthestudents.Theyallenjoyherclass.Sheisalsoagreatmotherathome.Everyday,sheisbusywiththehousework.ShealwaystakesgoodcareofmewhenI’mill.IfI’msad,shewilltalkwithmeandtrytomakemehappy.ShelovesmeandIloveher,too.教师活动：Teachergiveseachstudentasheetandasksstudentstofindoutthedifferencesbetweenthetwocompositions,letstudentschooseabetteroneandtellthegoodpointsofit.学生活动：Studentsreadthetwocompositionsandfindoutthedifferences,andthenchooseabetteroneandtellthereasons.设计意图：在两篇相似作文的对比下，学生很容易发现优秀作文的特点，由此引出本课的重点：恰当的词组和运用合理的连词能使写作更加完美。Step2Makesentenceswithsomeusefulphrases.begoodat;beinterestedin;befamousfor;beknownas;bekind/friendlytosb.;bebusywith/doingsth.;helpsb.dosth.;helpsb.withsth.;takecareof;lookafter;beneverlatefor;practisedoing;startdoing;workhard;workas…;……教师活动：Teacherlistssomeusefulphrasesthatcanbeusedtodescribeaperson,asksstudentstomakesentenceswiththesephrasesandprovidessomepicturesforreference.学生活动：Studentslookatthepicturesandtrytomakesentenceswiththephrasesorsaysomethingabouttheirfavouriteperson.设计意图：这一环节主要是帮助学生复习已学过的词组，并且指导学生将这些词组运用到写人的作文中。为了照顾到所有学生，特别在呈现词组的同时，展现一些有关生活情景的照片，能让学生在复习词组用法的同时，丰富写作内容，同时也让基础较差同学能有内容可说。Step3Puttwosentencesintoonewiththelinkingwords.1.Heisagoodteacher.Heisagoodfriend.Heisbothagoodteacherandagoodfriend.2.Sheisnotclever.Shestudiesveryhard.Althoughsheisnotclever,shestudiesveryhard.Sheisnotclever,butshestudiesveryhard.3.Tomlivesneartheschool.Hegoestoschoolonfoot.Tomlivesneartheschool,sohegoestoschoolonfoot.BecauseTomlivesneartheschool,hegoestoschoolonfoot.……教师活动：Teachershowsstudentssomesimplesentencesandasksstudentstoputtwointoone.学生活动：Studentsputsimplesentencesintocomplexonesaccordingtothepicturesfirstandthendomorepractices.设计意图：这一步是让学生学会把文章中零碎的简单句按照一定的逻辑关系用连接词串连起来，使语言更流畅。Post-taskStep1Groupdiscussion:Lookatthepicturesandwriteacompositionwithsomephrasesgiven.Myfavoritestar----LiuXiangstartpractisingrunning;getthefirstprizeatthe
