三、教學感言
在設(shè)計這節(jié)課時,我圍繞“寫”這一目標設(shè)計教學環(huán)節(jié)和任務(wù),以學生為主體,抓住學生的興趣,讓學生主動探究,合作互動,充分發(fā)展。
首先以學校的節(jié)日圖片導(dǎo)入,生動有趣,貼近學生生活,并借此進入節(jié)日話題并自由交流節(jié)日的慶祝方式、慶祝的人、慶祝時間。這一環(huán)節(jié)迎合了學生的興趣并激活了他們的生活經(jīng)驗,同時也是為“寫”這一目標服務(wù)的——寫作前我們要準備好寫作素材。有了這樣的鋪墊,下一步學習制定寫作計劃也就水到渠成了。
在處理范文的寫作提綱及文本時,筆者考慮到對于春節(jié)這一節(jié)日學生有大量的生活經(jīng)驗和感知,應(yīng)該尊重學生的已知。但是文章里面也有一些生詞是學生的未知,所以我讓學生先說說自己知道的,再來處理學生不知道的內(nèi)容。這一過程進行得非常順利,所以對于Millie的寫作提綱我沒有過多強調(diào)內(nèi)容,而是重點指出寫作前我們要準備好素材,明確我們要寫的內(nèi)容。這樣的處理也突出了對學生寫作的指導(dǎo)。
對于范文,我希望能在有限的時間內(nèi)利用好它,對學生進行清晰、有效的寫作指導(dǎo)。一篇好文章應(yīng)該內(nèi)容全面、結(jié)構(gòu)清晰、緊扣主題、語言優(yōu)美、句式多樣而連貫?;谶@樣的考慮,結(jié)合本單元的特點,我從結(jié)構(gòu)、字詞、句、句與句之間的連接這四個方面著手,結(jié)合題目中favourite一詞,設(shè)計任務(wù),層次清晰,步步推進,讓學生主動探究。扎實而又有效的寫作指導(dǎo)成了本節(jié)課的亮點。
