主题语境:人与自我------生活与学习主题群下的学校生活
语篇类型:一篇记叙文
文本分析:
[What]
这篇记叙文以第一人称叙述了Adam作为高一新生所要面临的挑战:如何选课、如何选择课外活动、初、高中生活的不同之处以及面临这些挑战时作者的心态。
[Why]
该语篇从选课、选择课外活动、心态调试等方面,叙述了作者从初中升人高中后面临的种种不适与挑战,心态从迷茫、不高兴焦虑到快乐、积极应对,旨在帮助学生认识到初高中学习和生活等方面的差异、面临的挑战和应该树立的目标,积极思考并寻找解决办法、调整心态,帮助学生形成正确、乐观的态度以应对初高中生活衔接的不适。
[How]
该语篇以学生刚从初中升入高中会遇到的问题这种真实情境为依托,每一段有一个主题句,每段有主干句型复现“
I
had
to.,
I
know.。”使得文章脉络清晰,内容分布合理;通过使用“
First,too,stil”使得文章行文逻辑联系紧凑。

【设计意图】本环节属于迁移创新阶段,设计了写作的活动,将语言的理解和表达紧密结合起来。在对文章进行浅是和深层阅读理解之后,学生创造性地模仿和使用所学的语言和语篇,以及所学知识对自己的启发进行合理表达。在真实的语境和用语言解决实际问题的驱动下,学生的创造性和想象力得到极大激发,真正实现了
learn
to
read和

to
learn的有机结合。本单元的写作也正好是建议信,可以提前热身。
