Step 1 Before writing
1. Lead-in: Pictures
2. The classification of notice
邮件书信通知; 口头广播通知; 黑板报/电子屏通知
【设计意图:紧扣主题,用学生熟悉的话题作为预设教学目标的情境载体导入,创造生动活泼有趣的课堂氛围,激活学生已有的知识和经验,引出话题】
Step 2 During writing
Planning your writing
Major points.
(1)书面通知较之口头通知所使用的句式要复杂些。书面通知可以将若干的信息通过一个句子表达出来,而口头通知则可以分为几个句子表达。
例:请准时到会。
口头:Be sure not to be late.
书面:Everyone is required to be present on time.
(2)通知的语言要简明,条理清晰,要求明确,特别是时间概念很重要,必须写得十分明确,不容丝毫含糊。
(3)通知是要告诉大家即将进行的活动,因此其主要时态是一般将来时。
(4)为避免命令之嫌,通知中常采用被动语态或“please+祈使句”表示要求。
如:All teachers are required to meet in the school meeting room at 4 pm on Friday to celebrate Teachers' Day.
Please be there on time.
2.Learning about the language
T guides the students to analyze the requirements:
