Appreciation
Step 1 Have students work in small groups to discuss the following questions: A3 (1) on Page 18. 1. What is the author’s attitude to parent-child tensions (The author believes parent-child tensions are natural and unavoidable. He argues that the two causes of these tensions are the physical and mental changes that teenagers go through. Although the changes can be stressful, the author thinks that teenagers and their parents can get along better by communicating with each other. He believes that everything will be fine in the end.) 2. What is the author’s purpose of writing this article (To help teenagers realize that parent-child tensions are normal and inform them of possible causes and solutions so as to have teenagers mentally prepared to go through adolescence as smoothly as possible.) 3. What is the tone of the article (It is informal, casual and easy to read.) 4. Why does the author write in such a way to address parent-child tensions (In this way, it is easier for the author to convince us not to panic when facing parent-child tensions and that things will turn out well eventually.) 进一步追问文本整体的What、Why、How,引导学生深入理解作者的写作态度、写作动机和语言风格。 10’ Group Work Class Work
Step 2 Have students work in groups to further analyze the details of the article. 1. Why does the author use “on the other hand” in Line 20 (By saying this, the author means that teenagers have two kinds of mental needs.) 2. What are the two kinds of mental needs that teenagers have (They have a new desire for independence and a continued need for their parents’ love and support.) 引导学生关注作者语言表达;启发学生感知辩证看待问题的思维习惯和表达策略。 5’ Group Work
