四、教学过程
3a. To prepare Ss to write using the target language.
Making notes
Tell Ss that the chart in the textbook is a good way to start making notes about what they need to write about. It is always a good idea to think about the subject matter and make notes.
Tell Ss that even if they don’t have a chart to guide them, they should make it a habit to make quick notes.
3b. To provide Ss with writing practice using the target language.
One lucky, one unlucky
To avoid having to many stories of one type, ask Ss which they will be writing about before they actually start writing. If there really many of one type (lucky or unlucky), ask Ss in this group if any of them have a different story to tell, encourage them to make the switch.
Next, pair up Ss.
Sample writing:
My lucky day
I will always remember that the date February 24, 2014.this was the luckiest day of my life.
When I woke up that morning, the sky was very dark. I took the early bus to school as usual. As soon as I arrived at school, it started to rain very heavily. Many students were late and all wet when they got to school. But I wasn’t because I caught the early bus, I would have been late and wet as well!
Later that day, I realized that I had forgotten my wallet and couldn’t buy lunch. I couldn’t believe it.
Then my friend Lisa said that she could share her lunch with me.
Finally, my older brother told me that night that he could take me to the concert that I’d been dying to attend that weekend. I was so happy!
I think that was the best day I’d had in a long time.
What a lucky day!
