教学过程
Step Ⅰ 学习理解
活动一:获取与梳理
1.Show the picture to students and ask them who he is.
2.What do you know about Albert Einstein? Read the title and try to predict what the text is mainly about.
3.Read the text and complete the timeline. Then introduce Einstein’s life story and achievements in your own words.
Suggested answers:

1895 — Tried but failed to enter university in Switzerland
1896 — Entered university
1900 — Graduated from university
1902 — Took a job as a clerk in the Swiss patent office

1909 — Able to quit his job at the patent office and enter research full-time at a university
1922 — Awarded the Nobel Prize
1933 — Had to flee Germany
1955 — Died in the United States
4. In pairs,discuss the following questions.
·Apart from his remarkable achievements,what does the passage tell us about Einstein’s life?
·What impressed you most about Einstein? State your reasons.
Suggested answers:
·Though he was brilliant,he was also a person who faced struggles,for example,when he failed to pass his university entrance exam,when he failed to get a good job,and when he had to flee Germany.
·I am impressed most by how friendly and easy he was to approach. Even when he was busy and did not want to be bothered,he still found a way to deal with people in gentleness and good humour.
【设计意图】通过热身问题,引导学生积极思考;通过阅读课文让学生获取爱因斯坦的基本信息以及他取得的巨大成就,并让学生用自己的语言去描述爱因斯坦的经历以及成就;最后,通过讨论,交流两个问题,引导学生了解爱因斯坦的伟大之处,表达对爱因斯坦的敬佩之情,并给写作提供思路。
Step Ⅱ 应用实践
活动二:分析与判断
Study the organisation and language features.
·What type of writing is this text? How does the writer develop the text?
·Find the descriptions that tell us what Einstein looked like and what kind of person he was.
·What rhetorical devices are used in the passage? Give examples.
Suggested answers:
·The text is a biography,which is developed chronologically.
·He had a thick moustache…received an electric shock. Although he was a genius,… his friend’s birthdays. But despite… loved by his friends and neighbours. There is even a story… with her homework. In fact,… help explain things. After many such…“Pardon me! Sorry! Always I am mistaken for Professor Einstein!”
·analogy:as the new Isaac Newton;personification:(hair)stood on end;simile:as though he had just received an electric shock;metaphor:the doors of academic institutions;euphemism:passed away
【设计意图】通过该活动,旨在帮助学生分析语篇中的写作技巧,包括叙述顺序,描述性词汇的运用及修辞手法。
活动三:实战演练
1.Brainstorm.
Choose the person you are going to write about. It should be someone you think is great in some way. It can be an ordinary person,such as a parent, a relative, or a friend.
2.Make a list of things that need to be included in your introduction. Use the outline below to help you.
Part 1:Basic information about the writing ·What is the title of the writing? ·What is the main idea of the writing? Part 2:Your analysis of the writing ·What is the story of the great person? ·What achievements does he/she have? Part 3:Your opinion about the story ·Why do you think he/she is great? ·How do you feel about this person?
3.Use your notes to write your introduction.
【设计意图】本活动为写作实践,在写作前设计了头脑风暴活动,然后引导学生对全文结构做出设计,收集尽可能多的想法,列举重要内容,最后根据段落提示完成写作,旨在降低学生的写作难度,增强对写作的信心。
Step Ⅲ 迁移创新
活动四:批判与评价
1.Exchange your draft with a partner and use the checklist to help you review your partner’s draft.
√ Does the writer describe the person’s appearance and personality? √ Does the writer tell an impressive story of the person’s life? √ Does the writer say why the person is great? √ Does the writer sum up how he/she feels about this person?
2.Take your draft back and revise it.
3.Share your introduction with the rest of the class.
【设计意图】该环节通过小组合作,探讨作者是否对所选人物的外貌和性格做了详细介绍,人物故事介绍是否深刻,是否解释了此人的伟大之处,以及是否表达了自己的情感。对组内成员的草稿进行综合评价并与成员相互学习,加深对主题意义的理解和多元思维的培养,实现深度学习。
