8A M4 The best way to travel
整体设计思路
本节课是写作复习课,写作主题为“The best way to travel”。本课的写作任务是请学生帮忙回复外国友人的邮件。写作任务贴近学生的生活实际,具有较强的交际性。在整个写作过程中,教师引导学生列举日常出行方式、表达乘坐不同交通工具的感受、对比不同交通工具的特征、明确特定线路(衢州—舟山)的优缺点并提出合理的建议,最后按照对比“对象”组织成文。该写作任务要求学生在书面表达中做到内容清晰、结构完整、语言达意、逻辑连贯。写作过程不仅是语言知识、语言技能的学习,也是促进学生熟悉我们的交通系统,感受交通便利,培养今后对交通发展的兴趣。
