课时：第 5 课时 课题：Feeding Homeless Cats: Helping or Hurting
课型：说写融合课 设计者：
一、教学设计与说明
1. 教学目标
本课为本单元的第 5 课时，核心目标为引导学生参与“救助流浪猫的利与弊”话题的讨 论；能运用功能语言和得体的语言形式表达个人观点和理据；能根据交际场合和交际对象选 择恰当的语言形式如对话、研讨等表达个人的观点；能在口头表达中运用与主题相关的语词； 能根据提示和具体的情景语境，参与讨论并提出个人观点；能围绕“救助流浪猫的利与弊” 写 70-90 字的语段；能在书面表达中运用与主题相关的语词；能在书面表达中恰当使用衔接 手段表达逻辑关系。
2. 教学设计思路
作为本单元的综合运用板块，本课时的设计以培养学生的语言能力、学习能力、文化意 识和思维品质为目标，依托于本单元前四个课时已有的语言支架，通过创设真实情境，基于 是否应该喂养流浪猫这一话题，采用以说促写、以写助说、说写融合的教学流程，将说与写 的活动有机融合，达到说写一体的效果，激发学生辩证思维，培养学生说与写的表达性技能。
情境导入：通过头脑风暴调动学生思维，快速进入创设的真实情境中。通过小组自由讨 论以及互相提问的方式，对所得的写作素材进行分类整合，明确写作目的以及写作内容。通 过解读范例，引导学生完善检查列表，明白在议论文体的写作时如何阐述明确的观点，有逻 辑地组织论据，从而得到具有说服力的效果，为初稿的形成做好结构和内容方面的铺垫。学 生从中逐步培养获取与梳理、概括与整合的能力，这是获取、判断与分析的学习理解类活动。
思维导向：教师通过复现本单元前四个课时学习的知识与语言，引导学生用好前面学习 的语言和知识给予的支撑，指导学生根据自己的观点，选取恰当的论据，注意篇章结构和逻 辑衔接，形成初稿。通过要求学生圈划主题句、连接词等元素，帮助学生检查该段落是否做 到了论证详实，内容连贯，从中培养学生的写作策略和自学能力。这是表达、写出与掌握的 应用实践类活动。
评价导引：教师设定易操作的同伴评价量规，激发同伴评价的热情，小组之间进行互相 评分，使合作学习在写作教学的课堂中真实有效地发生。这是需要学生进行赏析与评价的迁 移创新类活动。而后组内讨论，并由组长进行范文的展示。这是将说与写的活动有机融合，
综合运用语言技能的活动。
基于话题的议论文段落写作不仅训练学生通过书面语表达进行真正的交际活动，把自己 的思想进行传递，同时以培育学生的辩证思维为目标。因此本课时的作业设计环节要求学生 换位思考，从动物的角度重新思考问题。同时，教师要求学生巩固课堂所学，完成知识迁移， 对课堂上完成的篇章部分进行延伸，增加开头结尾段落，以及补充观点段落，使之成为一篇 完整的议论文。
3. 教学重点及难点
教学重点：运用主题句、支撑细节以及衔接手段等写作策略完成观点段落写作任务。
教学难点：能合理运用量规进行自我评价；能辩证思考问题。
