教学过程
Step 1: Introduction of learning aims
First, Teacher introduces the learning aims. They are as follows: at the end of the class, students will be able to plan and organize for writing; they’ll be able to write according to the structure & criteria; they’ll be able to evaluate according to the criteria; They will be able to use A.R.M.S. and C.U.P.S to revise their writing.Step 2: Introduction of the writing task Then, Teacher introduces the writing task. ---National Geographic is collecting the best articles about protecting an animal in danger from students. As students, what can you do to help protect them We will choose the most effective articles which can arouse most students to join in the activities to protect the animal in danger. Step 3: Introduction of writing methodNext, Teacher introduces the writing method called P.O.W.E.R. P stands for planning. O stands for organizing. W stands for writing. E stands for evaluating. R stands for revising.
In the following lesson, they will focus on how to plan first.Step 4: Planning Teacher will guide Ss to focus on four parts—topic, readers, purpose and contencts.After reading the task carefully, students may understand the writing task more clearly according to the four parts.
They may conclude that the topic is to protect animals in danger. The readers are the students who want to help animals. The purpose is to call on more students to protect them. They should write the animals’ situation, analyze the reasons that cause their problem and say what they students can do to protect them.Next, Teacher guides them to plan for contents.
Teacher chooses the Polar Bear in Arctic as an example. Teacher guides Ss to think of two parts. One is “their situation”, the other is “what causes the problem”. They can know the polar bears are in danger and show the number of them. Second, they can list the reasons why they are in danger. They may be global warming, less sea ice, no enough food, etc. Teacher guides Ss to plan for contents.What they students can do may be: raise money, write articles to call on students, carry on activities to call on students and produce less carbon-dioxide to protect environment.Step 5: OrganizingNext, Teacher will present how to organize the writing.Teacher will choose the Polar Bear as an example. Teacher presents an outline which contains three parts—beginning, body and ending. As for beginning, Teacher will tell readers the polar bear’s situation first. For body part, Teacher will first analyze the reasons why they are in danger and then tell readers what we students can do to protect them.As for the ending, Teacher will call on students again to protect animals and environment.Step 6 WritingThen, Teacher will present how to write. Before writing, Teacher guides Ss to focus on the passage in the textbook to find out useful expressions.
Teacher guides students to find the infinitive structures. Here are three infinitive structures. They are the ones used as objects, the ones used as object complement and the ones used as adverbials of purpose. Teacher will also guide students to pay attention to the descriptions about the reasons and solutions. They will find the descriptions are very specific. Teacher will present the writing criteria as follows.
There are 3 parts: materials, contents and language.
The materials should be bases on the writing purpose.
The reasons and solutions should be specific.
As for language, we must pay attention to corrections. Use infinitive structures correctly. If students have a large vocabulary, and can use beautiful sentences, they will get higher scores. Now Teacher will guide students to write about the polar bear.Teacher shows her own example---Why they are in danger: Global warming is the main problem. There is less sea ice which makes it hard for polar bears to get food and they are losing their home.Then mention the tip for Ss---When we write about the reasons, they should be very specific.Teacher shows her own example---What we can do to protect them: As students, we should do what we can to help. We can raise money to protect the animals. We may also work to write articles to draw more students’ attention to the situation of polar bears. Thirdly, we can carry on activities to call on students to protect them, like holding painting competitions. More importantly, we should slow down the global warming by practicing low-carbon lifestyle to protect the environment on the earth. Then Teacher mentions the tip for Ss: Solutions should also be specific.Step 7 EvaluatingThen Teacher will present how to evaluate.Teacher shows a draft about elephant protection:The elephant, the largest animal on land, is in danger. The forests are getting smaller. Hunting for ivory is another main problem. The water they drink is polluted. All these problems cause the reduction of the elephant population. As students, we can also raise money to protect the elephants in danger. We may work to write articles to draw more students’ attention to the serious situation of them. Thirdly, we can carry activities to call on students to protect forests and stop pollution. We should try our best to help them.How to evaluate the draft Teacher guides Ss to check the criteria one by one, and check if they have obeyed all the rules, then try to improve their writing.Step 8 RevisingAs last, Teacher will introduce how to revise.First Teacher introduces a revising method---A.R.M.S.
Teacher introduces the meaning of the method---A stands for Add. R stands for remove. M stands for move, S stands for substitute. Teacher guides Ss to revise the draft with the A.R.M.S method. Ss can add a topic sentence at the beginning of the second paragraph--“we should do what we can to help”, so that the readers can quickly get the general idea for this paragraph.
As the first advice, Ss shouldn’t use“also”here. So they had better move “also” before “work”. And the whole paragraph is talking about elephant protection, so they can substitute “elephants” with “them”.The last sentence --“we should try our best to help them” has the same meaning with the topic sentence, so they had better remove it.Teacher introduces the other revising method—C.U.P.S. They need to pay attention to capitalization, usage, punctuation and spelling. Hunting for ivory is a complete sentence, so they should change the punctuation--comma into full stop. Then capitalize H, because it’s the beginning of a sentence.Third, the spelling of population is wrong. Fourthly, “carry on activities” is the correct usage. So they should correct the mistake.After revising, here’s a better draft, a better paragraph than before. Step 9 Sum up and tryTeacher guides Ss to sum up what they have learnt in this lesson. In this lesson, they have learnt the writing method P.O.W.E.R. and revising methods A.R.M.S. and C.U.P.S.
Then according to what they have learnt, choose one of the animals in danger to practice writing.
