Writing Workshop
Learning Objectives
PART. 01
Understand the daily study and life of British middle school students by watching videos. Based on your own daily study and life, compare the study and life in Chinese and British schools, and find out the similarities and differences between the two. Talk about your first impression of high school life, and have a preliminary perception of the study and life in the senior high school stage.
Learning Objectives
Analyze a “for and against” essay on factory farming to understand its structure. Identify linking expressions and how they organize ideas. Plan and draft their own “for and against” essays, applying structural elements and language features. Organize ideas logically to present coherent “for” and “against” positions.
Explore cultural debates around food production (factory vs. organic farming). Learn about global cultural practices in agriculture and the impact of food production choices.
Break down the essay into structural parts (introduction, arguments, conclusion), analyzing how linking expressions connect ideas. In writing, innovate by choosing unique topics, framing arguments creatively, and using linking expressions to present original “for and against” perspectives.
Use “text analysis” and “essay-writing scaffolding” strategies. By independently researching data, planning essays, and revising drafts, students take ownership of learning.
