Unit 3 Communication Workshop
教材分析
本课是北师大版《初中英语》九年级教材第3单元的Communication Workshop部分。是一节写作输出课，学生通过学习一篇描述我国著名科学家王选的文章，结合自己的实际情况，完成写作任务。在本单元的前3课，学生已经通过听力和阅读活动，进行了语言学习和初步应用，即使用连词和表达观点的句型描述你最喜爱的发明家。本课是单元学习内容的综合运用与输出，侧重语言的体验与应用，结合话题，培养写作和口语表达能力。在本课，学生要以书面的形式写一篇记录自己最钦佩的科学家或发明家的文章。
对此话题学生并不陌生，但是如何运用更丰富的语言和本单元学习的连词对人物的事迹进行描写则是学生面临的较大挑战。因此本课的教学设计分为两个课时。第一课时布置写作任务，在写作内容方面，学生结合在本单元话题下学习后的已有知识，如话题、词汇、句型等，充分表达自己的看法，并落实到笔头。在写作遇到困难时，通过勾画、小组讨论、全班分享等活动得以帮助，小组合作学习范文的写作内容及方法，用于进一步改写自己的文章。在写作中语言的使用方面，学生通过对范文的学习后，利用前三课所学语言知识对自己的文章进行进一步的丰富，最后初步完成写作任务。
第二课时在回顾任务的基础上，通过自评和互评的方式在原有的基础上逐步提高学生的认知程度。学生对自己的作文进行自评的同时逐步唤醒学生已有的旧知；互评是通过同伴的评价，结合新的知识，进一步找出自己作文的不足之处。最后设想，通过在小组内讨论并选出本组最佳作文的方法来体验、分享、感悟、总结写好一篇作文的方法。

（第一课时）
北京市第十中学 王正平学情分析 我校初三年级是由6个平行班组成，随着写作难度的增加，学生存在这两极分化的现象， 同时逐渐失去写作的动力。
在写作方面的特点：学生思维局限性较大，思路不开阔，所使用的句子通常为简单句，时态不能灵活运用，表达感受的句子极为贫乏。
话题特点：学生较熟悉
写作难点：如何运用更丰富的语言和本单元所学的连词等对自己所钦佩的科学家或发明家进行描述备课思考如何布置写作任务，让学生有更加强烈的参与感并更贴近学生的生活实际？
对于类似于我校的学生，如何更好的处理阅读文本与写作之间的关系？
写之前怎样激发学生的思维，如何引导？
对于基础较差的学生如何在语境中进行辅助词汇的呈现？
