六、 教后反思
本节写作教学课是高一年级Book 4, Module 4 Great Scientists中 writing部分的内容，主要是让学生学习怎样描述伟大人物的生平事迹。在整体设计上服从专题教学要求。
Help the students learn how to write a passage about Albert Einstein.是我这节课的教学重点。为了让学生弄清并掌握写作方法，本节课运用“讨论式”的英语教学模式和采用“任务型”英语教学途径训练学生的写作。在教学中注重阅读与写作结合。借助于阅读、分析人物传记的例文，典范的文章，非常适用于“写”的指导。通过小组讨论，明确写作思路和方法，进而掌握写作技巧，让学生认识到运用写作技巧可以提高作文水平。同时，可以培养学生写作的自信心。从学生的写作练习中可见他们基本能够掌握这些方法。
设计亮点：
（一）、创设情境，复习导入。激活学生已有知识，奠定良好的情感基础。
（二）、教学环节设计科学，帮助学生拓展思路。能用合适的衔接语言和情境创造,使各个教学环节过渡自然。写前、写中和写后三部分思路清晰，主要围绕主问题How can we write the beginning of the passage? Why is Albert Einstein great? What is your opinion?展开教学，给学生独立思考的时间和思维空间，指导学生多角度去考虑问题，突显学生的主体意识。
（三）、板书设计得体。清楚体现本节课的学习重点，利于学生梳理写作结构和思路。
（四）、情感教育效果明显：作文与做人相结合，渗透理想、道德教育。
不足之处：
（一）、第一节课在高一、三班上时，在时间安排上有些前松后紧。前面学生说的太多了，所以后面的教学内容没有进行完，没有共同欣赏范文的时间。预设的和生成没有达成一致。
（二）、第二节课在高一、四班上时，在围绕中心，小组讨论选材环节，没有真正照顾到教室右后方第六小组的同学。他们没有打开思路，畅所欲言。
努力方向：
（一）、在听说课上，学生对伟大科学家的话题已经说的很多了，所以在这节课上只需引导学生把爱因斯坦的生平事迹说清楚，说具体，再指导学生学习伟人的伟大思想品德。这样，时间的预设的和生成就能达成一致。
（二）、关心每个学生特别是英语学困生，指导学生改进学习方法，提高学习能力。
