Teaching
methods
/
strategies
The
Social-constructivist
theory
represented
by
Vygotsky
emphasizes
interaction
and
engagement
with
the
target
language
in
a
social
context
based
on
the
scaffolding.
In
other
words,learning
is
best
achieved
through
the
dynamic
interaction
between
the
teacher
and
the
learner
and
between
the
learners.
In
stage
1,
T
provides
the
first
scaffold,
a
brainstorm
about
the
black
hole
and
ask
questions
to
activate
their
prior
knowledge.
In
stage
2,
when
reading
the
material,
T
gives
Ss
the
second
scaffold,
some
prompts
help
them
summarize
what
information
should
be
included
in
a
biography,
and
then
reveals
it
includes
his/her
major
findings,
amazing
thoughts,
his
personal
life,
experience
and
the
process
of
his
exploration.
In
stage
3,
give
some
information
which
are
needed
to
write
a
biography,
this
is
the
third
scaffold.
Meanwhile,
these
activities
help
Ss
learn
the
outline
of

Simple
Man
of
Great
Achievement
Albert
Einstein
was
probably
the
most
brilliant
scientist
of
the
twentieth
century.
Born
in
Germany
on
March
14,
1879,
Albert
Einstein
was
a
great
scientist.
By
the
time
he
was
14
years
old,
he
had
learned
advanced
math
all
by
himself.
In
1905,
he
received
a
doctor's
degree
and
began
his
research
and
studies
which
led
to
a
new
discovery.
In
1921,
he
won
the
Nobel
Prize
for
physics.
Not
only
did
he
work
in
physics,
but
also
he
worked
hard
for
human
rights
and
progress.
All
through
his
life,
he
led
a
simple
life.
He
was
fond
of
music
but
cared
little
for
money
and
fame.
He
has
made
great
contributions
to
the
world,
making
himself
one
of
the
greatest
scientists.
We
can
learn
a
lot
from
him.
Designing

know
their
merits
and
shortcomings
and
encourage
them
to
learn

expressions
from

By
reading
the
possible
version,
Ss
can
learn
more
about
the
structure
of
writing
a
biography
and
reinforce
their
comprehension
of
great
scientist
and
achievements
and
learn
the
spirit
from

Designing
purpose
1.By
summary,
the
students
can
have
a
deeper
impression
on
the
the
writing
skills.
And
consolidate
the
understanding
of
the
spirit
of
the
great
scientist.2.An
after
class
writing
can
further
train
the
students’
writing
skills,
meanwhile
they
can
acquire
more
information
about
the
scientist,
and
satisfy
their
desire
to
learn.
Teaching
reflection(教学预测/课后反思)：
This
class
is
about
writing.
The
main
content
of
writing
is
about
a
biography.
Based
on
the
actual
situation
of
students:
some
students
are
afraid
of
writing,
while
some
students
feel
that
there
is
no
words
to
write,
and
even
some
of
the
students
lack
of
vocabulary.
Therefore,
before
writing,
let
the
students
participate
in
the
group
discussion
to
complete
the
composition
outline
and
the
main
points
with
the
partners,
so
as
to
further
complete
the
writing
task
of
the
writing.
This
will
reduce
the
difficulty
of
writing
,
and
also
cultivate
the
spirit
of
cooperation
with
their
classmates.The
inadequacy
of
this
lesson
is
that
in
the
discussion,
some
students
do
not
communicate
in
English,
but
speak
in
their
native
language
and
then
translate
them
in
English.
To
remind
students
that
composition
is
not
a
word
for
sentence
translation.
