初中英语
八上8A Unit 6 Main task
Teaching objectives
To learn to organize ideas for writing an article for the school newsletter
To write an article about natural disasters
Teaching procedures
Step 1 Lead-in
1. Explain the context. Sandy wants to write an article about a natural disaster for the school newsletter. She wants to write about the snowstorm that hit Beijing this week. Let’s help her, OK
2. Show some pictures about the snowstorm. Talk about them with the whole class and encourage students to make some sentences according to these pictures and key words provided beside each picture.
e.g. A snowstorm hit Beijing on Friday, 28th January.
People shared umbrellas with others.
Sandy and Millie lost their umbrella in the wind.
People could only walk slowly in the snow.
People were working hard to remove the snow. Explain ‘remove’ is a verb. It means ‘move away’.
Step 2 Writing structure
1. Ask students to think about how we can organize these ideas to describe the snowstorm. Tell them planning ahead carefully is very important to create a powerful piece of writing. We can make flow charts to help organize our ideas before we start writing.
2. Point out when we want to write an article, first of all, we should choose a topic, we should decide what to write about. This time we are going to write about a snowstorm. There should be three main parts in such an article: Introduction, during the snowstorm, and after the snowstorm.
3. Students talk about what should be written about in each part in groups.
4. Show them some questions and say these questions can help them organize their ideas.
5. Do a pair work. Ask students to turn to Page 105 ,read through the questions in Part B carefully and try to find out the answers in Part A.
They should finish two tasks. Task 1, ask and answer these questions orally with their partner. For example, A: When and where did the snowstorm happen B: It hit Beijing on Friday, 28th January.
Task 2, write the correct letters in the boxes to complete the flow chart.
Then invite some pairs to ask and answer these questions in front of the class.
6. Say we have helped Sandy complete her flow chart. Now let’s help her complete her article for the school newsletter. Ask students to complete Part C on page 106.
7. Analyze the structure of this article with the whole class. Ask them to match the four paragraphs with the three main parts of this article.
Then make a conclusion: Para 1 is the introduction of the snowstorm. Para2 and 3 describe what happened during the snowstorm. And Para 4 describes what happened after the snowstorm.
Step Three Practice
1. Say we have helped Sandy complete an article about a snowstorm. Ask students to write an article about a natural disaster by themselves
2. Show some pictures about different natural disasters. Ask students to choose any one they would like to write about.
3. Ask students to work in groups of four. First, each group chooses a topic to write about. Then talk in groups. Brainstorm ideas about the natural disaster and write them down. Next, Sort out their notes into a flow chart as in Part B. Last, discuss their notes with others and share their flow charst with their group members.
4. Ask some individuals to show his/her flow chart and talk about it with the whole class.
5. Tell the class an outline can help they produce a good piece of writing. Show them how to draft an outline. Remind them when they are writing , the useful expressions in Part D on page 106 may be helpful. They can also search the Internet for more information.
6. Students complete their articles.
