Unit6 Emails and Descriptions of Places (Writing)
溫州中學 蔡珍瑞
(一)教學分析
1. 教材分析
本課教學內容選自人教版選修(語言與知識技能類)《英語寫作》第六單元Emails and Descriptions of places的Reading部分An email from Lucy。 這篇文章以電子郵件的形式通過Lucy的視角描寫了北京的胡同,文章有詳有略,描寫性較強。作者簡單介紹了胡同的歷史和地理位置,將更多的筆墨放在胡同以及四合院的特點。為了突出這些特點,作者使用了一些具體的形容詞,如“high”“grey”“plain”“beautifully decorated”等,同時也增加了一些細節描寫,如“some of the lanes are so narrow that only one person can pass through at a time”等。
2. 學生分析
我的學生是高二的學生,他們具備一定的寫作能力。在描寫類文章的寫作中,他們有意識要使文章具體生動,但是他們的困難在于不知道如何使文章生動。目前,他們已經學完了必修的五個模塊,在這五個模塊中,他們讀過一些介紹或描寫地點的文章,如介紹英國的Puzzles in geography, 介紹主題公園的Fun and more than fun, 介紹加拿大的A trip on the true north等等。這為訓練描寫地點的寫作課積累了豐富的素材,筆者會在教學中對這些材料加以使用。另外,學生在寫作上也存在句式單一的問題,需要補充一些豐富的句型或結構,提升學生寫作語言水平。
3. 教學目標
1) 語言能力與學習能力
(1)發展閱讀能力:速讀并歸納胡同的各個方面以及提煉胡同和四合院的主要特點;通過賞析文章第三段到第五段作者對胡同和四合院的描寫,總結出作者通過使用具體的形容詞來添加細節使描寫更加生動的寫作技巧;通過研讀描寫地點的句子補充寫作技巧,即舉例子、提供數據以及通過側面描寫人的情感。
(2)發展寫作能力:能夠初步運用這些技巧生動地描寫自己的學校。
2)文化品格與思維品質
通過引導學生觀察文章語言,分析和比較不同描寫語句的異同,歸納作者寫作技巧及寫作意圖。
4. 教學重點與難點
本節課的重難點是賞析文章語言總結寫作技巧并運用寫作技巧進行寫作。
5. 教學思路
這是一節以讀促寫的讀寫課。教師基于學生對文本大意的理解,引導學生賞析作者描寫胡同的用詞和寫作手法。教師再呈現了一些學生曾經學過的關于地點描寫的句子并引導學生總結作者如何突出細節描寫,并找出作者組織語言增加細節的句型或語法結構。寫作之前中通過句子幫助學生初步運用寫作技巧,然后過渡到語篇的寫作練習?傮w思路如圖:
(二)教學過程
Step1 提出問題,明確目標
T leads into the topic by guiding students to talk about the school and made clear the learning aim of this period.
T: What do you think of our school? (Ss: Beautiful, large, quiet, modern, big…) T: Why do you think it is beautiful? How big?
T: I'm going to describe our school to my foreign friend Grace in an email. If my email goes like this....What do you think of my writing? (Ss: too general and not vivid enough. ) T: Then how to give a vivid description of a place? This is our learning aim today.
But what kind of description is considered to be "vivid"? (It can produce a clear picture in readers' mind.)
[設計說明] 通過學生熟悉的地點--學校導入話題,讓學生暢所欲言。通過追問,請學生提供細節從而引導學生發現自己寫作中存在的問題,由此明確本課的學習目標。在導入環節明確學習目標,使學生在接下來的環節有針對性地閱讀和思考,從而提高課堂效率。 Step2. 閱讀賞析,總結技巧
T leads the students to read the passage and guide them summarize the skill of making the descriptions vivid.
1. Read for the general ideas and details.
T: Let’s read and appreciate a passage describing hutongs in Beijing to see how the writer conveys a clear picture to us.
Read and answer the following two questions: a. What aspects of hutongs are introduced? b. What are the features of hutongs? Ss:(read the passage)
T: What do you know about hutongs after reading this email? (location) Ss: location/history… Ss:...
T: What are the third and fourth paragraphs about? (Houses in hutongs) T: What's the feature of the hutongs? S1: Narrow
T: how narrow?
S2: so narrow that only one person can pass at a time. S2: Others are wider?
T: What are these hutongs like? S2: lined with trees
T: Are these alleys straight?

S3: twisting and turning...
2. Study the details and summarize the writing skill
Ss focus on the details they found and compare the sentences with another version without those details and try to tell the difference and summarize how the writer makes the writing vivid. T: (refer to the screen) Pay attention to the underlined parts. If there are no such details, and the text goes like this... Which one do you prefer? Why? S1:....
T: With these details, it is much easier to imagine what hutongs are like.or it is more vivid. T: In order to make a description vivid, what should we do? Ss: add some details
T: Let's read for more details. Find what details the writer adds to describe the houses in hutongs. Ss Read and fill in the blanks.
T: As you see, some adjectives are used here.
What can we know about the houses from these adjectives? For example, "small and large" they tell about what of the house? "grey"? "plain"?(very simple without any decoration) these are specific details.
Without this these adjectives can you imagine what the houses are like? No. T: in order to make writing vivid, what can you do? Use specific adjectives 3. Practice
Ss describe two things with specific adjectives.
T: Let's have a try. How do you describe the seashell? Can you come up with some adjectives? T: How about a garden?
Actually, in the passage introducing some art galleries in New York the writer describes these two things, what specific adjectives are used here?
Ss: fragile, white, fragrant (have very pleasant smell)
[設計說明] 在教師引導下,學生關注文中的細節并通過與對比沒有細節的版本,更直觀地感受細節描寫的重要性。教師引導學生概括從作者所用的具體的形容詞看出該地點在特定某一方面的特點,為學生在寫作中選擇使用哪些具體的形容詞提供了思路。
Step3. 回顧文本,補充技巧
1. Review some descriptions of places and summarize the skills of adding details.
T: Actually, besides the art galleries, we've visited many places in our textbooks. Let's see whether you still remember them?
Ss sees the pictures and tell the name of the places T: What is it? Ss: Disneyland.
T: We know it's fun and more than fun. T: we also followed Li Daiyu to this country Ss: Canada.
T: We visited city Vancouver. In the north there is a thick forest. It is very wet there. T: We also visited a western country... London. We know it is an old city.
T: we also follow Wang Kun and Wang Wei have a journey down the Mekong. Where did they start the Journey? (from a high Tibetan mountain.)
T: Each place has its own feature. Here are the descriptions of these places. Please pay attention to the underlined parts. How do the writers show the features vividly?
You can have a short discussion with your partners. Ss:...
T: First sentence, how does the writer show the port is very old. Ss: ... tell
T: If I tell you the port was built long time ago. Do you know how old it is. So the writer offers us numbers or figures to make the description specific. T: how does the writer show the mountain is so high. Ss: through people's impressions.
T: how does the writer it is so wet there.. how does the writer show the trees are tall. Ss: by giving us an example. by offering figures T: how does the writer it is magical... Ss: give some examples.
T: With so many four ways. Clear pictures like these are produced in our minds. 2. Recognize the structures.
Ss study the four sentences again and tell what structures were used to add these details. T: study the four sentences carefully and tell how the writer organize the details. 1. attributive (-ting/-ed/clause) 2. so ....that
3. adverbial (-ing/-ed/clause) 4. whether... or
[設計說明] 學生通過回顧曾經學過的描寫地點的句子,補充一些使文章生動的寫作技巧。 同時從語言組織的角度學習這些句子,喚醒學生使用豐富句型的意識。
Step4.初步訓練、熟悉技巧
1. London has the oldest port built by the Romans in the first century AD. 2. At one point we were so high (in the Tibetan mountain) that we found ourselves cycling through clouds. 3. It is so wet in the north of Vancouver that the trees are extremely tall, some measuring over 90 meters. 4. The Disneyland will bring you into a magical world and make your dreams come true, whether you are traveling through space, visiting a pirate ship or meeting your favorite cartoon.
Ss tick out the better sentence to describe the place and tell why. And then combine the two sentences into one.
1. The amber room was a treasure.
口It was decorated with gold and jewels and it took the country’s best artists about ten years to make.
口It cost a great amount of money and took the country’s best artists a long time to make. 2. In Futuroscope, visitors can get close to parts of the world they have never experienced. 口You can take part in a variety of activities.

T: we know we can add details by using some proper adjective and structures as follows. Let's put them into practice.
T:Since you've picked out the better details, please combine the two sentences into one.
[設計說明] 學生通過運用上一環節的寫作技巧來選擇恰當的細節描寫,然后通過使用豐富的句型來組織語言,添加細節。通過句子的訓練為本課最后的段落寫作輸出做好鋪墊。 Step5. 運用技巧、寫作輸出
