Teaching Procedures

Step 1. Lead-in.

Present the composition of monthly test.

[12月月考試題] 請(qǐng)根據(jù)以下提示，并結(jié)合事例，用英語寫一篇短文。

At times， in relationship， to accept leads to peace and harmony while to expect leads to conflict and tension.

注意 1. 無須寫標(biāo)題；

2. 除詩歌外，文體不限；

3. 內(nèi)容必須結(jié)合你生活中的一個(gè)事例；

4. 文中不得透露個(gè)人姓名和學(xué)校名稱；

5. 詞數(shù)不少于120，如引用提示語不計(jì)入總詞數(shù)。

Present two paragraphs of the beginnings from two students.

①Conventional wisdom has it that where there are peace and harmony， there are conflict and tension. Not only do we need peace to settle down， but also need conflict to develop.

②It is widely assumed that to accept leads to peace and harmony while to expect leads to conflict and tension. Accept everything comes to our life and we will enjoy the sunshine from the world.

Ask students to point out the problems individually. Discuss the theme and present.

Theme： acceptance / tolerance / dont expect to get too much from others/ not be too particular about others

Present another beginning.

Conventional wisdom has it that acceptance and understanding are what it takes to deal with the relationship with others. With too much expectation， we will be always finding fault with others， as a result of which， conflict will come into being.

Purpose：To enable students to know where their problems lie and arouse their desire for solving the problem.

Step 2. Presentation and practice.

A. ① At times， in relationship， to accept leads to peace and harmony while to expect leads to conflict and tension.

（強(qiáng)調(diào)：盡管有while，表示了轉(zhuǎn)折，但是是表示對(duì)比。）

【展開：accept & expect 都應(yīng)該談到，但不要求平均用力或以對(duì)比的形式來呈現(xiàn)】

比較：[13年] We all know that “sticks and stones may break our bones”， but we should also be aware that words can hurt people， too.

（Which word do you think is important？ Which part does it emphasize？）

Key word： but （it emphasizes the latter part）

Theme： the power/ bad effect of bad words

【Summary：對(duì)比型 --- 找準(zhǔn)側(cè)重點(diǎn)】

B. ①Interest plays an important part in our life. Interest is the best teacher， which can help us make our way to success.

（What are the key words？ What information do you think is useful？）

Key word： interest

Useful information： plays an important part/ can help us

Theme： the importance/ effect of interest

②[14年] Small things make a big difference. The small things we do can make us a responsible member of the society.

Theme： the importance/ power/ effect of small things

【Summary： 直接型 --- 找關(guān)鍵詞

展開：從正面直接談， 舉正面的事例】

C. ① Watch a short video.

There is a saying. Yesterday is history； tomorrow is a mystery， but today is a gift. Thats why it is called the present.

（Pair work： Whats the meaning of the sentence？ What can you learn from the sentence？）

Theme： have a right attitude towards life /what we have now or cherish/ treasure the present/ what we have now

② There is no such thing as a free lunch. Success doesnt come to anyone who sits back and does nothing at all. As they say， “As you sow， so shall you reap.”

（Pair work： Whats the meaning of the sentence？ What can you learn from the sentence？）

Possible version： You get what you paid.

Theme： making efforts/ hard-working

【Summary：諺語類 ---將抽象空洞的道理聯(lián)系實(shí)際，落實(shí)到現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中】

如何展開？

（Pair work： Make an outline of the example and report it orally）

【Summary：從正面：正面的事例making efforts success

從反面：反面的事例 not making efforts fail/ gain nothing realize the importance】

Exercise： make an outline.

It is known to all that volunteering benefits others， but we should also be aware that it can benefit volunteer themselves， too.

（Group work： 4 as a group. Discuss and make an outline.）

Step3. Summary

審題？審什么？

① grasp the key words， have a appropriate explanation or understanding of the cues， and set up the theme. （抓關(guān)鍵詞，正確解讀提示語，提煉觀點(diǎn)）

② Style（題材）： narration& comments（夾敘夾議）

③ Person（人稱）：the first and third person（第一、三人稱）

④ Tense（時(shí)態(tài)）：the present and past tense（一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)和一般過去時(shí)為主）

⑤ Structure（結(jié)構(gòu)）：three paragraphs： put forward a view– illustrate the view-- conclusion（提出觀點(diǎn)—論證觀點(diǎn)—強(qiáng)化觀點(diǎn)）

原則：將抽象的道理具體化，聯(lián)系實(shí)際，結(jié)合自己的學(xué)習(xí)生活（Combine the theory with reality. Apply the abstract theory to concrete practice， such as our life and study.）

如何展開？

① 要緊扣主題（keep to the theme）；

② 切口小，落到實(shí)處，聯(lián)系生活.切忌高大空，空喊口號(hào)；（talk about the concrete practice in our life and study）

③ 從正面、從反面或以對(duì)比的形式來論證；（give positive or negative examples， or by means of comparison）

④ 積極向上，傳遞正能量。（the examples should be positive， which can transmit the positive energy.）

Purpose：To help students reflect on what they have learnt and have a complete concept of setting up themes and giving examples.

Other factors of high-marked composition：
