高中英语写作课-Summary_Writing

高中英语写作课Summary Writing
教学设计
教材分析：
“读写任务”是高考的重要题型，它要求学生通过阅读材料，获取信息并概括要点，在此基础上，写出自己的内容。

这就要求学生具备较强的概括
水平。

虽然学生已经非常熟悉这种题型，但很多同学在概括文章要点时
还存有一定的困难。

学情分析:
高三的学生在英语语言知识和英语写作技能方面已经有了一定的基础，他们对如何写摘要都有一定的理解。

1．根据教育心里学的观点, 不同年龄阶段的学生具有自身特有的心理活动, 教学要根据学生的年龄特征以获取更好的效果. 高三的学生大多18、19岁,其个体思维的发展正处于初步成熟期，他们在学习行为上表现更主动。

在学习策略上，他们：
1) 会积极探索适合自己的英语学习方法
2) 会通过不同信息渠道获取所需信息
3）遇到实际困难时，会有效地寻求协助
2．高三（3）班是一个理科班，学生有重理轻文的倾向，在用英语实行交际时还存有一定的困难，局部学生可能在完成任务的过程中会遇到一些困难。

教学目标：
1．［语言知识目标］
写摘要的三个步骤：（1）阅读；（2）写作；（3）修改成文。

2．［技能和策略目标］
阅读时找主题句和四个写摘要的微技能
3．［水平、情感、态度目标］
培养学生的书面表达水平；培养学生合作精神和竞争的意识。

设计理念：
1．以探究式教学理论为依据，采取“任务型”教学模式（task—based model），让学生在教师的指导下，通过感知、体验、实践、参与、合作和竞争等方式, 实现任务目标，感受成功.
2．渗透主体性合作式学习理念，发挥学生的主体性和教师的指导性作用，让学生在一个轻松、愉快、民主的气氛中获取英语知识和培养英语使用水平。

教学媒体：
本节课采取了传统和现代相结合的教学手段，既使用了黑板和粉笔，又使用了电脑制作了多媒体课件。

教学方法设计：
合作探究法：个人、2人或4人小组为单位，参与英语的各项交际活动。

Passage 1
A terrible earthquake broke out in Istanbul, the capital of Turkey, on the early morning of September 14, 2006, at 4 o’clock. As most people were still in deep sleep when the earthquake was happening, all the people were in a panic, which led to a disastrous result—about 200 people were killed in the earthquake, and many more were seriously injured, with hundreds of thousands homeless.

Years ago it was very difficult to travel from one place to another. The journeys were often long, tiring and dangerous. Today the picture has changed.. There are first-class ships and airplanes to take people where their dreams lie, whether within one’s country or abroad. Traveling has become safer, more enjoyable and above all, more economical. So we can say transportation has been improved a great deal.

1. Read the following passage and fill in the blanks.
It must have been about two in the morning when I returned home. I tried to wake up my wife by ringing the doorbell, but she was fast asleep. So I got a ladder from the shed in the garden, put it against the wall, and began climbing towards the bedroom window. I was almost there when a sarcastic voice below said, “I don’t think the windows need cleaning at this time of the night.” I looked down and nearly fell off the ladder when I saw a policeman. I immediately regretted answering in the way I did, but I said, “I enjoy cleaning windows at night.”
“So do I,” answered the policeman in the same tone. “Excuse my interrupting you. I hate to interrupt a man when he’s busy working, but would you mind coming with me to the station?”
“Well, I’d prefer to stay here,” I said. “You see, I’ve forgotten my key.”
“You what?” he called.
“My key,” I shouted.
Fortunately, the shouting woke up my wife who opened the window just as the policeman had started to climb towards me.
Summary:
On arriving home early in the morning, the writer failed to ______________________________ by ringing the doorbell. He tried to _________________________________, but was found by ___________________. Soon his shouting woke his wife.
Task 4: Students write a summary alone with about 30 words .
2. Write a summary with about 30 words.
Advertising can be a service to customers. This is true when ads give reliable information about the goods advertised. Such information is needed if the customer is to make a wise choice when he buys something. It is useful because it can help the customer know more about the kinds of goods available in the shops.
However, some ads are not very useful to the customers. Instead of helping the customer to satisfy his real needs, they set out to make him want unnecessary things by doing ads cleverly. They set out to make us believe what they advertise will make us cleverer, prettier, more handsome, if only we use it. For example, the voice on TV says, “By using our SKII, it makes your skin crystal” The screen shows a series of pictures in which a famous actress not only has her skin whitened but also has her pronounced wrinkles silkily smoothed. Some ladies with dark skin will be persuaded to choose that cosmetic（化妆品）.
Task 5: Check it in a group of four.
Step 4 Assignment
Write a summary on Page 186.
Reflection(反思)：
本节课遵循循序渐进，螺旋式推动课堂教学的原则，对课题“Writing a summary”实行教学。

它既有理论层面的教和学，也有实际操作层面的练和学，如使用所学的技能改写句子和概括两篇短文的要点。

学生对summary的理解也遵循一定的顺序：总体层面（Task 1& 2），具体的操练(Task 3 & 4)→概括/理论层面。

学生的活动方式也是多样的：单独的（Individual），两人一组（in pairs），四人一组（in groups of four）。

当然，学生的概括水平和写作水平也不是一蹴而就的，在以后的教学中还要增强这方面的输入。
