Teaching goals

1.Deal with the knowledge learned and the writing part.

Step 1. Lead in

T: Hello, everyone. Now I am very eager to know the top five things in your life. Would you like to share them with me? Others please pay attention to the attributive clauses in his report.

Ss: …

T: Well done, how many attributive clauses are used in the report?

Ss:

T: Just as you see, with this structure, the sentences you made will become more vivid and beautiful. And from what he told you just now, class, what kind person our speaker is?

Ss: B rave, honest…

T: But is it enough to describe one person in this way? What else is needed?

Ss: (Get into a discussion)

Step 2. Using words and expressions

T: Good ideas. Would you like to know more? Now here’s a good example. Let’s turn to Page 70. First go through the text quickly. Who can tell me what the passage talks about?

S: It’s about a mathematician named Charles Babbage.

T: Now choose the words or expressions from the brackets to complete the passage.

(Leave Ss 2minutes to finish the passage.)

T: You can find the words are similar to each other. So as a good writer, he may vary words to express something better. So picking of proper words is very important. And have you stored some good words or phrases from our text?

Ss: ...

T: But can you use them out in your writing? Let’s have a try.Here we’ve got some, and please choose some of them to translate my sentences. ( Page 71)

(as a matter of fact; in trouble; out of work; come to power; advise; lose heart; be sentenced to; willing; set up; continue).

T: Please always remember: words and phrases are the bricks of the house or the muscles and blood of the body. So collecting more words is a way to write a beautiful passage. Besides the muscles and blood, but what about the bones of the article?

Step3. Make an outline for structure

T: Let’s go back to the passage. Can you give me more information about the mathematician? Like when and where was he born? What happened in his childhood? And what happened later? …

Ss: …

T: Yes, in paragraph one, it writes about his personal information. And what happened in paragraph two? What other information does it mention?

Ss: …

T: In paragraph two, it tells us his hard work and achievements. Why do we say he worked hard? What were his achievements? Did he suffer a lot or meet with some problems? What do people think of him? Why?

Ss: …

T: So in conclusion, this passage can be divided into two parts. They are:

Paragraph 1: Personal information

Paragraph 2: His / Her hard work and achievements

T: That’s the brief outline of this passage, and can we add something more about it?

S: (Get into a discussion and report their ideas)

T: Generally speaking, when we write a passage about a person, m aybe we’d better write about his qualities in the passage and we can also show our opinion of the hero. So can you write an outline of a passage about a great person?

(Leave several minutes to the Ss to make an outline, and let them exchange their ideas freely) T: According to your arrangement, your outline may be like this:

Paragraph 1: Personal information

Paragraph 2: His / Her hard work and achievements

Paragraph 3: His / Her good qualities

Paragraph 4: Your opinion
