Teaching Aims

Criteria

Notes

1. The main task (Outcome)

The students will be able to write a letter to Anne and post it on the blog, where Anne will be able to read.

這是本節課主要任務，其它活動都是爲此做準備的。

2. Language Focus

(1) The students will be able to use the following words and pattern properly in given situations or their daily life:

flat; café; in the north/ south/ east / west of …

(2) The students will be able to describe the different locations of the buildings in their school, which is a boarding school, and activities concerned.

本單元主題是Around our school，所以學校的方位和附近環境描述是學習重點。語言要點就是根據這個定位，並結合學生實際解讀、提取的`。

3. Language Skills

The students will be able to find the places (in the jigsaw puzzle) according to the letter.

這個很生活化的活動可訓練搜尋有效資訊的閱讀技能。

4. Learning Strategies

(1) The students will be able to guess and reason the presumption by the information collected from the reading of the letter. (認知策略)

(2) The students will be encouraged in groups to write back a letter about their school scaffolded with patterns from the text. (情感策略)

學習策略是在學習活動中得到體驗的。因此根據學生學習能力的特點，把推測能力(認知策略)和合作能力(情感策略)的培養分別結合到閱讀和寫作活動之中。

5. Affection

The students will be able to focus their attention on the classroom instruction and performance.

初二階段應該培養學生的學習意志，從單純的興趣過渡到有意識學習。

6. Culture

The students will be able to aware the precautions they might need to take while writing to a pen pal at the very beginning.

方位和環境描述、書信寫作是語言層面內容，背後是文化知識和意識。所以在課堂活動中，要引導學生關注此類內容和活動。

Difficulties

The students might find it short of time to construct a letter with a good logic order and in well-organized language.

初二寫作訓練剛剛起步，是難點。解決辦法有三個：教師適當提供支架、組織小組合作學習和足夠時間。

Teaching Aids

Blackboard, Chalk, Computer, Overhead Projector,

Visualizer, Jigsaw Puzzles, letter paper, a treasure chest

Setting

The students sit in four-member groups around desks.

這樣的設計有利於學生的合作學習

Notes

I. Pre-task phase: to talk about the blog

The teacher is going to play the song Big Big World and open the website BBW to introduce them the blog and the theme “Big Big World”.

— Shall we sing a song together?

— Do we live in a big big world? How big is this world? But I say it is a small world after all. Why? Internet, emails, msn make the world small. Here is a blog. It’s our blog. We can see each other on holiday over this blog.

⑴The students are going to listen to and sing along with the English song Big Big World.

⑵They are going to have an interaction with the teacher, answering some questions.

⑶They are going to be encou- raged to talk about any blog they know.

⑷They read the blog together to warm themselves up for the following activities.

教師建立一個博客BB World，爲課後教學構建平臺，並以博客主題歌給學生熱身，培養學習情感。活動形式以師生活動爲主。

II. Task–introduction & Task–acknowledgement

The teacher is going to inform the students what they are going to do in this lesson and what their final outcome will be.

— A girl named Anne visited the blog and she left a letter. Are you interested in writing her back?

— In today’s class we are going to read her letter and write her a letter back.

The students are going to be informed what they are going to do in this lesson and what their final outcome will be. At the same time they are going to be encouraged to size up the tasks, as well as themselves.

告知學生本節課的主要任務體現了師生民主平等，也有利於學生自主規劃、主動參與活動。活動以教師講解爲主。

III. Pre-reading task: to predict the possible content of Anne’s letter

The teacher is going to help the students form the schemata by a discussion of the following question betweet partners.

— Before we open the letter, can you predict what she might write in her letter?

The teacher wirtes the following two patterns on the Bb if necessary to set up a scaffold before the pair work:

? She will tell us …

? She wants to know …

and takes down the possible guesses and also the questions on the blackboard after the pair work.

1. The students are going to predict the possible content of Anne’s letter.

2. The students are going to work in pairs. Each pair will either give a sentence to predict what she might write in her letter or will think of a question Anne may ask.

3. Some pairs of students are going to tell what they predict.

讀前活動重點在於構建學生閱讀圖式，爲下步閱讀活動做好鋪墊。在這個過程中，訓練學生預測能力。在語言方面，如果學生有困難，教師提供一個“支架”。活動以自主和pair互動爲主。

IV. Wile-reading task: to read for information needed

1. The teacher designs some questions to help the students pick out the things Anne talked about and questions she raised already, and to encourage them to reason some presumption.

— What did Anne write in her letter?

— What did she ask in her letter?

— What are the things she doesn’t talk about? Why not?

— Is this a first letter or not?

— What are the questions you think is polite to ask in your reply letter?

2. The teacher will go around the class to observe, help and monitor while the students work in pairs or in groups.
