高中英语人教版新教材B3U4 Reading for Writing教学设计
教学分析
The text is a typical argumentative about the benefits of space exploration which follows the structure of “introduction-body-conclusion” to present an argument. To show the opinion clearly, the writer uses topic sentence for each paragraph. Proper writing techniques like examples, explanations and comparison enables the writer to fully develop the main idea. For students in Grade 1, they are not familiar with this topic because it’s not so life-related, but they are curious about space exploration. They are active in expressing their opinions but lack in writing techniques and cosistency as well as need more guidance in organizing their essays.
Thus, in this class, the teaching aims are designed as follow:
1. to fully understand the topic and the writer’s opinon
2. to analyze how the writer develops his opinion clearly, coherently and comprehensively
3. to explore the two sides of space exploration and cultivate critical thinking
4. to apply the writing techniques and structure pattern learned from the text to write an argumentative essay
