英语高考作文复习,对于贵阳三十八中这样一所普通高中的学生来说,的确有点困难。我们的大多数学生英语基础知识较差。在高三复习阶段,学生的英语作文写作能力还是较弱。因此,笔者在高三英语作文教学中,学习使用思维导图,帮助学生进行作文分析和作文指导。这样简单的方法,学生能够容易学懂。当学生能够做到头脑明白,思维清晰的时候,加上不断的训练,最后能够逐步提高。
1.我们的作文对策
针对我校学生的实际情况,绘制符合学生实际水平的思维导图。利用思维导图的优点,辅助英语作文教学:
我们英语作文对策的原则:(1)审题原则:全面、快捷、仔细;(2)构思原则:思路清晰、句子灵动;(3)方法原则:扬长避短;(4)训练原则:常用、够用。
我的做法:(1)鼓励学生从简单句开始,从初中英语入手,不怕用词简单,但求学生人人能动笔写;(2)鼓励学生背诵、仿写课文中的句子,虽然简单,尽量地道;(3)后期鼓励中上水平的学生加入短语、句型、从句,让英语作文表达丰富完善。
思维导图在作文指导中的运用,让学生思路清楚,记忆深刻,英语作文表达能力得到提高。
2.使用思维导图,分析英语作文
每次英语考试后,首先,用参考答案的专家范文来指导学生学习作文。专家的范文比较全面且难度大,虽然不太适合三十八中学学生较低的英语水平,但可以给学生的思路以启发。然后,笔者用结合学生实际情况所写的范文,运用思维导图来进行分析。学生所受的启发较大,收获较多。以下是笔者的范文及思维导图分析图:
2.1 贵州省一模考试作文分析
Dear Tony,
Thank you for your letter asking about Guiyang-Guangzhou High-speed Railway. Here is something about it.
Guiyang-Guangzhou High-speed Railway has just come into use for three months. It is good. Why do we say so? Because it runs faster. The highest speed is at 250 kilometers per hour. It only takes 4 hours or so to get to Guangzhou from Guiyang. At the same time, it is safe, convenient and comfortable.
Thanks to High-speed Railway, now many people from Guiyang go to Guangzhou for shopping and sightseeing. And more and more people from Guangzhou come to cool Guiyang to enjoy the beautiful natural parks. But we have to say. The fare is a little high, and there aren't sleepers on it. Nevertheless, I think it is a good thing for people of Guiyang and Guangzhou. Welcome to Guizhou!
I expect you to come and experience it by yourself.
Yours
Li Hua
2.2 贵州省二模考试作文分析
We Chinese people often like to set off firecrackers to celebrate the beginning of the new year. We are happy at this time.
But we are surrounded by the loud noise , dust and smoke. It is bad for our health. It can cause a lot of illness to our body. Why do we say so? Because we have no fresh air. Can we change this old habit: setting off firecrackers into a new form that can protect our environment? Yes, we can. I think we must stop setting off firecrackers first of all. Then we can think of many new forms to celebrate the new year. We must protect our
environment. Only in this way can we have a healthy and happy life!
Everybody, can you use your wisdom to think of new ways to celebrate the new year?
通过每次的思维导图结合的作文讲解分析,学生对比自己作文中的优点和错误,都会有深刻的印象。再通过对每一位学生作文的具体指导,指明英语作文的应对之策,学生的积极性得到鼓励,学生的英语作文表达能力也得到提高。笔者在学习使用思维导图辅助教学的过程中,进一步加深了对教学研究的理解,受益非浅。
