“中西写作观念在理论思维上的差异也反映在学校的写作教学实践中,不仅体现在写作内容要求上,还体现在不同的教学方式上。中国传统的写作教学往往是“点悟式,”的,传道者往往三言两语,点到为止,然后靠受教者自己去揣摩,去体味,去领悟感受。欧美国家的写作教学则更多地表现出逻辑分析式的方法。与中国的篇章结构有所不同的是,它以句子,段落,作文为三大支柱来进行系统的文章表达基本训练。如传授如何围绕一个主题句或中心句,从句子发展为段落,有段落发展到篇章。”
外研社Book 1 Module 4 A lively city的阅读课以对话的形式介绍了美丽的城市厦门,学生通过阅读了解了这个充满活力的的城市。于是我萌生了这样一个想法,让学生用英语描写自己的家乡。所以我把这节课的教学目标定位Learn to write a passage about a city。着重提升学生的写作技巧,教学难点是如何写一篇好的作文。
第一步,我让学生读课文,填表格,并抓住对厦门描写的关键字。
接下来,我让学生模仿课文的话题写关于家乡吕梁的一篇作文。第一段,学生写对吕梁的总体概括。第二段,从地理位置,面积,人口,气候,食物,自然风景,名胜古迹等方面来描写吕梁。最后一段进行总结。所有的活动都是小组合作完成。最后学生展示自己完成的作文,老师进行评价。
下面是学生写的一篇范文:
A Interesting City
Lv liang is an interesting, beautiful and quiet city.
Located in the west of Shan xi province, Lv liang is a mountainous city with a long history. It covers an area of 21,140 k㎡ with a total population of 3727 thousand. Every year, when summer is approaching, a number of people would like to come here to enjoy its fascinating mountain scenery. The climate here is pleasant, neither too hot in summer nor too cold in winter. It is rich in natural resources, such as coal, farm produce and so on. There are many famous places of interests, among which is Bei Wu dang mountain, whose scenery is very beautiful, attracts lots of tourists from different places every year. Here you can also find museums , cinemas, theaters, are galleries, parks, coffee bars and many other places where people can meet and exchange ideas. Whats more, you will have the opportunity to taste some delicious foods, such as noodles and dumplings as well as kinds of food made from potatoes. With the development of economy, many high-rise buildings have been put up recently, which is amazing.
In short, I think its wonderful to live in such an attractive place and I hope my home town will become better and better.
这节课,在教师的指导和学生的小组合作下,学生基本完成了指定任务,初步领悟到了写作的步骤和方法。但也存在很多缺点。写作虽然给出写作要点,但还不是很具体,所以学生写起来比较迷茫。希望在以后的教学实践中,逐步完善。
