Unit 1 Know yourself Task A formal recommendation 教案.doc

Unit 1 Know yourself Task Teaching objectives: By the end of the class, students should be able to: 1. make a spidergram to organize their ideas more clearly; 2. talk about a person with some adjectives and examples; 3. write a formal recommendation letter in English; 4. know themselves better and try to be the best of themselves. 【设计意图】Task板块，作为单元的最后一课时，它不仅承载着对这一单元知识和技能性学习内容的输出任务，同时也是单元主题教学情感意识方面的一种升华。因此，以学生发展学科核心素养为目标，以落实立德树人为根本任务，结合本单元Task板块的设计特点，我从知识、技能、情感等方面，依据学科能力从学习理解到应用实践，再到迁移创新的发展过程，设计了以上四个课堂教学目标。 Teaching activities: Activity one Lead-in: Know Jack Ma Step 1 Talk about what is important to a person. Step 2 Watch a video, talk about Jack Ma and make a spidergram about him. 【设计意图】以马云为例，通过观看视频，直观而形象地感知马云所具备的突出品质，引导学生讨论“较之外貌而言，什么对于一个人来说更重要”。这一环节用真实的事例复习有关描述个性品质的形容词，引导学生初步感知蜘蛛状说明的作用，同时渗透意志品质的教育。 Activity two Pre-writing: Know David Step 1 Talk about David according to the spidergram on P18. Step 2 Analyze the spidergram to talk about how to describe a person’s qualities. Step 3 Ask students to finish the recommendation letter on P19. Step 4 Talk about how to write a recommendation letter. 【设计意图】通过提问学习有关David的蜘蛛状说明，帮助学生理解并总结绘制spidergram来组织想法的意图和方法，启发学生思考推荐理由，强化学生对突出品质重要性的认识。通过引导学生分析推荐信的结构和内容，帮助他们从形式和内容两方面学习如何自己写好推荐信。写作前这一系列环环相扣、层层推进的设计，目的是为后续的写作打好基础、设好铺垫。 Activity three While-writing: Know yourself Step 1 Ask students to make a spidergram to know themselves better.
Step 2 Ask students to write a letter to recommend themselves as the headmaster’s helper. Dear Mr./Ms. ________, I’m writing to recommend myself as your helper.
