Presentation |
Show some pictures about views on beauty in different times and various cultures.
|
Analyze the pictures concerned |
At first, they fail to guess the point I expect to focus on. |
Analyze |
我觉得在刚开始导入的部分有点不顺,学生不能明白我想要他们通过图片看到的点是什么,可能是因为一开始的时候我自己比较紧张,语言上比较啰嗦,导致学生有点云里雾里,不知所云。
改进措施:指令要清晰,引导要明确。

Checking homework |
1. Words and phrases processing
2. Fast-reading questions for previewing |
Answer the questions |
Due to the large number of new words and phrases, students fail to understand some words, which lead to the waste of time in some way. |
|
由于文章生词较多,学生已经做了大量的提前预习,但是在很多生词的理解上面还存在一些问题,导致这一部分的处理耗过多间。这一环节的处理应该加快速度,我在课堂上没能很快地做出一种调整,缺乏了一定的灵活性。

Reading in detail
|
1. Ask students to read and figure out the main idea of each paragraph of the passage
2. Guide students to figure out the structure of the passage
3. Guide students to figure out the content of the passage by discussion
|
Read, answer and discuss |
As they have previewed the passage beforehand, it is easy for them to get the main idea for each paragraph, which helps them to figure out the structure of the passage effectively. It makes up for the lost time before. |
Summarize and conclude |
1. 有针对性的课前预习确实能够帮助学生更好地理解文章,尤其是词汇的预习。
2. 由于时间比较仓促,课堂上没有能够给与学生充分的时间进行讨论,尤其是对于文章内容的讨论,导致最后大家写文章时内容显得不够充实。
改进措施:备课时需要明确每部分内容的重要性,合理适当地安排时间。
|
|
Writing |
1. Guide students to write a passage as required, using a structure similar to the passage
2. Remind students of using some words presented
|
Write a passage |
Although they might not be able to write fluently, they, at least most of them, make an attempt to write according to the passage by following the structure guided. In addition, some of them even succeed in completing the task within limited time.
|
Analyze and conclude |
1. 学生对于议论文结构有了初步的了解,以后还需要进一步地巩固。
2. 学生在写作文时空有结构,内容大部分还是来源于文章本身的句子,缺乏自己的想法,因此在以后的读写课上,我需要加强对于学生内容的指导。
改进措施:写作结构和写作内容方面都要做到给与学生足够的指导。
