1、高中英语概要写作(summary writing)教学设计说明及教案基于牛津英语(上海版)高中二年级第一学期Unit 3 Fashion(1) 执教教师简介:夏蕾上海市复兴高级中学教师。长期致力于英语教学实践与研究,尤其是英语写作教学,为学生创设由浅入深的写作训练;带领备课组依托课本,研发校本教材,创建Instant Writing , Making Leaflet, Brochure and Poster, essay question, From Grammar To Writing, Critical Viewing Guide, Summary Writing, Character A

4、 Stupid Phase); 进入高二,又面临高考题型改革引入summary writing,因而在此阶段,写作系列活动以summary writing为线展开,创设写作任务,旨在帮助学生在阅读的一定基础上,能够对文本进行整理,归纳,并进行语言产出活动。本课之前,学生已经掌握了概要写作的一些基本要求,尝试在老师指导下写过第一单元课文(记叙文)的概要,一篇editorialAre sports still Sporting? 和一篇上海学生英文报上关于绿色出行Riding Green的概要。 3. 设计理念在英语语言学习中,与即兴谈话交流比起来,写作训练给学生更多的思考时间。这样一来,也就给了
5、学生更多的机会去做语言处理,即对语言有思考钻研的一个活动过程。我校教研组尝试基于教材,在日常教学中分阶段用各种写作训练方法来培养学生的写作习惯。很多学生要么认为他们不会写,要么就是不想写。究其原因,可能因为没有信心,或认为写作太无聊,或更多的学生认为没什么可写。作为教师,我们要让学生参与进来,从高一时的低层次出发,用各种相对简单,容易动笔,同时又非常有趣的活动,让写作慢慢变成贯穿课堂内外的一部分,并且给学生提供大量机会去体会写作成果所带来的快乐与成就感。只有当学生养成了这种写作习惯后才可以带着对写作的热爱来更积极参与各种写作活动中来。本课期望学生能够理解体会概要写作中的三个重要策略,对概要写作
