教学设计
Thoughts on the design:
The purpose of the grammar and usage in this unit is to help the students to learn about the elements of a paragraph and enable them to organize an article according to the model“ topic sentence--supporting sentences-- concluding sentence”when they are in practical writing so that the students’ writing ability can be improved.
(本单元语法板块的主要内容是帮助学生了解段落的组成部分，并且能够在实际写作过程中按照“总起—分述—总结 ”的模式组织文章，提高学生的写作水平。)
Teaching aims:
1. Get to know the elements of a paragraph.
2. Do some exercises to consolidate the different elements of a paragraph.
3. Ask students to write a paragraph to practice writing.
Teaching important and difficult points:
1.let the students know different elements of a paragraph.
2.How to recognize elements of a paragraph while reading .
Teaching procedures:
Step 1 Lead-in
1.How many parts does a paragraph usually have ?And what are they?
Three parts.they are a topic sentence, supporting sentences, a concluding sentence
2.When you are reading an article can you find them?
Step 2 Introduction to the three parts
Topic sentence:
1. Each paragraph should have a point. The topic sentence clearly states what information the paragraph will give.
2. The topic sentence is usually the first sentence of a paragraph.
(e. g. Young adults give many reasons for moving to cities.
Today, I would like to tell you different ways to study English.)
Notes:
1. Not all paragraphs have a topic sentence. Sometimes, a paragraph continues a topic introduced in the previous paragraph.
2. In the first paragraph of an essay, a story or an article, the topic sentence may follow a hook.
(e.g. Older Americans are on the move. The questions, is, though, why are so many people retiring and spending their pensions in Florida?)
Supporting sentences:
1. follow the topic sentence
help explain or prove the topic sentence
2. We use transitions() to link each sentences to the previous or following ones.
(1. for example, for instance 2. furthermore, also
3. first(ly), second(ly), third(ly) 4.on the other hand, however )
Concluding sentence:
1. appear at the end of a paragraph
2. repeat the topic in a new way
3. express a final idea about the topic or to help introduce the topic of the next paragraph
(e.g. Across the USA, people are noticing the same thing: young people want to live in cities.)
