教学反思
本节课是一节读写课。通过前一节课的学习,我们学习了学校的活
动日程,并在作业中,让学生写出了自己学校的活动日程,这为本节
课的学习打下了基础,学生理解起来较容易。在本课中,该教学设计
先突破 3a,让学生读透 3a 重点内容,了解篇章结构,再下笔去写。
在写作前,通过设置问题,检查学生对核心句型掌握情况,了解学生
学习困难点。在写作中,对学生的细节问题进行指导。写作完成后,
让学生展示自己的写作成果,学生间相互学习,共同进步。
当然,本节课中也存在需要继续探索的问题。
1. 在写作过程中,不同层次的学生用的时间差异较大,需要老
师对各层次学生做好指导。
2.在西方国家节日拓展环节中,学生的口语水平可能达不到熟练
问答的地步,需要让学生提前做好准备。
