高一英语教案:《Friendship》教案四
Design Concept
According to New English Curriculum Standards, we should develop students'
ability of autonomous learning and cooperative learning. And we should also improve
students' ability of getting information and the ability of analyzing the information,
thus improving their ability to solve problems. Meanwhile, we should pay attention to
developing students' comprehensive language competence and their positive attitudes.
Students are the masters of learning. Student-centered teaching with the teacher as a
guide should be adopted in English teaching.
Analysis of the teaching material
This period mainly consists of two parts: Reading and Writing. Students are guided to read a letter for help written by Xiao Dong to Miss Wang. From the letter, we can see Xiao Dong's problem: He is not good at communicating with people and he finds it hard to make friends with others. so he feels lonely and he does want to change this situation. Through reading, students are able to find the problem and then try to solve the problem by writing a letter for advice to Xiao Dong.
This period plays an important part in the whole unit because it is based on the topic of friendship and it offers the students an opportunity to output what they have
learned in this unit. Although some students have the basic writing skills, most of
them still need to be guided to pay attention to the structure and the sentence patterns
to make their compositions better.
Analysis of the students
The teaching objects are all students from Grade (One, who have just graduated from junior middle school and have been in senior high school for only about one
month. And most of them have “classroom anxiety" in English class. That is to say,
most students are not confident enough to speak English and answer questions. Thus,
I plan to organize some teaching activities such as discussion, group-work and so on, through which, students are able to learn how to cooperate with others and learn from each other, thus building up their confidence, cultivating their sense of cooperation and helping them to experience the happiness of development.
Teaching aims
1.Knowledge (Objectives)

expressions and sentence patterns.

(2)Through writing practice, Ss will be able to improve their writing skills.
3.Moral(Objectives)
Through teaching activities, cultivate students sense of cooperation and build up their
confidence in learning English.
Key Points and Difficult points

you are easy to get along with. You should ask people their likes and dislikes. You

课后反思:
一、坚持“以人为本”。
培养学生自主学习、探究学习,以及学生之间的合作意识,让学生通过积极地参与课堂活动相互合作、互相学习,有助于提高学生对英语的兴趣、树立学好英语的信心。课堂上多使用鼓励性的语言及目光交流,课件上多出现一些励志性的图片,帮助学生缓解因英语基础较弱而导致的课堂“焦虑”,从而让每个人体验到发展的快乐。
二、培养学生的写作习惯。
写作水平的提高要经过一个循序渐进的过程,而在这个过程中,养成良好的语言学习习惯至关重要。可以从以下几点培养学生的写作习惯:1.重视平日词汇、短语等基本素材的积累。2.课外多阅读,摘抄其中比较优美的句子进行积累、诵读。3.收集优秀习作中的篇章结构,例如开头、结尾等。4.指导学生课后有效地练习。要提高写作水平,单靠课堂上的练习是远远不够的,因此,课后要指导学生进行大量的写作训练,把课堂上学到的应用到课后的练习中。
三、实施有效的写作评价
写作之后的评价形式有很多。最常见的就是教师的批阅,此外,还有学生自评、小组相互修改与评价、班级投影与评价、制作班级写作海报等。本节课主要采用了学生评价、教师补充、小组互评及班级展示、集体评价,基本达到了预期的效果。学生上黑板的写作展示和点评都体现了“以学生为主体”的教学理念,在这个过程中,学生通过参与既展示了自己,同时也是一次相互学习的机会。由于时间关系,课堂上展示的学生数量有限,在课后我会继续跟踪,让学生继续修改、继续完善自己的作文,然后再组织制作班级海报,将优秀的作品以班级海报的形式展出,这其实也是一种有效的激励措施。
总之,在英语的四项基本技能中,听、说、读是写的基础,而写则是更高层次上的信息交流,是衡量一个英语学习者综合语言运用能力的试金石。新课标也对书面表达提出了新的要求。作为一名高中英语教师,在实施写作教学的过程中,有成功的一面,也有许多不足。在今后的教学中,我会不断立足于学生,不断改进教学方法,培养学生养成良好的学习方法、掌握英语写作技能,提高学生的综合语言运用能力和英语学科核心素养。

从容说课
This is the sixth teaching period of this unit. We can first review some important language points the students learned in the last several periods. The emphasis of this period should be laid on listening and writing. They are expansion of the topic of the text. Listening is about Lisa’s problem of making a friend with a boy. She asks Miss Wang for advice. Through listening and exercise, students learn how to give advice and the skill of giving advice. And also let them think about the problem of boy’s making friends with girls and girls with boys. And then design a task to ask students to give advice according to the different problems to develop their ability to solve the problems. All of these lay the foundation for the next task—writing. In this way, students feel that they have information to put out. And writing makes for the improvement of students’ writing ability, strengthening their comprehension of friendship.
The two letters, listening and letter writing prepare students to further talk about friendship, especially the problems with misunderstanding, and unfriendliness, thus strengthen students’ abilities to practice language, discover, and solve problems.

FRIENDS,GOOD FRIENDS AND SUCH GOOD FRIENDS
Friends among women
(Adapted from Judith Viorst)
People usually think that women are friends and when they are friends they are friends all the way,but I believe that is a narrow point of view. For the friendships I have and the friendships I see are at many levels,serve different purposes,meet different needs and range from those as all-the-way as the friendship of the full sisters to that of the most casual playmates.
Consider these friendships at the different levels:
1. Convenience friends. These are the women with whom,if our paths weren’t crossing all the time we’d have no particular reason to be friends:a next door neighbor,a woman in our car pool or maybe the mother of one of our children’s closest friends.
Convenience friends are convenient indeed. They’ll lend us their cups and silverware for a party. They’ll drive our kids to a football match when we’re sick. They’ll give us a lift when our car is under repair. They’ll even take our cats when we go on holiday.
But we don’t,with convenience friends,ever come too closer or tell too much;we maintain our public face and emotional distance.
“That means,” says Eileen,“that I’ll talk about being overweight but not about being depressed. Or I’ll admit that our boy is naughty but not nasty. Or I might say that we’re pinched this month but never that I’m worried sick over money.” But that doesn’t mean that there isn’t sufficient value to be found in these friendships of mutual aid,in convenience friends.
2. Special-interest friends. These friendships needn’t involve kids or silverware or cats. Their value lies in some interest jointly shared. And so we may have a stamp friend or a tennis friend or a shopping friend or a friend from the Women’s Democratic Club.
“I’ve got one woman friend,” says Joyce,“who likes,as I do,to take Modern Psychology Courses,which makes it nice for me—and nice for her. It’s fun to go with someone you know and it’s fun to discuss what you’ve learned.” And for the most part,she says,that’s all they discuss.
“I’d say that what we’re doing is doing together,not being together,” Susan says of her tennis friend.“It’s mainly a tennis relationship,but we play together well. And I guess we all need to have a couple of playmates.”
My playmate is a shopping friend,a woman of great taste,a woman who knows exactly where to buy what,and furthermore is a woman who always knows beyond a doubt what one ought to be buying. I’m very glad to have a shopping friend when I need to buy something.
3. Historical friends. We all have friends who knew us when we were,say,in the second grade,when our family lived in that poor two-room flat in New York,when our dad was out of work for seven months,and when I stole a pencil from a boy in my class,she was the first,the only,friend we told.
The years have gone by and we’ve gone separate ways and we’ve little in common now,but we’re still a dear part of each other’s past. Every time when we see or write to each other we are put in touch with an earlier part of ourselves which is important never to lose.
4. Crossroads friends. Like historical friends our crossroads friends are important for the friendships we shared at a very special,now past,time of life. A time,perhaps,when we roomed in collage together;or worked as eager young singles in a big city together;or went together,as my friend Elizabeth and I did through a period of time of treatment in hospital and about two months of regaining our health.
Crossroads friends establish powerful links,links strong enough to endure with not much more contact than once-a year letters at Christmas. And out of respect for those crossroads years,for those dramas and dreams we once shared we will always be friends.
There are medium friends,and pretty good friends,and very good friends indeed. But the best of friends,I believe,totally love and support and trust each other,and tell each other the secrets in the depth of their souls,and run—no questions asked—to help each other;or,as the saying goes:A friend in need is a friend indeed.
