Unit 1 Communication Workshop(第二课时)
Lesson Focus
·Writing: a blog about your family
·Speaking: talk about your family
Exercise 5
Purpose: to help students write about their families
· List your structure. Direct students to the reading in Exercise 1. Revise the information in the introduction and the information in the rest of the paragraphs. Then direct students to the starter writing. Say "You can begin your blog about your family like this". Read the starter writing aloud, completing it with information about your family.
· Write. Say "Use your notes (or table) to write about your family. Use the structure of Steve's blog to help you". Monitor closely as students write, offering help as needed. Be sure to give students enough time to write. If time is short in class, allow students to finish their blogs for homework.

□I used the Key Words and Key Expressions correctly.
□I double-checked spelling, grammar and punctuation.
Read the list aloud, making sure students understand meaning. Say " Now read your blog. Can you check all the points on the list?" Monitor as students read their blogs, offering assistance on how they can improve them.
· Peer-review checklist. When students have finished doing the Self-check, have them swap papers with a partner.

□Does it make sense? If not, what could the writer do to make it better, for example, reorganise the paragraphs?
□Does it answer all your que
