教学过程

Teaching Procedures

Step 1 DIY-To convey love

A touching video about making a DIY card arouses students’ interest in doing DIY jobs.

T: Can we buy the special card from a shop? Why?

T: Why not buy a card from a shop instead?

T: Doing DIY jobs is a good way to show our love. Many people give us love, who are they?

T: We need to show love to our beloved ones because of their selfless love, inspiring encouragement and warm help. What other DIY job can we do for our beloved ones?

T: Among these creative ideas, I have listed two popular and easy DIY jobs for you. One is making a cake, the other one is putting up a bookshelf. Please tick your choice on the writing paper.

(Students are encouraged to brainstorm the DIY jobs which they are interested in. The design aims to arouse students’ interest and let them have a clear purpose of their writing task.)

Step 2 DIY-To experience love

Sample writing exploration

1.Encourage Ss to go through the whole article written by Suzy on P52

T: What is genre of the genre of the article?

(The design intends to ask students to focus on format and tense when organizing a diary in the hope that students use propre tenses in a diary.)

2.Get Ss to Skim Suzy’s diary and match the main idea with paragraphs presented on PPT.

Para 1: Why did Suzy do the DIY job? the reason for a DIY job

Para 2-3: How did Suzy make the birthday card?  the process of doing a DIY job

Para 4: What does she hope?  hope/feelings

(The design enables students to have a brief understanding of the sample writing “Suzy’s DIY story” and know the writing structure.)

the reason for a DIY job

1.Get Ss to Scan Para 1 and answer some questions.

1)  T: Why did Suzy do the DIY job?

2)  T: Where did she complete the handmade card? Why?

(By answering these questions about Para1, students know basic elements in a story: time, place, characters, reason)

After knowing the structure and basic elements, help students organize the beginning of the diary.

T: Who do you make a cake/ put up a bookshelf for? Why?

(The design not only directs students to finish the beginning of the diary based on their reasons for their DIY jobs using versatile sentence structures but also enables students to speak English freely in an organized way mentioned above. The atmosphere of the class can be greatly enlivened in a mini speech.)
