Activity 2
Dear Mum and Dad,
Thank you so much for allowing me to go on this journey!It has been a wonderful trip so far,and I love Canada!
We started in Vancouver,where we went shopping for gifts and then went hiking. Unfortunately,it rained the first day we were there,but then it became clear afterthat.Then we took a train to Lake Louise in the Canadian Rockies,and then took a coach through the Rockies to Jasper. The scenery was spectacular-massive forests and mountains,beautiful blue lakes,and all kinds of animals. We even saw a grizzly bear! From there,we took a long-distance train to Toronto. We were amazed by how empty and wide the Canadian Prairie was. It just stretched on and on,as far as the eye could see. But then after we passed Winnipeg we were in a land of lakses and hills. It was so beautiful.Toronto was amazing. We went up the CN Tower and were surprised because we could see clouds rising from the Niagara Falls across the lake. Then we had dinner in Chinatown with Lin Fei. From there we travelled to Montreal where we went shopping in the old town. Then we stopped at a restaurant where we met a cool guy named Jean-Philippe. He's a photographer. He told us all about Montreal and its culture. Do you know that nearly everyone there speaks French? Luckily,mnany of them speak English as well, Finally,we caught the train to Halifax.It has been a great trip,filling us with so many happy
memories. We plan on spending about a week here getting rested up from our journey,and then we'll fly home.
Love,
Daiyu

(设计意图:让学生交换初稿,利用评价清单润色改进自己的写作,使内容更加完整,符合逻辑,语言准确恰当。)
Step V 核心素养专练
1.Continue to polish the draft.
2. Read through the passage on page 85 of the textbook and finish the writing.
Suggested answer:
My plan is to go hiking in the Grand Canyon,as I want to see the beautiful scenery there and experience the wonders of one of the largest canyons on earth. Since the Colorado River flows through the canyon,finding water to drink is not an issue. However,many of the paths are quite rocky and narrow with a high cliff on one side,so it can be difficult and dangerous to hike there. Another danger is wild animals,such as rattlesnakes,mountain lions,scorpions,and skunks. On the other hand,the colours and natural wonders inside the canyon are beautiful and hiking in the canyon would help me learn more about its unique geography,along with its plants and animals. It's true that it might be a little dangerous hiking in such a place,but to be alone under the open sky will fill me with great peace and allow me to clear my mind and focus on the positive things in my life. And to challenge myself with the difficulty seems like a wonderful experience. I think we can learn a great deal from travelling as Xu Xiake did.
教学反思
本节是一节读写课,主题是“写关于横跨加拿大的旅行日志”。整个授课流程按照“文本内容理解一文本结构和语言特点分析-写作情境设置一完成写作任务-展示写作成果”的顺序展开,贯彻了读写一体的课堂教学思路,将语言学习、文化渗透和思维发展有机地融为一体,充分体现了新教材的编写理念和英语教学改革的方向。阅读过程注重对语篇结构的把握,引导学生通过观察梳理游记的结构和语言特点,掌握相关的句型表达,为语言输出做了充足的准备。整个写作过程设计合理,明确写作任务,进行写作准备,按照提纲完成初稿,利用评价清单润色改进自己的写作,与同伴互评修改,最后确定终稿。
本节课的不足之处:
在最后的写作环节中,学生组织语篇的能力欠缺,上下文不够流畅做不到有理有据,出现了一些语法问题。还有部分同学没有完成写作任务。
改进措施:
平时引导学生重视积累写作常见的表达,把握课堂每个环节的时间,指导学生高效写作,并留出足够的课堂时间让他们展示。
