Unit 4 A good read Study skills 教学设计 I. Teaching Objectives 1. Knowledge Objectives Students will master transitional words/phrases (e.g., because, for example, moreover) and their uses (time, sequence, addition, etc.). Students will apply transitions to connect ideas in writing, using Sandy’s article as a model. 2. Ability Objectives Improve writing skills by identifying and using transitions to create coherent articles. Enhance critical thinking by analyzing how transitions link ideas logically. 3. Affective Objectives Foster clarity and flow in writing, encouraging thoughtful organization of ideas. Build confidence in expressing literary opinions with structured, connected thoughts. II. Language Knowledge 1. Key Words & Phrases Transitional words/phrases: because, for example, moreover, first, next; Usage categories: time, sequence, addition, example, cause - effect; Expressions: “connect ideas in an article,” “show relationships between thoughts.” 2. Key Sentences “When we write an article, we have different ways to connect the ideas in it. Here are some common transitions.” “I like novels. I enjoy reading the books of Robert Louis Stevenson because I find them really exciting. For example, Treasure Island tells the story of a young boy...” 3. Key and Challenging Points Key Points: Identify transitions in text and understand their usage categories. Challenging Points: Choosing appropriate transitions to link diverse ideas smoothly. III. Teaching Procedures (Total Duration: 45 Minutes) Step 1 Introduction to Transitions (8 Minutes) Show Sandy’s article and ask: “How do the ideas flow? What words/phrases connect sentences (e.g., because, for example)?” Introduce the topic: “Today, we’ll learn transitional words—tools to make your writing clear, logical, and engaging!” Step 2 Transition Explanation & Practice (12 Minutes) Rule Presentation: Explain transition categories (time, sequence, addition, etc.) using the table. Model with examples (e.g., “for example” → addition of detail). Highlight how transitions show relationships (e.g., “because” → cause - effect). Practice: Students identify transitions in Sandy’s article, labeling their usage (e.g., “because” → cause - effect). Step 3 Applying Transitions (15 Minutes) Task: Students rewrite a short, disjointed paragraph about reading, adding transitions to connect ideas. Group Work: Pairs discuss transition choices, ensuring logical links (e.g., “first” for sequence, “moreover” for addition). Step 4 Sharing & Reflecting (8 Minutes) Share - out: Invite pairs to present their revised paragraphs, explaining transition usage. Reflection: Discuss: “How do transitions improve writing? What’s one transition you’ll use more?” Step 5 Summary & Homework (2 Minutes) Summary (1 Minute): Recap transition categories and their role in connecting ideas. Homework (1 Minute): Writing: Write a paragraph about your favorite book genre, using at least 3 transitions. Reflection: List transitions used and their categories. IV. Assessment of Teaching Effectiveness Check transition identification in Sandy’s article for accuracy. Evaluate revised paragraphs for appropriate transition use and logical flow. V. Design Purpose Introduction: Use a relatable article to highlight transition importance. Explanation/Practice: Break down transition types and apply to writing. Sharing: Reinforce learning through peer explanation and reflection. VI. Blackboard Design Unit 4 Study skills—Transitions Between Ideas Transition Categories & Examples: - Cause - effect: because, so - Example: for example - Addition: moreover, also - Sequence: first, next Homework: Write a genre paragraph with transitions! VII. Teaching Reflection Strengths: Transitions are clearly explained and applied to literary writing. Weaknesses: Some students may struggle to choose transitions for complex ideas. Improvements: Add a “transition sorting” game: Sort sentences by transition category in groups. This boosts recognition and application. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
