Unit 3 Feelings and Emotions-Writing Workshop
This Writing Workshop focuses on guiding students to express and describe feelings and emotions in written form. It builds on the vocabulary and expressions learned in the listening, speaking, and reading sections of Unit 3, such as adjectives describing emotions (e.g., excited, anxious, proud, disappointed) and sentence structures for explaining reasons (e.g., "I felt... because..."). Students will practice writing a personal narrative about an emotional experience, learning to organize ideas logically, use appropriate emotional vocabulary, and connect events to feelings. The workshop includes model texts, guided practice, and peer feedback activities to enhance students' ability to convey emotions effectively in English.

教学过程
Stage 1: Warm-up and Lead-in (5 minutes)
Activity 1: Emotion Charades
Teacher shows pictures of people with different facial expressions (e.g., a smiling child, a worried student).
Students guess the emotion (e.g., "happy", "worried") and say a sentence about when they felt that way: "I feel happy when I get good grades."
Purpose: Activate prior knowledge of emotion vocabulary and engage students.
Stage 2: Model Text Analysis (10 minutes)
Activity 2: Reading and Discussing the Model
Teacher distributes a model narrative titled "My First Speech":
"Last month, I had to give a speech in front of the whole class. At first, I was extremely nervous. My hands shook, and I forgot my words. But when I saw my friend Lily smiling at me, I felt a little better. I took a deep breath and tried again. In the end, everyone clapped loudly. I was so proud of myself!"
Students read the text and answer questions:
What was the event?
What emotions did the writer feel, and when?
How did the writer connect the event to feelings?
Activity 3: Highlighting Key Language
Students work in pairs to underline emotion words ("nervous", "proud") and linking phrases ("At first", "But", "In the end").
Teacher summarizes: A good emotional narrative includes "what happened", "how you felt", and "why you felt that way".
Stage 3: Guided Practice (15 minutes)
Activity 4: Brainstorming
Students complete a worksheet with prompts:
An event that made you feel proud: ___________________
Why did it make you proud? ___________________
How did your body feel? (e.g., "My heart was beating fast") ___________________
Example: "Winning the basketball game → because our team tried hard → I jumped up and down."
Activity 5: Sentence Construction
Using the worksheet, students draft 3-4 sentences. Teacher walks around to assist, focusing on correct use of emotion words.
Example feedback: "Instead of 'I was happy', try 'I was thrilled' to show stronger emotion."
Stage 4: Writing and Peer Review (10 minutes)
Activity 6: Drafting the Narrative
Students expand their sentences into a 100-120 word narrative, following the structure:
Introduction: What was the event?
Body: How did you feel during different parts? Why?
Conclusion: How do you feel about it now?
Activity 7: Peer Review
Students exchange drafts and use a checklist:
Does the writer use specific emotion words?
Are events and feelings connected clearly?
Can you suggest a better word (e.g., "sad" → "heartbroken")?
Stage 5: Summary and Homework (5 minutes)
Summary: Teacher highlights common strengths (e.g., "Many of you used 'thrilled' and 'relieved' well!") and areas to improve (e.g., "Remember to explain why you felt that way").
Homework: Revise the narrative based on peer feedback and add one more detail about their feelings (e.g., "My eyes filled with tears of joy").
教学反思
Strengths:
The warm-up activity effectively engaged students and activated their existing vocabulary.
The model text analysis helped students understand the structure of emotional narratives clearly.
Peer review encouraged collaboration and critical thinking about language use.
Areas for Improvement:
Some students struggled to differentiate between similar emotions (e.g., "nervous" vs. "anxious"). More examples (e.g., "nervous before a test" vs. "anxious about a friend’s health") could be added.
Time management was tight; reducing the brainstorming time by 2 minutes might allow more focus on revision.
Future Adjustments:
Introduce a "Emotion Word Bank" poster in the classroom for quick reference.
Assign a pre-class task: Write 3 sentences about recent emotions to save class time.
Provide additional model texts with subtle emotional changes (e.g., from "worried" to "relieved") for analysis.
