摘要:
该初中英语课件围绕“互联网影响的议论文写作”,通过Free talk(日常依赖互联网的例子、过度上网的负面影响)激活学生经验,再经Read and match(匹配积极影响与例子)、Try to write(合并观点与例子成段落)等活动,搭建从核心词汇(如“stay in touch with friends”)、句型到篇章结构(观点-证据-结论)的学习支架,帮助学生逐步掌握写作方法。
其亮点在于融合语言能力、思维品质与学习能力培养,通过“Add and share”让学生补充正反影响(如增加“信息泄露风险”“提升沟通效率”),培养批判性思维,“Check and revise”结合自评互评强化学习能力。采用任务型活动链,总结部分梳理议论文要素与有用词汇,学生能提升写作与思辨能力,教师可直接利用连贯活动提高教学效率。
