How to make the action description more vivid?
教学目标
1. Students are able to acquire the three skills of how to describe the actions vividly.
2. Students are able to apply the skills/ sentence patterns to describe actions vividly.
教学重难点
Students can make the action description more vivid in their continuous writing.
设计思路
本节微课通过疯狂动物城中朱迪要离开兔子镇,与父母在车站告别后,朱迪踏上列车,她初到疯狂动物城惊喜、好奇。以本视频导入,搭建语料背景,引导学生构思文本。紧接着给出一段在表达上平平无奇的英语文本,要求学生进行选词填空。引导学生思考, 指出表达上存在的问题。使用情境教学的方式,老师通过大量的例子进行技巧讲解,再用所学的技巧对的文本进行改写和升级,帮助学生学以致用。在课堂教学中,逐步深入,帮助学生在读后续写中塑造饱满、细腻、立体的人物动作画面感才能让人物栩栩如生。
教学过程
内 容
时间
1、 开头
Step 1: Greeting and leading in
Activity 1: Watch the video.
The teacher greets the student and then leads the student to watch the video.(教师向学生打招呼,观看视频导入课堂)
教师:Hello,!Welcome to my English micro-class.In this class, we are going to talk about how to make the action description more vivid. Firstly, let me introduce you, Judy, a lovely rabbit. Now, let's watch a video about her and her first trip to Zootopia.
2、 正文讲解
Activity 2:Fill in the blanks with the given words.(选择动词完成短文)
The teacher leads the student to choose the proper verbs for the passage.(观看视频后,教师呈现一篇范文,学生选择合适的动词填空)
教师:Now read the passage and fill in the blanks by using the words from the word bank to describe the story. (呈现视频文本,学生选择恰当的动词填空)
Activity 3:Observe and think
The teacher leads the student to analyze the chosen verbs and think about if they can help to describe the story vividly and interestingly.Then the teacher shows the skills to use the verbs. (教师引导学生思考,发现问题。)
教师:Look at the words in the blanks and what can you find? I bet you have noticed that all the words we just used are verbs. And they're used to describe actions. But the words we just used describing actions are quite simple and boring. So the story is a little boring and plain. Can we revise the story into a vivid and interesting one by upgrading action description? Of course, we can. Today, I have three strategies for you. Follow me and after class, I believe you can make your action description vivid.
Step 2: Strategy presentation and practice
Strategy 1.Upgrade vocabulary(呈现第一条技巧,用细节词替换笼统词)
教师:The first strategy is to upgrade words by using specific actions of body parts.(Look at Judy. From head to toe, what actions can she do? Obviously, she can see, talk, cry, walk, run and so on. But these descriptions are quite simple. Why not use the specific actions listed on the right side? By using verbs like glance, shout, whisper, rush to describe actions, Judy has become alive.
Strategy 2. Build an action chain .(第二个技巧拆解核心动词,构造动作链)
教师:Look at the picture . What is Judy doing ? Judy is getting on the train. Obviously, with only one action , the description is not as vivid and interesting as the pictures . So, here we use the 2nd strategy -build an action chain for the picture. We can divide a resulting action into several detailed micro actions based on time order and build an action chain .
We can divide the action-getting on the train into several detailed actions based on the time order. (呈现Judy上火车的图片,然后分解动作:看见火车进站---朝火车跑去---登上火车)saw the train first, then rushed to the train and last got on the train. So the action could be described as:Judy saw the train arrive, rushed to the train and got on it.(根据时间轴动作流程图)So we can get the first sentence structure: A, B and C.
比如: 2023年新高考1卷 写作比赛,老师,我,颁奖典礼
我看着观众,深吸一口气,说到:“谢谢我的老师。”I glanced at the audience, took a deep breath and said, “Thank my teacher!”
老师:We can use “and” to connect different verbs. Is that the only way?.(提问学生,思考一下除了and连接多个动词,我们还可以怎么办?我们保留核心动词,其他动词按照时间关系采用相对应的非谓语形式。)Of course not, we can use non-finite verb. let’s read the sentence again: Which action happens first? Yes, see, this action happens first, so here we can use having seen to describe the first action. So the original sentence can be described as Having seen the train arrive, Judy rushed to the train and got on it quickly. (发在较早的动作用having done形式,其余动作做并列谓语
If there are more than 2 actions happening at the same time, we can keep one or two main actions as predicate and use ingform to replace the others. For example, Judy sat in the front of the train and she listened to her favourite music. (保留1个或两个核心动词为谓语,其他同步进行的动作用doing形式。) So we can change the original sentence like this: Judy sat in the front of the train, listening to her favourite music.
Build action chain
(1)原形:Sb did A , did B and did C.(三个并列谓语,动作依次发生)
(2)变形:Having done A, Sb did B (and did C) (同一对象,先做了某事用having done,再发生其他动作)
(3)变形:Sb did A, doing B (and doing C) (同一对象,同时发生不同动作,保留1到两个动作,其余动作用doing)
Strategy 3. Build an action scene. (第三个技巧构造动作面, 肢体动作加上心理、面部、语言等塑造全面立体的动作画面。)
In addition to building an action chain, we can also further upgrade an action chain into an action scene by adding other elements, such as emotion, psychology, and dialogue and facial expressions. How can we achieve this goal? Let’s look at this scene and describe it from multi-perspectives.
1.看见美丽的城市Zootopia渐渐从远方浮现(面部),Judy朝窗户走去(肢体),激动万分(心理)。
Seeing the beautiful city, Zootopia, gradually emerging in the distance, Judy stepped to the window with her heart beating wildly
2.2021年新高考1卷母亲节,twins,爸爸,早餐
看见爸爸(面部), 双胞胎愣在原地(肢体)低着头,心理紧张又害怕(心理)。
Seeing their father, the twins were rooted to the spot and ducked heads, feeling nervous and scared.
Step 3: Practise and consolation.
Activity 1.Polish the action description
教师:Now, all the strategies are well illustrated. It's time for practice. Would you please polish the original story by using the given strategies?
Compared with the original version of the story, the story revised has become more vivid by applying the strategies we learned .
3、 结尾总结
Step 4 Summary.
Activity 1. Summarize the strategies to upgrade vocabulary.
教师:Now let’s review what we have learned today, 3 useful strategies can be used .That is:
1.Upgrade words by using specific verbs.
2.Build action chain
3.Build action scene(body movement + emotion, psychology, dialogue or facial expressions)
四、自我评价
