Unit 2 Festivals and holidays 写作专项学案
写作目标
结合本单元“节日与假期”主题,写一篇介绍中国传统节日的短文或给外国笔友介绍节日习俗的邮件,描述节日起源、庆祝活动、特色食物及文化意义,达成以下目标:
1.能正确使用本单元“节日与文化”相关核心词汇(如festival、custom、tradition、reunion、celebrate、decorate、lantern、zongzi、mooncake、parade等)及短语(date back、set off fireworks、hang couplets、get together、share joy、pay respects、dress up等);
2.能熟练运用状语(时间、地点、方式状语)丰富表达,掌握一般现在时描述节日常态习俗,用一般过去时叙述节日经历,正确使用“it is a symbol of...”等常用结构;
3.能按“节日引入→核心细节(习俗/活动)→文化感悟”的逻辑完成写作,贴合“传承文化根脉,共享节日温情”的单元主题。
题目解析
1.体裁:节日介绍类说明文或跨文化沟通类邮件,兼具纪实性与文化传播性;
2.人称:第一人称(分享节日经历、感受)或第三人称(客观介绍节日)为主;
3.核心要求
○ 内容:覆盖“1个核心节日、2-3个关键细节(起源、习俗、特色食物)、1个文化意义或情感表达”3个要点;
○ 字数:80–100词,描述准确生动或情感真挚自然,语言符合八年级学生水平,体现对传统文化的理解与跨文化沟通意识。
思路点拨
1.开头:明确引入核心节日(如春节、中秋节、端午节),用简洁句式点明节日时间(农历日期)、核心定位(如“中国最重要的传统节日”),用情感化语言引出下文具体描述;
2.中间:若介绍节日,按“起源传说→庆祝习俗→特色食物”展开,描述节日的历史渊源(如“起源于纪念屈原”)、典型活动(如“贴春联、赛龙舟、赏月”)、特色美食(如“粽子、月饼、饺子”),结合单元核心短语补充细节,用状语清晰说明时间、地点或方式;若写跨文化邮件,聚焦“节日特色→习俗意义→邀请体验”,详细说明节日的独特魅力,解释习俗背后的文化内涵(如“团圆、祈福”),用亲切语气传递文化温度;
3.结尾:分享节日感悟(如“节日是亲情的纽带” “文化的传承”)或发出邀请(如“欢迎来中国体验”),呼应单元“节日是文化的载体,连接过去与现在”的核心主题,传递对传统文化的热爱与包容的文化态度。

范文
My Favorite Festival: The Dragon Boat Festival
The Dragon Boat Festival, also called Duanwu Festival, is a traditional Chinese festival. It is on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, dating back over 2,000 years.
This festival honors the great poet Qu Yuan. On this day, people in southern China hold exciting dragon boat races. The long boats look like dragons, and players row to the beat of drums. My family and I often make zongzi together—we wrap glutinous rice with bamboo leaves, sometimes adding pork or red beans. It’s fun to shape the zongzi and share them with neighbors. We also hang calamus and wormwood around the door to keep away insects.
The Dragon Boat Festival is a symbol of Chinese patriotism and tradition. It reminds us of the importance of loving our country and respecting our ancestors. I love this festival because it combines fun activities, delicious food, and deep cultural meaning.
范文中文翻译
我最喜欢的节日:端午节
端午节,又称端阳节,是中国的传统节日。它在农历五月初五,有着超过两千年的历史。
这个节日是为了纪念伟大的诗人屈原。在这一天,中国南方的人们会举行激动人心的龙舟比赛。长长的船看起来像龙,选手们跟着鼓声划船。我和家人经常一起包粽子——我们用竹叶包裹糯米,有时会加入猪肉或红豆。包粽子并和邻居分享的过程很有趣。我们还会在门口挂菖蒲和艾草来驱虫。
端午节是中国爱国主义和传统的象征,它提醒我们爱国和尊重祖先的重要性。我喜欢这个节日,因为它融合了有趣的活动、美味的食物和深厚的文化内涵。
