Review.
What happened to the girl?
How did it make her feel?
What did she do to solve her problem?
What has she learned from it?
下面进入具体的教学环节。首先,教师提示学生可以通过复习上一课时所学的的内容,发现一些可以应用到自身写作中的表达方式。所以先请学生回答以下问题What happened to the girl? How did it make her feel? What did she do to solve her problem? What has she learned from it?

Review.
What happened?
How did it make her feel?
What did she do to solve her problem?
What has she learned from it?
From pain to gain
教师此时让学生打开课本,找出能够回答每个问题的原文内容。教师首先可以提问What happened to the girl? 学生便能够找到语篇中的I tried out for the basketball team, but the coach said I wasn’t tall enough. Back then, I was so disappointed at being too short and failing to get on the basketball team.这些语句。教师继续提问How did it make her feel? 学生找到相关的句子:I feel very bad… Back then, I was so disappointed at being too short. I was so hurt by my failure back then. Basketball was really a big deal for me. I couldn’t help laughing at my heartbreaking words.
在此,教师提示学生作者使用的描述自身经历和感受的词组和句型也可以迁移到自己的写作中。

What happened?
How did it make her feel?
What did she do to solve her problem?
What has she learned from it?
From pain to gain
教师询问学生What did she do to solve her problem? 学生在文章中会找到“Why not try something else, like swimming or skiing?” suggested my best friend. At first, I swam just to take my mind off things. But soon, I fell completely in love with the sport. I‘ve won several competitions now and I’ve made a lot of friends. My life has taken a different turn.这些语句
最后,教师请学生找到文章中能够回答What has she learned from it?这一问题的相关语句。学生在语篇中找出以下句子:Now I understand that failure is a part of life. It may fall upon us at any stage in our lives. I know clearly that failure lasts just a moment. When one door closes, another opens. Life is waiting for us with many other surprises.教师引导学生关注本页汇总的语言内容,同样强调其中的词组、句型也可以在学生自己的写作中活学活用。

在进行完自我检查后,学生可以两人一组,按照Step3的评价标准进行互评,然后根据同伴的合理意见进行完善。

Last year, I failed to join the school band. During the tryout, I was so nervous that a big mistake was made. My face turned red when everyone looked at me.
I was hurt by my failure. It was painful because I knew I could play well. I was really disappointed in myself.
But I didn’t want to give up. I practised harder and performed with friends to overcome shyness. I started to think about my failure in a different way. It taught me a lesson and made me stronger. Later, I joined the band successfully.
Now I understand that failure is a part of life. It helps us improve. Don’t be afraid of it!
Sample
