Video-making Ideas
First,read the passage and get the main idea of the text,then,get the structure and
text type of the passage,next,realize the life experiences and hard choices of Lin
Qiaozhi.However,it is difficult for me to make conclusion through the hard choices
in ppt.In order to make it clear in the class,I use the mind map to show the
experiences and hard choices then reflect her qualities and virtues.Apart from the
chart,I make optional homework based on the different levels of the students.Last
but not least,I make a self-assessment for the students to check their learning in the
class.During making the video,I pay attention to matching the teaching theory with
teaching methods,and I insist on students-centered teaching,for example,there are
individual work,pair work and group work.Through different activities,I make the
clue of teaching key points and difficult points clearly.Moreover,after the end of the
class,I share the video about Lin to help students learn more about Lin Qiaozhi.The
whole class is clear and meaningful.
