I. Analysis of the Teaching Material
This is the Writing section of Unit 1. Building on the previous listening, speaking and reading work, students are required to imitate a model and complete a short English passage of 60–80 words on the theme of “My Personal Profile / My Family”, turning language from “input” into “output”. It is a key point for the comprehensive use of the unit language and lays a foundation for introduction-type practical writing in later units.
II. Analysis of the Students
Students have already learned expressions of personal information, family members and jobs in the previous periods, so they have the basic vocabulary and sentence patterns needed for writing. However, most students are weak at spelling and lack a sense of complete sentences, and commonly suffer from “not knowing how to start, translating word by word, and being afraid of making mistakes”. Therefore, this lesson follows the process-writing path of “model text analysis → scaffolding → tiered guided writing → multi-evaluation”, so that students of every level can complete a qualified draft and experience the joy of writing.
III. Teaching Objectives (Based on Core Competencies)
1. Workplace language communication: Students can write a 60–80-word self/family introduction by imitating the model, correctly using the verb “be” and possessive adjectives, with authentic content, clear structure and neat handwriting.
2. Awareness of thinking differences: Students perceive the “general–specific–general” paragraph structure of English writing and its difference from Chinese thinking, and master writing conventions such as capitalising the first letter of a sentence, ending punctuation, and always capitalising “I”.
3. Cross-cultural understanding: Students learn the content boundaries and appropriate expressions of English self-introduction, compare Chinese and Western views of family, and naturally express love for their family in writing.
4. Autonomous learning: Students can self- and peer-assess their drafts with a checklist and then revise them, developing the “write – check – revise” habit.
IV. Key Points and Difficult Points
Key points: (1) analysis of the model's three-part structure (basic information at the beginning — family in the body — feelings at the end); (2) accurate written use of core sentence patterns (There are four people in my family. / My father is a driver.).
Difficult points: (1) correct agreement between the verb “be” (am/is/are) and the subject; (2) English writing conventions (capitalising the first letter, capitalising proper nouns, punctuation and spacing); (3) turning oral expressions into standard, coherent written English.
V. Teaching Methods and Preparation
Teaching methods: Process genre writing approach (model analysis → scaffolded imitation → evaluation and revision), task-driven teaching, and cooperative group learning.
Preparation: model text, tiered writing worksheets, writing checklists, a visualiser/projector, and a “Best Writing” display wall.
VI. Teaching Procedures
Stage
Teacher's Activities
Students' Activities
Purpose
Step1 Lead-in
(5 min)
1. Create the situation: the class is going to make a “New Students' Profile Wall” and every student needs to hand in an English profile card.
2. Show the teacher's own English profile card (with a photo, name, age, hometown, family members and hobbies) and read it aloud as a model.
1. Understand the real situation behind the writing task.
2. Look at the profile card and understand what the final product looks like.
A real task drives the writing and makes students understand that they “write to communicate”, which stimulates writing motivation.
Step 2
Pre-writing: Model Text Analysis
(12 min)
1. Present the model My Personal Profile (see Appendix 1); students read it quickly and answer: How many people are there in Li Hua's family?
2. Guide students to analyse the three-paragraph structure and complete a structure table: Para 1 basic information (name / age / hometown / school / major) → Para 2 family (members / jobs) → Para 3 feelings (I love my family.).
3. Circle useful words and sentences, and work out the “Writing Tool Box” together: My name is… / I'm… years old. / I come from… / There are… people in my family. / My father is a… / I love my family very much.
4. Stress writing conventions: capitalise the first letter of a sentence, capitalise proper nouns, end punctuation, and leave spaces between words.
1. Read the model silently for the general idea.
2. Discuss in groups, fill in the structure table and understand what to write in each paragraph.
3. Circle the patterns and read the “Writing Tool Box” aloud together.
4. Memorise the key writing conventions.
Model analysis answers “what to write and how to write”; the tool box provides language scaffolding for tiered writing; conventions come first to reduce careless errors.
Step3 While-writing: Tiered Guided Writing
(15 min)
1. Release the tiered writing tasks: Level C (weaker) — complete a gap-filling frame composition; Level B (average) — semi-independent writing with an outline; Level A (stronger) — free writing, possibly adding hobbies and personality.
2. Students finish the first draft within 15 minutes; the teacher circulates, helping Level C students in particular with words and sentence patterns.
3. The teacher notes common problems (e.g. wrong use of “be”) for concentrated feedback in the evaluation stage.
1. Choose the task matching their own level.
2. Complete the draft independently, referring to the “Writing Tool Box” when necessary.
Tiered tasks ensure that “everyone can write and everyone produces something”; time-limited practice trains concentration and exam writing rhythm; circulating offers individualised guidance.
Step4 Post-writing: Evaluation and Revision
(10 min)
1. Guide students to self-assess against the checklist: Is the content complete? Is the verb “be” correct? Is the first letter capitalised? Is the handwriting neat?
2. Peer assessment: exchange drafts with deskmates using “Two Stars and a Wish” — write down two highlights and one suggestion.
3. Display 1–2 typical drafts with the visualiser; the whole class comments and revises them together.
4. Give feedback on the common problems found while circulating.
1. Self-assess item by item with the checklist.
2. Exchange drafts, and write comments for their partners.
3. Join the class discussion and learn from good examples.
Self-assessment promotes reflection and peer assessment promotes communication; whole-class revising of typical drafts teaches students “what and how to revise”, implementing assessment-for-writing.
Step5 Summary
(2 min)
1. Review the three-part structure chart and the four writing conventions together, and read the rhyme aloud: “Tell who I am at the start, two or three sentences about my family, express my love at the end.”
1. Recall the key structural points and read the rhyme together.
A rhymed summary makes the structure easy to remember and transfer.
Step6 Homework Assignment
(1 min)
1. Revise and neatly copy the final draft onto the profile card for the “Profile Wall”.
2. Optional: make an English “Family Tree” poster with a 3–5 sentence introduction.
1. Write down the homework.
Revising and copying consolidates the outcome; the poster task integrates subjects and continues family-affection education.
VII. Blackboard Design
Unit 1 Personal and Family Life — Writing: My Personal Profile
[Three-part structure] [Writing Tool Box]
(1) Basic information (who I am) My name is… / I'm… years old.
name → age → hometown → school/major I come from… / Now I am a student at…
(2) My family There are… people in my family.

(Reminders: capitalise the first letter / end punctuation / capital “I”)
VIII. Homework (Tiered)
Level A (required): (1) Revise and neatly copy the final draft according to the self- and peer-assessment comments; (2) memorise the patterns in the “Writing Tool Box”.
Level B (optional): Make an English Family Tree poster with a 3–5 sentence family introduction to enter the class “Profile Wall” exhibition.
