My parents could not get home that night because of the heavy snow.
III. Focus of the lesson and predicted area of difficulty
1. Organize ideas by drawing up an outline;
2. Write an article about a natural disaster in easy and clear English.
IV. Teaching procedures
Step 1 Lead-in
1. Compare two articles
T: Today I am going to tell you a story about how Timmy survived the 1999 Taiwan earthquake. Listen to this, please
In 1999, a terrible earthquake happened in Taiwan.
At first Timmy was sleeping. When he felt the shaking, he wanted to run out of the building, but he failed. And unluckily he was trapped in the dark. After that, he calmed down and tried to find his way out.
At last, some people heard him and saved him.
T: What do you think of the story? Do you think I’m good at telling stories? Why or why not?
Is there anything good in my story?
T: Here are some good points and bad points of my version. So you all think Timmy’s version is better than mine. And I agree with you. Now let’s go over the structure of Timmy’s version. In Timmy’s version we can see the changes of his feelings, and we can see how terrible the earthquake was. It seems that we were there with him at that time. How do we have such feelings? First, articles in the first person make it easier for readers to have the same feelings as the writer’s. Second, facts in details help support the writer’s opinion.
2. Work out the structure
T: Now I think you know how to write a natural disaster. Maybe we can give Timmy’s version a little bit change.
e.g.: At last, I was safe. I was so happy to see the bright daylight again.
Step 2 Presentation
1. Read Part A on page 102
T: This week, a snowstorm hit Beijing. Our friend Sandy wants to write about it. And before writing she makes some notes. Let’s have a look.
2. Have a discussion
T: “A sandstorm happened in Beijing on Friday, 5 January.” “There was a sandstorm in Beijing on Friday, 5 January.” Which is better? Why? What about this one? Why? A sandstorm hit Beijing on Friday, 5 January. Some verbs can bring clear pictures in readers’ mind.
T: Here is an interesting example: “越来越多的人开始骑自行车” So, suitable words, phrases or sentence structures can help make your article better.
3. Finish the table
Find out the detail about the sandstorm and fill up the table.
4. Answer the question
T: Why did I stay at Millie’s home?
(The snow was very heavy. My parents couldn’t get home. Millie asked me to go to her home. My parents agreed and her parents agreed, too.)
T: As teenagers, you shouldn’t sleep outside without permission because you’re not old enough to do so. Remember to give more details and then readers will know how terrible the snowstorm was.
