III. Teaching Methods
Lecture method, discussion method, practice method
IV. Teaching Procedures
(1) Introduction (5 minutes)
- Play a piece of soothing music. After listening, ask students about their feelings and guide them to share how music influences their lives, leading to the reading-writing theme of “the influence of music.”
(2) Reading Instruction (15 minutes)
1. Fast Reading:
- Students quickly skim the reading text about David Smith and answer: “What is the main idea of the passage?” to grasp the overall theme.
2. Detailed Reading:
- Students read the text again and complete tasks:
- Identify vocabulary and sentences describing David Smith’s mood during his illness.
- Analyze how music helped David Smith.
- Summarize the viewpoints and examples of music’s role mentioned in the text.
3. Vocabulary Explanation:
- Teach key vocabulary and phrases in the text, such as “serious illness,” “discouraged,” “work wonders,” etc., using example sentences to aid understanding and memorization.
4. Text Analysis:
- Analyze the text structure and writing ideas with students, sorting out the logical sequence through which the author explains music’s influence.
(3) Writing Instruction (20 minutes)
1. Writing Task Explanation:
- Present the writing prompt, clarifying the task: write about “What does music bring to me?” by integrating note content and expanding appropriately.
2. Structure Analysis:
- Analyze the structure of a model essay with students:
- Introduction: Use a metaphor to introduce the importance of music.
- Body: Elaborate on music’s influence from different aspects (e.g., providing hope and strength, building relationships, broadening horizons) with personal experiences.
- Conclusion: Summarize music’s role in enriching life and call for valuing music.
3. Content Expansion Guidance:
- Guide students to expand note points, e.g.:
- For “give me hope and strength,” share experiences of振作起来 (recovering morale) through a song after exam failures or competition losses.
- For “build a good relationship,” narrate stories of making friends through music clubs or activities.
4. Language Use Guidance:
- Remind students to use varied sentence patterns and linking words (e.g., “not only…but also…,” “therefore,” “besides”) to enhance coherence.
- Encourage replacing common words with advanced vocabulary (e.g., use “enrich” instead of “make…richer”).
(4) In-Class Practice and Guidance (10 minutes)
- Students practice writing while the teacher circulates to correct issues in grammar, spelling, and logical expression.
(5) Writing Feedback and Summary (5 minutes)
- Display and comment on selected student compositions. First, have students self-evaluate and peer-review based on content completeness, logical clarity, and language accuracy.
- The teacher provides supplementary feedback, emphasizing common issues and improvement directions.
- Summarize the lesson’s key points, reviewing music’s influence in the reading text and writing essentials.
V. Teaching Resources
Textbook materials, multimedia equipment (for playing music)
VI. Teaching Reflection
- Monitor students’ participation and comprehension, providing extra guidance to less advanced learners.
- In the writing feedback session, further encourage students to voice their opinions and improve autonomous learning and evaluation skills.
