高中英语How to write a suggestion letter一堂建议信写作课教学设计
How to write a suggestion letter一堂建议信写作课教学设计课题内容：应用文建议信的写作
教学目标：1. 以适应性测试中学生所写的优秀作文作为范文，通过巧妙引导和任务设计使学生了解建议信的结构框架。
2. 根据所展示的所学的语言知识为词汇和句型载体，
进行建议信的写作。
3. 培养学生学习英语的兴趣和应用英语的能力。
教学意图：
英语新课程标准强调根据学生认知能力发展的特点，进一步提高语言综合运用能力。写作本身是用英语进行思维和表达思想感情的一种方式，是语言能力的综合反映。英语写作教学要求关注的不仅是教法而且是学法，强调以学生为中心，注重基础，注重过程，加强综合能力发展、技巧指导等原则，对学生进行相关的写作训练和指导。
应用文的建议信的写作训练，要求学生熟悉英语建议信文体的文章结构，组词成句，组句成段，组段成篇的特点，以及学习应用文建议信的相关的写作技巧。注重以任务型写作教学模式最大限度地调动学生的主观能动性，培养他们运用语言，克服苦难，完成任务，由此进行课堂写作训练和指导。

Ⅱ.Sample letter written by Ma Yan
Dear Mayor,
I’m Li Hua, a senior high school student. As we know, as the number of cars grows, the roads get crowded. The traffic jam becomes a problem which attracts people’s more attention. As far as I am concerned, the government must take measures to solve the problem immediately. And I have some advice about the problem.
At first, we should appeal to people to take buses, ride bicycles or walk.
Secondly, the government should increase the number of buses and improve the bus drivers’ wages and treatment.
At last, the government need build more roads and overpasses.
I’m looking forward to your reply. That’s all.
With the best wishes,
Li Hua Ⅲ.Structure of a suggestion letter
Have one student say something about the structure of the suggestion letter and teacher makes a conclusion of the structure of the suggestion. (Show them on the blackboard)
(Blackboard)The beginning part --- to whom do you write/ greetings
The body part –one’s advice or suggestions on certain problems.
The ending part—express one’s hope or wishes / name of writer.
（教师通过复习全疆第一次适应性测试的书面表达的题目和学生所写的优秀范文，引入本课的课题内容——学习写建议信，并通过学生的范文让学生观察讨论总结出建议信的文章结构。为接下来的写作练习做好铺垫。）
Step2 Pre-writing
Activity1--Adding more information
Some good example sentences of beginnings and endings are offered to help students to learn how to begin/end the suggestion letter. Ask students to read the sentences individually and make sure they know the meanings of these sentences.
Ⅰ. How to begin the letter.
1. I was delighted to receive your letter of January 5th.
2.From your letter I learned that you have some
difficulty in learning mathematics. I am writing to give you some advice about it.

(学生根据教师的指示，在这部分可以了解建议信中可以使用到
的开头和结尾的句子和句型结构，对接下来的写作很有帮助，也可以帮助学生积累句型结构。)
Activity2--- Making Sentences.
Have students use the sentences patterns to make sentences according to Chinese sentences. Then check the answers by asking several students to speak out their sentences one by one. The teacher can give students some help if necessary.
Ⅰ.Ways of putting forward suggestions
?I think that
?I suggest that
?I’d like to suggest/advise that
?I suggest doing
?I’d like to advise you to do…
?My suggestion/advice to you is that

?From my point of view
?As far as I am concerned,…

(提建议是建议信写作的重点部分，学生可以了解不同的提出建议的句型，并且也鼓励学生有意识的分类积累句型，并且通过造句可以使学生学习如何使用一些较难的句型结构，并且在接下来的写作训练中，学生就会知道怎么将有用的信息和这个句型组合使用，提高自己
的运用语言的能力。)
Step 3—While Writing.
Activity1—Students read the following letter and answer the following question.
Question: What problem does sunny have?
Give students 1 minute to read the letter and think about the question. Then ask one student to answer the question.
Suggested answers:
⑴She doesn’t know how to get along with her classmate.
⑵She doesn’t know how to deal with the relationship between her
classmates and her .
(这部分的设计是为了让学生明白信件内容，是就什么问题提出建议，从而在后面的写作训练中更有针对性和目的性，提的建议更切实可行。)
1. 下面是一个中学生给某报编辑部写的一封信，仔细阅读并就信的
内容以编辑的名义给此中学生回一封信。
Dear editor,
I am an active girl, and I speak and laugh loudly in the classroom, like a boy. I don’t car e about small matters. On the contrary, my neighbor, the girl who sits next to me, speaks quietly and dare not do the things I often do. I can understand this.
What I can’t stand is that she often gets angry with me about small things. How can I get along with her?
Yours,
Sunny ,
注意：1)．书信格式要规范；
2)．回信需就原信内容给出至少三条建议（如谈心，相互理解，
请她参加你和你们班同学的生日等活动，谈论共同话题，
分享快乐等等）；
3)．字数：120左右。
Activities 2—Offer some useful phrases.
Some useful phrases are offered to help students get more information while writing. Students have 2 minutes to discuss the suggestions which are offered in writing requirements and try to put them into English phrases. 2 minutes later, have several groups show their phrases.

2. 主体时态：一般现在时。
3. 主体人称：第二人称。
4. 内容要点：①问题介绍；②建议一；③建议二；④建议三；⑤我的愿望。
(这部分的设计是为接下来的写作打基础，帮助学生学会审题和提供
有用的短语和句型，对于基础薄弱的学生有很大的帮助，让他们有内容可写，减少挫败感，提高他们在小组活动中的参与度，增强学习英语的信心，慢慢消除对于书面表达的畏惧心理。)
Activity 4 ---- Group discussion ﹠Group writing

2. Share your opinion with your group members.

Step 4—Post writing

Activity 2—Checking.

(这个部分是写组的后续活动也是写作训练的一个反馈，通过集体修改加深了学生对写作建议信的基本方法的了解，也提供一个平台让学生交流，共享他们的学习成果，从别人的成果中学到新的东西为以后
的写作提供更多的语言素材。)
Step 5.Homework

【反思与启示】
英语写作能力是衡量学生英语综合运用能力的重要标准之一，但它也是英语的教和学中比较困难的一个部分。因此英语的写作教学方法的选择是值得教师进行探讨和研究的。
1.本设计显示的学生通过总结归纳紧接着的写作训练的教学方
法。该方法的教学目的就是让学生在高考的书面表达能拿到
分，拿到高分。本节课的设计都是根据学生的基本情况从实
际出发，在短时间内最大限度的提高学生书面表达的成绩。
因此教师通过Review和Structure analysis 这两部分的设计，
不仅展示了学生的优秀范文。而更主要的是让学生以范文作
为媒介来了解建议信的框架特点。
2.有一位语言教学者说：“写作是一个复杂的思维过程，因此要
为学生创造一个积极，合作和富有创造性的写作环境，使学
生们乐于写作，充分发挥他们的写作能力。”我在Pre-writing
部分给学生列出了写建议信需要的开头和结尾，并且还进行
了提建议句型的单句翻译训练，目的就是为新的语言环境的
写作提供了写作的语言素材和写作框架。这样就减少了学生
在写作的过程中的困难，缓解了要写英语作文的焦虑和畏惧
心情，激发了他们的创作欲望。
3.将学生按照五人一组的学习小组的形式分配，并且每一组都
有两名程度较好的学生，这就使小组合作学习得到了实施，
小组中基础薄弱的学生也会得到程度较好的学生的帮助，不
至于在小组学习时感到无助或是无所事事。
4.本设计的不足之处应该是时间分配上不足，给学生写作的时
间明显不够。而且在Post-writing 部分应该加入
Group-checking 的再展示，这样可以教会学生在写作完毕之
后对自己的文章进行检查修改，避免不必要的错误。
【教学再设计】
1.在 Pre-writing 部分的 activity 2 Making Sentences
这个活动的设计可以将其放在课前，学生课前完成，在课
堂上进行检查。既可以节省课堂时间，也可以检测学生的
自我完成能力。
2.在Post-writing 部分的可以先找两个组的作文进行投影
展示和评改，而后再要求各组根据老师刚才的评讲来检查
各自小组的作文或是小组之间相互交换检查，而后再进行
展示。
