34、学生综合运用语言的能力，学以致用。 ）教学反思：优点：1. 按照八年级英语写作课的过程性写作模式：写前 展示目标(单元)话题复习热身导入看图说话谈论事件文体结构分析展示标准谈论实际 写中 拟定提纲起草初稿修改初稿 写后 典型展示师生评价生生互评接龙游戏反思目标布置作业。环环相扣，步步为营。这不仅有助于学生形成合理的写作思路，养成良好的写作习惯，而且有利于降低写作难度，培养学生写作自信心。2.在复习环节，对阅读课中所涉及的两个美国历史上的重大事件进行了段落分析，意在加深学生对 2b 课文的脉络，为本节课的写作做好铺垫。3. 由刚发生不久且学生非常熟悉和关注的马航 MH370 失联事件进行导入，充

36、，否则会前松后紧。3.复习完美国历史上的两个重大事件后，让学生自己总结这三段话分别写的什么内容，理清文章脉络，有助于学生复述课文，也有利于学生进行写作练习。答案：Step1.
