Integrated skills (Ⅱ)
I. Learning objectives
By the end of the lesson, students will be able to:
talk about the development of the Internet;
master the way to write a report.
II. Key competence focus
1. Understand the structure of a report.
2. Master the skills of writing a report.
III. Predicted area of difficulty
1. Present information related to the development of Internet use clearly.
2. Write a report on Internet use.
IV. Teaching procedures
Step 1 Free talk
1. T asks Ss to discuss the following three questions with their partners:
How has the Internet developed over the years
How has Internet use changed in the past five years
What do you think the future of Internet use will be like
2. In terms of the first question, T gives students three suggested questions for reference.
When was the Internet invented
When was the first website built
How many websites were there online in 2014
3. As for the second question, T helps Ss to review the changes in Internet use by analysing the first chart in part B on page 37.
Which online activities have changed mostly in the past five years How do you know it
What other changes do you know about from the chart
4. Further thinking:
What aspects of Internet use are included in these three questions
(History, recent changes and its future.)
5. T asks Ss to talk about Internet use in pairs. Use the three questions and useful expressions in part C on page 38 for reference.
【設計意圖：C部分的三個問題是本節課寫作中的重要組成部分，可先將前兩個問題變為幾個細節性問題，再讓學生暢想和談論第三個問題，這樣既可以讓學生回顧前一節課所學內容，并明白該部分所涉及的關鍵信息點，也可以激活學生思維。本環節在迅速進入本節課主題的同時，既訓練學生口語表達能力，也為接下來的課堂內容做好充分準備。】
Step 2 Presentation
1. T asks Ss to read the information in part D on page 38 and answer the following questions:
(1) Learning about the text type
·What is a report
·What should be paid attention to when you are asked to write a report
(2) Learning about the structure
·How many parts can a report include
·What aspects should be introduced in each part
(3) Learning about the language
·What are the language features of a report
T: Organize the information mentioned in the three questions well, and we can definitely write a nice report to help more people know about Internet use better. To write a report, without doubt, we are supposed to have a further understanding of a report initially.
2. T presents the following statements to students and asks them to decide which of them are facts and which are opinions.
T: Facts and statistics are of great significance when writing a report. However, some students often use some personal opinions to replace facts since they are often confused about the difference between them. After all, what are facts What are opinions
(1) More and more people have been going online using mobile devices. (Fact)
(2) I think surfing the Internet is the easiest way to get the news. (Opinion)
(3) An increasing number of people above 59 use the Internet now. (Fact)
(4) Its popularity among people of all ages has grown dramatically in the past 5 years. (Fact)
(5) Some people believe the trend will carry on and mobile devices will be an even bigger part of our daily lives. (Opinion)
【設計意圖：引導學生歸納和總結report的文體、文章結構和語言特色，并著重辨析學生在寫作中容易弄混的事實和觀點兩個概念，充分培養學生的語言表達能力和邏輯思維能力。】
Step 3 Preparing for writing
1. T presents Ss different types of charts including bar charts, flow charts and pie charts.
T: As we all know, to write a report on a topic, it is important to collect facts and figures. One of the most common ways that facts and figures are presented is in the form of charts, which are easy to understand and make things much clearer.
2. T helps Ss accumulate some useful expressions to clarify the changes in figures according to the charts.
(1) Useful expressions to describe the increase of figures
The number of ... has grown steadily/has risen from .../climbed/went sharply up/soared/tends to go up/tends to increase ...
There was a rapid/sharp/dramatic/gradual/slow increase/rise in the number of people.
The number of people is on the rise/on the increase.
(2) Useful expressions to describe the decline of figures
The number of ... dropped steadily from .../declined suddenly/fell/tends to go down/shows a tendency to decrease ...
There is a sharp fall/gradual decrease/sudden reduction/slow decline/drop in the number of ... in 2020.
(3) Useful expressions to describe the steadiness of figures
In 2020, the number of ... remain the same/steady/stable/constant level.
There was little change/hardly any change in the number of ... between ... and ...
There was a slight fluctuation in the number of ... from ... to ...
(4) Other useful expressions to describe figures
... have the largest percentage/proportion of ...
The number of ... makes up/takes up/accounts for 50% of the total.
Compared with ... , ... has a higher/lower percentage.
... is twice/three times as ... as .../that of ...
【設計意圖：在對文體和寫作框架有了初步了解的基礎上，引導學生挖掘和積累更多功能性語言，為后面的文本寫作這一輸出環節打下基礎。】
Step 4 Writing and revising
Writing a draft
T asks Ss to write a report on Internet use. Meanwhile, T reminds Ss to apply what they have learned in this period into use.
Self-review
T leads Ss to revise their own writing in terms of the six aspects: punctuation, spelling, grammar, choice of words, style (formal/informal) and structure.
T leads Ss to revise their own writing considering the following questions:
What changes do you list in your report Are the changes well supported by evidence
Which part of the report is the hardest for you to write
Peer review
T guides Ss to exchange their writings and do some peer review considering the following questions:
Which part of the report does your partner think needs further improvement
How can you improve your writing
【設計意圖：在完成前面幾個環節的學習活動后，要求學生完成一篇關于互聯網應用的報告，讓學生對所學知識進行充分實踐。并通過自我評價和同伴互評，進一步鞏固所學知識，培養學生的自主學習能力和合作意識。】
