Writing a brochure about surviving a disaster
【教学过程】
1. Pair Work: Discuss and decide.
(1) Write “Disasters” on the board. Say:
a. What types of disasters can happen?
b. How would you survive each disaster?
c. Which disaster would you most want to give advice on?
d. What advice could you provide?
(2) Instruct students to answer these questions in pairs.
2. Read for writing.
(1) Instruct students to read the brochure on page 41 about surviving an earthquake.
(2) Explain that the brochure has provided advice for three situations that a person could be in during an earthquake: you are indoors, outdoors and in a car.
(3) While the teacher reads the brochure aloud, students underline key words in the advice given for each situation, to survive during an earthquake.
(4) Discuss the answers as a class.
3. Read again and complete.
(1) Read and discuss the table.
(2) As the teacher reads the brochure aloud, students use their notes to complete the table.
4. Write dos and don’ts.
(1) Read the Sentence Builder box, discuss dos and don’ts using the brochure on page 41 as an example.
(2) In the same pairs as Activity 1, students write a few dos and don’ts for surviving the disaster that they chose.
(3) Challenge students to write in their own words.
(4) After students write their sentences, have them exchange their writing with a partner to check each other’s work.
(5) Ask volunteers to read their sentences to the class.
5. Compose your writing: Outlining.
(1) Explain that students will now compose their own leaflet to give advice to survive the disaster of their choice.
(2) Encourage students to revisit their ideas discussed in Activity 1.
(3) If needed, explain the concept of a leaflet and review the titles provided by the example brochure on page 41. Use these titles to form a spider diagram where students can outline their ideas.
(4) Make sure that students are writing notes and not complete sentences.
(5) Remind students that in the early stages of writing, it is alright to cross out ideas in favour of better ideas.
6. Compose your writing: Drafting.
(1) Remind students that a draft is the first version of a piece of writing.
(2) Have students use their outlines to write complete sentences. Remind students to review the Sentence Builder box.
(3) Before students begin writing, review the information in the Writing Help box. Read the items aloud or have volunteers read the items for the class.
7. Compose your writing: Editing.
(1) Remind students that the final stage of writing, before publishing, is editing. When we edit, we check that our ideas are clear and that our sentences are complete.
(2) Have students exchange their writing with a partner and offer each other suggestions to improve their drafts.
(3) Ask students to prepare a final draft of their work to submit and then place in a writer’s portfolio.
