◇教学反思◇

　　本课时要求学生能根据写作要求,收集、准备素材,并能独立写一封信,在老师的指导下进行修改。写作时,要求能使用常见的连接词表示顺序和逻辑关系。

活动3a-3b是写作任务的训练,是相互联系的一个整体性任务,需要学生向学校写一封信,询问自己想知道的信息。课本活动旨在引导学生通过话题引出问题,再以问题为线索进行联想构思,进而完成写作任务。

本节课写作要求学生能够根据阅读课文的逻辑框架写出自己的个人经历,学生随心所欲地写作不难,但是如果按照一定的逻辑去写作,并且还要注意这个结构中各个环节的衔接和写作内容的完整性和一致性,确实是非常大的挑战。学生在课堂上的表现也出现了很大的差距,水平梯度明显。
