Unit 5 Canada—“The True North”

Writing----to be a better writer

Teaching Plan

Teaching objectives:

1. Students get to know the structure of a travel report and master the vocabulary of distance, direction and location.

2. Students are expected to learn to use two most frequently applied writing techniques— attributive clause and appositive to make their writing better.

3. Students learn how to evaluate an essay from different aspects (the outline, content, grammar etc.)

Teaching Procedures:

Step 1 Warming up

Technique 1: Attributive clause 定语从句

Rewrite the sentences and make them into one.

(1) a. He is a man of great experience. b. Much can be learned from him.

_____________________________________________________________________ (2) a. I have many books. b. Some of the books are on chemistry. _____________________________________________________________________ (3) a. He visited the Great Wall again. b. He went there two years ago.

_____________________________________________________________________ What is the key to combine two sentences into an attributive clause (定语从句)? — To find out the overlap.

Practice:

(4) a.加拿大是世界第二大国家。(4) b. 它面积有997万平方公里。Combine the above two sentences together.

_____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ Technique 2: Appositives 同位语

(5) a. Ottawa is the capital of Canada and is one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

(5) b. Ottawa is also a good place for people to settle down.

_____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ Step 2 Writing task：Imagine you are the cousins who travelled across Canada and write a travel report about what you saw during the trip. (Students are required to carefully observe the organization of the travel report below and figure out its structure.)

What we saw in Canada

My cousin and I traveled across Canada by train from west to east. We saw many things from the train on the way across, and in the cities of Toronto and Montreal. Some of the most important and interesting things that we saw are included in this report.

We passed through the Rocky Mountains on the train, and saw wild scenery, a grizzly bear and some mountain goats. Canada is a wheat-growing area. The city of Thunder Bay is a port in the center of Canada. Ocean ships can come all the way to the top of the Great Lakes.

_____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ There is so much to see and do in Canada on one trip. We saw only a few things, but we think we would like to go back for another visit.
