【摘 要】在英语学习过程中，听说读写四项技能，写的难度是最大的。写作是一种思维活动，是学生表达思想的方式。写作能力训练是发展学生思维能力和表达能力的有效途径，也是衡量教学效果的标准之一。在高中英语教学中，写作课教学模式也是容易被人忽视的。小组活动，作为一种有效的教学方式已经越来越受到重视。因此，把小组活动与高中英语写作教学相结合，可以全面提高学生的英语写作能力，发展英语核心素养。下面以一节写作课Write A Book Review（撰写书评）为例，将我在本节课中的小组活动设计与大家分享，希望起到抛砖引玉的作用，引起大家对此话题的思考与讨论。

【关键词】高中英语；写作课；小组活动设计

本节课的教学过程分为写作前、写作中、写作后三个阶段。相应地，小组活动设计也紧密围绕这三个阶段而展开。

一、写作前信息输入：话题导入→范文阅读→范文分析

Step I Lead-in

There is an old Chinese saying：“Read ten thousand books， travel ten thousand miles.” Maybe it is possible for someone to travel ten thousand miles， but can anyone really read ten thousand books？

设计意图：通过中国古语：“读万卷书，行万里路”。引出行万里路易，读万卷书难的事实，从而引导学生通过阅读书评这种方式达到博览群书的目的。

Step II Before Writing

1.Read an example.

The Old Man and the Sea， a world- famous novel， was written by American author Ernest Hemingway.

The novel vividly describes an old fisherman called Santiago. At first， Santiago was looked down upon by others because of his fruitless efforts in fishing. In the end， he proved his ability and won others respect by catching a large marlin and fighting with many sharks. The Old Man and the Sea was such a great work that it won the Pulitzer Prize in 1953 and Hemingway won the Nobel Prize in Literature for it in 1954.

What the novel impresses me most is the bravery and determination Santiago showed when faced with great difficulty. He is a real hero and the perseverance is exactly what we should learn from him today.

2. Analyze the example.

（1） The structure of the essay：

How many parts are there of the essay？ Whats the main idea of each part？

（2） The language of the easy：

When writing a book review， we can use the present/ past tense and the third person.

（3） The outline of the book review and some useful expressions.

Introduction Part：

設计意图：在写作前，通过阅读范文《老人与海》的书评，学生两两一组总结段落大意，指出书评的基本结构，分为Introduction，Plot，Achievement，Opinion四部分。针对这四部分，分别在范文中勾画出有用的表达方式并通过进一步的头脑风暴，想出更多地句型，使学生对书评这一体裁在结构形式和语言内容上，形成一定的知识建构，为接下来的写作奠定基础。……
