她来教你妙笔生花

   写作是学习英语的重中之重。很多人在写作中都会遇到如下困扰：知道很多单词，却不会妥善地组句；知道如何组句，却不知道如何布局谋篇。下面，让我们一起走进枫叶高中Daisy的课堂，让她来教你如何妙笔生花。

   Writing is one of the most significant parts in learning English. Many people will encounter the following problems in the process of their writing. For instance, some of them know a lot of English words, but they don’t know how to combine them into a good sentence; some of them grasp the way of making sentences, but they don’t know how to combine them into an article. Now, let us come to Daisy’s writing class in Wuhan Maple Leaf International School to learn how to compose.

   这节课，Daisy老师的主要任务是教学生如何写支撑句。首先，Daisy老师带着学生复习了说明文的基本框架。之后，Daisy老师将学生分成了五个小组，并给每个小组布置了一个话题，要求以小组合作的形式，为每个话题写一个中心句。讨论结束之后，小组代表将他们的主题句写在黑板上，老师带领学生一起评价这些中心句是否能支撑话题。

   In this course, Daisy's main task was to teach students how to write supporting sentences. First of all, Daisy led students to review the structure of expository. After that, Daisy divided the students into five groups and arranged a topic for each group, asking them to write a topic sentence for each topic in the form of group cooperation. After discussion, the representatives of each group wrote their subject sentences on the whiteboard. After they finished writing, Daisy led the students to evaluate whether those topic sentences could support their themes.

   完成好了中心句，Daisy老师再次给五个小组布置了不同的任务。要求学生们就黑板上的中心句写出分论点。完成了分论点之后，这次Daisy老师邀请了本堂课的听课老师们作为评委，为学生的分论点投票并点评。通过各位老师的点评，学生们知道了自己的哪些分论点写得好，哪些分论点还有待改进。

   What’s more, Daisy gave each of the five groups a new task which required the students to write at least three supporting sentences for their topic after they had completed the topic sentence. After they finished that, Daisy invited the teachers who came to attend her class to be the judges voting and commenting the students’ supporting sentences. Through their comments, students knew which points were good, and which points needed to be improved.

   这堂写作课，气氛活跃，学生们有序地讨论，陈述自己的论点；听课老师也不同往常，他们除了在教室的后排记笔记，还参与了互动。写作的过程原本就是仁者见仁智者见智，在老师与学生的共同讨论下，学生们更好地丰富了自己的分论点。期待他们课下勤练笔、多思考，日后能有更多佳作与我们分享。

   On the whole, all the students performed well in this class. They discussed with each other orderly and stated their ideas bravely which made this class full of energy and liveness. While, for the teachers who came to attend, they also participated in this class instead of the usual form taking notes at the back row. In fact, different people have different opinions on writing. Under the discussion among students and teachers, those students enriched their topic and supporting sentences. We hope that they can practice and think more in their future study and share more fine pieces of writing with us.
