Content Analysis

Writing an animal fact file presents a paragraph about the red-crowned crane and requires students to answer several fact-based questions. Students will then be guided to summarize the key content points of the paragraph and establish an outline for the writing. After students develop a general structure of the essay, they can apply the useful expressions presented in this section to complete their writing. This section is designed to help students enhance their capabilities throughout the writing process, regarding structure construction, content generation, and language application. In this process, their logical thinking, creativity, and writing skills can be practiced and advanced. On the other hand, to further connect to the previous classes, the design of this class will incorporate reviewing afore-taught topic-related words and grammar points to consolidate students’ previous learning outcomes. Additionally, an introduction of the scoring criteria and sample writing will also be added to help students gain a better understanding of how to write a good essay and improve their writings on such a basis.
