Definitions of topic, main point and details Let the students know “To read or write well, they need to understand the definitions of the three concepts.” 2. Relationships between topic, main point and details Show the students an idea web “Topics, Main Ideas (Points) and Details” to help them understand the relationships between the main point and details.Show the students the frame of a house to illustrate that topics, main ideas or points, and details work together. 3. Identification of topic, main point and details Present a passage about smoking and illustrate how to identify a topic, the main points and details. Put more on the identification of main points and details.(1) How to determine the topic a. Tips ◆ Ask yourself “Who or what is the passage about?”◆ Look carefully at the title. Often the general topic is one of the words in the title. ◆ Look for clue words or phrases that are used repeatedly. Often that word or phrase is the general topic of the article. b. Ask the students to identify the topic of the passage. (2) How to determine the main idea a. Tips ◆ Ask Yourself … What is this passage mostly about? Why did the writer write this passage? ◆ The main idea is sometimes expressed in the topic sentence.◆ Figure out the implied main idea in your own words.b. Ask the students to identify the main idea of the passage Smoking.c. Ask the students to read four short passages. Ask them to find out the main ideas (MI) or the topic sentences (TS) for the first three passages and then figure out the main point of the fourth one. The writer may place the main idea in the beginning of the paragraph, in the middle, or in the last part of the paragraph. If the main idea is not stated, the readers have to determine the main idea themselves. (3) How to find (supporting) details a. Tips ◆ Decide which details help to further the storyline.◆ Decide which details help you to understand the main idea.◆ Turn the main idea into a question by asking who, what, when, where, why, or how?

Conclusion T: From the passage about smoking, we are getting to understand the main idea or point and details. Every story or paragraph has a main idea. Main idea is like the heart of the text or a paragraph. All the supporting details in the text or within a paragraph should tell us more about the main idea. 【设计意图：整体呈现主要的学习内容，激活学生的认知需求。首先简明扼要地定义主题、要点与细节，然后利用形象的图片直观地阐述这三者之间的关系。通过实例引领学生发现相关阅读技能，阐述在阅读活动中如何辨别三者，重点放在要点与细节上。适时总结，帮助学生更好地理解三者间的关系: 要点是文章的心脏，所有的支撑细节都是以此为中心的。】Step 3 Reading Practice1. Check how well the students understand detailsPresent two short articles. Let the students say which detail or sentence does not support the main point. And then, ask the students to explain the reasons.2. Check how well the students understand main points or ideas Present a passage about Benjamin Franklin. The passage has four paragraphs. Ask the students to choose the correct main idea for each paragraph and analyze their choices. (1) The main point for Paragraph 1 is stated in the first sentence. The remaining sentences give examples to support it. (2) The main point for Paragraph 2 is stated in the last sentence. The first three sentences give details to explain it. (3) The main point for Paragraph 3 is stated within the paragraph and then restated at the end. (4) The main point for Paragraph 4 is stated in the first sentence. The remaining sentences give examples to prove it. (5) First and last sentences in the paragraph are usually helpful.3. Check how well the students understand the topic, main points and details Present a passage about Canada. Ask the students to identify the topic, main point and details. Then ask them to locate the topic, main point and major and minor details in the paragraph. 【设计意图：让学生阅读四篇文章，在阅读活动中运用相应技能来检测学生本节课学习的效果。先让学生剔除不能支撑要点的细节，再让学生找出每段的主题句，最后让学生阅读一篇文章，说出相应的主题、要点与细节，并要求学生在文中找出相关的句子。活动难度逐步增加，有一定的梯度，由分项到综合，同时也与开头形成呼应。阅读技能是学生写作的有力支撑，该环节也为下面在写作中运用本课的学习技能做了充足准备。】Step 4 Writing Practice1. Kitty’s day at Hong Kong DisneylandT: We can use the skill of “main points and details” when writing about an experience or event or some other genre of writing.T: Let’s illustrate it with the example of Kitty’s day at Hong Kong Disneyland. 3.

Writing your own paragraphAsk students to write their own paragraphs, using main points and details properly. Before that, the teacher demonstrates how to write a good paragraph step by step. Then, the students are asked to write their own paragraphs according to the requirements. 【设计意图：要点与细节是非常重要的一个写作技能。先结合本单元的课文，分析在写作一个经历或事件时应如何选择要点及支撑细节，再点拨相关写作技巧，并以Taiwan Earthquake课文为例来强调有效写作的中心是为要点提供有力的细节支撑。接着是范文引路，最后是写作实践。由易到难、逐步开放的阅读及写作训练很好地检测本节学习技能课的目标达成度。】 Step 5 Conclusion T: Writing is like soccer. You want to stay with your ideas. Adding supporting details is like kicking the soccer ball all the way down field to score the final goal. 【设计意图：通过比喻，概括本节课的学习要点及该技能的重要性。】
