Main Teaching Activities and Time Allocation 主要教学活动和时间分配

Homework Review & Technical Issues: Teacher struggled with uploading homework and addressed a student's incomplete homework submission regarding plot prediction.

作业回顾与技术问题处理: 教师在上传作业时遇到困难,并处理了学生关于情节预测的作业未完成问题。

Story Plot & Climax Review: Reviewed the definition of plot, contrasting a sequence of events with a strong plot centered on a turning point/climax (highest tension).

故事情节与高潮复习: 复习了情节的定义,将事件顺序与以转折点/高潮为中心的强情节进行对比。

Pre-reading & Initial Reading of 'The Curse of P... House': Discussed pre-reading questions based on the title and had Enrico read the first excerpt, stopping to discuss confusing parts and vocabulary.

预读与《...诅咒》初读: 根据标题讨论了预读问题,并让Enrico朗读了第一段摘录,停下来讨论了困惑的部分和词汇。

Analyzing Tension and Suspense: Defined tension (worry/fear to make readers read on) and suspense (uncertainty about what will happen). Discussed the initial reading segment lacked effective tension.

分析张力和悬念: 定义了张力(使读者想读下去的担忧/恐惧)和悬念(对将发生的事情不确定)。讨论了初读片段缺乏有效的张力。

Deep Dive: Suspense Writing Techniques: Compared a dull description with a richly detailed, scary extract from the text, focusing on descriptive detail, short sentences, ellipsis, showing vs. telling, sensory language, and onomatopoeia.

深入探究:悬念写作技巧: 将一段平淡的描述与文中丰富详尽、恐怖的摘录进行对比,重点关注描述性细节、短句、省略号、展示而非告知、感官语言和拟声词。

Guided Analysis of Second Extract: Enrico read a second, more complex extract and worked with the teacher to highlight/identify examples of suspense techniques (sensory language, clues, short sentences, physical reactions, onomatopoeia, simile/metaphor).

指导分析第二段摘录: Enrico朗读了第二段更复杂的摘录,并与老师一起高亮/识别了悬念技巧的例子(感官语言、线索、短句、身体反应、拟声词、明喻/暗喻)。

Wrap-up & Homework Assignment: Assigned creative writing homework (short mystery story) and set expectations for the final lesson before the Christmas break (flashbacks).

总结与家庭作业布置: 布置了创意写作作业(短篇悬疑故事),并为圣诞假期前的最后一课(闪回)设定了期望。

3. Student Performance Assessment (Lillie Enrico) 3. 学生表现评估 (Lillie Enrico)

Participation and Activeness 参与度和积极性

  • Generally engaged but required frequent redirection, especially when discussing theoretical concepts like the turning point. 总体参与度尚可,但在讨论理论概念(如转折点)时需要频繁引导。
  • Responded well to direct questions requiring text evidence during the second analysis activity. 在第二次分析活动中,对需要文本证据的直接提问反应良好。

Language Comprehension and Mastery 语言理解和掌握

  • Struggled initially to grasp the abstract definition of a turning point, confusing it with a drop in excitement. 初始阶段难以掌握转折点的抽象定义,将其与兴奋度下降相混淆。
  • Showed strong comprehension when applying learned techniques (suspense/tension features) to the second text extract. 在将所学技巧(悬念/张力特征)应用于第二段文本摘录时,表现出良好的理解力。

Language Output Ability 语言输出能力

Oral: 口语:

  • Reading fluency was somewhat hindered by unfamiliar vocabulary and the complex sentence structure of the Gothic text. 由于不熟悉词汇和哥特式文本复杂的句子结构,朗读流利度受到一定影响。
  • Able to clearly articulate the functions of tension and suspense when prompted. 在被提问时,能够清晰地阐述张力和悬念的功能。

Written: 书面:

Homework for review involved planning a short mystery story, focusing on developing the mystery aspect.

待批改的作业是计划一个短篇悬疑故事,重点是发展悬疑情节。

Student's Strengths 学生的优势

  • Good recall of specific literary devices when pointed to the text (e.g., identifying onomatopoeia and physical reactions). 当被引导至文本时,能很好地回忆起具体的文学手法(例如,识别拟声词和身体反应)。
  • Successfully identified that strong descriptions create reader immersion and understanding. 成功认识到强有力的描述能创造读者的沉浸感和理解力。

Areas for Improvement 需要改进的方面

  • Need to move beyond simple definitions to analyze the *purpose* of plot elements (e.g., why a writer uses a turning point). 需要超越简单的定义,分析情节元素的目的(例如,作家为什么要使用转折点)。
  • Attention needs to remain focused throughout the theoretical explanations, avoiding distraction. 需要全程保持注意力集中,避免分心,尤其是在理论解释期间。

4. Teaching Reflection 4. 教学反思

Effectiveness of Teaching Methods 教学方法的有效性

  • The comparison between 'dull' and 'scary' descriptions effectively illustrated the power of detailed imagery and specific word choices. “平淡”与“恐怖”描述之间的对比有效地说明了细节意象和特定用词的力量。
  • The guided annotation activity helped solidify the understanding of abstract concepts like suspense features. 指导性的批注活动有助于巩固对悬念特征等抽象概念的理解。

Teaching Pace and Time Management 教学节奏和时间管理

  • The start of the lesson was delayed significantly due to technical/administrative issues with homework distribution. 由于作业分发的技术/管理问题,课程开始时间明显延迟。
  • The pace was slightly rushed during the application phase, though adequate time was given for the final identification task. 应用阶段的节奏略显仓促,但为最后的识别任务提供了充足的时间。
