Friendship on the rocks: please advise!

语篇

分析

What?

本文话题是友谊危机，以论坛发帖交流的形式呈现当代青少年在交友过程中遇到的困扰以及不同网友提出的解决方案。

Why?

通过探讨青少年的友谊危机，引导学生审视友谊的重要性与深刻内涵，选择理性的交友方式，妥善处理交友过程中面临的问题，锻炼人际交往的能力，磨炼应对困难的意志力，为青少年身心健康的协调发展奠定良好的基础。

How?

本文为新媒体语篇，由一篇论坛主题帖和两篇回复帖组成。主题帖讲述了朋友交往过程中的矛盾冲突，包含了叙事情节发展的基本要素：情节交代、情节发展、高潮、情节回落，而在故事结尾则交由读者自行合理推断，给读者留下了想象的空间。回复贴提出了不同的解决方式。文本中多处使用表示转折含义的连接词，有助学生理解语篇内部的语义逻辑关系。

教学

过程

导入问题

Self-introduction:

1. Why am I (teacher) unhappy these days. (教师自我介绍并阐述自身遭遇的友谊问题lose contact with some close friends，拉近与学生的距离，引发共鸣。)

2. Do you have similar experiences? (收集学生实际问题并板书。)

3. Who will you turn to for help when faced with such situations?

分析问题

问题解决第一步与1st reading

（交互方式：   Ss-B-Ss   ）

Read Amy’s post:

1. What happened to Amy? (时间轴罗列事件，启发学生概括出a trust crisis.)

2. What are Amy’s reactions to the crisis and her feelings?

3. Do you think such feelings are reasonable? Why？(探究问题背后的深层原因。合理：Amy的诉求是Jenny的坦诚和事先告知。不合理：“Amy’s friend Jenny lied to her.” “Amy thought Jenny lied to her.”耳听不一定为实，Amy混淆了观点和事实。)

4. So, what should Amy do first if she wants to solve her problem? (Find out the truth.)

问题解决第二步与2nd reading

（交互方式：   Ss-B-Ss-B-Ss   ）

Read the two replies:

1. What are their common solutions to help Amy find out the truth? (A talk.)

2. What are their assumptions and advice? (Save vs. Rethink)

3. Which one do you prefer? Why?

4. Do you have better solutions? What?

5. The teacher presents suggestions provided by his colleague. (结合学生给出的措施和老师提供的措施，总结出解决友谊问题的三个维度：mutual understanding, mutual devotion, mutual respect.)

6. How to solve your own problems adopting these three dimensions? (学生选一个黑板上罗列的学生问题，辅以建议信相关句式，进行oral practice. 串词：I think all of you can solve your own problems, but do you know how to write a letter of advice?)

问题解决第三步与3rd reading

（交互方式：   Ss-B-Ss   ）

1. Read the two replies again and figure out the common parts.

2. Summarize the structure and key elements of a letter of advice. (以教师问题为例，给出一封建议信模板)

解决问题

Write a letter of advice to your classmates with friendship problems.
