1.教学设计：
英语作为重要的信息载体之一，是人类生活各个领域中使用最广泛的国际语言，社会对学习者的英语水平要求越来越高。作为英语教学四项基本技能之一，写作是英语教学中不可缺少的一环，它能够客观地反映学习者的思维组织能力和语言表达能力，能够反映学习者综合运用语言的能力。
按照新课标，情感态度是指兴趣、动机、自信、意志和合作精神等影响学生学习过程和学习效果的相关因素以及在学习过程中逐渐形成的祖国意识和国际视野。情感态度的培养为写作教学提供了充足的源泉。学生感兴趣和熟悉的题材会真实、生动地阐述自己的观点。
理论支撑：
多元智能理论
语言作为一种交流工具起着传情达意的作用，学生在语言学习过程中其言语智能（即通过文字获取和理解信息并用文字思考、表达思想的能力）得到最直接的操练和发展。此外，本单元的中心话题是伟大的女性及其对我们的生活的影响，因此以语言为媒介通过学习伟大女性中获得重要的人生哲理懂得尊重女性并激励自己，学生的人际智能、内省智能也可以得到不同程度的发展。

课后记：
先进的教育理论对教育教学的指导意义无可置否，问题连续体理论给与教师很多启发和益处。问题的层次性和挑战性激发了学生的求知欲和学习兴趣，在解决问题的过程中，构建自己的知识体系，加强合作意识。本节课教师引导学生借助相关的材料关注伟大的女性及其对人类生活的影响这一重大问题，使他们在了解和思考以及表达过程中提高自身的人文素养和语言的运用能力，使外语的工具性、人文性和社会性得以充分体现。
引导学生深入理解、反思和表达的过程就是在关注学生在学习过程中的情感、态度和价值观，并给以合理恰当的引导和肯定，使学生获得愉悦感、成就感，增强自信心。
建议学生在通过获取信息来表达自己的思想和情感的同时，当在以后的语言学习和社会生活实践中多留心、多体验日常生活小事带给我们的感悟，不断提高个人的人文素养。
