通过单词的可视化学习,我们更直观地体会到词汇在头脑中所构建image的差异,在故事写作中使用specific,vivid words同样可以起到刻画描绘的作用。 

      在新单词的造句(超级句子)练习中,我们通过模拟场景setting,再现词汇的使用场景。以whisper“轻声说话”为例:使用的场景是什么?
当你说出秘密时,你可能会轻声说出。当你不想制造噪音的时候,你可能会窃窃私语。

现在让我们看一张 ,上面显示了单词“悄悄话”。(指着窃窃私语的女孩。)这个女孩在告诉男孩一些事情。她在窃窃私语。也许她在讲秘密。也许她不想让其他女孩听到。

对你的朋友悄悄地说“***”。现在小声说吧,像这样。(轻声说“***”)。告诉你的朋友你的秘密。现在小声说吧。对你的朋友说点你的秘密。

看一下下面这张学校阅读作业A-Z Mysteries Book A The Absent Author的插图。 中Josh在对Dink悄悄地说什么?   为什么他们whispered? 

 

现在让我们再一起说三遍:whisper,whisper,whisper。

造句中,首先练习的场景(添加时间和地点状语)完成超级句子,然后是通过使用带有逻辑关系词汇排列,写长句。
1. The beetle uses its mouth for cutting, biting, and chewing.
2. Grasshoppers, crickets, and some spiders are good jumpers.
3. Ants, bees, and wasps live in colonies.
4. Caterpillars make cocoons, turn into butterflies, and fly away. 
5. The band played a funny song, then they played a sad song. Then they took a break. After they played a loud song, the concert was over. 
超级句子中词汇排列的逻辑关系,为写作练习作了准备。 

         为了便于孩子理解,可以通过英文的故事写作图,对中文故事进行故事写作图分析。
