有效提问在作文中的运用

在让学生写My friends’ hobbies这篇作文时我给了他们一篇范文。范文的内容是My family’s hobbies。范文通过三个家庭成员的爱好来展开描写，但是如果只给学生看范文就让他们写一篇作文对他们来说有一定难度。于是我把一篇作文拆分为几个问题进行了一堂作文课。

【片段1】

T: Who's your friend?

S: ...

T: what does he like doing?

S: He likes playing basketball.

T: Can he play basketball well?/Is he good at playing basketball?

S...

T:Where does he usually play basketball?

S: He usually plays basketball in the playground.

T: When does he often play basketball?

S: He often plays basketball after school.

【片段2】

T: What does she like doing?

S: She likes drawing.

T: How is drawing?

S: It’s great fun.

T: Does she usually draw with you?

S: ...

通过一系列学生已知的问题，一方面可以锻炼其语言表达能力，丰富了作文内容，另一方面将作文简单化，一篇作文分解成了When, where, how等几个方面，便于学生着手写。
