    此处步骤1利用课文中的内容，让学生找出课文讲述多伦多的多处景点，此处是为写作积累材料，针对学生对多伦多了解甚少的情况，这一环节必不可少。步骤2则让学生对reading部分有更进一层的理解，从中可以找到写作中可用到的词汇，句子。步骤3的设计意图是教师作为引路人，让学生通过关键词回忆课文，一方面对课文重新熟悉，而另一方面是为写作埋伏笔，因为串词成句是作文的基础阶段，也是本校学生的弱项。

    反思：从课文已有的知识出发，用泛读的教学方式最大限度地帮助学生发掘写作所需的材料，这是基于此篇写作的内容，以及本地学生对多伦多了解甚少的实际出发的。可以说此部分的设计有一箭双雕的妙用。既训练了泛读技能，又培养学生抓住关键词的能力，还能引导学生串词成句，口头作文，为下面的作文教学做好充分的铺垫。
