這個禮拜妹妹在學【Main Idea / Detail Sentences / Classification / Causes and Effects】,也在另外提醒四年級的姊姊 main Idea and author’s purpose差異在哪邊。
我從姊妹很小的時候就開始教她們閱讀技巧 跟 把資訊歸類的方法,我雖然不敢說我的文章寫作跟閱讀技巧很好,但是至少考試不會出問題呢! (這個要求好低 哈哈)
甚麼是Main Idea?
Main idea 就是一篇文章的重點,It is the most important thought about the topic.
在一般的文章中,main idea大多都是第一跟第二句話。
我家習慣的閱讀方式。
– 如果是閱讀測驗,我要求孩子要先將題目看過,如果題目在不同頁,請將題目中的key word圈起來。
– 如果只是單純的閱讀,每一句話都會有一個key word or key point,請圈起來。(高年級的時候,我會要求把這些key word or key point寫在另外一張紙上。) 方便之後將資訊歸納
如果妳的key word有畫對,光看key word妳就可以知道整篇文章在講什麼了!

相對的,在寫作的時候,每個句子都必須要有重點要表達的東西。
我會請小朋友重新閱讀自己寫出來的東西,以閱讀的方式,去畫出每一句的重點,在重新看一次,畫出來的東西是不是自己要表達的。
比如說,這是妹妹一年級下學期的時候寫的文章。(好像是一年級下學期,我忘記了。)
我請她圈出來每一句話的重點,光看圈起來的部份,她可不可以知道她想要表達的東西。
如果不行,那我們就重寫。

甚麼是Detail Sentences?
Detail Sentences 就是 sentences that support the main idea.
所以在範例中,good mother 就是了main idea.
Detail Sentences 必須要可以support “good mother”

甚麼是Classification?
我覺得不管是寫作還是生活,Classification都很重要,要懂的分類,才有辦法事半功倍。
我家姊姊是亞斯兒,她對於情緒極不敏感,寫作對她來講是一個很大很大的考驗;我們一起想出了一個辦法,在每一次寫作前,她會畫一個九宮格,把她的想法分類。

Dream Job by Mariezel (4年級) (尚未修正過的)
(六年級之後要記得一篇文章開始不可以用ing的字喔!)
這篇文章的structure是完全不對的,我只是想要表達亞斯的孩子在適當的幫助下,
也是可以寫出這樣多形容詞的文章的呢!
(structure對我家老大來講還是太困難了,媽媽還在努力中。)
Building Legos, working on computers and solving math problems is what I love to do. I have always love putting Legos together ever since I was little, I still remember the first time I saw mini Lego city over at Legolane, I was amazed by how much Lego pieces that Lego builder have used for the project. My daddy was the one who introduce me to the video game and I learned that coding is the basic of video games. I have tried few coding and robotic class and I enjoy learning from my mistakes and making the system better. Math has always been my favorite subject in school. I love read up math problems and spend time finding answers.
When I was eight years old, I found the word ” engineer” in the dictionary and I decide to read up the meaning of it. I want to get to know more about what Engineer does, so me and my mom borrow lots of books about Engineer from the library. My favorite engineer / computer scientist / programmer is Grace Hopper. I would like to follow her footsteps to Yale University.
My mom have me list the factor of my dream job. I think the most important thing is doing what I like but also need to pays well. I would like to work close to home or maybe work from home. I don’t like doing the same things over and over. I enjoy complete project and helping people. Based on all those factor, I believe my dream job is become an Engineer.
妹妹學習簡單的分類,把看到的資訊分類。
* 拿一本簡單的書,讓小孩把人物、場景、問題、解決的方法分類出來,是一個很棒的學習閱讀 & 分解作文(故事)的方式唷!

甚麼是Causes and Effects?
Causes 就是 Why something happens
Effect 就是What happens as a result


英文寫作並不難,寫出讓人喜歡或著是發笑的內容可能不容易,那個還是需要一些天份的,但是寫出一篇可以通過考試的文章並不困難呢!

備註:
漢堡文章寫作撇步是很適合國小生使用的writing structure方法之一

我家慣用的是【正三角倒三角】的寫作格式 (中間有加減改變成為適合我家姊姊的格式,但是三角寫作格式的基本圖形是長這樣的。)


Hi Val,
謝謝你詳細解釋寫作方法。請問你這上面講述Main Idea / Detail Sentences / Classification 是哪本練習本?你用過的心得如何?謝謝。

我沒有特別用哪本教材(因為我通常是三本交叉使用),但是我有比較推薦的書商,這樣可以嗎?
