   Debt among young Americans is increasing. Are they ignoring their parents’ advice, or are the parents failing to teach their children about money? Here are a few simple lessons that children as young as seven or eight can understand. Firstly, save before you buy. When you receive money you should immediately save some of it, maybe 20%. After this, spend what you want. Secondly, watch your money. Don’t trust other people with it. Don’t lend money and don’t try to buy friends. If friends want your money, they aren’t real friends. Another piece of advice: buy only what you can afford. If that MP3 player or cell phone costs more than you have, then you don’t need it. Don’t borrow money for it, either. If you really want something, you can save for it. Saving teaches discipline. Also, after you have saved up enough money, you may realize you don’t really want it after all. Finally, don’t compare your possessions with your friends’ possessions. That expensive computer game next door may be borrowed or paid for on credit. There is an old saying: “Give a person a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a person how to fish and he will eat for the rest of his life.” This is also true when we teach our children about money. Don’t lecture your children or buy them everything they want. Teach them good habits and they will always look after their money.

1．  策略：写作学习策略
2． 教学目标：写作学习策略的呈现与训练
3．  教学过程
Step 1 让学生阅读所给材料，回答以下基本问题。对文章内容有所了解，并且回答文章基本的主题是什么。（发现活动 discovery）
      True or False questions
a. Debt among young Americans becomes more and more.
b. Young Americans cannot avoid the problem about money.
c. You should lend your money to others, if they are your friends.
d. It is not a good way to pay for on credit.
e. The parents should tell the children how to use money properly.

Step 2 请学生分析文章结构，找到是那些词构成了文章的骨架。或者说是哪些词使得文章结构更加清晰。如 first, after this, then 等等。（发现活动 discovery）,并且通过回答以下问题，看看文章中如何组织材料。
a. How many ways mentioned in the article on the method of arranging money?
b. Have you been on debt? Why?
c. How do you get your money and how to use it?

Step 3 布置学生进行讨论 “why does students’ health level decrease”并且仿照阅读文章的结构写一篇小短文。（讨论与问题解决， discussion and problem-solving）
4) 分析
  这是嵌入式的学习策略教学方式。本节课是以训练学生的写作为目的，以阅读作为切入手段。中国有句古话“读书破万卷，下笔如有神”，其实也是说明了阅读对于写作的作用。我的目的在于帮助学生了解如何通过阅读来提高写作的逻辑性，并不只是通过阅读来增加词汇。在上课伊始，我要求学生了解文章大意，继而要求学生在了解内容的前提下，看看作者是如何组织文章结构，最后再让学生去仿写，让学生巩固自己在阅读过程中找到的写作的思路。
