Tip 3: To make a mind map, we need to find the main idea and related information, such as the key words.
Group Work
Choose one of the passages and read individually , then discuss in groups of four. Make a mind map and write down your own slogan. Finally, make a group report for us. 小组选择一种濒危动物进行个人阅读,然后以四人为小组制作思维导图。小组成员根据你们自己制作的思维导图介绍你们所阅读的濒危动物,并且展示你们保护动物的口号。
You can also design your own mind map.
For example:
Tigers
At present, many animals, like tigers, are in danger. Tigers are very strong. I think it is important to protect China's tigers. Many people kill tigers for their fur, meat, money or something else. And a lot of trees are cut down, so tigers are losing their home. The governments should pass laws to protect tigers as well as other wild animals and make a sweet home to both animals and people.
Elephants
Elephants are friendly and kind. They like eating grass and fruit. But in the last few years, there are less and less elephants live in the world. There are only 35,000 elephants in the world. Most of them live in India. And there are only 250 elephants in China. Our government builds a nature reserve called Xishuangbanna. It is working hard to protect the elephants. Many people want to kill them to get their meat and teeth. So many elephants died. And the rest of elephants don’t have enough places to live and enough food to eat. They are in danger now. Let’s try our best to care for elephants.
Dolphins
Dolphins live in the sea. They live on fish, shrimps and so on. Dolphins are very friendly and peaceful. Dolphins are very clever. Unluckily, the number of dolphins is getting smaller and smaller. Because of water pollution, there is less and less space for dolphins. They are in danger now. We should protect our oceans to save them. If we don’t protect them, maybe we’ll lose our good friends one day.
