Unit 6 Developing ideas & Presenting ideas 名师教学设计
课时内容:
Developing ideas包括两部分:第一部分是一篇杂志文章,主要介绍了人类生存所面临的问题以及人类在火星探索方面所做的努力,最后点明人类现在要做的是爱护自己唯一的家园—地球。Writing a survival story部分通过学习范文——独自在火星上生存的故事,掌握结合想象写故事的方法:首先点出故事的主人公,然后陈述他所面临的困境以及他是怎样一步步克服这些困难的。
Presenting ideas部分通过绿色蜥蜴与外来物种的生存竞争,引导学生认识到当一种外来物种逃脱了原有的天敌在新的环境中大肆繁殖和扩散时,本地原有物种会深受影响。因而外来物种对生物多样性的威胁应引起足够的重视。
