To understand the main idea and specific information about a sci-fi story and write a reasonable ending of it
To present your idea on the daily life in the future
目标一: To understand the main idea and specific information about a sci-fi story and write a reasonable ending of it
Activity 1: Read the story and answer the questions.
Todd cried out in shock and waved his arm at the pale blue screen hovering above the breakfast table. The hologram news paused. “Carolyn,” he called across the kitchen, “did you see this ”
His wife, Carolyn, was collecting her cereal from the breakfast robot. “What is it, honey ” she asked. Todd pointed at the floating blue screen. Carolyn read the headline:
Another prison breakout: faulty robotics blamed.
“Oh, don’t worry,” Carolyn chuckled. “That’s an old facility. The robots there were bound to break down sooner or later. Plus, I know for a fact that they weren’t well maintained,” she added. “Julius was telling me about it. That place isn’t as advanced as ours.”“But the report says that even new, regularly-maintained robots can break down,” Todd protested. “And in a maximum-security prison like yours, one small error could cause a lot of problems.”Carolyn smiled at him. “You worry too much,” she said. “Now, I’d better be going or I’ll be late for work.” She grabbed her bag from the kitchen counter and rushed out of the door. Todd heard the aircar start up outside. It was not until an hour later that he noticed that Carolyn had left her emergency call device on the breakfast table.
1 What happened to the prison and what was the cause
2 What kind of job do you think Carolyn has
3 Are there any sentences that might foreshadow what will happen next Underline them.
There was a prison breakout, caused by faulty robotics.
She might be a prison governor.
Another prison breakout: faulty robotics blamed.Julius was telling me about it. That place isn’t as advanced as ours.But the report says that even new, regularly-maintained robots can break down.
Activity 2: Think about what will happen next, based on the examples of foreshadowing you have plete the notes to plan the rest of the story.
SettingTime:__________________________________________Place:__________________________________________Characters______________________________________ _______________________________________________Plot___________________________________________________________________________________________Ending________________________________________________________________________________________Now continue the story.
Activity 3: Share your story with the class.
Now make comments on your partner’s story and see whether the language style is consistent.
Sample:Carolyn had a long commute to the prison, even by aircar. When she arrived, everything seemed normal, except for a robot lying at the front gate, motionless. It’s an old model, she thought. They broke down now and again. She passed through the gate, noting that everything else was apparently in order.
But just as she closed her office door behind her, a loud alarm sounded. Carolyn’s blood froze. She had only ever heard that sound during drills. It can’t be! she thought. A general systems failure! She looked out of the reinforced glass of her office window into the prison below. Sure enough, the robots were out of control. Most had stopped moving at all. Some spun aimlessly around and around. But others were randomly operating things, including the cell gates, and she could see prisoners rushing out to freedom. “Grab the robots’ weapons and run!” shouted the prisoners.Carolyn opened her bag and reached for her emergency call device. Her heart sank as she realised she had left it at home. I need to call in the police, she thought. But how Without the device, she couldn’t communicate. Nothing in the prison would work properly now.
There was a voice behind her. “Looking for one of these ”Carolyn gasped. “Julius!” There was her second-in-command, holding an emergency caller in his hand. “What are you doing in my office ”“It should be my office!” snarled Julius. “I’ve worked here for forty years... and the City Commissioners gave you the job as prison governor! But now you’ll pay. You’ll all pay! I can make every robot in every prison in the city go crazy. The prisoners will escape, and the city will burn!”Then the door burst open, and the room was suddenly flooded with riot police. And there was... Todd!“I took the aircar over here to bring you this,” he said quietly, winking as he pushed the emergency call device secretly into her hands. “I could see there was trouble, so I activated it to call in the police.”
“It was Julius,” said Carolyn, watching the police bundle Julius out of the door. “He’s gone mad.”“Sure,” said Todd. “But now we know how easy it is to cause a mass robot breakdown. You’ll have to write a report. Make some recommendations to upgrade the robots.”“I know.” Carolyn slid from Todd’s hug and walked towards the door. She could see the police rounding up the prisoners. “But right now, I’ve got a prison to run.”
目标二: To present your idea on the daily life in the future
Activity 1: Look at the pictures about the future and answer the questions.
1 What are the people doing in each picture
2 Imagine and describe their daily lives. Would you like to live like this
Picture 1 The robot is displaying some information to a girl. Perhaps the girl is being taught by the robot. Picture 2 A girl is sitting on the robot. She looks like she is controlling the robot with a device. She seems to be playing. Picture 3 The robot is helping a mother look after her child.
Yes, I’d love to. It’s so convenient to live like this.No, I don’t. I think there will be less communication between people. Maybe robots would control people’s lives.
Activity 2: Work in groups. Discuss how other daily activities might be different in the future and complete the table.

Activity 3: Design your own ideal day in the future.
Consider the following:
1 Is it a weekday or weekend What activities will you do 2 Who do you want to spend the day with 3 In what ways is it different to your present daily life
1 Can you tell a sci-fi story 2 Can you share your ideal day in the future with the class
