Unit 2 Natural disasters
Project（教学设计）
I. Learning objectives
By the end of the lesson, students will be able to:
research on a chosen topic and sort out the collected information in a logical way;
obtain a comprehensive understanding of different rescue methods;
present group work and evaluate the works of other groups;
make an information folder about rescue methods together.
II. Key competence focus
1. Develop the ability to obtain relevant and reliable information.
2. Write an information page in a well-organized way.
III. Predicted area of difficulty
1. Search for related information with high validity about rescue methods.
2. Summarize the advantages and disadvantages of various rescue methods.
IV. Teaching procedures
Step 1 Lead-in
T leads students to think about the natural disasters they have newly learned in this unit or they have known before, and then asks Ss to write down the corresponding rescue methods they know with the help of the information in part A on page 27.
T: What comes to your mind when we speak of natural disasters What terrible consequences do natural disasters bring about
T: In those cases, what can rescue team do to find and save those who suffer the disasters In addition to the rescue methods listed in part A, do you know any other rescue methods used in natural disasters Please write down some and share with your partner!
T introduces the concept of “information folder” to Ss and clarifies the task to be carried out in this lesson.
T: In today’s class, we are going to research on different rescue methods from several aspects, and then make an information folder covering these rescue methods together.
T: Before we get started, I want to introduce to you what an “information folder” is. Generally speaking, a folder is basically a “container” for information about a certain topic. In addition to words, other forms of information such as pictures, posters and videos that are closely related to the topic can all be put in the folder. Making an information folder is an activity that requires our joint effort.
【设计意图：从回顾所学或已知的自然灾害入手，引导学生思考自然灾害带来的严重后果以及发生后常见的救援方法；简单介绍“信息文件夹”的概念，并阐明本课的任务：全班合作，共同制作一份有关自然灾害救援方法的信息文件夹。】
Step 2 Choosing a rescue method
T leads Ss to choose a rescue method and figure out the detailed aspects of the chosen topic.
In groups, T asks Ss to discuss different rescue methods they have listed in Step 1 and then choose one that interests them most to research on.
After choosing a rescue method, T asks Ss to go through relevant aspects listed in part B and leads them to think about additional aspects that they want to do further research on.
【设计意图：在Step 1的头脑风暴结束后，让学生以小组的形式共同讨论，选择最感兴趣的话题进行探究。然后结合教材提供的探究视角，请学生发散思维，补充其他感兴趣的方面。这样学生可以有针对性地从多种角度分析、讨论救援方法，进而明白要构成一个信息文件夹需要放入哪些相关信息。】
Step 3 Learning and analysing the sample
T leads Ss to study the sample about search and rescue dogs in part C before they research on their own.
Analysing the content and the structure
T has Ss go through the example in part C and then asks Ss to work in groups to fill in the table shown on the slide.

【设计意图：在学生独立开展探究活动之前，让学生根据提供的表格，通过小组讨论，合作完成案例的结构与内容分析，从而将思维与写作过程完全可视化、清晰化，有助于学生由面及点地了解如何整理并撰写一份信息页。】
Step 4 Making an information page on the chosen topic
Discussing ways to collect information
T gives Ss some tips on getting reliable information with high validity.
·Go to the library
·Search online: literature review, documentaries, professional scientific websites, the government’s official websites ...
T leads Ss to work in groups to make an information page about the chosen rescue method.
T: Since you have chosen your research topic, now I’d like you to cooperate with your group members to complete this task.
T: Here are some tips on assigning specific tasks to each group member for your reference.
Member 1 History
Member 2 Advantages and disadvantages
Member 3 Rescue stories
Member 4 Efficiency
【设计意图：引导学生合理分工，更高效地获取全面的信息。让学生得以在小组合作的过程中碰撞思维，培养团队合作的能力。】
Step 5 Presentation and assessment
T has Ss give a presentation in groups either in front of the class or by playing a video.
T has Ss evaluate other groups’ works and ask questions about them or put forward suggestions.
T has Ss improve their works and make a complete information folder together.
【设计意图：学生展示小组成果，锻炼他们的公众演说能力。请学生对其他组的作品进行评价、提问或建议，以培养学生表达观点的能力以及独立思考与评价的思维品质。最后让学生合成最终的信息文件夹，让他们看到个人智慧与集体协作的结晶，增强学生的成就感。】
V. Homework
Write a short passage about the chosen rescue method based on what has acquired in this lesson. (within 300 words)
【设计意图：通过制作信息文件夹的整个探究过程，学生对自然灾害发生后的救援工作会有更深的了解。通过写作，引导学生进一步整合探究过程中的所学与所思，锻炼学生的写作能力、加深学生的认知，也有助于学生反思所学、联系实际，更好地学以致用。】
