2) Improving the students’ thinking quality by asking questions about John Snow’s defeating cholera and talking about the significance and contribution of John’s work.
Teaching and learning procedure:
Step 1 Leading in (Opening Page) and introduction
Activity 1 Leading-in
1. Lead in the teaching topic by thinking about and answering the following questions.
Have your ever dreamed to be a scientist What field would your choose if you want to be a scientist in the future What qualities do you think a scientist needs What are the challenges of being a scientist
Hard work, courage in face of challenges, persistence, devotion, passion, patience, creativity, etc. Long research process, academic pressure, facing failures, and so on.
2. Look at the picture and answer the following questions.
1) How would you describe the photo
Two young girl students are conducting an experiment in a school science laboratory, probably to test a theory, verify results, collect data, or develop skills needed in scientific research.
2) Where do you think this photo was taken What are the students doing in the photo
I think it was taken in a chemistry laboratory at school. They look like they are conducting an experiment.
3) Have you ever been to a place like this What was it like
Yes, I have. I have conducted chemistry experiments in the laboratory at my school. There are lots of beakers, Petri dishes, and other tools and equipment there. We are set in teams and work together to complete experiments at various workstations.
4) Would you like to work in such a filed in the future Why or why not
Yes. I think it would be very exciting! I am already very interested in chemistry.
2. Talk about the saying/quote:
To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle requires creative imagination and marks real advance in science. –Albert Einstein & Leopold Infeld
A fuller version of the quote is:
The formulation (构想) of a problem is often more essential than its solution, which may be merely a matter of experimental skill. To raise new questions, new possibilities and to regard old problems from a new angle requires creative imagination and marks real advance in science
English meaning: In other words, it only requires some degree of technical skill to solve a scientific problem. The real mark of a scientist is the ability to ask questions and to see things in a new way, and this requires creativity.
Chinese meaning: 提出新的问题,发现新的可能,从新的角度审视已存在的问题,这些需要创造性的想象力,并标志着科学的真正进步。--阿尔伯特 爱因斯坦、利奥波德 英费尔德
Activity 2 Introduction

2. Introduce the learning objectives of this period.
Step 2 Pre-reading
Activity 3 Pre-reading
1. Warm up. Read the title of the text and introduce the background information.
1) What can you read from the title What questions can you raise according to the title to predict the main content of the text Then, what’s the main idea of the text
JOHN SNOW (Who) DEFEATS (How) “KING CHOLERA”(What)
Who was John Snow What is King Cholera What did John Snow do about King Cholera

How do you think John Snow defeated King Cholera
Why was it John Snow, not other doctors, who defeated King Cholera
Why is it called King Cholera
What harm does cholera do to people
What is the influence of John Snow’s study on science
Main idea: Perhaps the passage mainly tells us how John Snow defeated King Cholera.
2) Introduce the background information.
Who was John Snow John Snow (1813-1858) was an English physician who was born in York, trained in Newcastle, and then set up a practice in London. He first came to the attention of Queen Victoria because he was an early advocate of the use of anaesthesia (麻醉) and made ground-breaking contributions to that field. For more information, read the passage.
What is cholera Cholera is an infectious disease that causes severe watery diarrhea (腹泻), which can lead to dehydration (脱水) and even death if untreated. It is caused by eating food or drinking water containing a bacterium called Vibrio cholera. The disease is most common in places with poor sanitation (卫生设施), crowding and mon locations include parts of Africa, south Asia, and Latin America.
2. Discuss the stages of scientific research on P2 in groups. What order would you put them in according your common sense
Step 3 While-reading
Activity 4 Reading comprehension—Reading for general idea
Read the text to get some information to check whether your order is correct, summarize the main idea and use key words to describe the main idea of each part.
