A. both of the writers are pro-cloning.
B. both of the writers are anti-cloning.
C. neither of the writers are against cloning.
D. both of the writers are not for cloning human embryos
Second reading—Understanding scientific terms
Circle the unfamiliar words or things you do not understand while second reading.
Step 4 Jigsaw reading for performance
Each group need to read one paragraph and converse it into a short drama, a monologue, or a small press conference dependently, or else.
Requirements:
You need to get the main idea of each paragraph across to your audience with very short performance and you need to focus on some details.

What animals has China succeeded in cloning?
What can stem cells be used for?
After ss’ performance , ask ss
What are the different attitudes towards the success of cloning a human embryo?
Possible answers
1)Valuable tissues and organs can be produced and be used to save human lives
2) Human beings may be on the way to producing a real-life monster.
3) Cloning human embryos with the intention of destroying them shows no respect for human life.
Go back to the first prediction What’s the author’s opinion on cloning?and work out the answer : neutral
Ask ss how they work it out ( according to useful expressions
