Unit 2 Natural disasters
Project（教學設(shè)計）
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.
【設(shè)計意圖：從回顧所學或已知的自然災(zāi)害入手，引導學生思考自然災(zāi)害帶來的嚴重后果以及發(fā)生后常見的救援方法；簡單介紹“信息文件夾”的概念，并闡明本課的任務(wù)：全班合作，共同制作一份有關(guān)自然災(zāi)害救援方法的信息文件夾。】
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.
【設(shè)計意圖：在Step 1的頭腦風暴結(jié)束后，讓學生以小組的形式共同討論，選擇最感興趣的話題進行探究。然后結(jié)合教材提供的探究視角，請學生發(fā)散思維，補充其他感興趣的方面。這樣學生可以有針對性地從多種角度分析、討論救援方法，進而明白要構(gòu)成一個信息文件夾需要放入哪些相關(guān)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.

【設(shè)計意圖：在學生獨立開展探究活動之前，讓學生根據(jù)提供的表格，通過小組討論，合作完成案例的結(jié)構(gòu)與內(nèi)容分析，從而將思維與寫作過程完全可視化、清晰化，有助于學生由面及點地了解如何整理并撰寫一份信息頁?！?br/>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
【設(shè)計意圖：引導學生合理分工，更高效地獲取全面的信息。讓學生得以在小組合作的過程中碰撞思維，培養(yǎng)團隊合作的能力。】
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.
【設(shè)計意圖：學生展示小組成果，鍛煉他們的公眾演說能力。請學生對其他組的作品進行評價、提問或建議，以培養(yǎng)學生表達觀點的能力以及獨立思考與評價的思維品質(zhì)。最后讓學生合成最終的信息文件夾，讓他們看到個人智慧與集體協(xié)作的結(jié)晶，增強學生的成就感。】
V. Homework
Write a short passage about the chosen rescue method based on what has acquired in this lesson. (within 300 words)
【設(shè)計意圖：通過制作信息文件夾的整個探究過程，學生對自然災(zāi)害發(fā)生后的救援工作會有更深的了解。通過寫作，引導學生進一步整合探究過程中的所學與所思，鍛煉學生的寫作能力、加深學生的認知，也有助于學生反思所學、聯(lián)系實際，更好地學以致用。】
