寫作項目——Make an effective poster
本單元的寫作任務是寫一則關于瀕危物種的海報。海報是應用文中的一種，應用場合非常廣泛，其性質類似于廣告。海報視覺效果要強烈，能吸引眼球。海報語言表達要簡明扼要，能打動人心，詞句要生動、鮮活、耐讀。制作該海報需要學生深入了解和研究瀕危物種的境況，并思考保護措施，最終以新穎美觀的形式向人們傳遞信息和意圖。
由教材學寫作
一、學文體架構
二、學寫作手法
1．強烈震撼的標題
課文兩則海報是呼吁人們保護野生動物的公益宣傳海報，標題都短小精悍、吸人眼球，語言感染力強，易引起讀者共鳴。
2．簡明扼要的語言文字
兩則海報的正文的句式多為短句，用詞簡明(如ugly, cute, want, give, cut down等)，但準確貼切，說服力強。第一則海報的正文使用陳述語氣呼吁人們保護各種野生動物，娓娓道來，讓人不知不覺接受作者的觀點；第二則海報的正文使用感嘆句(In this way a lot of animal homes are being destroyed！)和反問句(Is it right to make animals homeless so that humans can have more paper？)，語氣強烈，引人深思。
三、學亮點表達
1．Give Ugly a Chance!
Don't Make Paper with My Home!
賞析：海報一的標題以祈使句的方式呈現，并且使用了“丑陋”這樣的含蓄表達，既委婉真切，又引人深思。海報二的標題也是祈使句，使用了擬人的修辭手法，以考拉的聲音發出呼吁，震撼人心。 “Home”指代樹木，屬于借代修辭。
2．When it comes to wildlife protection, all species — the good, the bad, and the ugly — should be treated equally ... So if you want the future to be beautiful, you have to give ugly a chance.
賞析：首尾兩句都采用了狀語從句的表達方式，語氣委婉含蓄，首尾呼應，表達了作者的觀點：相貌丑陋的動物同樣需要人類的關愛。
3．Is it right to make animals homeless so that humans can have more paper
賞析：反問句的使用，加強了語氣，提升了表達效果，鮮明地亮出了作者的態度和觀點，使讀者產生共鳴。

Ⅲ.讀后續寫
閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫一段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。
Maria and Peter lived in a coastal city. The greatest pleasure in summer for them was to swim at their local beach after school.But one day they started to lose their enthusiasm for swimming in the waters. More often than not, they would find plastic bags thrown on the beach. Worse still, as they swam in the water, some plastic bags would float around them and even stick to their legs when they walked to the shore.
They were upset and decided something needed to be done to stop the beautiful sea becoming consumed by waste. One weekend, Maria and Peter brought a big bag to the beach and determined to clean it up. Sweat streamed down from their forehead while they bent down and picked up the plastic bags. To their disappointment, after a day's hard work，there were still many plastic bags lying on the beach or floating in the water. Going home with aching legs and arms, Maria and Peter were almost defeated by a strong sense of failure.
That night over dinner with their parents，the pair ate silently.Noticing their low spirits, Mother asked gently, “You two looked so down. What happened？” Exchanging glances with Peter, Maria replied in a low voice, “It's those annoying plastic bags. We tried to clean up but it was just impossible.” Understanding the pair's disappointment, their father patted them on the back and comforted, “Well, it's really hard for just two of you to fix such a big problem.” “Just two of us.” complained Maria and Peter, looking at each
other.Suddenly, an idea flashed through their minds, their eyes shining with excitement. “Yes，that's the point! We should make more people aware of the problem and encourage them to take action！” the pair said in chorus.
注意：1.詞數80左右；
2．要求邏輯通順，情節合理，重點描寫他們是如何利用網絡來引起人們關注污染問題的。
Maria and Peter decided to take advantage of the Internet.

The next day，they went to the beach and filmed a short video showing plastic bags lying on the beach and floating in the sea. Excited and nervous，they posted the video on Internet. To their amazement, their post went viral online immediately.More and more people came to the beach to collect plastic bags.The coast regained its beauty soon.

People may appreciate the mighty sea and those deep, dark lakes when it comes to waters. 1 However, ponds are an important body of water as they fight climate change, improve biodiversity, and help conservation, according to The Revelator organization. So if you are thinking about creating a beautiful and enriching element to your garden this spring, consider a pond.
2 In Switzerland, less than ten percent of the ponds from the last 200 years remain. And in the UK, less than a quarter of the ponds that existed at the start of the 20th century are still around.
Nowadays, a European organization called PONDERFUL is trying to give ponds power by increasing awareness of their importance. They are the unsung heroes of the natural world and are in the front line of climate action, supporting wildlife and capturing harmful emissions.
Adding even a tiny pond in your garden can achieve natural wonders and will actually better all other ecosystems, according to Pond Informer, an online guide about ponds. 3 For example, ponds are a shelter for frogs that eat insects and keep the ecosystem balanced.
They also offer a space for birds to bathe, cool off and drink. 4 They help with pollination (授粉), spread seeds, and control insects. Swallows can eat hundreds of thousands of insects each night, bugs that may just munch on your garden during the day!
With help now on the way, Switzerland has made hundreds of new ponds, thus increasing the population of birds and frogs, including the endangered European tree frog. 5
A．Ponds are simply disappearing.
B．Tiny ponds are usually ignored.
C．In turn, these birds can benefit your garden.
D．Your pond can play a part in your community.
E．People can have a great time by creating the ponds.
F．A pond becomes home to many plants and animals.
G．Small, shallow ponds are being restored on former golf courses in the UK.
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了被人們忽視的水域池塘正逐漸消失。人們認識到其對生態帶來的巨大好處，又開始重新修建或者修復原有池塘。
1．選B　上文指出，談到水域大家注意到的是大海和湖泊。下文指出池塘也很重要。選項B指出池塘常常被忽略，承接上文，繼續談水域，又和下文構成轉折關系，符合語境。
2．選A　下文通過舉例指出池塘逐漸消失。選項A指出池塘在消失，符合語境，下文是對這句話的詳細說明。
3．選F　下文指出池塘是青蛙的家。選項F指出池塘是很多動植物的家，符合語境，下文是該選項的具體實例。
4．選C　上文指出，池塘也為鳥類提供了住所。下文指出，反過來鳥類又幫助授粉等活動。選項C從上文轉折到鳥給花園生態帶來的好處，符合語境，而下文又是該選項的具體說明。
5．選G　上文指出，瑞士開始建造新的池塘。選項G指出英國也在恢復池塘，這和上文一樣，都是呈現保護池塘的實例，前后聯系密切，符合語境。Section Ⅵ　 Writing
