Ss form groups to use library resources and Internet resources to get answers to the following questions: — What is cloning? — Give a brief history of the scientific research into cloning. — What are the major pros and cons of human cloning? — During your research, what new vocabulary items have you come across that are related to cloning? 2) Groups report to class. To save time and give presentation opportunities to more groups, no one group need answer all the questions. A group member may write down new vocabulary items (in both English and Chinese) on the blackboard while another member is presenting. 3.
