Unit 3 Science versus Nature 教学案 1 设计意图：在第一课时的学习中(welcome to the unit)，学生对克隆技术和基因工程有了初步的了解。在此基础上通过本课的学习使学生进一步了解克隆技术的发展和运用。通过设计一些练习，使学生在了解人们对于克隆问题不同态度的同时，形成自己对这个问题的看法，并初步形成科学与自然和谐发展的观念，为深入学习本单元奠定科学的思想基础。本单元以reading的形式呈现，旨在提高学生的听、说、读、方面的能力，掌握一定的阅读技巧。 Teaching goals: 1. make students learn more about cloning technology and its uses 2. get students to learn different opinions on cloning and form their own views about it 3. improve students’ abilities of getting the meanings of key words and expressions according to contexts 4. practice reading skills in this unit Teaching difficult and important points: 1. how to figure out the points of views hold by different persons mentioned in the text 2. how to form own views about some topics clearly and support them with arguments Teaching methods Listening， skimming， scanning and debate Teaching aids a tape recorder a projector and a computer Teaching procedures: Step 1: revision Review the new words taught in last class and check their homework Step 2: lead in T: Hello！ boys and girls. In last class we learned what is cloning. A clone is an exact copy of a plant or an animal. I have some pictures about cloning here. Let’s look at them one by one. (show the pictures to the students) Picture 1: a mouse with a cloned human eye on its back Picture 2: Noah， the first cloned endangered gaur. Gaur is a kind of endangered Asian ox. Noah is the first cloned gaur， which was born on January 8th.2001. Unfortunately， Noah died two days later. The experiment proved that it was possible to save endangered species through cloning. Picture 3: a post of the latest film named X-men: The last stand The latest scientific film X-men: The last stand is about some genetically changed humans. Some of them intend to control the whole natural humans’ world with their special power while others try their best to prevent them. It is hard to imagine what the world would become， if the crazy genetically changed humans were not controlled. Step 3: p
