课题 M5U3 Welcome to the unit Teaching 3-dimensional objectives: 1. knowledge skills： 1.To guide the students to think more about the relationship between science and nature. 2. To help the students to describe some items and atmosphere with scientific terms. 3. To guide the students to express their opinions on cloned animals and humans as well. 4. To develop the students’ interest in doing more reading and research on the topic. 2. process method：Listening\Speaking\Reading\Wringing 3. emotion, attitude value: To love the science and respect the nature Teaching Importants: Words , phrases and sentence patterns Teaching Difficults: Practical usage Teahing Aids: Blackboard , slides and handouts Teaching procedures: Step 1 Lead-in Play a dialogue about height-increasing operations and ask students to fill in the blanks. After checking the answers, allow some time for students to freely express their opinions on height-increasing operations, thus introduce the major topic “science versus nature”。 [Explanation] 用一段有关增高术的听力引入 主题，主要是考虑到这一切入点与实际生活较为贴近，比较容易让学生有话说，作为人类利用科学对自然的东西做出改变的一个典型例子可以顺其自然得引入本课主题。 Step 2 Science versus nature 1. Explain the word “versus” ( Two sides are against each other) 2. Brainstorming. (I) Ask students to think of other cases in which science goes against nature? (The teacher can introduce some new vocabulary like GM food and plastic surgery which might be useful in later teaching). (I) Show some pictures to help them better understand these things. Suggested answers: GM food, cloning, dams, artificial rainfall, organ transplant, air conditioner, cloud seeding, plastic surgery, euthanasia, etc. 3. Allow students some time to have a light discussion on advantages and disadvantages of any of the above cases. 4. In terms of science versus nature, what do you think the relationship between science and nature should be like? (Both advance in harmony) [Explanation] 本节将主题定位在“科学对抗自然”，让学生了解了这一关系后，用头脑风暴的形式让学生从增高术联想起更多的现实生活中能体现这一关系的案例，如转基因食品，人工雨等。 Step
