牛津译林版高中英语选修七Unit 1《Living with technology》(Project2)教学设计单元：Unit1 Living with technology板块：Project 2Thoughts on design:这是Project板块的第二课时。
本板块的核心思想是让学生运用本单元所学的所有知识和技能，在课堂之外，独立或以小组形式开展项目研究。
它提供的这篇文章能够说有双重目的，一方面为学生立即开展的项目研究提供范本；另一方面它也是本单元中重要的语篇材料，含有丰富的语言知识可供学生学习。
第二课时侧重语言知识的学习和项目研究的前期预备，如分组、研究重点的确立、不同观点的讨论、小组成员任务分工等。
