Unit4 写作课名师教学设计(一)Mod ule 2 Unit 4 Wildlife protectionPeriod 5 Using language speaking and writing宁波市北仑中学唐静芬I. 教材分析:这一部分的教学内容源于必修二第四单元Wildlife protection的using language,该部分糅合了两种语言技能的训练,即说与写。
教材要求学生以小组为单位讨论野生动物灭绝的原因,然后以口头报告的形式在班上展示,最后将小组讨论结果写入提交给世界野生动物保护基金会的求助信。
通过这样的语言技能训练,学生不仅可以学到相应的语言知识、提升语言运用的能力,还能培养小组合作的能力和提高保护野生动物的意识。
学科核心素养要求下的语言能力、思维品质、学习能力和文化品格也可以得到进一步的加强。
II. 学生分析:来自省一级重点中学的高一学生,通过必修一的学习,已逐渐进入高中英语学习状态且适应了高中英语学习的强度,在课堂上的表现也越来越积极主动活跃。
而且同学之间已非常熟悉,应该能较为积极地参与小组讨论活动。
本单元前面的内容学习已为这堂课做了很多铺垫,所以学生讨论起濒危动物的面临灭绝的原因和解决对策来也是得心应手。
III. 教学整体设计及意图:教师通过角色代入,以Daisy(本单元阅读课的女主人公)的名义带领学生阅读野生动物基金会官方网站的新闻,一起探寻书信的写作内容与结构,接着通过Daisy自己的写作尝试让学生总结出写作时的关注点,然后鼓励学生讨论亚洲象濒危的原因和对策,最后要求学生就小组讨论内容写一封给野生动物基金会的求助信。
这样的设计就使得写作要求的出现不显得那么得生硬突然,话题引出显得更加自然,每一步骤的衔接也更为直接顺畅。
整堂课融合了听说读写四种技能的训练,在乐趣中学习,在学习中培养思维品质和文化品格。

四级保护野生动物的英语作文A Level 4 Priority":Protecting wildlife has become a pressing global concern as human activities continue to threaten the delicate balance of ecosystems worldwide. As the human population grows and our demands on natural resources increase, many species face the risk of extinction, jeopardizing the biodiversity that is essential for a healthy planet. In recognition of the gravity of this issue, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has established a system of conservation status categories, with Level 4 being the highest level of protection for the most endangered species.At the heart of this conservation effort is the recognition that wildlife plays a crucial role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium that sustains all life on Earth. Each species, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant, is a vital component of the complex web of interdependence that governs the natural world. The loss of even a single species can have rippling effects that destabilize entire ecosystems, leading to a cascading series of consequences that can be difficult to predict and even more challenging to remedy.One of the primary threats to wildlife is habitat destruction, as human development encroaches on natural environments, fragmenting and degrading the land and resources that animals depend on for survival. Deforestation, urbanization, and the expansion of agriculture and industry have all taken a heavy toll on wildlife populations, forcing many species to adapt or perish in the face of these relentless pressures.Another significant threat is poaching and illegal wildlife trade, which have decimated the populations of many high-profile species, such as elephants, rhinoceroses, and tigers, whose body parts are prized in certain traditional medicine and luxury markets. This illicit trade not only threatens the survival of these species but also undermines the efforts of conservation organizations and law enforcement agencies to protect them.Climate change poses an additional challenge, as shifting weather patterns and rising temperatures disrupt the delicate balance of ecosystems, forcing many species to migrate or adapt to new environmental conditions that may not be suitable for their long-term survival. The impact of climate change is particularly acute for species that are already struggling to maintain viable populations, further compounding the threats they face.In response to these multifaceted challenges, the IUCN and otherconservation organizations have developed a comprehensive approach to protecting wildlife that encompasses a range of strategies and interventions. This includes the establishment of protected areas, such as national parks and wildlife refuges, where species can thrive without the threat of human interference. These protected areas not only provide a safe haven for endangered species but also serve as important research and educational hubs, helping to increase our understanding of the natural world and the importance of preserving it.In addition to protected areas, conservation efforts also focus on species-specific interventions, such as captive breeding programs, habitat restoration, and anti-poaching initiatives. These targeted approaches are essential for addressing the unique challenges faced by individual species, ensuring that their specific needs are met and that their populations can be stabilized and, in some cases, even restored.One of the most critical components of successful wildlife conservation is the involvement and support of local communities. Many of the world's most threatened species are found in regions where indigenous populations have long-standing cultural and economic ties to the natural environment. By engaging these communities in the conservation process and empowering them to become stewards of their local ecosystems, conservation efforts canbe more effective and sustainable in the long term.Moreover, the protection of wildlife is not just an environmental imperative but also a moral and ethical obligation. As the dominant species on the planet, humans have a responsibility to ensure that the natural world is preserved for future generations. The loss of any species is not only a tragedy for the ecosystem but also a reflection of our own failure to be responsible caretakers of the planet we call home.In conclusion, the protection of wildlife at the highest level of conservation status, as designated by the IUCN's Level 4 category, is a global priority that requires a multifaceted and collaborative approach. By addressing the various threats to wildlife, such as habitat destruction, poaching, and climate change, and by engaging local communities in the conservation process, we can work to safeguard the rich biodiversity that is essential for the health and resilience of our planet. Ultimately, the preservation of wildlife is not just a matter of environmental stewardship but also a testament to our own humanity and our ability to coexist with the natural world in a sustainable and responsible manner.。

Later, throughout various dynasties, the animal was bred in imperial parks but, tragically , by 1900 it had become extinct in China. But 100 years later, David`s deer has returned.A look back at the history shows that tens of thousands of years of civilization achieved by man have been the cost of our natural environment. The wetland, home for the Milu deer dubbed the kidneys of the world. But centuries of devastations have led to series of soil erosion, depriving wetland animals of their habitats and the environment of one of its vital functions. The return of milu deer to China is a reminder to the Chinese people of the need to protect our mother earth.Something about dinosaurs:Dinosaurs first appeared about 200 million years ago, many kinds of dinosaurs became extinct.
