Module 10 Unit one Building the future Welcome to the unit教学设计永州市第三中学郑玉英Thoughts on the design： This class is an introduction to the whole,so it is a preparation for the input of information of the unit.And the main teaching form is to let the students discuss and show what they think and what they have learned.Another purpose of the class is to give the students a platform to practice their listening and speaking ability by sharing information.（本节课是属于整个单元内容的导入部分，因此在内容上讲重要是为整个单元的信息输入做好准备，而采用的教学形式则是以学生讨论和展示为主，在学习技能上主要是为训练学生的听说能力提供平台。）Teaching aims: 1. Get to know something about the development of the world, the issue of poverty, the causes of poverty as well as the possible solutions to the problem.2. Practice listening and speaking by sharing information.3. Get ready for the learning of this unit.Teaching important and difficult points: 1. By learning the causes of poverty,let the students know the solutions ,especially the long-term solutions to it. 2. How to improve the students ability of listening and speaking.Teaching procedures: Step 1 Brainstorming1. play a video for the students to have something about poverty in their heart.2. Show some pictures for the students to know more about poverty . What do these pictures remind you of? Step 2 Pair work Ask the students to find out the causes of poverty and the possible solutions to the problem by means of pair work. Causes: wars ,diseases ,natural disasters , poor environment , growing population. Solutions :stop wars ;give medical care and training;donate food and money ;improve local environment ;provide educational training ;develop renewable energy.Step 3 PresentationAsk the students to look at the four pictures and have a discussion according to the each picture.Picture 11）What can you see in the picture ? People are waiting in line to get food. 2) Do you think that giving food and money to poor people can solve all their problems? Why or why not? Food aid is a short-term solution as it gives food immediately to people who are very hungry, but it does not allow them to grow their own food in the future. As a saying goes ,Give a man a fish,and you feed him for a day.Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for the rest of his life.Picture 21)Whats in the picture? Vegetables grown with modern technology.2. )What are the advantages and disadvantages of modern agriculture? We may feed more people with the modern agriculture and create new jobs, but on the other hand it may cause pollution.3) Do you think training people to make a living is a short-term or a long-term solution to the problem of poverty? Why or why not? It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.Picture 31) What has happened to the village? It has become a city. With the development of society, many villages have changed a lot over the years. Tall building have been built and motorways and bridges have been constructed. The living conditions of local people have been greatly improved. Small villages have been developed into towns or cities.2) What problems may developing too fast cause? Developing too fast might harm the natural environment. For example, many trees have been cut down in order to build factories, roads and bridges. Also, almost everything we do in our modern lives, be it cooking or traveling, requires the use of Earths natural resources, which we may run out of one day.3) Do you think that development may be bad for a country in some ways? Why or why not?As we can see , development brings both opportunities and challenges.Without correct policies and strategies, it may be bad for a country.Natural resources may be used up in development.Picture 41. What do you think the things are used for? I think the machines are used to generate(make) electricity by using wind power.2. What might happen to the coal, oil and other natural resources in a thousand years? The supplies of coal, oil and other natural resources might run out in a thousands years.3. What is renewable energy? Can you suggest some good examples of energy for the future? Renewable energy is energy that comes from a source that will not run out. Solar, wind and hydroelectric or water energy are all sources of renewable energy that could be used in the future.Step 4 .Group discussionAsk students to find out the great changes that have taken place in Yongzhou, where they are living and studying so that they will care more about their hometown and try their best to learn more knowledge to serve the hometown in the future. Is Yongzhou developing at a fast rate? What will it look like in twenty yearstime? Show some pictures about Yongzhou in the past ,at present and imagine Yongzhou in the futureMy thoughts on the design I want to let the students talk about the great changes in their life and study by group discussion and try to use what they have learned in real life.Give the students chance to think and speak in English,and at the same time,to train their ability of team work.(教师让学生通过小组讨论，谈谈他们生活和学习的城市的巨大变化，把发生的身边的事情用用英语表达出来，真正做到学以致用。同时，通过小组讨论培养学生合作学习的能力.)Step 5 .Homework 1) Writing: In order to build a better future,we should first solve the problems of poverty.please use what you learned today to write a short article abou
