【設計說明】 文章原先安排的任務是猜測并繪出外星人的模樣,并用文字描述將外星人的外形特征;由于考慮到這個任務的難度,筆者將任務改為對未來人類的預測,并提供問題提示,降低難度,將話題從漫無邊際的想象轉至日常生活,最大程度地調動學生想象的積極性。 step5 assignment
draw a picture of the future humans, then write a description based on your drawing. 【設計說明】 讓學生參考文章結構與內容,用文字表述未來人類在生理、心理、生活、工作等方面的特點與變化,并將自己的設計做成powerpoint文件,在第四課時中上臺展示。
