Unit3 Science versus nature (Brief Teaching Plan)
2. get students to form groups of four or six to discuss the further questions:
from just these pictures, can you identify the differences between the cloned animals and normal ones?
in your opinion, what might be the differences between these cloned animals and normal ones? can these animals lead a normal life as normal animals?
ask several groups to report their answers to the class. allow different opinions and encourage further discussion.
3. have students hold a debate about whether it would be a good idea to clone humans some day. divide students into two groups. one group represents anti-cloning views while the other represents pro-cloning views. encourage students to provide as many reasons as they can to support their ideas.
step3 homework
assign students to surf the internet or refer to other sources for further information relevant to cloning technology, so as to finish the first two questions below the pictures. ask students to make as many notes as possible.
