2019学年度人教版选修七Unit2RobotsPeriod5 Using Language教案设计

(A Biography of Isaac Asimov)

Introduction

Language is learned to be used in and for communication. So in this period we shall have the students read, listen, write and speak in English, making use of the focused words, collocations, structures and topic ideas covered in this unit. Warming up by making passive voice sentences is to be followed by reading for forms, copying collocations from A Biography of Isaac Asimov, writing your own story with the collocations from A Biography of Isaac Asimov and reading more about Asimov. The class ends by students discussing the 1940 Laws of Robotics by Asimov.
