Unit 4 Space ExplorationReading for Writing【教材分析】The topic of this part is “Present an argument about space exploration”.This section is about an argument about introducing different benefits of exploring space. Argumentative essays have a stable structure. The first paragraph always presents a certain phenomenon or topic. The body always has the structure of putting up with the supportive or opposing views and their reasons or specific cases. The end always draws a conclusion. In the first paragraph, the author put forward the discussed topic—the benefits of exploring space. In paragraph 2 to paragraph 4, he or she gave 3 pieces of supportive opinions and the reasons or the specific cases. In paragraph 5, we can come to the conclusion—exploring space provides the world with many different benefits.Therefore, students should be guided to learn the structure and write an essay like this after reading the argumentative essay. But before doing this, students should understand the main ideas about the article and find the topic sentences of each paragraph.【教学目标】1.

So some people support space exploration because they think it has brought a lot of benefits to humans. But on the other hand, some people think there are a lot of questions to be solved like hunger and diseases. Why d on’t we spend more money and effort on them? What is your idea and why?I think we should be in favor of it because a lot of space technologies have already provided service for us common people, like GPS.I think we should stop it because we need more money and effort to help the poor, the disabled. What’s worse, there are a lot of risks in space exploration, like the Challenger accident.Step 2 While reading—Task 11.

There are still many things to discover in the ocean depths and the Antarctic.But we do not even have to go that far:Science has yet to unlock all the mysteries of the atom,and there are many realms of technology that we are justbeginning to understand and explore.In the end,it just does not seem a very wise investment to go to space.We have too many needs here on the earth to be wasting our effort on space exploration.StepⅠ Homework假定你是李华,你班最近一次班会的主题是“太空探险的意义”。
