导
If there is a chance for you to save an animal,which one will you choose? Why?
Now let’s read these two posters.
思
Look at the posters below. Which emotions do the photos communicate?
funny surprising frightening sad …
I think it's …
Possible answer:
I think it's a little frightening! It doesn't look friendly and its teeth look sharp(尖锐的).
Possible answer:
I think they're cute. They look soft and gentle.
“Ugly” animals are just as important as cute animals because nature needs variety to function properly(正常运转).
Cutting down trees to make paper destroys the natural habitat of many animals.
Read the posters and write a one-sentence summary for each.
key words:
ugly;important;
variety
key words:
make paper;habitat;
destroyed
Look at the posters again. Discuss the questions in groups.
1. What does each poster use to stir up
emotions?
2. What does each poster want people to do?
How do you know?
3. In your opinion, which poster is more
effective? Why?
1. What does each poster use to stir up emotions?
The first poster uses an ugly picture of an animal to get a reaction(反应) from the readers, but then makes the point that this reaction is part of the problem, because all animals should be protected, not just ones we think are cute.
The second has a cute picture and the headline (大标题)is written as if the koalas were speaking to the readers which may make them more sympathetic(同情的;共鸣的).
Possible answers.
议
2. What does each poster want people to do? How do you know?
The first poster wants us to consider “ugly” animals just as important as cute ones, because it asks us directly to do that.
The second wants us to be aware of(意识到) our paper consumption(纸张消耗). It appeals to(呼吁) our emotions to change because what we are doing is not fair(公平的) to animals like koalas.
I think the “Give Ugly a Chance” poster is more effective, because the viewer will react to the ugly animal first, and then read that this reaction is part of the problem that needs to be dealt with(处理).
