T asks students to think about what is a fact and what is a file. If they are not sure, T leads students to look up the word in the dictionary. T: Do you know what a fact is? A fact refers to a particular situation that exists. What is a file? A file is a set of papers, records, etc. that contain information about a particular person or subject. And what is a fact file? A fact file is the actual information like a biography about a particular person or subject. 2. T asks students to think about what is a fact file about a person like and lists some scientists they know about. T: Then what is a fact file about a person like? Today, our topic is a fact file about a scientist. What is a fact file about a scientist like? By the way, what scientists do you know about? Here are several scientists from abroad and home for your reference. Step 2 Reading 1. T asks Ss to read Part C in the textbook to have a basic understanding of a fact file about a scientist. T: While reading, pay attention to the content and layout of this fact file about Charles Darwin. Try to conclude the characteristics of writing a fact file about a person. T: Now I would like to ask you several questions, you can find the answers from the fact file in your textbook. • Who is the scientist? • Could you find the basic introduction of the scientist? • What contributions did he make to the whole world? • Can you tell the interesting fact about the scientist? 2. Summarize the main points of a fact file. T instructs Ss to read Part B in the textbook. T: In your opinion, what should you consider when you make a fact file about a scientist? Part B of the textbook gives us some ideas: • Personal information (name, date of birth/death, nationality, childhood, education, etc.) • Achievements (scientific research, published works, etc.) • Influence • Interesting facts T: You can also put some illustrations and pictures on the page. Can you come up with some other aspects? 3. T asks Ss what the features of a fact file are. T: Now if we need to make a fact file. In your opinion, what are the characteristics of a fact file about a person? T: They are supposed to be beautifully designed, well-organized, concise and vivid, including illustrations like portraits. Step 3 Preparing 1. T Divides the students into groups of 4 and each group selects the scientist they are going to research. T: Since you have learned the definition and features of how to write a fact file about a scientist, the first thing is to choose one scientist who has changed the world whether at home or abroad. Then, discuss in your group. In addition, each group member can try to collect the information from one aspect (including personal information, achievements, influence and interesting facts). 2. Search for relevant information. T gives some tips on finding information for a fact file about a scientist. T: But where can we find the information related to scientists? Here are some tips for you. Information can be found on the Internet, in libraries, in a biography or an autobiography, or in scientific journals. Are there any other resources to add? T: When searching for proper information, we should pay attention to the accuracy of the information we find, especially on the Internet. Also, we should underline the influence of the scientists to show their devotion to science. Generally speaking, information from official sources can be trusted. 3. How to organize information. Groups who have chosen the same scientist have a discussion about what information is needed for the fact file and how the information can be obtained. T: Now you are divided into groups and you have your own research target, scientists from different countries in different scientific fields. I’d like you to cooperate with your group members and search for information by using different resources. Step 4 Put the pieces together 1. Discuss the steps to make a fact file about a famous scientist. First, get your information prepared. List the things you might need: personal information, achievements, influence and interesting fact. Second, organize your materials and ideas. Gather things that carry your information about the scientist. Think carefully about the layout. (T shows the layout of a fact file) Third, fill your materials in the fact file. Fourth, decorate your pages with specific portraits of the scientists. 2. Ss finish the fact file in a group. Step 5 Presentation Ss are invited in front of the class to present their fact files. T: OK! Time is up. We are desperate to enjoy other groups’ works, right? Now let’s share our work with the classmates. Step 6 Polish up 1.T invites Ss in different groups to revise the fact files for each other. T: I would like to invite you to revise your classmates’ works with this reference form as follows. For example, you can check whether your classmates use the proper language in the fact file. Evaluation criteria Yes No Language accuracy Information accuracy Beautiful layout Concise design ... 2.T asks every group to put the fact files on the wall for everyone to enjoy after class.

Read the magazine article about a great naturalist and painter and answer the questions below. Maria Sibylla Merian—drawing from life In 17th - century Europe, it was unheard of for a woman to travel by herself, but that didn't stop Maria Sibylla Merian. In 1699, she and her 21 - year - old daughter Dorothea sailed from Amsterdam to Surinam in South America. The three - month voyage was dangerous but she was determined to go. Besides, she was on a bold mission. She would be the first person to go to a foreign country to study and paint insects directly from nature. When they arrived in Surinam, Maria and Dorothea started working. Day after day, they took their painting materials into the hot, humid rainforest to collect and draw insects and plants. Artists had never done such a thing before. Still life painters drew from dead specimens. But Merian had always been interested in painting living animals and plants, and her favourite subjects were insects. In the rainforest, she climbed ladders to study and collect insects. She had trees cut down so she could see what lived at the top level of the forest more than a hundred feet overhead. Merian combined both art and science in her work. A skilled observer, she kept detailed notes. Merian planned to stay in Surinam for five years, painting and collecting insects and plants that Europeans had never seen. She learnt about the medicinal plants of the area and expanded her interest to spiders, birds, lizards and snakes. She planned to publish a book of her new work on her return to Amsterdam. After two years, she had to leave Surinam. The heat was unbearable and she was ill with malaria. But she had more than enough material for a book. In June 1701, Maria and Dorothea sailed back to Amsterdam with many paintings and specimens—butterflies preserved in brandy, bottles with crocodiles and snakes, lizards’ eggs and boxes of pressed insects. Four years later, in 1705, Merian published the book for which she is best known, Metamorphosis of the Insects of Surinam. The paintings of insects and plants in their natural habitats revolutionized scientific illustration and advanced the scientific study of insects. 1. What does the underlined word “specimens” in the second paragraph mean? _ _ _ _ 2. Why does the author think that Merian's achievements were unusual? Give at least three reasons. _ _ _ _ Reading and speaking 阅读笔记: 我今天的阅读收获: 1 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 $
