任务发布·分组选边
Task & grouping
Hold a debate: Is digital life good or bad for us? Today, we cannot live without technology. In this unit, we explored digital life. How has digital technology made life easier? How can we use digital devices wisely? What will digital life be like in the future?
Step 1:Work in groups and choose your side. Search for more ideas about digital life and think of its advantages and disadvantages. 分组选边、搜集素材,六方面考虑:communication 沟通/learning 学习/music & movies 音乐与电影/safety 安全/health 健康/news 新闻。
提示选边后别只想己方优点:把对方可能的论点也列出来,六方面每格写「利/弊」两条。
分组并选定正方(好)或反方(坏);
按六方面搜集利弊素材,每格写两条;
预判对方论点,为反驳做准备。
大纲支架·亮立场与多轮交锋

引导多轮交锋三件套:论点(While... 让步式最有力)→例证(个人经历最有说服力)→反驳(With all due respect 先礼后兵),每轮发言三件套齐上阵;总结两段式:先复述本方要点,再用 At its core... 升华到「技术之外」。
按大纲分工:一人 Opening、两人 Several rounds(论点+反驳各一)、一人 Conclusion;
从支架中挑选句式写出发言稿;
组内互查:每轮发言是否「论点+例证」配套。
实战演练·辩论与投票

按四标准(倾听/友善/不打断/清晰)给双方投票;
复盘:本方哪个论点最有力、哪句反驳最精彩。
范文赏析
Model appreciation
赏析范文:We firmly believe that digital life brings more benefits than harms. While technology has its drawbacks, its advantages in connectivity, efficiency, and accessibility far outweigh the negatives. Digital technology has revolutionized communication, allowing instant connections across the globe. For example, video calls enable families separated by distance to stay close. Online education platforms, like Coursera, provide learning opportunities to people in remote areas. Additionally, smart devices save time on daily tasks, giving us more freedom to focus on meaningful activities.
Personally, I've experienced the benefits firsthand—my grandfather received life-saving medical advice via telemedicine. Studies also show that digital tools boost productivity by 40% in workplaces. Some argue that digital life causes isolation, but in reality, social media fosters communities—think of support groups for mental health. While overuse is risky, moderation solves this. In summary, digital life improves education, healthcare, and communication. The key is balanced usage. We must embrace technology while safeguarding human connections.
点破范文五段式:亮立场(firmly believe)→三论点各带例证→亲身体验+数据→预判反驳(Some argue..., but in reality...)→总结金句 The key is balanced usage;提示偷师两处:预判反驳抢先手、embrace technology while safeguarding human connections 两头兼顾。
给范文标注五段结构与各段功能;
摘抄金句:Some argue that..., but in reality.../We must embrace technology while safeguarding human connections;
对照自己的辩论稿,找出可补强的一段。
