Unit 4 Amazing Plants and Animals单元写作写作任务单
写作主题:介绍神奇的动植物(Introducing Amazing Plants and Animals)
本单元围绕“神奇的动植物”(Amazing Plants and Animals)这一主题展开,该主题与课标要求的“人与自然”主题范畴中的子话题“自然生态与环境保护”以及“人与社会”主题范畴中的“科学探索与生命关怀”密切相关。八年级学生正处于好奇心旺盛、探索欲强烈的阶段,自然界中形态各异的动植物是他们感兴趣的话题。引导学生用英语了解、描述并介绍神奇的动植物,思考人类与自然万物的共生关系,既是语言学习的需要,也是培养科学素养、生命意识与生态责任感的重要途径。
本单元的大问题“What can plants and animals do? ”启发学生从多个维度思考和表达对自然界神奇生命的认识——动植物的种类与特征(blue whale, cheetah, bamboo, redwood tree等)、生活习性与独特能力(speed, strength, survival等)、对人类与生态的作用(play an important role in, be home to, provide...with...等),以及人类应如何与它们和谐共处。Section A聚焦“动植物可以做什么”,通过听说活动让学生掌握描述动植物特征与能力的词汇和句型(如最高级句型It‘s the largest animal in the world.),学习运用形容词和副词最高级对三类及以上事物进行比较;Section B聚焦“动植物与人类的关系”,通过阅读语篇(如蓝鲸自述、竹子的介绍等),引导学生了解动植物在生态系统中的重要作用,学会运用最高级介绍动植物的突出特征,并模仿范文撰写介绍动植物的短文。
本单元的写作任务通常要求学生写一篇介绍某种动植物的短文,具体形式包括:①以“The Power of Plants”为题,介绍一种植物及其重要性;②以“A Amazing Plant — The ______”为题,介绍一种神奇的植物;③以第一人称介绍一种动物(如“My Life as a Blue Whale”);④写一篇保护动植物的倡议书。写作中应重点关注:形容词与副词最高级的准确运用——描述动植物的突出特征时使用最高级(It is the largest/biggest animal in the world.);最高级核心句型的灵活运用——one of the + 最高级 + 复数名词、the + 序数词 + 最高级、in/of范围限定等;说明文语篇结构的逻辑性——采用“引入对象—描述特征与习性—说明作用或价值—总结呼吁”的框架;主谓一致的准确性——主语为单数时谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。

【答案】例文
Let’s protect wild animals!
Wild animals are our good friends and play an important role in keeping the balance of nature. If they disappear, the ecosystem will be destroyed, which will finally affect humans. So it’s necessary to protect them.
What can we do to protect wild animals? First, we should stop hunting and killing them. Second, we need to protect their living environments, such as not cutting down too many trees. Also, we can call on more people to join in the protection.
Let’s take action now. Small efforts can make a big difference. Let’s work together to make wild animals live safely!
