Students’ need analysis

Light pollution is quite a new topic for many students in a sense that they may not relate “light” to “pollution”. Even though some of them know light pollution, they may not be aware of its seriousness and its specific impacts on humans and wildlife. Therefore, it’s important to show them the devastating effects of light pollution, especially on animals. Besides, growing up in cities, most students have little idea how much starry night means to us. Thus, efforts should be made to get students to feel the glory of starry nights and how they benefit us humans. Furthermore, students are not at home with the use of mind-map, so examples should be provided for reference. Last but not least, the heavy vocabulary load and great language complexity may pose a great barrier to students’ comprehension, so activities should be designed to reduce students’ difficulties in comprehending the text, like words preparation and group work.

Teaching objectives

By the end of the class, students will be able to:

Realize the seriousness of light pollution

Figure out the main idea and structure of the passage;

Organize their idea and sort out the major points of the passage by drawing a mind-map through group work.

4. Understand the author’s concern over the disappearance of dark night and the loss of starry night.

Teaching method

In this lesson, two approaches are mainly adopted. That is, collaborative learning and thinking-visualization-based learning approach. To be specific, mind-map is used in this lesson as a thinking visualization tool. It is related to the pedagogical theory of constructivism, which asserts that productive learning occurs when students create meaning on their own or in groups by connecting previous knowledge and experience with newly formed knowledge and experience.
