Learning Goals in Period 5
In this period,you’ll:
1. Master the tools of expository writing - numbers (200 tons), scope (excluding the Arctic Ocean), time (90 years), and causal logic (whales' extinction benefits the ecosystem).
2. Be able to make the emotional transition from third person to first person (It can → I am gentle/love), and upgrade the expository writing to a "suggestion + reason" type argumentative essay (We should... because...) .
3. Use the △/□/〇 symbols to circle and mark the 5 types of information for the + four-person plete the 3a decoding within 8 minutes. Copy the "total - part - total" structure from 3a to 3b (self-description → facts → emotions) and 3c (wonderful → problem → suggestion).
4. Be able to explain the "ecological foundation" value of the blue whale; in the 3c assignment, propose an actionable protection plan (such as stopping excessive fishing / cleaning the sea action).
