单元总览
单元主题分析
本单元围绕“自然奇观”这一主题展开,与课程标准“人与自然”主题范畴下的“不同地区的自然景观;热爱与敬畏自然,与自然和谐共生”等子主题紧密相连。其核心目标在于引导学生认识世界著名的自然奇观,理解它们的独特价值及其在生态系统中的重要性,培养学生探索自然的科学精神，同时树立保护自然、维护生态平衡的责任意识,最终形成人与自然和谐共生的可持续发展理念。
本单元的大问题是“How do we connect with nature ”。为了探讨这个问题,Section A和Section B分别设置了两个引导性问题来承接并统领各版块的学习。Section A在“What's amazing about nature ”这一问题的引导下,通过地理知识竞赛的形式介绍了世界之最的自然奇观(如珠穆朗玛峰、撒哈拉沙漠、马里亚纳海沟等),让学生掌握这些自然奇观的基本特征和科学数据;通过深海探索的对话,展现人类对未知领域的科学探索精神,同时揭示深海污染问题;通过河流文明的讨论,帮助学生理解自然与人类文明的密切关系。这些内容让学生在学习描述自然特征的语言的同时，直观感受自然的多样性与重要性，为理解“与自然联结”奠定认知基础。
Section B的引导性问题是“Why do we explore nature ”,该部分通过两个典型文本展开对此问
题的探讨:攀登珠穆朗玛峰的历程,体现人类挑战自然、探索极限的勇气与决心;大堡礁的广告则以生动的语言描绘自然之美,鼓励人们亲近与体验自然。两者共同揭示了人类探索自然的多重动机一既有对未知的好奇,也有对美好的向往，同时隐含“探索需兼顾保护”的深意。这让学生理解,“与自然联结”不仅是认知与欣赏,更包括负责任的探索与守护。
总而言之,本单元以“自然奇观”为切入点，融合了自然知识、语言技能与价值引导。通过多样化语篇,引导学生从认知自然、探索自然到守护自然，逐步构建对“人与自然联结”的完整理解,培养尊重自然、和谐共生的意识。
