環(huán)境問題/保護,無論是雅思作文,還是module essay,各種變體出現(xiàn)。學(xué)生們的難點在于:框架結(jié)構(gòu)和學(xué)術(shù)語言。本期Australiaway就以學(xué)生的作業(yè)為例,環(huán)境問題除了文本essay寫作形式,還可以通過視頻essay的形式來表達。一起來看看吧!
視頻essay怎么完成
Task Description
You must communicate the importance of your chosen environmental issue to students at you college and encourage them to take action.Using your knowledge of research and persuasion,you are to develop a creative and engaging video to promote your chosen environmental issue.
Australiaway說:作業(yè)的難點在于不再是傳統(tǒng)的論文,而是制作短視頻。論文也好,視頻也罷,重要的都是建立框架,再填充內(nèi)容。
Video Structure
-why your chosen issue is a significant problem in the world today?
-why people may not care about the issue or refuse to acknowledge it?
-why college students need to care about this issue?
-what will happen in the future if this issue is not addressed?
-what viewers can do to address this issue(simple and realistic actions)?
Australiaway說:既然是以interview的形式,那么視頻的結(jié)構(gòu)就可以以問題組成。
Lead-in video(油管上關(guān)于碳足跡危害的視頻,時間:30-40s),相當(dāng)于一個background信息,作為視頻的一個引入。
屏幕上出現(xiàn)第一個問題:What do you think is the biggest environmental issue we face today,播放采訪視頻,并出現(xiàn)關(guān)于碳足跡與全球變暖的聯(lián)系以及相關(guān)危害的資料,出現(xiàn)關(guān)鍵字:Global Warming:the biggest environmental issue(Nova,2014).
(旁白:humanity’s carbon footprint has contributed to global warming,which is one of the biggest environment issues.)
緊接著,出現(xiàn)第二個問題:Do you know what carbon footprint it?,在所有被訪者的給出答案之后,屏幕上出現(xiàn)它的官方定義。
屏幕上的關(guān)鍵字:
carbon footprint:shorthand for the amount of carbon(usually in tonnes)being emitted by an activity or organization(EPA).
(旁白:Today,the term“carbon footprint”is often used as shorthand for the amount of carbon(usually in tonnes)being emitted by an activity or organization(EPA).and There is a constantly low level’s of knowledge about carbon footprint.)
屏幕上出現(xiàn)第三四個問題,順接著采訪之后,由此引出以下Nova在2014的研究
屏幕上的關(guān)鍵詞:
270 visitor,San Diego park
Question:How global warming works?
Result:Zero could give the right answer.
(旁白:When Michael Ranney,a professor of Education at University of California,surveyed 270 visitors to a San Diego park on how global warming works,he found that exactly zero could provide the proper mechanism.)
屏幕上出現(xiàn):Why should college students care?出現(xiàn)采訪者的答案,仍然是上面那個實驗:
屏幕上的關(guān)鍵詞:
79 psychology undergraduates at UC Berkeley
Question:How global warming works?
Result:an average of 3.8 out of 9 possible points
