附录：人教版高中英语选择性必修二Unit 1 Science and Scientists单元的Project部分
Think outside the Box
Most great scientists have the ability to see the world in ways that other people do not, and to come up with new ideas that other people have never thought of. In many cases, this has caused other people to think that they are crazy at first. However, that thinking ability is important to their creative process.
In this project, you are going to create an unusual invention.
1. Discuss these questions in groups.
What is the purpose of each invention?
Why is the invention unusual?
2. Choose one of the inventions, and brainstorm as many reasons as you can to explain how and why the invention is useful.
3. Divide the following tasks within your group:
Write down ideas for the invention
Serve as the presenter for the product/invention
Make props and pictures for the invention
4. Create your product and present it to your class.
EXAMPLE

Woman: Since I bought the Goldfish Shark-Fin for my Henry, he has turned into a new fish! Now he swims with the big fish! I'm so proud of him!
Presenter: You too can change the life of your fish! For just 999 yuan! Hurry! Buy it today!
