Summary
This article introduces the main purpose of environmental education today is to study how people can help solve environmental problems. Based on this, the author designs a set of courses. To understand the positive and negative impacts of the watershed on the lives of those living around it. The author divided the course into five lessons. Before introducing the five-lesson course, the author introduces the background of the class that developed the course. In this class have seven English Language Learners, for these seven ELLs the author will be mentioned in the subsequent course arrangement. The theme of the first course is to lead the students to draw the watershed, because most of the students do not have a clear understanding of the watershed before the course, so we should first lead the students to know the watershed, and draw the topographic map of the watershed. The second class is mainly about the animals that lead to the watershed of the number of students. Before the students touch these animals, the teacher will lead the students to observe the specimens of the animals and tell them a safety note before the students touch the animals. The third course will lead students to review the first two lessons, and then to understand the interaction between human beings and the watershed through the game mode. The fourth lesson is the theme of the sedimentation. In this class, the teacher will lead the students to do some simulation experiments. The last class will lead the students to conclude by considering what positive impact humans can have on the watershed.
Application
I think there are two things I can learn from this course. On the one hand, the teacher led the students to visit the field and did a lot of experiments, including simulated experiments in the classroom. The field investigation will give students a direct and clear understanding of this activity, while the experiment will help students better understand some results. On the other hand, the author provides a large number of questions in the daily curriculum design, which can help us better carry out teaching. Therefore, in my future teaching, I can guide students to visit some local places even if there is no river basin. But it also requires extra attention to safety.

This journal article explained a watershed lesson thoroughly as well as walked the reader through the activity as if they were the one teaching it. It had all of the concepts laid out, with each of the lesson components interwoven with the material needed and the lesson that the teacher wanted the students to learn. It included artwork from the classroom, as well as the standards that were used in this lesson. It is an easy read, with everything fully explained and lesson plans offered. This is a great resource for someone teaching about watersheds, what they are, who lives there, and human impact on watersheds. This article left very little to the imagination, and reads as easily as a extended lesson plan.
