Suggested Answer Key

I learnt that it is one of the most common phobias. I learnt that in Cambodia, people eat deep-fried spiders. I also learnt that exposure therapy is a way to overcome arachnophobia.

ICT €P To expand the topic by researching online and to give a presentation

• Ask Ss to research on the Internet and find out more information about arachnids and make notes.

• Give Ss time to prepare their presentations. Alternatively, assign the task as HW.

• Ask various Ss to give a presentation to the rest of the class. Ss can prepare a Powerpoint presentation.

Suggested Answer Key

Good afternoon, my name is .... Spiders, scorpions, daddy longlegs, mites, and ticks - what are all these creatures? ... Arachnids, that’s right!

Arachnids are invertebrates. This means they have no backbones. The body has a fused head and thorax, an abdomen and usually four pairs of appendages which can include fangs in spiders.

Arachnids live nearly everywhere on Earth. They live in grassy fields, wet swamps, hot, sandy deserts, cool, dark caves, tropical rainforests and mountains.

Arachnophobia is a common fear. Who here is afraid of spiders?... Not many of you. How about scorpions?... Lots of you - including me! Well, I suppose we will have to learn to live with our fear, because arachnids are everywhere! Thank you for listening.
