StepⅠ Greetings & Lead-in
T: Good morning, everybody!
Did you have a nice weekend?
I went to the zoo with some friends. I saw a lot of animals and birds there. I like them very much. Do you like animals? (Yes!) What kind of animal do you like most?
S1: I like the dog best.
T: Good! What about you?
S2: I like the monkey most. It’s clever and smart.
T: Well done! OK, today we are going to talk about animals.
StepⅡ Warming up
T: Please look at the pictures on P.64. There are 3 kinds of animals. Who can tell us what they are?
S: They are tigers, pandas and Tibetan antelopes.
T: Right. From picture 1, we can see 2 tigers. They’re running happily and living a peaceful life in nature. But they are in danger now. Who can tell us why the tiger is in danger?
S1: The forests they live in are destroyed, they can no longer hide and hunt.
S2: People kill tigers to sell their fur and use their bones for medicine.
T: Very good! What about the panda? The pandas in picture are enjoying their meal. However, in fact, the number of the panda is getting smaller and smaller. What are the reasons?
S: Let me try. There are few areas left where pandas can live and some people kill them for their fur.
T: Right! What do you know about the Tibetan antelopes?
S: They are beautiful. But people hunt them for their fur.
T: That’s right.
T: Right. We know nowadays many of the world’s animals and plants are in danger. Can you name them as many as possible?
S:Let me try. the Golden monkey, the Chinese alligator, the gorilla, the zebra, the pangolin, the elephant, the blue whale and so on.
T:Good. Now, let’s finish the next two questions. Please discuss the questions on the screen in groups of four.
(Show the following questions on the screen.)
1. Why is it important to make sure that animals do not die out?
2. What can we do to help endangered animals?
Possible answers:
2. If animals and plants die out, we will not be able to survive.
All animals and plants are necessary if we want healthy ecosystems.
They’re important. We need them for medical and commercial purposes.
3. Stop people cutting down too many trees and killing animals.
Protect their habitat.
Protect the environment from now on.
StepⅢ Speaking
Task 1: Words of the animals’ names
T: We know that animals are friends of human beings. Look at the pictures on P.66. Here are some of them.
Who can write down their names on the blackboard?
(Ask one or two students to write these names on the blackboard.)
Good! Go back to your seat, please.
Task 2: Interviewing
Let the Ss read the instructions carefully and make sure that they know what to do.
T: I think most of you have seen the animals in the zoo.
Do you think they are happy in the zoo or they prefer to live in the wild? (There may be two kinds of answers among the students.) Now, let’s play a game. Look at the Speaking part. Read the instructions and then finish the dialogue. Please work in pairs. A few minutes later, I’ll ask some pairs to act out your dialogues.
(When pairs have finished, ask one or two pairs to repeat their interviews in front of the class.)
Sample dialogues:
Suggested dialogue 1
A: a reporter B: a tiger
A: Would you mind my asking you some questions?
B: Of course not.
A: Where did you live before they brought you to the zoo?
B: I lived in a forest in the south.
A: How long have you lived in the zoo?
B: About a year.
A: Do you like living in the zoo?
B: Yes, I like it.
A: Can you tell us why?
B: Yes. I needn’t worry about food. I always have enough to eat. And it’s safer here.
A: Do you mean that you prefer living in the zoo to living in the jungle?
B: You are right.
A: Do you have anything to say to all humans?
B: Yes, I want to tell them to build bigger zoos for us. Then we will feel much more comfortable.
Suggested dialogue 2
A: a reporter B: an elephant
A: Nice to meet you.
B: Nice to meet you, too.
A: May I ask you some questions?
B: Sure. Go ahead.
A: Where did you live before they brought you here?
B: I used to live in a great forest in South Africa.
A: How long have you lived in the zoo?
B: About two years.
A: Do you prefer living in the zoo or living in the jungle?
B: I prefer living in the jungle.
A: Can you tell us why?
B: Yes. The zoo is too small for me. I can’t run, and I can’t see my friends. I miss them very much. And I think the climate is also a problem for me. It’s hard for me to get used to it.
A: If you could say something to all humans, what would you tell them?
B: I would tell them not to destroy forests, and not to kill too many of us any more in the future. I don’t think this is a good thing for them.
A: Do you think you can go back to your home one day?
B: I don’t know. I know that people are trying to let us go back to our home some day, but first of all, they must protect the environment.
A: I know that human beings have already started to protect the environment. I think you can go back to your home some day.
B: I hope so.
StepⅣ Talking
Page 139. Talking. Make sure that the students understand the situation and the task. Give them time to prepare the role cards and provide assistance or model as needed. When the students have completed the cards, remind them of the ground rules for discussion and let them start the discussion. What’s more, let them pay attention to the useful phrases.
Sample Dialogue 1
S1: Hello, Mr. Dolphin. I know you are a best friend of ours. Can you tell me the reason why you are regarded as man’s best friend?
S2: All right. You know, I can help people do many things. For instance, I can help you learn more about swimming and I can also help you look for things in the ocean. I am a good friend also because I can make humans feel happy. I can even save people’s lives when they are in danger in the ocean.
Sample Dialogue 2
S3: Hi, Miss Pigeon, I have heard a lot about you. And you have done many good deeds for us human beings. But you have never boasted yourself. Today I want to interview you and I’d like you to say something to us.
S4: Hi, my dear friend. I’m very glad to tell you something about myself. I think I am man’s best friend. Everybody knows that pigeons are good at carrying letters and messages. I have taken many important letters all across the country and I don’t need electricity or petrol, I just fly wherever I need to go.
Sample Dialogue 3
S5: Excuse me, but can I speak to you for a moment, Dr. Polly?
S6: Sure. You can ask me whatever you like.
S5: Dr. Polly, we have known you since we were in junior middle school. We have learned a lot from you. You know, you are the cleverest animals in the world and you can speak just as human beings do.
S6: Yeah, as a matter of fact, I am one of the members in a family. I can enjoy happiness and sorrows with human beings.
Sample Dialogue 4
S7: Can you spare me a few minutes, Mr. Deer?
S8: Yes, I can. What would you like to talk today?
S7: Someone often says to me that deer are the best friends of human beings and I’d like you to tell me why people have such kind of thinking.
S8: That’s easy. I must say that all of you have mentioned many good animals except me. In my opinion I am your only true friend because I am free and gentle, so humans treat us like a friend-not like a machine or a toy.
Step V Homework
T: Today, we’ve talked about some endangered animals and ways to protect them. We know that we must try our best to protect animals and the environment. Do you think so? We’ve also learnt some new words and useful expressions. You should master them after class.
Homework today:
1. Read about the Talking part on P.139, try to understand it and work in groups of four. Everybody should choose one animal and complete your role card.
2. Collect some information and pictures about pollution.
OK! That’s all for today. See you tomorrow!
