Step I Revision The materials about environment protection are put in the Appendix. Step II Writing (Page38) The purpose of this writing is for students to describe one environmental problem and say what we should do about it. It’s a good opportunity for a discussion about the problems and the solutions. After the discussion, they can write down the problems and the way to solve them. T: Last class we have read some materials about environmental protection. Do you

know some major environmental problems? S1: air pollution, petrol pollution, waste water and noise pollution. T: OK. There are many types of pollution. But choose a major one around you and find out the solution to solve it. Now discuss the problem in pairs and write down in a few sentences. T: Have you finished it? I’ll ask some of you to read your short passage.

S1: One major environmental problem is indoor air pollution. There are many sources of indoor air pollution. Tobacco smoke, cooking and heating appliances, and vapors from building materials, paints, furniture, etc. cause pollution inside buildings. Air pollution can affect our health in many ways with both short-term and long-term effects. So we shouldn’t stay in the room for a long time. We need to go outdoors to breathe fresh air and do some exercises. S2: One major environmental problem is black carbon pollution.. Black carbon pollution is the release of tiny particles into the air from burning fuel for energy. Now it constitutes a serious and widespread problem, not only to human health, but also to the entire global environment. We must find a new and less-polluted energy to replace coal. T: Excellent! Now turn to Page40. Step III Task The purpose of this writing task is for the students to write a letter

that encourages people to look after the environment. T: Read through the passages that we have read in this module and find out seven things you can do in your everyday life for environmental protection. T: Have you found them? S1: We should put waste paper in a special bag in order to recycle it. S2: We should try to avoid using plastic bags. S3: We will put our leftover food into a special can. S4: I won’t step on the grass any more.

S5: I won’t catch the bird.

S6: I will persuade people who smoke not to smoke.

S7: I will join an organization that protects the environment. T: Now prepare a large piece of paper. Think of a heading for your poster. (The teacher goes around the classroom to help students) T: Now show your headings to the whole class. S1: SAVE OUR EARTH S2: SAVE THE BIRDS S3: KEEP OFF THE GRASS S4: NO SMOKING S5: LEFTOVER FOOD HERE T: Now complete write a letter with a few sentences using pictures if necessary. (Ask several students to show their posters) Show sample poster: SAVE OUR EARTH Plant trees every year. Keep off the grass. Ride a bike or walk to work or school. No smoking. Don’t throw away rubbish.

Step IV Writing Ask students to read the message on an Internet environment discussion group and find out the detailed information. Then write a message to the Internet environment discussion group to show your opinions about an environmental problem. T: Now read the message and answer the three questions on top of Page90, Activity17. (After read the passage) T: Have you found the answers? Now we’ll check the answers. Now we’ll come to

Activity18. First you should choose a topic and then follow the instructions to write a message. Suggested message: I’m very concerned about global climate change. It’s a very serious global problem today. From what I understand, there are many factors for global warming. The doubling atmospheric carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, would cause rising ocean temperatures, which will cause an increase in evaporation. The added water vapor, also a greenhouse gas, will enhance the greenhouse effect, which would further increase global warming. There is evidence that for nearly two hundred years our planet has been warming. This is seen not only in climate observations, but also in some physical and biological indicators of environmental change. Some scientists, supported by concerned environmental organizations such as Greenpeace and the World Wild Life Fund, have concluded that many of the patterns associated with this warming can be attributed to the growing impact of human activity on the planet.

They have forecast that over the next hundred years we will create a climate on earth that will be warmer than any so far experienced by the human species. They believe
