The first period

reading Step I. Warming up

Warming up by describing

Good morning, class. Today we are going to read about A PROTECTOR OF AFRICAN WILDLIFE. But first, I’d like to know if you have ever heard of women like Elizabeth Fry, Soong Chingling, Jane Goodall, Jody Williams, Joan of Arc and Lin Qiaozhi. Now turn to page 1, look at the photos, read the captions and describe to your neighbor the women in focus. Who is she? What is she? What did she do to benefit the world?

Warming up by discussing

Hi, every one. How did you spend your winter vacation? Did you read any books? Did you read any women of achievement? What makes a woman of achievement? Now in pairs discuss the women on page one. Which of these women do you think is a great woman? Give reasons for your choice.

Warming up by reading aloud and translating

Step II. Pre-reading

1. Looking and saying

Work in pairs. Look at the photos and the title A PROTECTOR OF AFRICAN WILDLIFE and predict the contents of the text. When you are ready, join another pair and compare your predictions and the clues that helped you to make the predictions.

(Key: From the photos and title I guess that the text tells about a woman scientist who is working in Africa to protect the wildlife there. She studies a family of chimps, delivers a speech on their behaviour, arguing for them to be left in the wild and protected. )

2. Talking and sharing

Work in groups of four. Tell your group mates what you know about wildlife protection. Then the group leader is to stand up and share your group idea with the class.

(Key: I am from Group 3. We think that Jane is a woman of achievement. For she has helped people understand how much chimps behave like humans. Because of her we know that it is better for the animals to be left in the wild or in the special places set up for them. )

Step III. Reading

1. Reading aloud to the recording

Now please listen and read aloud to the recording of the text A PROTECTOR OF AFRICAN WILDLIFE. Pay attention to the pronunciation of each word and the pauses within each sentence. I will play the tape twice and you shall read aloud twice, too.

2. Reading and underlining

Next you are to read and underline all the useful expressions or collocations in the passage. Copy them to your notebook after class as homework.

3. Reading to identify the topic sentence of each paragraph

Skim the text and identify the topic sentence of each paragraph. You may find it either at the beginning, the middle or the end of the paragraph.

(Key: 1st paragraph: Our group are all going to visit the chimps in the forest. 2nd paragraph: Nobody before has fully understood chimp behaviour. 3rd paragraph: For forty years Jane Goodall has been helping the rest of the world understand and respect the life of these animals.)

4. Reading and transferring information

Read the text again to complete the table, which list what Jane does to protect African wildlife.

What does Jane do?

Studied these animals for many years

Spent many years observing and recording their daily activities

Discovered that chimps hunt and eat meat

Discovered how chimps communicate with each other

Argued for chimps to be left in the wild

Set up special places

Working with animals in their own environment

5. Reading and understanding difficult sentences

As you have read the text times, you can surely tell which sentences are difficult to understand. Now put your questions concerning the difficult points to me the teacher.

Step IV. Closing down

Closing down by doing exercises

To end the lesson you are to do the comprehending exercises No. 1 and 2. 2. Closing down by having a discussion

Do you agree with Jane’s ideas? Why or why not?

(Key: I agree with Jane’s idea, because leaving the animals in the wild is the only good way to protect them. The animals belong to the forest, just as we belong to the civilized world. ) What do you think is the best way to protect wildlife?

(Key: I think the best way is to understand and respect the life of animals. Setting up special places where they can live safely is important and effective)

Closing down by retelling the story of Jane Goodall

I shall write some key words and expressions on the board. You are to retell the story of Jane Goodall according to these words.

(Key: visit the chimps, watch the chimps, understand chimp behaviour, argue for…, set up special places)
