Period 1: Warming-up & reading(Ⅰ) Learning Aims

2

To talk about endangered species

To read about wildlife protection

Learning Procedures

I. Warming up

I believe we have made many friends now. And today we will go on to get some information about another friend of us. That is animals.

Do you like animals? Which animal do you like best? Why?

But nowadays some animals need our help. Why? What happened to them?

(endangered: food, habitat, environment, human…)

Can you give some example? Let’s look at some pictures. (Panda, Milu deer, South China tiger...)

Why are they endangered? What’s the situation now? (Then show the report on P25)

Ⅱ. Reading

How about other wildlife? How about their situations? Let’s go with Daisy to visit some of them and learn how to protect wildlife. 1.Fast-reading Look through the passage on P26 with the following two questions: 1.What is the passage mainly about? It’s

about

Daisy’s

wonderful

experience

with

some

animals

in

her

dream.

2.What happened to the following animals?

3

Antelopes

Elephants rhinos

The monkey

They are likely to disappear altogether

and They are being protected by the local government.

2. Careful- It is unhappy with the way humans are dealing with environment problems.

reading Read with the tape for detailed information. Part 1. the situation for antelopes What did Daisy want to see first? Why? (pictures) (Antelopes. She would like to see the animals that gave fur to make her sweater.) What happened to them? How many left? (They are killed for fur and the wood and may be all gone. 7200 of them left.) Part 2. a change of the situation for elephants and rhinos What’s the situation in the past? (They used to be hunted by farmers and became endangered in Zimbabwe.) What’s the situation now? (They are protected.) How does the change happen? (The government’s great help.) Part 3. learning to help wildlife Why did the monkey rub itself? (He found a millipede insect and rubbed it over his body to protect from mosquitoes.) How did Daisy want to help? (She wanted to tell WWF and began producing this new drug.)

3.

Summary (Fill in blanks and read together.)

One day, Daisy dreams a strange dream. She flew in a wonderful chair to talk with an antelope in Tibet. The antelope told her they were hunted because of their fur which can be used to make sweaters like hers. In three years they may all be gone. Later, she flew to Zimbabwe where she talked with an elephant and got to know the farmers there no longer hunted them. That’s because the government decided to help and the farmers finally make a lot of money. At last she arrived at the thick rain forest where a monkey told her “No rain forest, no animals and no drugs . ”Although finally everything was gone, she had learned so much!

Ⅲ. Group work 1. What does WWF stand for? （World Wildlife Fund）

After Daisy told her experience, what would WWF do to protect the animals? (After discussion, show students’ ideas) 2. The endangered animals must be very happy to hear our ideas. Now you are going to visit one kind of animal and tell them the good news. Discuss in a group and begin your dialogue with the appearance of a chair and the scene you saw.

Ⅳ. Homework Make up the text- based dialogue. Find out the useful expressions as well as the difficult points.

5

Period 2: Reading(Ⅱ) & Comprehending Learning Aims

To retell Daisy’s experience with a dialogue

To learn about the important words and expressions

Learning Procedures

I. Warming up by acting a text play

Good morning class. To begin with we shall put our text HOW DAISY LEARNED TO HELP WILDLIFE on stage, that is, to act out our story. Now the class act out your text plays of HOW DAISY LEARNED TO HELP WILDLIFE! (Ask some groups to act out dialogues.) Example text play: Daisy: (waking) Who are you? Why are you here in my bedroom?

Chair: Excuse me. I am the famous Flying Chair.

Daisy: What are you here for?

Chair: I am here to take you on a trip. Where would you go?

Daisy: I’d like to see animals that gave furs to make this sweater of mine.

Chair: During the history of the earth there have lived on the earth many, many kinds of animals. But many have disappeared because of various reasons.

Daisy: Yes, you are right. I learned from books that tens of millions of years ago, a rare new species of dinosaur, a bird-like dinosaur, came into being. It could climb trees and was very lovely. Then it died out because something hit the earth suddenly,

6

putting much dust into the air. So the earth got too hot for the animal to live on.

Chair: But no one knows for sure what caused all those ancient animals to die out, disappearing from the earth for ever.

Daisy: I shall get dressed and put on my jeans and sweater soon. Then let’s fly away to Tibet China to see the antelopes.

Chair: Here we are in Tibet! Turn around. There is a antelope there with a sad face.

Antelope: Hello, friends. Welcome to my home. You two look so friendly, unlike those who came to kill us to use our furs make sweaters.

Daisy: Sweaters like the one I am wearing? Oh, I am terribly sorry.

Antelope: The bad men came in groups to kill my family members for the wool. They took it from under our stomach.

Chair: I shall take a picture of you and the antelope, to be shown to all the world people.

Daisy: Come Antelope! Let’s have a picture taken together. We shall be off to Zimbabwe too see elephants there.

Chair: Here we are. This is a national park for animals. People came to see them and help with them.

Daisy: Look, there comes an excited elephant. Hello, dear Elephant! Why are you so excited?

Elephant: We are all excited because things have changed a lot here.

Chair: Why? What happened?

Elephant: We became endangered years ago. People came to destroy the farm and kill us for trunks. They are actually our long teeth.

7

Daisy: I have heard of that. They take your teeth and make them into art work.

Chair: Man is really selfish and disgusting. But Daisy is a nice girl. Now let’s have a picture taken together.

Elephant: Those bad men used to come and kill us. But now are well protected by the government and the good people. We are happy now.

Daisy: Good- bye, Elephant!

Chair: Take care, Daisy. We shall hurry to our last stop, the thick rain forest in South America.

Daisy: Wow! Look to the right. A lovely mother monkey is there. She seems to be rubbing herself. Hi, Monkey Mother! What are you doing?

Monkey: I am rubbing a millipede insect over my body to protect myself from the mosquitoes.

Daisy: How intelligent you are!

Monkey: It contains a powerful drug which affects mosquitoes. There are lots of plants and little animals in the rain forest here which can be helpful to man.

Daisy: Is that so? I am going to take photos of all those useful plants and animals. I will show the photos to my classmates so that they understand you lovely animals and the forest better. I will apply to be allowed to work here to help you get a better living in the forest.

Monkey: Thank you so much! Some unfriendly people came to catch us, to put us in the zoo in the city. We monkeys prefer living in the forest.

Daisy: Good- bye, Monkey! I will report what I learned on this trip to WWF. I will invite all my schoolmates to join us in the protecting project. The future is to be

bright for both you the animals and us the human beings. See you! Wonderful, thank you! If WWF can really do what we have thought of, then it can achieve its goals. What on earth has it done and what are the goals? Turn to P64, finish the passage about WWF. (Then check the answers and read together.)

Ⅱ. Comprehending Here, we have come across many words and expressions from the passage. Turn back to the passage. Can you find some other useful expressions? (After asking the students, the teacher can show his own: wake up, a flying chair, get dressed, put on one’s jeans, fly away to…, turn around, with a sad face, use…to make…, kill…for…, take…from under…, take one’s picture,

take photos, apply to, hunt…for…, make money for…, as a result, protect…from…, rub…over…, pay attention to) Useful expressions: 1.as a result (of) : because of 由于……的结果

In this passage, we also have some difficult points. What is difficult for you? (Explain the points raised by students and that need special attention) Now, let’s check what we just have learned. Do exercises 1, 2 & 3 on P28 and check them.

Ⅲ. Using words and expressions Then how to use the words and expressions by ourselves? Let’s have a try. Read an example on P63- 2, and after that we are going to write down our own about wildlife protection, using as many new words and expressions as possible. (After discussing and writing, show students’ works and show a piece of the teacher’, if possible.)

Ⅳ. Homework Review the words and expressions Find out sentences using passive voice

Period 3: Learning about language (The Present Progressive Passive Voice)

11

Learning Aims

To discover useful structures.

To learn about The Present Progressive Passive Voice

Learning Procedures

Ⅰ. Learning the structure As we all know, many species are in danger, the reason for which is various. But anyway, humans play a terrible part in it. Look at pictures.

What do they do? e.g. Picture 1: People cut down trees. →

Trees are cut down. Picture 2: The villagers pollute the river. →The river …

What are they doing? e.g.

Picture 1: People are cutting down trees. →

The trees are being cut down.

Picture 2: The small boy is polluting the river. →The river …

Picture 3: The man is hunting an elephant. →The elephant …

Find out sentences with the same structure from the passage. Structures:

Present passive voice: is/ am/ are+ done Present progressive passive voice: is/ am/ are + being done

Ⅱ. Practicing the structure Now try to put the following sentences into The Present Progressive Passive Voice.

▲

They are producing this new drug.

▲

Antelope is looking at her.

12

▲

They are killing us for the wool.

▲

They are destroying the farm.

To consolidate your learning of The Present Progressive Passive Voice, turn to page 29 and do the grammar exercises 2 and 3.

III. Studying Passive Voice using different tenses Now let’s look at more sentences with passive voice. e.g. Fords are made in Cologne. (Present Simple) Dinner is being cooked by Susan (Present Continuous)

Dubliners was written by James Joyce. (Past Simple)

The house was being painted when I arrived. (Past Continuous)

Over 20 models have been produced in the past two years. (Present Perfect) A new factory is going to be built in Portland. (Future simple with be going to)

It will be finished tomorrow. (Future Simple)

Make a conclusion about the past verb formation 一般现在时：am/is/are+p.p 一般过去时：was/were+p.p 现在进行时：am/is/are being+p.p 过去进行时：was/were being +p.p 现在完成时：have/has been+p.p 过去完成时：had been+p.p 一般将来时：will/shall be +p.p Exercise: 1）用被动语态的适当形式填空:

13

____________(plant) now.

____________(plant) every spring.

____________(plant) last spring.

____________(plant) next spring. A lot of trees

____________(plant) this time yesterday.

_____________(plant) since ten years ago.

_____________(plant) by the end of 2000. Our neighbour said a lot of trees _________(plant) the next spring.

2）用动词的适当形式填空: 1.Don’t worry about her. She ___________ (meet) by her friends as soon as she arrives. 2.He____________________ (operate) on twice for that disease. 3.The news ________________(talk) about everywhere. 4.English ______________(teach) here in China for over a century. 5.A lot of tall buildings _____________(set) up, and people will move in sometime next year.

IV. Closing down by playing a game

To end this period, we’ll make a dialogue about wildlife protection. Use sentences containing The Present Progressive Passive Voice and other tenses.

Useful expressions: What has been done?

I believe…

It is said/ reported that…

14

What is being done?

In one’s opinion…

According to…

What will be done?

As far as I know…

in the past 10 years

…

…

Ⅴ. Homework Review Present Progressive Passive Voice Pre- view the reading passages on P30 & 65.

Period 4: Using language: Reading & listening Learning Aims

To get some information about dinosaurs and their disappearance To train students’ listening ability

Learning Procedures

Ⅰ. Warming up with Milu deer

We’ve learned a lot of animals are endangered. And people have done and will do a lot to help wildlife. However, as a student, what can you do to help the animals around us? Union is strength. If everyone can do what we can to help wildlife, we will certainly get the animals back. Here is an example how cooperation helps bring the animal back.

Which animal is it? (Milu deer, P65)

Ⅱ.Reading about dinosaurs

Luckily, we’ve saved Milu deer. But for some animals, we can no longer help them, because they have dies out. For example? (dinosaurs) Would you like to tell me something about dinosaurs? (pictures) Read the questions in the table below and scan the text to answer them.

When did dinosaurs live on earth?

When did dinosaurs die out?

How did dinosaurs die out?

Any other animals disappeared? Say something about them.

16

III. Listening about the dodo

Have you ever heard of the dodo, an animal that has also disappeared from the earth?

The Mauritius Dodo, more commonly just Dodo, was a meter-high flightless bird of the island of Mauritius. The Dodo, which is now extinct, lived on fruit and nested on the ground. (Pictures) Next we are going to listen to the tape and do exercises 1&2 on page 30

Listen again and fill in the blanks: Once upon a time, I lived on earth too. I was called “dodo”. My home was an island

called Mauritius. I was curious and kind-hearted and quite

different

from

most of the other animals there. I liked to make friends with the other animals and never quarreled. I had no enemies . My best friends were the other birds, the monkeys and all the other dodos of course. There were many of us. We were birds too but we were

large

and only had

small

wings . My favourite activity was to

wander

along the beach and wait till the

insects

were ready to be eaten.

One day a new animal came to my island. It was called man and

at

first

we seemed to be good friends. Man followed me everywhere and I gave him some of my insects to eat. But one day I

wondered

where my other dodo friends were. Several of them seemed to have

disappeared . I asked the other birds and the monkeys. They all said the same thing. “Your friends

are

being

hunted

and killed while you are walking on the beach.”

Had man eaten them? I could not believe it. So I asked my friend, man, if it was true. He seemed surprised. “I have not seen the other

17

dodos lately.” he said, “Perhaps they

are

being

killed

and eaten by some other animals.”

When more dodos

disappeared

, I set a trap. I pretended to go for my walk but instead I hid in the forest and waited. Sure enough man came along. He ran after the last of my dodo friends and I saw him kill her. I felt so angry that I

rushed

out straight at man’s spear. He killed me too. I was the last of my

species . After that there were

no

more

dodos in the world. My advice is : be careful who you trust.

Retell what happened to dodo in your own words.

IV. Homework The dodo seems in trouble. What can we do to help him?

Period 5: Using language: Speaking & writing Learning Aims

To speak about helping the dodo

To write to the dodo

Learning Procedures

Ⅰ. Speaking

Yesterday we learned the story about dodo, and he was in trouble there. What problems did he meet? What can you think of to help him solve the problems?

18

(Write down students’

suggestions on the blackboard) Imagine you are with the dodo and you try to help him. Now talk in pairs about helping the dodo with the given useful phrases Intention I’m going to

I intend/mean/plan to I will Purpose help the dodo hide it in a cave trap man as he kills a dodo I feel like I’d like to

I’m ready to

attacking man myself put man in a cage teach man how to be friends I would rather not tell you what I think of man (Then invite some pairs to act out the dialogues)

Ⅱ. Writing to the dodo

The dodo must be happy with our suggestions, but now it is far away from us. Why not write a letter to him?

Collect your ideas for the letter and then write to tell him how you will help him. For example: 1. How to protect the dodo from man. 2. How to stop man from killing dodos 3. How to teach man to hunt another animal

19

Step 1 Collect your ideas for the letter and write down as notes. Step 2 Begin your letter like this: Dear Dodo,

I am writing to you because I have heard of your problems. …

Step 3 Finish the letter by writing:

Yours sincerely.

(your name) Step 4 Check your writing and share your ideas with the class by reading them aloud. Sample letter to the Dodo Dear Dodo,

I am writing to you because I have heard of your problems. I know man is trying to kill all the dodos and I want to help you. Here are my ideas.

First, I would like to come and attack them for you so that they will leave you alone. I want to build a trap and catch them and put them in a cage. Then they will not feel like killing any dodos again.

Second, I wish I could take you away to another island where you will be happy and peaceful.

I wish I were with you now. Good luck till I come.

Yours sincerely,

Xiao Xing
