Teaching Aims To help students develop their reading ability. To help students learn about women of achievement. Teaching Procedures Warming up and 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 Nice to see you back at school, boys and girls. As you have all prepared lessons before class I shall ask six of you at random to read aloud and translate the captions - 1 -

under the photos on page one. Zhao Yanfei, would you try reading aloud and translating the first caption? （Key:

伊丽莎白·弗赖伊是一位教友派信徒。她帮助改善了监禁条件，向囚犯提供工作和教育机会。

她的工作帮助教友派赢得了1947年度的诺贝尔和平奖。）

Well done! Next let’s have Ju Xiaohong do the second one.

Step II. Pre-reading 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. ) 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. )

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)
