教学方法Teaching method: Task-based and student-centered language teaching method
教学步骤Teaching procedures:
Step 1: Lead-in
Show the students a picture of the earth with many cute animals on it.
T: It is a wonderful and colorful world because millions of animals live on it. However, during the long period of time, quite a lot of animals die out, of which the most famous animals are dinosaurs. Yesterday I asked you to read this passage and prepare at least 5 questions and answers. Now let’s play a game called “hot chair”, which we have played before.
The students volunteer to ask and answer questions concerning this passage to get stars. According to the rules, the group that get the most stars will be the winner.
The teacher may add two more questions if necessary:
1. Did dinosaurs eat people? Why not?
2. Two theories explaining the reason for dinosaurs’ extinction are mentioned in the passage. Which do you think is true and why?
Step 2: Listening
Apart from dinosaurs, another animal also died out, which is called the dodo.
1. Show the students a picture of the dodo, lead them to figure out the characteristics of the dodo, and get them to predict what may have caused the dodo to disappear.
2. Listen to the material and find out the main idea. (B)
A. This story is about how foolish the dodo was.
B. This story is about how the dodo became extinct.
C. This story is about how the dodo and Man became friends.
D. This story is about how the other birds and animals tried to save the dodo.
3. Listen to the material again and answer the following questions. Remind them to pay special attention to the latter part of the material, because later their memory will be tested.
(1). Who is telling the story?
(2). Why did the number of the dodo decrease quickly?
(3). How do you describe Man in the story?
4. Get the students to fill in the blanks based on their memory.
I went off as if I was going to hunt but instead I ______ in the forest and _______. Sure enough Man came along. He ran after the _____ of my dodo friend and killed her. I felt so ______ that I ______ out…. He killed me too.
Step 3: Role play
After the dodo rushed out and before he was killed, they must have said something to each other. What might have been said? Now one of you play the role of the dodo and the other Man. Try to make up a dialogue with your partner and act it out. You may begin your dialogue like this:
— Dodo: (very angrily)What have you done? I thought we were friends.
— Man: Er… Let me explain….
— Dodo: …
— Man: …
— …
— …
— …
Step4: Oral report
Show the students three pictures, each of which shows one animal facing serious problems. A: a shark whose fin is being cut off ; B: a white rhino whose horn has been cut off ; C: a polar bear walking on melting ice whose back has been contaminated by oil
Then get the students to talk about what problems they are facing, after which guide them to choose one animal and make an oral report about how to protect the endangered animal.

※ I’d like to … in order to…
※ I’d rather not …
※ I’m ready to … to teach them a lesson.
※ I’m determined to … to punish those who do harm to wildlife.
When they talk about things they can do to save the animal, they may use the above sentence patterns.
Step 5: Summing up
Show the students a picture called “Wake up, Mum”, and tell them a sad story about a fox family so as to help them realize it is cruel, selfish and unfair for human beings to eat, sell or buy wild animal products. Human beings and wildlife should live in harmony on the earth. To protect wildlife is to protect ourselves.
Step 6: Homework
Write down your oral report on a sheet of paper.
Finish the exercises on Page 67 to 68 in the guided book.
