Ход урока

Организационный момент.

Good morning, pupils. Take your seats.

Вступительное слово учителя (звучит музыка The Beatles “Imagine”, меняются слайды презентации).

Since ancient times Nature has served man, being the source of his life. For thousands of years people have been living in harmony with environment and it seemed to them that natural riches were unlimited. But with development of civilization man’s interference in nature began to increase.

Постановка темы, целей урока (тема урока, план урока показаны на слайде презентации).

During previous lessons we spoke about ecological problems of the planet. Today we are going to continuo to speak about urgent environmental problems, name some problems and give their definitions. We are going to read and talk about animals, their life in the wild and their relations with people. We are going to listen to opinions of British children about their attitude to ecological problems. After that you should answer the main question of this lesson “Are You in Charge of the Planet?” And what can children do to help nature? And at last to make a conclusion: How can children save the nature.

Речевая зарядка. Аудирование.

First of all listen to the song and say what ecological problems are discussed in this song. (Звучит песня, меняются слайды презентации.)

Today we are going camping
With your family, friends or a class.
Please help us, don’t drop any litter!
‘Cos, your litter lives longer than us!

Refrain. ‘Cos nothing is forever
And nature is getting tided.
If we don’t stop and think today
Tomorrow the Earth could die.

Today you cut down your forests
But the planet needs our leaves.
Please stop it because tomorrow
You’ll have no air to breathe!

You can have a bath or a shower
But today is the time to think.
Save the rivers because without them
You’ll have no water to drink!

Today we are still in your forests,
In the sky, in the rivers, but look:
Don’t kill us! Because your children
Will see us in picture book!

Проверка домашнего задания. Практика чтения, работы с текстом.

At home you read the article from the National Geographical World magazine about raccoons, their life in the wild and their relations with people. Read and translate the article. (Текст отрывка дан в Книге по чтению Reader-7 с. 44-46)

Some people might wonder why raccoons live in towns. But the raccoons were there first. Cities grow, houses move into woods and fields where once only wild animals lived. As a result, some kinds of animals move out. Raccoons usually stay on.. They can live near people. People don’t always like having raccoons as neighbors, however. The animals can carry dangerous illness.

Raccoons sleep almost of the day. They sleep on the trees branches. At night, they come out in search of food. Dark fur around their eyes gives raccoons the nickname of “masked bandit”. Garbage is now a large part of the city raccoon’s diet. People often try hard to make their garbage cans raccoon-proof, but they usually don’t succeed, because raccoons are clever animals.

In the woods, raccoons usually live in trees, high above the ground. In towns, however, trees are very rare. As a result, raccoons sometimes make their nets in chimneys.

When people discover a raccoon in their house, they usually want to get rid of it. There are people who are good at catching raccoons. It’s a good idea to call on one of these experts for help. City or country officials can help, too, by giving you the names of people who are trained to help homeless, lost, or sick animals. Such people help animals learn to survive in their natural environment. After preparing the cubs for life in the wild, these people release them.

-Do you think there is any ecological problem? Name the problem. What wild animals can we meet in the cities of Russia? How can people help wild animals? Do we have any officials who help wild animals in the cities?

Новый материал. Аудирование, чтение, говорение.

In Great Britain there are a lot of people who think about the future of the planet. Some people take care of animals, others take care of birds, others are in charge of forests. Listen to the opinions of British children. Who of these children helps the Earth? What do they do?

Nikki. I think it is necessary to help wild animals. For example, my relatives live in Louisiana, the USA. They are wildlife specialists. They care for otters: there are a lot of them in Louisiana. They prepare the babies of otters for life in the wild.

Some otters are sold the zoo. Most of the animals, however, go to the states where otters have nearly disappeared. When I visit my relatives I help them to care for otters. I love otters, especially the babies. I feed them, clean their cages. My uncle says that he is happy to see the otters coming back. I am also very happy. Now I know I want to work for a wild life park.

Does Nikki help the Earth?

What does Nikki do?

Jackie. I think there are a lot of ways we can help to save the Earth. One way is to remember the three R’s. I save the plastic bags we get at the grocery shop and reuse them. I save the plastic food containers. They make good water toys. Before I buy something, I ask myself the following question: “Can I recycle it? If I have to throw it away, will it damage the environment?” I’ve just joined the RSPB Young Ornithologist Club. I’ve even asked my mum to help me make a protecting area for birds and other wild animals. We have planted trees. We’ve also made a pond to help frogs. I want to be the kid who saves the Earth!

Does Jackie help the Earth?

What does Jackie do?

What does the RSPB mean? Consult the LCG (Linguistic and Cultural Guide) on page 269.

Nick. The problem of the environment is much spoken about on TV, radio, and in the newspapers. But my friends and I don’t really talk about it. In our school we don’t have an environmental programme. And I don’t care about it. I know GREENPEACE, THR WORLD WILDLIFE FUND and FRIENDS OF THE EARTH. These groups are specially organized to help nature. I think they should be in charge of the Earth.

Подведение итога урока (Звучит музыка, идут слайды презентации с картинами природы). Домашнее задание.

Let’s summarize everything we’ve learned today. You see the Earth is only a tiny part of the universe but nowadays it’s the only place we can live. People have always polluted their surroundings. Now pollution is a serious problem. Fortunately, it’s not too late to solve these problems. We have time, technology to make our planet a better, cleaner and safer place. You must remember every man is in charge of the planet and must try to do the Earth a better place.

Your home task is to make a project “Environmental Programmes in My Own Town”. Activity Book p.99, ex..8.
