The songToday you are going camping
With your family, friends or class.

‘Cos’ your litter lives longer than us.
<Слайд14>
Today you cut down your forests
But the planet needs our leaves.
Please stop it because tomorrow
You'll have no air to breathe!
<Слайд15>
Refrain: 'Cos nothing is forever
And nature is getting tired.
If we don't stop and think today
Tomorrow the Earth could die.
<Слайд16>
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.
<Слайд17>
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 books.
<Слайд18>
Teacher: Read the song. Check your answers on the screen.
Who is speaking in the first verse? (forests and fields)
Who is speaking in the second verse? (trees)
Who is speaking in the third verse? (rivers)
Who is speaking in the fourth verse? (animals and birds)
Will you give the song a name?
Choose the best one: “TOMORROW AND TODAY!”, “SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT!”, “OCEANS, FORESTS AND ANIMALS”, “PLEASE, STOP!”
Teacher: Let’s sing the song together!
Teacher: As you see, the ecological problems are dangerous not only for people but also for animals, birds and plants. They need growing space too.
Man is beginning to understand that his environment is not just his own town or country, but the whole earth. That’s why people form the organizations that work to protect the environment from harm. Can you name the most famous of them? (Greenpeace) <Слайд 19>
6) Совершенствование навыков ознакомительного чтения.
Teacher: We have the report about this organization made by 3 reporters. By mistake they divided this report into 3 parts and mixed them. Read the text and put the paragraphs into the right order.
(Учащимся раздаются карточки)
Greenpeace
B Greenpeace is an international environmental organization. It was founded in 1969 by a group of Canadian environmentalists. Members of Greenpeace appear in the places where the environment is endangered. They always act fast and bravely. The whole world knows about the Greenpeace actions to stop hunting whales or killing baby seals. They block the way to the ships that try to dump waste, and work hard to create a nuclear-free world. The activity of Greenpeace often annoys governments, companies and people who don't care about the future of the world.
A Sometimes Greenpeace activity can be quite dangerous. For example, on July 10, 1985, the Greenpeace ship Rainbow Warrior that was on its way to French Polynesia to protest against nuclear tests, was destroyed by French agents. It created a serious international accident.
C Greenpeace has offices in many countries of the world including Russia. People, who can't take part in Greenpeace actions directly support this organization with money. Greenpeace members are often referred to as "greens". The "greens" are groups of people whose aim is protection of natural things, e.g. plants and animals.
Teacher: Read the first paragraph.
Now the second and the third.
Check your answers on the screen. <Слайд 20>
Give the headings to each paragraph. (Дети предлагают свои варианты).
Which is the best?
7) Выполнение проектного задания с элементами моделирования в группах.
Teacher: As the members of International Ecological Congress we should help the Greenpeace organization. Let’s design T-shirts telling people about ecological problems of the day. Work in your groups and design a T-shirt on these sheets of paper. Show your design to other groups and prove it.
(Каждой группе дается заготовка макета майки; учащиеся рисуют картинки и пишут лозунги. Затем каждая группа представляет свой дизайн майки).
1.Don’t make fires in the forests. As the result of the fire
we can speak about the destruction of the whole forest.
Burning makes air pollution worse.
2. Don’t pollute the air! Clean air is necessary for our health.
We need good filters at nuclear power stations, at factories
and plants, and also in cars and busses.
3. Take care of animals! Nowadays there are a lot of endangered animals:
their number is so small, they can easily die out.
Teacher: Let’s choose the best T-shirts.
