Организационный момент:
Teacher: Good morning! Sit down, please. I’m very glad to see you, hope you are ready for the lesson and you are in a good mood.
Teacher: /introduction of the lesson/ Today we are going to talk about environmental problems and what our steps can be made to turn our planet or only the place where we live into a blossoming garden.
Warm-up activities:
Teacher: Let’s do phonetic drills first. Look at the blackboard and read the following combinations of words:
To forecast weather; climatic changes; to solve a problem; a shortage of drinking water; nuclear power; to cause destruction; air pollution; to survive; a habitat; below zero; the greenhouse affect; ozone holes; to influence the environment; extinct species of animals; to cure illnesses; to destroy forests; to dump waste in rivers.
Teacher: Listen to the tape and read the poem. Ex. 19 p.75 “I go forth to move about the Earth” Students read it individually and together.
Follow-up activities:
Activity 1. Listening. Teacher: You’ll listen to the text “ Why don’t we stop him ?” and say why the young member of the Women’s club wanted to stop the car producer. Additional questions: what are positive aspects of cars? What are negative aspects of cars?
Activity 2. Some of you are the members of our school club “Planet Protectors”. You discuss at your meetings how to save our fragile planet. As I know your aim is to turn our planet into a blossoming garden. I’d rather you spoke about main problems of our environment at our today’s English lesson. You have prepared some posters for our lesson. Let’s see why we say that our planet is in danger. /Student’s posters./

Activity 3. Teacher: American Indians who lived in harmony with nature appealed to the whites: /Звучит призыв и появляется изображение на экране./
Рис. 3
Only when all the rivers have run dry
And all the fish in the sea have died
Only when all the rainforests have been burnt down
And there is no food for the animals
Only when all the blue skies
Have been filled with smoke
And the cities of the world
Have chocked …
Will the white men understand that it’s
Too late to save the Earth ?
Teacher: What do you think of these words ? Were the Indians wiser than we are now ? Did they understand many years ago that our planet is in danger? Do you want to live in harmony with nature? Do you want to take care of birds and animals?
Teacher: Look at the blackboard and say if you agree or disagree with the next statements:
– If we are able to solve ecological problems, we will save the Earth
– People will be healthier if air pollution is stopped
– If different countries test nuclear weapons, it will cause radioactive pollution
– If factories pour waste into rivers, the water in them will be poisoned
– We will survive if we protect nature together
