Unit4 Wildlife Protection--period1 教案

Part 1 Teaching Design第一部分 教学设计Period 1 A sample lesson plan for reading(HOW DAISY LEARNED TO HELP WILDLIFE)IntroductionIn this period, after the warming up, students will first be guided to talk about wildlife preservation. Then they will be helped to read a narration about a girl called Daisy learning to help wildlife. Three “Warming Up” designs are presented in this book for teachers reference. Computer and overhead projector may be used to aid the teaching and learning. Objectives To help students learn express intentions and purposes To help students learn express apologies To help students learn read a narrative passage about wildlife protection To help students better understand animals To help students learn use some important words and expressions To help students identify examples of “The Present Perfect Passive Voice” in the textFocusWordshunt, affect, appreciate, succeed, employ, harm, bite, inspectExpressions die out, in peace, in danger of, in relief, burst into laughter, protectfrom, pay attention to, come into being, according to, so thatPatterns Our fur is being used to make sweaters for people like you.Flying carpet, please show me a place where theres some wildlife protection.

Domesticated wildlife are plants, animals, and other living things that have been removed from nature and raised in an environment that is more or less controlled. Domestication, act of taming, or controlling, wild plant and animal species and producing them for human benefit, is performed often and has an impact on the environment, both positive and negative. Wildlife is a very general term for life in ecosystems. Deserts, rainforests, plains, and other areasincluding the most built-up urban sitesall have distinct forms of wildlife. Humans have historically tended to separate civilization from wildlife in a number of ways; besides the obvious difference in vocabulary, there are differing expectations in the legal, social, and moral sense. This has been a reason for debate throughout recorded history. Religions have often declared certain animals to be sacred, and in modern times concern for the environment has provoked activists to protest the exploitation of wildlife for human benefit or entertainment. Literature has also made use of the traditional human separation from wildlife. Warming up by talking about key threats to wildlife Many animals are threatened by human actions. But what are the key threats to them?Key Threats to Wildlife1. Habitat Loss Because our population is growing and our cities are sprawling into the countryside, fewer natural wildlife habitat areas are left each year. 2. Climate Change Because many types of plants and animals have specific habitat requirements, climate change could cause disastrous losses of wildlife species in China. 3. Pesticides and Toxic Chemicals Pesticides are deliberately spread to make the environment toxic to certain plants, insects or rodents, so it shouldnt be surprising that other plants and wildlife are often harmed at the same time. 4. Non-native Species Over the past 150 years, many non-native plants, molluscs, insects, fish, birds, mammals, and diseases have found their way to China. 5. Mismanagement Some native wildlife can become a problem when released from their natural population controls. Warming up by learning about the giant pandaLook at the photos below and listen to me telling you about the animals, the endangered animals. The giant panda is a mammal now usually classified in the bear family, Ursidae, that is native to central China.The Giant Panda lives in mountainous regions, like Sichuan and Tibet. The Giant Panda is the symbol of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), a conservation organization. Toward the latter half of the 20th century, the panda also became somewhat of a national emblem for China, and is now used in Chinese gold coins.Giant Pandas are an endangered species, threatened by continued loss of habitat and by a very low birthrate, both in the wild and in captivity. About 1,600 are believed to survive in the wild.2. Pre-reading by talking about wildlife preservationIn some countries, protected areas, wildlife preserves or national parks have been set up to protect wildlife and their natural habitat. The most prominent of these are listed as World Heritage Sites or Biosphere Reserves by the UNESCO. The establishment of parks has been motivated by a mixture of environmentalism, tourism, and other factors. Some of these parks merely prevent development of the land, while still allowing limited hunting and fishing as a population control measure. Others forbid hunting or fishing and some may also limit the number or type of tourist excursions. Wildlife crossings have been installed at some roads to reverse habitat fragmentation3.
