1、Unit 4 Wildlife protectionPart One: Teaching Design (第一部分：教学设计)Period 1: A sample lesson plan for reading(HOW DAISY LEARNED TO HELP WILDLIFE)AimsTo talk about endangered speciesTo read about wildlife protectionProceduresI. Warming up by learning about animalsLook at the photos below and listen to me

2、 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)

3、, 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 wil

4、d and in captivity. About 1,600 are believed to survive in the wild.Milu deer is a Chinese deer. It has a long tail, wide hooves, and branched antlers. Another Chinese name for it is “four unlikes,.” because the animals were seen as having the horns of a stag, the neck of a camel, the foot of a cow,

5、 and the tail of an ass. These animals were first made known to Western science in the 19th century, by Father Arm and David, a French missionary working in China. At the time, the only surviving herd was in a preserve belonging to the Chinese emperor. The last herd of Milu deers that remained in Ch

6、ina were eaten by Western and Japanese troops that were present at the time of the Boxer Rebellion.These deer are now found in zoos around the world, and a herd of Milu deer was reintroduced to Dafeng Reserve, China in the late 1980s. They are classified as “critically endangered.” in the wild, but

7、do not appear to have suffered from a genetic bottleneck because of small population size.A tiger is a large cat famous for its beautiful fur of orange striped with black. Tigers live in Asia and are becoming very rare. This is due to people hunting them for their fur and destroying the forests they

8、 live in.II. Pre-reading1 Defining wildlifeWhat does the world wildlife mean?The term wildlife refers to living organisms that are not in any way artificial or domesticated and which exist in natural habitats. Wildlife can refer to flora (plants) but more commonly refers to fauna (animals). Needless

9、 to say, wildlife is a very general term for life in various ecosystems. Deserts, rainforests, plains, and other areasincluding the most built-up urban sitesall have distinct forms of wildlife.Humankind has historically tended to separate civilization from wildlife in a number of ways; besides the o

10、bvious difference in vocabulary, there are differing expectations in the legal, social, and moral sense. This has been 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

11、protest the exploitation of wildlife for human benefit or entertainment.2. Reading to the recordingNow turn to page 26, listening and reading to the recording of the text. Try to keep pace with the native reader, making your reading resemble that of the reader, in speed, in intonation and in pronunc

12、iation. 3. Reading and transforming Now you are to read the text for information to fill in the form.What did Daisy see where she was?In Tibet in ChinaZimbabweIn thick rain forest4. Reading and underliningNext you are to read the text and underline all the collocations at the same time.HOW DAISY LEA

Closing up by matching animals to five risk categories Different endangered species appear on different endangered species lists. And people who are trying to protecting animal use the following five r

15、isk categories to group the unlucky animal.Now in groups of four try to group all the unlucky animals found in China.List of Unlucky animals found in China 中国不幸动物分类名录EXTINCT(灭绝动物)-A species formerly indigenous to Canada that no longer exists anywhere.EXTIRPATED（根绝动物）-A species no longer existing in

16、the wild in Canada but occurring elsewhere.ENDANGERED（濒危动物）-A species threatened with imminent extinction or extirpation throughout all or a significant portion of its Canadian range.THREATENED（危急动物）-A species likely to become endangered in Canada if the factors affecting its vulnerability are not r

17、eversed.VULNERABLE（弱势动物）-A species particularly at risk because of low or declining numbers, small range or for some other reason, but not a threatened species.Period 2: A sample lesson plan for Learning about Language(The Present Progressive Passive Voice) AimsTo learn about The Present Progressive

18、 Passive VoiceTo discover useful words and expressionsTo discover useful structures.ProceduresI. Warming up by acting a text playGood morning class. To begin with we shall put our text HOW DAISY LEARNED TO HELP WILDLIFE on stage, that is, to act out our story. Now the class acting team with their te

19、xt play of HOW DAISY LEARNED TO HELP WILDLIFE!II. Discovering useful words and expressions1. Doing vocabulary exercisesTurn to page 28 and do the vocabulary exercises 1, 2 and 3. You can simply write your answers in the blanks on the very page of 28.2. Playing a gameLets go on to play the game descr

20、ibed on the top of the page 29. The following sentences are to be passed on. Plant native plants in your backyard. Do not dump weeds in the bush. Build a frog pond in your backyard. Put your rubbish in the bin. Leave your pets at home. Do not take anything out of the park. Encourage your friends to

21、keep patches of bush as wildlife habitats. Join a community group and offer to do voluntary work. Find out about conservation activities happening in your local area. Participate in local clean-up, tree planting and weed control activities. Learn About Threatened Species Look out for wildlife Refuse

22、 to buy any rare or endangered plant or animal product. Be alert and drive slowly at dawn and dusk in rural areas where wildlife may be active. III. Studying The Present progressive Passive Voice1. Passive Voice The passive voice is used when focusing on the person or thing affected by an action. Th

23、e Passive is formed: Passive Subject + To Be + Past Participle It is often used in business and in other areas where the object of the action is more important than those who perform the action. For Example: We have produced over 20 different models in the past two years. Changes to: Over 20 differe

24、nt models have been produced in the past two years. If the agent (the performer of the action) is important, use “by.” For Example: Tim Wilson wrote The Flight to Brunnswick in 1987. The Flight to Brunnswick was written in 1987 by Tim Wilson. Only verbs that take an object can be used in the passive

25、. The following chart includes sentences changed from the active to the passive in the principal tenses. Active PassiveTime Reference They make Fords in Cologne. Fords are made in Cologne.Present SimpleSusan is cooking dinner. Dinner is being cooked by SusanPresent ContinuousJames Joyce wrote Dublin

26、ers. Dubliners was written by James Joyces.Past SimpleThey were painting the house when I arrived. The house was being painted when I arrived.Past ContinuousThey have produced over 20 models in the past two years. Over 20 models have been produced in the past two years.Present PerfectThey are going

27、to build a new factory in Portland. A new factory is going to be built in Portland.Future Intention with Going toI will finish it tomorrow. It will be finished tomorrow.Future Simple2. Passive Verb FormationThe passive forms of a verb are created by combining a form of the “to be verb.” with the pas

28、t participle of the main verb. Other helping verbs are also sometimes present: “The measure could have been killed in committee.” The passive can be used, also, in various tenses. Lets take a look at the passive forms of “design.”Tense Subject AuxiliaryPast Participle Singular Plural Present The car

29、/cars is are designed. Present perfect The car/cars has been have been designed. Past The car/cars was were designed. Past perfect The car/cars had been had been designed. Future The car/cars will be will be designed. Future perfect The car/cars will have been will have been designed. Present progre

30、ssive The car/cars is being are being designed. Past progressive The car/cars was being were being designed. IV. Reading and identifyingSince you are clear about Passive Verb Formation, go back to page 26 and scan the text for all the examples of The Present Progressive Passive Voice. Our fur is bei

31、ng used to make sweaters like yours.She was being watched by an excited elephant.Now try to put the following sentences into The Present Progressive Passive Voice. They are producing this new drug. Antelope is looking at her. They are killing us for the wool. They are destroying the farm.V. Discover

32、ing useful structures To consolidate your learning of The Present Progressive Passive Voice, turn to page 29 and do the grammar exercises 1, 2 and 3, also on the very page of 29.VI. Closing down by playing a gameTo end this period go to page 29 and play the game called “Tell me what is happening?” A

33、sk questions containing The Present Progressive Passive Voice. Period 3: A sample lesson plan for Using Language (ABOUT DINOSAURS)AimsTo read and listen about dinosaursTo speak about helping the dodoTo write to the dodoProceduresI. Warming up by reading to the tapeLets warm up by reading aloud to th

34、e recording of the text ABOUT DINOSAURS on page 30.II. Listening about DINOSAURSNow Id like to tell you something about DINOSAURS In formation about DinosaurDinosaur means terrible lizard in Latin. They were called that because people used to think dinosaurs were lizards, but they were not. Dinosaur

35、s first appeared about 200 million years ago. 65 million years ago, many kinds of dinosaurs became extinct. Birds are a special type of dinosaur and they were the only kind to live until today.There were many kinds of dinosaurs. Some ate plants and some ate meat. The largest dinosaurs were plant-eat

36、ers like apatosaurus and brachiosaurus. They were the largest animals to ever walk on dry land.Other plant-eaters had special weapons to help them fight off the meat-eaters. For example, triceratops had three horns on its face, ankylosaurus was covered in boney plates, and stegosaurus had spikes on

37、its tail.The meat-eaters all ran around on their back legs like people do. Some were very large, like tyrannosaurus, and some were small, like compsognathus. It was the smaller sized meat-eaters that evolved into birds. One of the first birds was archaeopteryx, but it looked half like a dinosaur.The

38、re were large flying reptiles that lived at the same time as dinosaurs called pterosaurs, but they were not closely related to dinosaurs. There were also many kinds of large reptiles that could swim, like ichthyosaurs and pleisiosaurs, but they werent closely related to dinosaurs either.III. Reading

39、 and copying Next we shall go back to the text ABOUT DINOSAURS on page 30 again to read it and copy down all the expressions into your notebook.Useful phrases from ABOUT DINOSAURSDuring the history of the earth, live on the earth, tens of millions of years ago, came into being, eggs of five species,

40、 a rare new species, a bird-like dinosaur, climb tree, tellfrom, die out, hit the earth, putinto the air, get hot, live on, know for sure, in the same way, listen to the story about, disappear from IV. Reading to answer questionsRead the questions in the table below and scan the text to answer them.

41、When did dinosaurs live on earth?When did dinosaurs die out?How did dinosaurs die out?V. Listening about the dodoHave you ever heard of the dodo, an animal that has also disappeared from the earth?The Mauritius Dodo (Raphus cucullatus, called Didus ineptus by Linnaeus), more commonly just Dodo, was

42、a metre-high flightless bird of the island of Mauritius. The Dodo, which is now extinct, lived on fruit and nested on the ground.Next we are going to listen to the tape and do exercises 1 and 2 on page 30 on dodo.VI. Speaking in pairs about helping the dodoZhao Yannan: The Dodo was driven to extinct

43、ion by sailors when they discovered the island of Maritius in the 17th century. It is one of the first documented human induced extinctions.Zhao Yanfei: What a pity that we can not find any dodo now. Imagine we are with the dodo, Yannan, what could we do to help it?Zhao Yannan: Then I would intend t

44、o hide it in a cave, so that sailors could not find it.Zhao Yanfei: If I were there, I would try to trap them as they were catching and killing the dodo. Putting man who is harmful to the dodo in a cage and attacking him is the best way to protect and save the dodo. Zhao Yannan: Id like to and Im re

45、ady to, teach man how to be friends with animals, including the dodo. The man and the dodo can be living side by side on the earth. They can be happy together.ZhaoYanfei: I would rather not tell you what I think of man. He is selfish and cruel. He cares only for himself and that is why so many anima

46、ls have disappeared from this earth. Putting the bad men in a cage is the only way out, I am sure.VII. Closing down by writing to the dodoAll right now, boys and girls, to end this period next you are to write a letter or an email to the dodo telling him what you are going to do to save him.By 1681,

47、 the last dodo died, and the species became extinct. After hundreds of years, no one recalled what a dodo bird was, and it was regarded as a myth invented by imaginative sailors. It wasnt until the 1900s when the bones were found that the dodo was believed to be real.Today, the dodo bird is a symbol

48、 of the harm humans can bring to other living things if we are irresponsible.Part Two: Teaching Resources (第二部分：教学资源)Section 1: A text structure analysis of HOW DAISY LEARNED TO HELP WILDLIFEI. Type of writing and summary of the ideaHOW DAISY LEARNED TO HELP WILDLIFEType of writingThis is a piece of

49、 narrative writing.Main idea of the passageDaisy went by flying chair to Tibet, Zimbabwe and a certain thick rain forest to visit endangered animals, which made her know a lot about some destructive as well as protection behaviors that people had done to wildlife.Idea of 1st paragraphDaisy arrived i

50、n Tibet to see a sad antelope to learn that in three years they may all be gone.Idea of 2nd and 3rd paragraphsDaisy came to Zimbabwe to see an excited elephant and learned that his family was being protected by man.Idea of 4th paragraphDaisy landed in a thick rain forest to find a clever monkey and

51、learned that no rain forest, no animals and no drugs.Idea of 5th paragraphDaisy returned home learning so much about wildlife.II. A text play（课本剧）of HOW DAISY LEARNED TO HELP WILDLIFE Daisy: (waking) Who are you? Why are you here in my bedroom?Chair: Excuse me. I am the famous Flying Chair. Daisy: W

52、hat are you here for?Chair: I am here to take you on a trip. Where would you go?Daisy: Id like to see animals that gave furs to make this sweater of mine.Chair: During the history of the earth there have lived on the earth many, many kinds of animals. But many have disappeared because of various rea

53、sons.Daisy: Yes, you are right. I learned from books that tens of millions of years ago, a rare new species of dinosaur, a bird-like dinosaur, came into being. It could climb trees and was very lovely. Then it died out because something hit the earth suddenly, putting much dust into the air. So the

54、earth got too hot for the animal to live on.Chair: But no one knows for sure what caused all those ancient animals to die out, disappearing from the earth for ever.Daisy: I shall get dressed and put on my jeans and sweater soon. Then lets fly away to Tibet China to see the antelopes.Chair: Here we a

55、re in Tibet! Turn around. There is a antelope there with a sad face.Antelope: Hello, friends. Welcome to my home. You two look so friendly, unlike those who came to kill us to use our furs make sweaters. Daisy: Sweaters like the one I am wearing? Oh, I am terribly sorry. Antelope: The bad men came i

56、n groups to kill my family members for the wool. They took it from under our stomach. Chair: I shall take a picture of you and the antelope, to be shown to all the world people.Daisy: Come Antelope! Lets have a picture taken together. We shall be off to Zimbabwe too see elephants there.Chair: Here w

57、e are. This is a national park for animals. People came to see them and help with them.Daisy: Look, there comes an excited elephant. Hello, dear Elephant! Why are you so excited?Elephant: We are all excited because things have changed a lot here.Chair: Why? What happened?Elephant: We became endangered years ago. People came to destroy the farm and kill us for trunks. They are actually our long teeth. Daisy: I have heard of that. They take your teeth and make them into art work.Chair: Man is really selfish and disgusting. But Daisy is a nice girl
