Step 1 Free talk
T asks Ss to talk about the following three questions:
Do you like animals Why
Can animals live in nature free from harm and fear Why
In your opinion, who is the most fearsome hunter in the food chain
【設計意圖：通過三個問題的設置，讓學生初步思考動物的生存現狀和與人類之間的關系，在學生進行頭腦風暴的同時，為閱讀環節的引入做好鋪墊?！?br/>Step 2 Reading and understanding
T asks Ss to read the news report in part A on page 8 and answer the following questions:
What is the news report about
(Human activities cause increasing harm to animals.)
How does the news report develop
(Thesis statement→Deduction)
T asks Ss to read the news report again and answer more detailed questions:
In the first paragraph, which sentence can best summarize the main idea
(Human activities have brought many animals close to extinction.)
How many aspects of impacts about human activities are mentioned to support the main idea What are they
(Two. Direct impact and indirect impact.)
What are the three main reasons why people hunt animals
(People hunt animals for food, for fashion and for fun.)
How do human activities indirectly influence animals
(We destroy their habitats when we build farms or factories. Air, water, noise and light pollution can have an impact on animals.)
T asks Ss to retell the key points of the news report with the help of the chart below.

【設計意圖：通過skimming和scanning，讓學生在掌握文章結構、理清文章脈絡的同時，對文章細節性內容加以了解，并通過思維導圖的繪制，強化對課文重點內容的把握，并為聽力做好準備。】
Step 3 Reflecting and thinking
T leads Ss to reflect on humans’ behaviour and answer some questions.
T: After reading the news report, we have a further understanding of the direct and indirect impacts that human activities have brought to many animals. As we all know, we human beings and animals, as part of nature, should have lived in harmony with each other. However, the balance was broken. I think it’s time to reflect on what we have done and put forward some practical solutions. Please think about the following questions:
What do you think of humans’ behaviour Why
What’s the significance of protecting animals
In terms of the impacts caused by human activities mentioned in the news report, what should we do accordingly
Step 4 Watching
T leads Ss to watch the video and complete tasks in part B.
Before watching
T: Before we watch the video, please first read the questions in part B1 on page 9, and make some reasonable predictions about the answers. When watching the video, remember to take notes of key information such as thesis statement, key words or key phrases.
While watching
T leads Ss to watch the video and complete the questions in part B1 on page 9.
T leads Ss to watch the video again and complete the notes in part B2 on page 9.
After watching
T shares the tapescript with Ss and checks answers with them, and then asks Ss to think about the following questions:
Why are whale species mentioned in the video
What aspects about animal protection are mentioned in the video
【設計意圖：這一部分有B1和B2兩個部分要完成，在前面討論的基礎上，可以先讓學生對B1部分的內容進行合理預測。同時提醒學生在觀看視頻時學會記錄要點信息。完成視聽訓練后，通過兩個問題，引導學生在回憶文章內容和翻看筆記的基礎上，對問題進行思考和回答?！?br/>Step 5 Consolidation
T leads Ss to review some useful expressions they have learned while watching the video.
1. Significance of animal protection
to make our world more beautiful and lively
to provide food and medicine for us
to play a role in maintaining the balance of our ecosystem
2. Ways to protect animals
to make hunting endangered animals against the law
to protect animal habitats
to make people understand the problems faced by animals
【設計意圖：梳理本節課所學關于animal protection的內容，既可以再次加深對主題的認識，又可以鞏固重要的句式和表達, 通過充分輸入，為下節課寫作的輸出做好準備?！?br/>Ⅴ. Homework
Accumulate more expressions and ideas about animal protection by referring to dictionaries and surfing the Internet.
